Madeline:
“Actually, she’s a little tired after everything that happened today and the mission with all the interviews. I think it’s better if she rides in the car and rests,” Alpha Graham said confidently, making the decision for me.
Ron looked awkward after being told I couldn’t go with him, especially since it came from the alphas instead of
“Oh, it’s entirely up to her. I didn’t mean to make her uncomfortable. If she’s tired, you’re right, she should go in the car and rest,” he replied, the soft smile that had once covered his lips beginning to fade.
“Actually, I’m not really that tired,” I snapped, standing up for myself.
The others stared at me, their eyes darkening as if to remind me that we still had an unfinished conversation about the mate bond, and here I was, already about to take a walk with Alpha Ron.
“Really, I don’t want to make you uncomfortable, but it would be a pleasure if you did go take a short walk. Besides, the hotel is right there. It won’t be a long walk anyway,” Alpha Ron added softly.
The three of them kept watching my face, trying to get my attention and make me change my mind.
But I didn’t glance back at them as I was ready to leave with Ron. Soon, I began to walk away.
“See you guys then,” I said, stepping past the three.
Ron looked genuinely happy and excited to have this walk. I wondered what he was planning to talk about.
Back when I used to be part of his pack, we never really crossed paths or spoke directly, except for that one time I had to convince him to let me stay at his house to speak with the alphas.
As we left the mansion, I heard the alphas storm into their car. Even the way they slammed the doors shut sounded loud and aggressive.
“Are they okay?” Ron asked.
I shook my head and gave him an awkward smile.
“I don’t know, maybe they had an argument. You know how alphas are, when they’re friends, the bickering gets wild p>
I tried to calm the situation, even though it seemed like the alphas didn’t care about their reputations or about rumors spreading around anymore.
They used to care too much before, but now that I cared, they suddenly didn’t.
“Anyway, it was really great what you did, the way you handled the issue. We were impressed. Everybody is impressed,” Ron said as we walked slowly.
His hands were tucked into his pants pockets, his black leather jacket catching the moonlight.
I held my hands under my abdomen, walking in a composed manner.
“It was really nothing. You guys are hyping me up for nothing. The main issue is still there,” I murmured softly, looking up at the sky as a car drove past us.
I caught sight of Baxter driving, his eyes meeting mine in the mirror before they disappeared from view.

“But it was still something. You did a great job. Everybody’s hopeful now,” Ron added.
“I’ll only feel the victory once it’s all over and the kids are safe,” I replied.
“Right. Which brings me to a question I hope you won’t mind,” he began carefully.
The moment his tone turned formal, I already knew what he was going to ask.
“You’re going to ask me about my children’s father, aren’t you?” I said with a small laugh that came out more like a choke.
He nodded, biting his tongue.
“Would that be too invasive?” he asked, watching my face for a reaction.
When I shook my head, he let out a quiet breath of relief.
“So, is he in the picture?” he asked awkwardly.
The way he was acting, sneaky and overly curious about the children’s father, didn’t seem like someone worried about the kids or their pain.
He seemed more interested in my personal life, and I immediately started to nod.
“Oh yes, my husband in the human world, his name is Sawyer,” I stated quickly.
As soon as the words left my mouth, I turned slightly and noticed the color drain from his face.
“Come on, it’s okay. You don’t have to lie to me,” he replied softly, giving me a look that told me he would keep the secret.
“I’m not lying. I have a husband. His name is Sawyer. He lives in the human world. Why don’t you guys ever believe me?” I asked with a small laugh, though I couldn’t help finding it ironic.
Everyone I told about my husband refused to believe me.
“Because how could a husband who claims you let you walk back into the dangerous world of werewolves? If I were your husband, I wouldn’t leave your side, Madeline,” he said suddenly, stopping in his tracks.
His tone turned soft and almost romantic as at me with nothing but longing, and my heart dropped into my chest in shock.
“That’s really sweet of you.” I didn’t know how to respond, so that was all I could manage.
As I tried to continue walking, I noticed he didn’t move. It was clear he still had something more to say.
“I really like you, Madeline. I mean, the minute I saw you, I started to develop this crush on you,” he confessed, making my jaw almost drop.
The same Madeline who had once been overlooked by everyone was now being noticed and asked out by alphas left and right.
Honestly, I wasn’t ready for it. It was too much, too much attention I didn’t even want.
“Um, that’s really sweet, but I have a husband, and I think I should go. My kids tend to wake up in the middle of the night,” I rambled, and he began to laugh softly, cutting me off.
“It’s okay. You don’t have to react or do anything about it. I just wanted you to know how I feel. I’ve always been open about things. Now, let’s get you home to your kids,” he replied calmly and confidently, making it clear he

didn’t want the night to end on an awkward note.
As he started walking ahead, he gestured for me to follow.
And honestly, I realized how good he was at bringing comfort, even after casually dropping his confession on me like a bomb.
