462 – How Is He Back Again?
Madeline:
“I’m sorry, but you cannot meet her. Only an Alpha or higher up is allowed inside her mansion,” the warrior informed me, blocking the entrance to Yuvonne’s mansion. 1
I had come to see her. I wanted to check on her.
Ever since she helped me, I had thought about her often. I was worried about her mind and how she was coping.
But I was not allowed to meet her.
She has been in lockdown for a while.
It did not feel right that they were holding her accountable when there were conversations proving she had not asked to be raped. She had not shapeshifted into anyone.
They were simply looking for someone to step forward and take the blame for the shapeshifting.
The other Alphas were still free, and they had not received punishment as harsh as hers. It was heartbreaking. 1 “Can you please let her know I came to see her? It will put her at ease,” I requested.
He nodded softly with an empathetic smile on his lips.
With that, I walked back toward the cab I had arrived in.
“Mommy, are we going home now?” Elara asked.
They were tired. They had been with me since morning. We first visited the hospital to see Baxter, and then we came here to see Yuvonne, but we were not allowed inside.
“Yes. Some alphas will be coming over to test the medicine,” I replied, laughing softly at myself for including my children in conversations they did not understand.
Sometimes I just needed someone to talk to.
Lady Eugenia had made it difficult for Lord Jonah to come downstairs and speak with us. He would only come down to take his food and return upstairs. (1)
I had never seen a woman so difficult to deal with. I did not know what her problem was anymore.
As soon as I sat down, my phone started ringing.
It was the hospital.
My heart pounded in my ears.
I took a deep breath. My hands were shaking as I answered.
“Hello? Is everything okay?” I asked, swallowing my fear.
“I would like to speak with you about your husband’s condition,” the doctor responded. His tone was calm, but it still unsettled me.

“Why? Is he not okay?” I pressed. “I just saw him an hour ago p>
“After you left, we had a discussion,” he explained. “There is a treatment we are considering for Baxter. This treatment has helped werewolves in comas before. We would like to speak with you about it.” 2
Hope entered his voice, and it lifted my spirits.
I smiled and nodded, even though he could not see me.
“Of course. I will come by today,” I agreed, imagining Baxter waking up.
“You do not have to come today. How about tomorrow?” he suggested.
“Yes. Yes, tomorrow,” I replied, nodding again as I wrapped my free arm around Elara. She looked up at me in confusion.
“Kids, your daddy will be home soon. He will get better,” I assured them, hugging them both as they began clapping happily.
“What about Gina? When will she come home?” Bodi asked.
It never ended with them.
Once again, he mentioned Gina, and my smile faded.
“She’s resting forever now. Let’s not talk about it,” I replied quickly, turning to look out the window to hide my
tears.
“Mommy lies a lot. Gina is fine,” Elara whispered to Bodi.
I closed my eyes, guilt pressing against my chest.
It made me realize they were not crying because they still believed she was fine. 1
The cab dropped us at home.
My children jumped out and hurried inside to watch TV. I could tell they had missed it the most.
I laughed as they helped each other open the door and rushed in.
I stayed in the garden, searching through my bag for the files I carried.
When I heard another car stop, I knew he had arrived.
I grabbed my files and my bag, set them on the bench, and turned around without going inside to freshen up. I just wanted to finish this so I could spend the rest of the day thinking about Baxter waking up.
But the moment the alpha stepped out, my mood darkened.
It was Elgin.
He wore a black leather jacket and moved forward with confidence he did not deserve, a wide grin on his face as if announcing his return.
My heart pounded as I watched him approach.

“So it seems we are working together again,” he remarked with a smile.
I stared at him for a few seconds before looking away, steadying my breathing.
“Do not worry. I do not mean trouble,” he continued when I stayed silent. “I do not want to go back to when we were fighting. It is better if we focus on the mission so the children who are suffering can get better soon. That is all I hope from this meeting.” 1
He was the only one speaking at this point. And I began to have flashes of his face from when he was mistreating
