204 – An Alpha Who Is Not My Mate

Madeline:

“Why? Is that a problem? If you are busy, it’s okay,” I said, hoping he was not busy.

“Yeah, I’m kind of with Kaylee.” He paused, realizing he might need to explain, even though he did not have to, but because I was unwell, I guessed he felt the need. “The thing is, Kaylee was sick, so I took her to the hospital. I will speak with you later, okay?” he said.

For a second, I could not understand what he had just told me to do. I told him I was extremely sick, and his response was that he would call me later. He did not offer help at all.

“Okay,” I uttered in confusion.

“You can call someone else. You must have a friend or someone,” he added. And I began to wonder what had just happened.

“Anyway, good night,” he said, hanging up. I stared into the distance, completely taken off guard by his response.

“Mommy, is Uncle Graham coming over?” Gina asked, worried.

“No, he’s busy. His other wife is sick too,” I said. Of course I understood he had to be with her if she was sick.

“Why don’t you call Alpha Ron?” Bodhi suggested it suddenly, and I realized maybe I should. But at this point, I was concerned. What if he acted the same way? I did not want to be rejected again when I only needed a bit of help.

Then Elara grabbed my phone, called Alpha Ron, and put it on speaker.

“Hello, Madeline? I did not expect you to call me at this hour,” Ron answered, sounding sleepy, but at least he picked up.

“I’m not Madeline, I’m her daughter,” Gina said, rushing to stand near Bodhi, with Elara beside her.

“Oh, are you children using your mother’s phone? Where is your mother? Is she okay?” he asked. There was a hint of a laughter, as if he found their voices sweet, but worry soon entered his tone.

“Our mommy is very sick, and there is no one to help her,” Gina uttered.

“What?” Ron said. “Uh, you kids stay with your mommy, okay? I’ll be there in a minute p>

As soon as he said that, I was stunned. He, the man who was not even my mate, was so eager to come help me.

Within a few minutes, Ron had already entered my house. Sleep was still in his eyes, and his hair. was a mess. He ran a hand through it as he approached me. He was in shorts and a black shirt.

“Hey, are you okay?” he asked, even though I was staring at him. He could still tell I was not okay. My body was slumping to the side on the couch.

“Is Mommy okay?” Elara’s voice cracked, pulling his attention. He turned to her and then looked back at me.

“Yeah, she’ll be fine. I’m pretty sure it’s nothing,” he told her, though I could already sense his worry.

He sat beside me on the sofa and held my wrist to check my pulse.

“That is odd,” he uttered. “It seems like your wolf wants to transition p>

As soon as he said that, my heart skipped a beat. I did not want to transition here. But he said my wolf wanted to

transition, so why was she not transitioning?

“Did you eat something? Did you do something?” Ron asked, leaning down and gently cupping my cheek. His hands were warm, instantly filling me with comfort.

“I was outside, and the bad uncle Elgin was telling my mom that he rejected her and things like that,” Elara recalled in her small voice. I noticed the way Ron closed his eyes and nodded, as if he understood everything

“Okay, kids, I want you to go back to your room, okay? I’ll take care of your mommy, and then I’ll be the one to tuck you in tonight. What do you say?” Ron asked Bodhi and the others.

Thankfully, my children were understanding. They nodded and walked away.

That was when Ron turned back to me.

“The pain of rejection should not be this harsh. I do not understand, but there is a way to help you,” he stated, grabbing his phone to call his warrior. “Bring me just a pinch of wolfsbane, please,” he said before hanging up.

“Do not worry. The wolfsbane will not affect you too much. It will just calm your wolf. Think of it as a small drug for her,” he remarked with a soft laugh. When I did not react, I noticed the sadness in his expression.

“You will be fine, okay?” he whispered. Then he leaned down and adjusted my body in his arms. “I’ll take you to your room so you can lie down. And after I give you the wolfsbane, I’ll go tuck the children in,” Ron whispered as he held me close and carried me into my bedroom. 1
