Chapter 85
85-1 Cannot Leave The Werewolf Land Now
Madeline:
“It’s not like that,” I stuttered as I looked at their innocent faces, waiting for me to respond.
“ It’s okay, Mommy, you don’t have to answer us. But I’m glad you left that place. We already got the answers when we saw how they treated you,” Elara said, surprising me with her maturity.
I broke down in front of them, trying to smile through my tears.
“Mommy, please don’t cry p>
Bodhi got up and held my hand, guiding me to sit on his bed.
The others came closer and hugged me.
“You don’t need them, Mommy. You have us,” they said together.
Their words filled me with warmth, realizing my children were more mature than the family I had once depended
It comforted me in a way I hadn’t expected. I decided then, I would stop thinking about them.
After taking care of my kids, I tucked them into bed.
Then I stood up and walked out of the room, planning to have a glass of wine.
I thought Baxter would be gone by now. By the end of the day, he always went back to comfort Yuvonne because, as she said, I had ruined her day.
But when I stepped into the living room, I was surprised to see him still there.
The moment he saw me, he stopped pacing and quickly walked toward me
I raised my hand to stop him.
“Let’s initiate the rejection.” That was the first thing I said.
I noticed the veins on his neck tense.
“No.” After a brief pause, he replied firmly, shaking his head in disbelief.
“What do you mean by no? I want rejection. That’s my final decision. It’s the only way we can move forward,” I said through clenched teeth, my fists tightening.
He stared at me like I was asking for something unreasonable.
Then he took a deep breath and shook his head again.
“I said no. I’m not going to reject you. I stayed here to apologize and comfort you, not to have the rejection thrown in my face,” he responded, his tone sharper than I expected.
“Then what do you want from me? Because this mate bond is not going anywhere. It’s not going to change the fact that you’re engaged to my sister and I’m married. So what’s the point of staying connected?” I asked, keeping my eyes locked on his.
“You promised, Baxter. You promised I would be respected there. But I came back humiliated, with my children full of questions. You’re the reason we’re hurt today.” My voice trembled, but I didn’t look away.

“And I’m sorry for it. If anything, it made me realize that you were right,” he began, but I shook my head, refusing to let him twist things with his words again.
“You’re the reason I went there. You tricked me into it. And now I’m in a mess because of you, Baxter. So believe me, I’m rejecting you this full moon to make it official. I don’t care what you say. You’ll have to accept it,” I said, my voice cracking slightly.
He looked like he had seen hell.
If he hadn’t convinced me to go there, pretending everything was fine, I wouldn’t have been questioned in front of my kids.
And that wasn’t even the worst part.
The worst part was the feeling that something else had happened, something I couldn’t quite focus on.
“Please leave,” I demanded, swallowing my anger to sound calm, even though I didn’t have to.
He stared at me for a moment before finally turning around and storming out of the room.
Once he was gone, I let out a long breath and walked back to my room.
I removed my makeup and took a shower, but nothing helped calm me down.
Eventually, exhaustion took over.
Whenever I stay angry for hours, I end up drained, and that’s what happened.
I fell asleep, not knowing what kind of disaster waited for me the next morning.
When I woke up, the kids were already up, taken care of by Nina. I, on the other hand, was a mess.
My eyes were swollen, and the bags underneath were huge, so I had to apply double makeup before leaving my
room.
After fixing my appearance, I walked out wearing blue baggy jeans, a white top, and a pink sweater.
“I made you coffee. It’ll help with the headache,” Nina said as I sat at the table near the large window, my hand covering my eyes.
She patted my back before leaving to bring the cup.
We had arranged a small setup in the corner to make something for ourselves in emergencies.
Living in the suite still felt like temporary camping, with little help and no proper kitchen.
I needed a real place where my kids could go outside, play in the garden, and be among trees, just the way they liked.
While Nina prepared the coffee, I checked my phone and saw several missed calls and messages from Baxter, all saying the same thing–apologies.
Then I noticed a text from Yuvonne, and my body stiffened.
Stupid: It was a huge night for me, Madeline, and you ruined it. I hope you get karma for it.
I clenched my fists, ready to type something back, when another notification appeared, one that made me forget about her completely.

It was a new article from the same reporter I had seen with my sister before.
I had subscribed to their channel to keep up with updates about the kids and that sickness spreading among them.
The title made my heart tighten.
“The Human Savior Shows Her Wolf. Does That Mean She’s Not Leaving the Werewolf Land p>
My eyes widened as I quickly opened the article.
It was a one–on–one interview between the reporter and my half–sister.
In one part, she said,
“It was really surprising when I saw my sister’s wolf last night. It made me think, oh my God, my sister is staying with us now! I mean, human land is nice, but I think my sister will love it here. Finally, she has a home, and it’s where she belongs p>
Her words sounded warm and proud, like she was genuinely happy for me.
But I knew better.
I knew the kind of monster she was.
This wasn’t excitement, it was cruelty disguised as care.
She had ruined everything for me again.
Because now, even if I wanted to go back to the human land, I couldn’t.
