Chapter 76
76 –After He Kissed Me
Madeline:
“What the fuck, Elgin?” I finally managed to push him away.
I grunted, trying to get out of the car, but he instantly slammed the door shut, making me glare at him as he walked around to the other side and slid back into the driver’s seat, looking smug and satisfied. 1
“Do you realize what you just did?” I snapped, clenching my fists, trying to calm my nerves.
“Let’s not make a huge deal out of it,” he muttered with a small smile.
“ What the fuck do you mean by ‘let’s not make a huge deal out of it‘?” I shot back angrily.
“ I’m just saying, you were trying to avoid the situation. But I knew something was up. So what if I helped you realize what our feelings were? Is that too much to ask?” he reasoned.
Instead of feeling guilty, he was questioning me, questioning why I didn’t want to find out if we were mates.
“Fine, we’re mates. Now what? Now I have more questions than before. Why the fuck do I have so many mates? Not just mates, the men I’ve had babies with. Am I feeling this mate bond because, in some twisted way, the Moon Goddess is punishing me for sleeping with three men and having children with them? Or is it something else? Was I always meant to mate with all of you, and that’s why I had a crush on you?” I said between sharp breaths, slamming my forehead with my palm because nothing was making sense.
There was no information about the Grey wolf anywhere.
“Okay, calm down. It’s not that bad,” he murmured.
As soon as he said that, I turned in my seat toward him, and he quickly looked away.
“Maybe talk to your parents?” he suggested.
The moment he said that, my whole body tensed. My muscles stiffened.
“My parents? I don’t have a mother. And my father, he’s an asshole,” I retorted, noticing the way he glanced at
But I knew, unlike Baxter, Elgin wouldn’t complain about me using those words for my
father.
He knew how hard my life had been with that man.
“Well, at least we know your father isn’t special. What if your mother was? You must’ve gotten these grey genes from somewhere,” he said, his tone softening.
His words surprisingly helped me relax. I turned my gaze to the window, wondering if maybe he was right.
“Do you know anything about your mother?” he asked.
I sank back into my seat.
“Come on, I think you do. You’ve never really talked about her. I remember we asked you many times before,” he continued, driving slowly as he spoke.
“Can you please just stop talking? I really can’t hear your voice right now,” I snapped.
He smiled, clearly knowing why I was angry with him. But there was another reason

I didn’t want to talk about my mother, the only thing I’d ever heard about her was that everyone called her a
whore.
By the time we arrived at the suite, I rushed to the elevator to check on my kids.
Elgin followed me inside, but thankfully he didn’t disturb my peace.
Once we reached my floor, I didn’t expect someone to already be waiting.
Right outside my suite, standing in front of the Warriors, was Kaylee, her arms folded over her chest.
I could tell they hadn’t let her in, which I was grateful for.
She looked like she had been through a lot, from her red eyes and the veins visible on her forehead, to the tension in her expression.
When her eyes landed on me, I could already tell she was having thoughts.
She started walking toward me briskly, but then looked past me.
The moment she saw Elgin instead of Graham, her body seemed to relax.
“Kaylee, I see you were outside my room. Did you need anything?” I asked softly, not wanting to sound hostile.
Her husband had been spending most of his time with me, and even though he was my mate, it didn’t justify him cheating on her or expecting her not to feel some kind of way about it.
“Where is Graham?” she asked, keeping her voice calm.
“A situation came up, and he’s at a location trying to make a report,” Elgin explained quickly, stepping in to answer for me.
“What kind of situation? Is he okay?” she asked, genuine concern crossing her face.
“Yeah, he’s fine. He and Baxter are handling the issue. Don’t worry, they’ll be back soon. Do you need any help?” Elgin asked, his tone polite.
“No–yes. I need to go to the hospital. Can you please tell Graham to come soon? He needs to take me there,” she replied softly.
Her voice came out like a faint whisper, and I couldn’t tell if she was trying to speak quietly or if something else
was wrong.
Either way, she left after saying that much.
“This one’s a weird one,” Elgin muttered.
I rolled my eyes at him.
“What?” he asked, following me into my suite.
Inside, I found Nina sitting on the couch, her fist resting under her cheek, eyes half–closed as if she were about to fall asleep.
“Nina,” I called gently, patting her shoulder.
“Oh, Madeline—oh my God, you’re back! You’re okay!” she exclaimed, jumping up to hug me.
When she pulled away, she rubbed her eyes, smearing her mascara in the process.

“ You can go rest now, okay? I’m here, ” I told her, patting her back. She nodded and headed to her room.
Then I turned to Elgin with a look that said it all.
“ You know who’s worse than Kaylee? Silver,” I snapped, reminding him that he couldn’t talk about Kaylee when he was with a much crazier she–wolf.
“Well, don’t state the obvious, I know that. And it’s not like I slept with her because I wanted to. I told you, I was drunk that night. She showed up out of nowhere, and who knows, maybe she even took advantage of me, ” he grumbled, sounding frustrated that I was bringing it up again.
Honestly, at that point, I felt guilty for it.
