Baxter:

The monster took my daughter awa

right in front of me. I watched Madeline break in front of me. I had to carry her back to the cabin after she passed out. She had cried so much in those few minutes that I could still hear her cries in my head.

When I arrived back, I saw my children hiding behind the big couch, hugging each other. As soon as I placed Madeline on the couch, the kids jumped up to check on their mother.

“Daddy, where is Gina?” Bodhi asked me, his with tears as he held my hand and looked up at me.

yes!

It was as if he was waiting for an answer from a man he believed would protect them. At that moment, I had no answer for them.

I gently patted his cheek and stepped over to close the cabin door. Now the home felt like a curse.

I rushed toward my parents‘ bedroom door and started knocking on it forcefully. I knew they were not asleep yet.

My father opened the door slowly, looking like he had been getting ready for bed.

“Did you two not hear all the commotion outside?” I shouted. I knew I was taking my anger out on the wrong people.

“Wait, what is going on?” my father asked as he pulled his headphones out. I realized then that the two of them had been watching a movie together.

I placed my hands on the doorframe, taking deep, heavy breaths.

“That thing took my daughter away,” I told them, pointing outside.

A frown spread across my father’s face while my mother climbed out of bed, watching me with confusion.

“What are you talking about?” she asked.

She glanced over my shoulder at Madeline. “Is she throwing a tantrum because Yuvonne got to be a luna of a pack now p>

My mother’s words hung in the air. Before she could say anything else, I punched the doorframe, and everyone’s attention snapped back to me.

“Have you lost your mind?” my father yelled.

“Did you not hear what I said?” I shouted back. “That monster came, and it took her p>

I was about to explain again when my eyes landed on Elara and Bodhi. They stood there, pressed together, watching silently.

“Why do you have so much blood on you?” my mother asked. “And what monster p>

She finally snapped out of it and rushed over once she noticed the scratches and injuries covering my body.

“ I just told you,” I cried. “it took my daughter away p>

“Wait, Baxter, calm down. What monster?” my father asked me. As he studied my eyes for a moment longer, he realized what I was talking about.

But it was my children who spoke up.

“The monster with the wings. The bad bird. He came and took her,” Bodhi cried out, while Elara buried her face in her hands.

“Come here, kids. We will find her, okay?” my father told them as he quickly reached for the children and pulled them into a hug.

I stood beside the couch, feeling defeated, when my mother turned on me.

“A monster fucking came here, and what the fuck were you doing?” she screamed, slapping my chest.

“What if it had gotten inside?” she continued, placing a hand against her chest as she complained. Of course, to her, her own safety meant everything.

“What are you doing, Eugenia?” my father finally spoke up against my mother.

It was the first time I had ever heard him raise his voice at her, and I could tell she did not like it. She stared at him in disbelief.

“Don’t you think it is strange that an alpha was right outside, and a monster came, attacked him and his wife, and also took his daughter?” my mother screamed, running her hands through her hair. “What would have stopped the monster from attacking us p>

“That would not happen. The monster does not come inside the house,” I told her.

I said the truth instantly to comfort her, even though her words stayed in my mind. She was not wrong.

I had been right there. If I had my alpha strength, I would have tackled it, at least long enough for my wife and child to get inside the cabin. I felt like a loser.

“Oh, sorry. I forgot you cannot even do anything. Why? Because you fucking let the crown be snatched away from you. So tell me again, Baxter, how is the rogue life, huh? How does it feel to be a fallen alpha? Did you protect the children you left the crown for?” my mother screamed, going on and on. (1

I stood in front of her. I knew I had to go to my kids. I knew I had to wake up my wife, but I could not move.

I felt like if I did, I would be seen. And for the first time, I wanted to disappear.
