477–They Fight Like Crazy

Madeline:

“I just want you to know that when you wake up after one month, you will find your Madeline confident,” I spoke softly, sitting beside his bed and watching only his face. “She will not be the miserable woman you remember from the last time you were awake p>

My children had set up a small table beside Baxter’s bed. Their drawing books were spread out in front of them.

Lord Jonah decided it would be better if the children and I spent time with Baxter first, without his mother present. It was obvious she would make things difficult, and the children would leave upset.

I agreed it was the right decision.

“Mommy, is Daddy one hundred percent going to wake up?” Bodhi asked, bobbing his head as he admired his drawing.

I gave him a firm nod, smiling but saying nothing else.

“That will be so good,” he continued. “And we’re staying in the pack, right? I don’t want to go back to that mountain top. It was bad p>

Elara nodded in agreement.

“You hear them?” I joked, holding Baxter’s hand. “They are very demanding p>

His hands were still strong. Still large.

“Baxter, you can rest as much as you need for now,” I continued. “But after one month, you are not allowed to sleep like this again p>

It felt unreal, speaking to someone I once feared I would never speak to again.

There was a time I had wished never to see Baxter after I left the human world. Now I was begging him to wake

“Okay, kids, gather your things,” I said gently. “Grandma and Grandpa will come in now to spend time with him. Then they will begin the treatment p>

They gave me pouty looks, the ones they used whenever they wanted something.

“Please, we don’t have time. You want Daddy to wake up soon, right?” I asked, walking over and collecting their supplies.

“Yes, but we won’t see him for a whole month,” Elara complained. “That’s a long time p>

I smiled, wishing Baxter could hear them and know how deeply he was loved.

“After one month, your father will wake up,” I told them. “Isn’t that what we want p>

They nodded.

“Daddy, wake up soon, okay?” Elara whispered, stepping closer to kiss his cheek.

Bodhi followed and kissed him as well.

I helped them put on their bags and guided them out. Then I returned to the bed.

I leaned down and pressed my lips gently to Baxter’s cheek. After a brief pause, I kissed him softly on the lips.

If he were awake, he would have pulled me back into his arms. I would have laughed and pushed against him playfully.

I never wanted to be out of his arms again. I never wanted him out of my sight.

After I stepped out, Lady Eugenia and Lord Jonah entered the room. They stayed with him for a few minutes before it was time to prepare him for the procedure.

“We will place him in the coffin soon,” the doctor informed me in the hallway. “He will be connected to the medicine first. Then we will prepare his body. You will be present when it happens p>

Lady Eugenia walked ahead of us. I saw her body tense each time the doctor mentioned the coffin.

I would be lying if I said I did not flinch at the word myself.

Once everything was arranged, Lord Jonah took the children home. I still had to visit Elgin’s pack.

At first, I had thought about taking the day off. Then I remembered it was Elgin.

I did not want to cross him. I also did not want to take my children there this time.

So I traveled alone in a cab.

By the time I stepped out of the cab and paid the driver, I could already hear shouting from inside the mansion.

My steps were slow and careful as I approached the door. The guard must have been informed of my arrival, because he opened it without hesitation.

It almost felt as if he were letting me walk straight into whatever chaos was unfolding inside.

The moment I entered, I saw Silver gripping Elgin’s collar and shaking him.

“So a whore is going to call me a whore?” she screamed in his face, her voice rough with fury.

“I did nothing of that sort. You were the one caught shamelessly naked. Do you have no shame? Did you forget you are the mother of two little girls?” he yelled back this time, jabbing a finger at her chest. “You used to say my daughters were ashamed of me. Look at yourself now p>

Elgin grabbed her wrist and forced her hand away from him.

“I did none of that,” she shouted back, shoving him a step backward.

She lunged forward again and pointed her finger at him.

“Don’t treat me like one of your omegas,” she snapped. “I am an alpha’s daughter. I am an alpha. I will ruin you, Elgin..” She was screaming as loud as she could.

“If you don’t let me take my daughters, I will destroy your life,” she warned. “I am not leaving without them p>

I cleared my throat. I could not stand there and watch them tear into each other like animals.

The sound drew their attention. Both of them snapped their heads toward me.

“Are the patients here?” I asked Elgin, feeling awkward.

His face began to turn red. Silver looked stricken, as if she were standing exposed rather than clothed.

I had never seen that much guilt and shame in their eyes before.
