Chapter 806

Baxter:

After that night, Madeline had grown more distant from me.

She had moved in with the children and was sleeping in their room.

I could tell that she was really happy to have Gina and me back.

But of course, my memory had become a huge issue, and not telling her about my wolf had really upset her too.

My wolf, on the other hand, was very happy knowing that there were issues between us.

“Did you send them the letter?” she asked dryly as she worked on the files.

We had been sitting in the office for about two hours, and she had not lifted her head from her desk or computer, while I had not looked away from her once.

“I did,” I replied.

“I want you to plan a quick meeting with them,” she instructed.

She wasn’t exactly suggesting it but demanding it, and well, I didn’t mind her being a little sassy.

I liked the way she was controlling me.

“Whenever you say, I’ll do it,” I assured her, watching as she finally looked up at me.

“The kids’ schools are starting soon,” I continued, watching her face start to turn red. “I want them to continue living their lives now. Enough is enough. They’ve suffered enough.”

My fists clenched every time I thought about Elgin and Graham hurting my daughters.

Those evil men had crushed their little hearts, and I would never tolerate that.

Every time I watched my daughters’ smiles fade, I got scared, thinking maybe they had remembered the harsh words of those men.

The thought never let me be at peace.

“I was thinking if—if Bodhi gets here soon, we will-” she trailed off, not finishing the

sentence.

“That would be amazing. But I’m not gonna let my daughters suffer because one of my children is not with us. I want them to continue living their lives because, at the end of the day, I have to fix everything that is broken in them too,” I stated with confidence and determination.

I understood that my heart was crying for Bodhi, but at the same time, my daughters needed me just as much.

I was not gonna keep them in the house, thinking that I would settle their lives once everything was in our favor.

No. Everything would be in our favor once my children’s lives were settled.

Madeline nodded, looking down as she sniffled and continued working on her computer.

There was a knock on the door, and Madeline answered it.

The person who walked in immediately made me roll my eyes.

It was as if I could not catch a break.

Nina appeared with a file in her hands.

She had the keys, and wherever she had her father was where the keys and everything else were.

We had tried to track her activity, but she wasn’t even contacting her father anymore.

She was such a clever bitch.

I noticed Madeline tapping her fingers on the table and tilting her head as she looked up at me.

I didn’t know what to do. I had told her I only let Nina stay because of the keys and the stamp.

Other than that, why the fuck would I care about her?

But every time Nina came into view, Madeline would look at me as if she were silently complaining. I didn’t even know why.

I didn’t even know Nina. She was just some random person from a random land.

“People are really happy with the work you are doing, President Baxter,” Nina remarked in a very soft, gentle tone.

Nothing that could impress me. Honestly, she sounded a little too high-pitched for my liking, but I didn’t say that.

I immediately looked at Madeline.

“Okay, that’s good. Nina, we are

preparing a meet-up between the humans and the werewolves,

explained as I focused on my desktop.

There was nothing important on it. I had actually been playing a game earlier, and it

was still on the screen.

But I was acting like whatever was

there was so important that I

couldn’t look at Nina because, in the distance, my beautiful wife

watching me with her hawk eyes.

“Um, sure. What would you like me to prepare?” Nina questioned.

I bet she knew Madeline was there.

She wanted me to make one tiny mistake that would make Madeline uncomfortable.

Well, guess what? I wasn’t Sawyer.

“Yeah, you will need to—” I began as I finally looked up and gave her a smile. “Stay out of it.”

The minute I said that, I watched Nina’s smile fade.

She immediately turned to look at Madeline, who scoffed and lowered her eyes to her computer.

There was a silent war going on between the two, and honestly, I didn’t know why I was in the middle of it.

Nina had nothing to do with me, and I had nothing to do with her.

There was no way I would ever be the trophy in a war between them.

I would like to remain on Madeline’s shelf forever.

But I knew sooner or later we would have the conversation about the woman Madeline brought from the werewolf world who was now chained in our basement Contents
