Chapter 91
91– He Came With Demands
Madeline:
“No, you’re not leaving,” Elgin said as he rushed over and grabbed the bag out of my hand.
“ You don’t understand, Graham’s father is asking for a DNA test,” I whispered, making sure Nina couldn’t hear me. I’d told her to stay in the room with the kids so they wouldn’t overhear what was happening outside. But truthfully, I also didn’t want her to know what was going on.
“Everything will be taken care of, don’t worry. He can’t just come in and demand a DNA test, ” Elgin tried to reassure me, but I shook my head until my eyes landed on Baxter, who had been standing in the corner with his fists clenched.
“You need to leave, Baxter. This is all because of you. You took me somewhere I didn’t want to go. You made me believe that when I make decisions for myself, I’m always right, and that when I let others manipulate me, that’s when I get in trouble!” I shouted at him, then covered my mouth and pressed a hand to my forehead. I was really freaking out.
“Madeline, there are warriors at the shore bank. They’ve been warned about your situation. You might think it’s not that bad, but it’s serious. You’re a human researcher, the great human lady our werewolf land wanted to meet. It’s not a bad thing, trust me. They’re not angry with you, and they’re not going to hurt you. They’re actually excited to have you here, it’s like an achievement for them,” Elgin tried to explain, but my eyes were still locked on Baxter.
“Do you have nothing to say for yourself?” I yelled again, my voice trembling with anger.
“I’m sorry,” Baxter uttered.
I clenched my jaw.
“We can tell them to just take a blood test from one of the kids, but not Elara. They’ll never figure it out,” Baxter suggested weakly, trying to find an excuse.
I glared at him even harder.
“And you think they won’t test the other kids for their father?” I snapped.
“Listen, whatever’s happening between you two, and whatever he did, he’ll be held accountable for it. Please, calm down. We’ll make sure we handle this. You won’t be in trouble,” Elgin said, clearly unsure how he was actually going to fix the situation, but desperate to stop me from leaving.
“ I don’t care. I’m leaving,” I stated stubbornly.
That was when the door to the suite opened again. This time, it looked like hotel management had allowed someone in, and that meant it was serious. My body went into panic mode instantly, because that could only mean someone with authority had arrived.
I looked at Elgin and Baxter, who both stepped forward, standing protectively in front of me as people began to
enter.
As I feared, Lord Eldon was back, this time with the other council members behind him for backup. He was the head of the council community, after all. But what truly shocked me was seeing his son beside him–Graham.
“What’s going on here? You can’t just barge into someone’s suite like that!” Elgin snapped, glaring at the council members behind Lord Eldon.

“ We promised respect to this woman, and now you’re just walking into her room like this?” Baxter added, his tone sharp.
But the moment he spoke, everyone exchanged knowing smirks.
“Well, we heard about your fiancée’s interview,” Lord Eldon said dryly. “Doesn’t seem like you’re the one who should be lecturing us about respect. ”
His jab hit Baxter hard and rightfully so. For all his blaming and defending, he was the main reason any of this was happening.
“ It seems to me as if you were going somewhere,” Lord Eldon commented with a smirk on his lips. Of course, he knew I was trying to run away.
“Yeah, we’ve requested Alpha Ron to arrange a new place for her. Staying in a suite this long is kind of weird now, it’s been weeks,” Alpha Elgin said, clearing his throat and making up a lie.
Lord Eldon gave him a brief glance before chuckling to himself. He was always like this, judging others or trying to figure out what they were doing with their lives.
“Anyway, what are you doing here?” I asked Lord Eldon, folding my arms across my chest. I no longer cared how anyone felt about the way I spoke to their family members. None of their families deserved my respect.
“Oh, remember I had a conversation with you about this in the morning? You said I’m just a random man, that I can’t come here and demand a DNA test. So I brought my son. He wants to request the DNA test,” Lord Eldon said, patting Graham’s back.
My eyes shifted to Graham. The moment our eyes met, he looked away. I couldn’t believe how low he had sunk. In my head, I shouted at him, reminding him how he never wanted the babies to be his, and now here he was, standing beside a council, demanding a DNA test.
“So what makes you think Graham isn’t a random man?” I said loud enough for him to hear. His eyes widened.
“I’m sorry, but he used to be my friend. He’s nothing to me now. He’s married. I’m married. I don’t understand why you’re suggesting we cheated or slept together. It’s disrespectful.” I kept my arms folded, my voice steady.
“Well, he’s not a random man. He’s asking for a DNA test because he thinks he’s the father of the children,” Lord Eldon replied, still speaking on behalf of Graham. Of course, Graham stayed silent, how could he speak now?
Even Elgin and Baxter looked shocked. Their friend stood there, acting like he had no voice, as if he really wanted the baby, too. I had never hated anyone, not even Baxter, as much as I hated Graham in that moment, and he could see it in my eyes.
“Well, I was never intimate with your son,” I hissed, my fists tightening under my arms. “Besides, this is extremely disrespectful to me, my marriage, and my husband p>
That was all I said before Eldon clicked his tongue.
“Then just do the DNA test and put all the rumors to rest. My son thinks the children are his p>
As he spoke, I turned fully toward Graham. “Well, I’d like to hear it from your son, then p>
As soon as I said it, Graham looked at me. Our eyes locked, and I knew he could see how furious I was.
“Graham, tell the council you want a DNA test,” Lord Eldon said, stepping aside and gesturing toward the council members, all of them staring at Graham’s face, waiting for him to speak.

With everyone’s attention on him, Graham stepped forward and cleared his throat.
“Actually, I’ve never been intimate with her, so I don’t know why you’re dragging me into this or asking for a DNA test,” he said.
His words shifted the entire mood in the room. Everything went still.
