Chapter 226

226 – My Ex Returns

Silver:

When Yuvonne appeared out of nowhere to confront us, I began to lose my patience with her.

But I kept my calm posture toward her. I knew she was suffering.

The poor woman had fallen into her own trap.

I wanted to laugh in her face and remind her that a mere omega like her could not possibly come up with a good plan.

What did she think she was, comparing herself to me?

My plans would never miss. However, I kept myself composed.

She kept trying to ask us to meet her, but there was no reason to meet her anymore.

We already got rid of Madeline, so why would we waste our energy on her?

Besides, I was sure even Kaylee would agree that we had realized messing with Madeline could get some dirt on us next time.

So we were going to stay away from her. She was out of our husbands‘ lives, not our problem anymore.

Once Yuvonne’s mother appeared and dragged her away, I turned to look at Kaylee.

“This is why I don’t hang around with people like them. Did you see the look her mother gave us?” I told Kaylee, who had her arms folded over her chest, glaring at Yuvonne and her mother as they wandered off.

“Disgusting people,” Kaylee remarked.

“Let’s go and sit with our husbands. It seems like they are mourning,” I commented, watching Graham and Elgin sit silently.

They could barely eat, but they were only putting on a show. I could tell.

They wanted to believe that they had made the right choice, and I was sure they did.

I mean, why would Graham and Elgin want to go stay in the woods and take care of a woman they had already slept with?

What reason would any alpha have to leave his crown for someone like Madeline and three little burdens?

Kaylee and I both wandered over to our husbands and sat beside them.

“You see, this is what happens when you lack intelligence,” I commented, directing my words at Elgin and Graham.

The two lifted their heads from their plates to stare at me.

“What? I’m not saying anything wrong. I’m the one who is giving my mate not only the love of a family but also an extra pack,” I remarked.

The minute I said it, I watched Graham frown and turn toward Elgin.

“ What is she talking about?” Graham asked him.

Elgin straightened his posture, looking almost proud to share the news with his best friend.

“Oh yeah, I’m taking over Silver’s father’s pack under mine,” he replied.

The moment he confirmed it, Graham swallowed.

He paused for a second, and there was a hint of jealousy in the way he looked at Elgin before he forced himself to shake it off.

“ Oh, congratulations. That is a big move,” Graham replied, but his tone sounded dry.

The pride on Elgin’s face when Graham congratulated him told me he understood that marrying me was the biggest move he had made.

I even glanced at Kaylee and wondered how she must feel to be born from a royal beta instead of an alpha.

Well, why did I care? Among these three friends, Elgin was the lucky one.

The dinner ended and I heard that Baxter and Madeline had left with the children earlier.

Thankfully, neither Elgin nor Graham tried to ask for Madeline, although they did express some worry for Baxter.

Once we reached home, I tucked my daughters into bed and returned to the bedroom with Elgin.

Finally, our relationship had shifted into something more proper and intimate.

I climbed on top of him and rested my head on his chest. As his breathing slowed, I asked him,

“What are you thinking about p>

“Baxter is so stupid,” he uttered, making me smile.

“Why so?” I questioned, even though I already knew.

“Why would he leave everything behind?” he replied, staring at the ceiling.

“Don’t worry. Very soon he will realize what he has done. He just wanted to come off as a hero. He had been known as a big bulky man and never achieved anything in his life. You have children, Graham has a wife and a child on the way. Baxter was going in no direction, marrying an omega. I guess he needed to prove himself, so don’t worry, he will come around,” I stated as I gently patted Elgin’s chest.

Then I rolled off him and lay down to sleep.

At midnight, my cell phone started beeping and the alert looked urgent, so I reached for it.

With my eyes still half closed, I checked the screen. The text did not please me at all.

Dad: Silver, did you tell Elgin that he will have to demote his own royal beta and hire my royal beta’s son, Mathew?

The name Mathew and the demand from my father would upset Elgin.

My father was now trying to take control over Elgin’s pack matters after handing him a pack.

And this would cause trouble for me as well, because Elgin did not know that Mathew was my ex–boyfriend.

Hiring him and keeping him close would make Elgin uncomfortable.
