431–Karma Tastes So Bitter
Elgin:
My steps went numb. I could not run after that. I just started moving toward my bedroom with heavy steps. She was in my bedroom with someone else. I was listening to her talk. Her words were tearing through my heart.1 At the same time, sudden flashbacks started hitting me. It felt like something was happening to my mind.
I felt as if Madeline was standing a short distance in front of me near the door. She had her arms crossed over her chest, and she was looking at me with a very cocky expression.
“So, what happened? Looks like your pride has been shattered,” Madeline said.
I slowly placed my hand on the wall to steady myself. A condition like this for an Alpha only happens after a deep betrayal, and that was exactly what had happened to me.
I shook my head and forced myself to focus as I reached the door. Strange muffled sounds were coming from inside.
“Yes daddy, mummm, ahhh!” she was still crying out shamelessly.
But the moment my hand touched the door, she went completely silent. A yelp came from inside, as if she had been startled.
“Open the door,” I whispered helplessly.
I should have shouted at her, but I was so dazed that I could not raise my voice. After a few moments, I gathered myself. I could hear panic in the room.
I knew I had to make her open the door. I started pounding on it hard with my fists. She still did not open it. I stepped back and broke the door with a hard kick.
As soon as I went inside, I saw that the atmosphere in the room was completely different. Candles were lit, and the scent of room freshener was mixed with the smell of betrayal.
“Where is he?” I shouted at her.
“What are you talking about? I just woke up,” Silver replied hastily, adjusting her robe. Her hair was messy. It was clear she still thought she could lie to me.
“Where did he go?” I shouted again. “Who dares to do this to his Alpha p>
I could not even look at her properly. I rushed toward the bathroom. It was empty. I looked under the bed and checked the closet.
Then I felt cold air coming from the window and realized he had escaped through it. I went to the window, but there was no one below. It was already too late.
“Have you gone crazy? First you leave in the middle of the night, and now you come back drunk. Your mind must be messed up,” Silver complained.
I slowly turned back to face her. When she saw the anger in my eyes, she took a step back.

“Elgin, what happened to you? Do you have a problem?” she asked innocently. She was clearly pretending
“How could you do this to me?” I said with difficulty. “What did I not do for you? I left my fated mate. I gave up my child just for you, and you did this to me,” I shouted,
I had screamed so much that my throat began to hurt. What made me even angrier was that there was no shame on her face. She was still acting as if she did not know what had happened.
“Have you lost your mind? You went out at midnight, and now you are talking nonsense. Nothing happened. 1 did nothing,” she insisted.
The more she lied, the angrier I became. It felt as if she had reached into my throat, grabbed my heart, and closed her fist around it.
“You still have the nerve to lie to me,” I shouted as loudly as I could.
There was open defiance on her face.
While I was hyperventilating and glaring at her for answers, she casually shrugged her shoulders and then pouted at me.
“I don’t know what the fuck is wrong with you,” she muttered, her lips still pushed forward.
She let out a small laugh, the sound slipping from her mouth, and it made me feel even smaller.
“Silver, don’t play with me,” I hissed, stepping closer to her.
I lifted my hand slightly, but I could not bring myself to touch her.
“I’m not playing you. You’ve lost your mind, that’s all,” she replied, reaching over to the side table and picking up a glass before pouring herself some wine.
“For you, I broke my mate’s heart,” I whispered in a low voice.
That was when I noticed anger cover her face, her expression worsening as she looked at me.
“Are you seriously using a lie so you can openly talk about that slut?” she asked, her eyes fixed on me.
As I watched her take a sip of wine and struggle to swallow, I noticed sweat forming on her temples.
“Madeline,” I whispered, saying her name as I got Silver’s attention.
She grunted and lifted her head.
“Did you just say her name?” Silver asked me, shameless enough to still have the audacity to question me after what I saw tonight.
