Chapter 512

Kaylee:

“You want me to bring someone else’s child here and let him become the Alpha of the pack one day?” Graham almost yelled.

I felt so embarrassed that I could not lift my eyes for a few seconds. Then I thought maybe he did not understand the rest of my plan. So I began explaining what my father had suggested about adopting a child and challenging the child’s pack, so Graham could rule it until the boy turned eighteen and reclaimed his parents’ territory.

“Wait. I do not like this idea,” Lord Eldon interrupted before Graham could respond.

I wanted to ask who had asked for his opinion, but I kept silent.

“What do you think, Graham?” I asked instead, making it clear that Lord Eldon’s opinion was neither needed nor welcome.

Graham stared at me as if he were judging me.

“Why do you think it is not a good idea?” he asked, turning to his father first.

It felt like a slap. As if I had already been dismissed.

“That is because if you want to adopt a child, you should do it because you truly want one, not because you want his pack.” his father paused to grunt.

“And you cannot just go around challenging someone for their pack. The other Alphas will unite against you and start a war to bring you down. They will see you as a greedy Alpha who is trying to seize control by igniting unnecessary battles” Lord Eldon stated firmly.

Suddenly, he wanted to act like a man full of morals.

“Exactly,” Graham agreed.

My jaw nearly hit the floor. I had thought Graham would think logically. I had thought he wanted a pack.

Penny sat there, giving me sad eyes, as if she felt sorry for me for being dragged into this conversation.

“Then what are we going to do?” I snapped, turning to Lord Eldon instead of Graham.

“What do you suggest?”

I realized then that he was just as much of a problem as his son.

“First of all, do not raise your voice at me,” Lord Eldon hissed.

Before he could continue, I scoffed and shook my head mockingly.

“I know why you do not want us to adopt a child,” I said, folding my arms across my chest.

At that point, I had nothing left to lose. I might as well fight with whatever strength I had.

“Really? And what do you think that is?” Lord Eldon questioned, narrowing his eyes.

“Because your wife is already pregnant, and you believe that if Graham does not have children, your child will become the next Alpha of the pack,” I shot back.

The moment I said that, Lord Eldon’s jaw clenched. Penny looked offended.

“Are you listening to this absurdity?” Lord Eldon shouted, urging his son to silence

me.

There it was. Their true faces.

It proved how little they cared about me. Those sympathetic looks and forced kindness had only been a show. The closer they stayed to me, the more they could watch me suffer, and they enjoyed it.

“I am. And why are you asking me about her behavior?” Graham said coldly.

“Did you not know she was arrogant? Did you not know she was full of herself?” Each word struck directly at my pride. Tears blurred my vision as he continued.

“You were the one who said she was a better choice than Madeline.”

My jaw clenched at that.

Oh. So this is what was happening. They were playing twisted games for their own benefit, trying to prove that Madeline was the right choice all along.

I could not control my anger anymore.

“You are all manipulating this for your own purposes,” I yelled. “You are trying so hard to prove that Madeline is the right choice.”

“Kaylee, please, control yourself,” Penny whispered.

“Oh, shut the fuck up, you little slut,” I snapped.

Everyone gasped.

Lord Eldon looked as if he might suffer a stroke. And I would have been glad to see

it.

Every time I spoke, he glanced at Graham as if to say, look at what your wife is doing.

And Graham only shrugged.

“Oh please, stop with the emotional blackmailing,”

I snapped at them again.

“Isn’t she the reason Graham’s mother died?” I shot back.

I was not holding back anymore. Anger had hit me hard when Lord Eldon destroyed

my plan of finally having a child and securing my place as Graham’s Luna.

I knew he did it because he did not

want any child to come and claim the pack With my children out of the way his would become the next

Alphas of the packs under Graham’s rule.

“Why would anyone respect her?” I screamed.

Penny covered her face with her hands as if she were ashamed, while Lord Eldon glared at me with clenched fists.

“I did not realize your voice could be this loud,” Lord Eldon said, playing the victim.

I scoffed at him.

“Oh, please. Was there not someone

who was extremely kind to you?

Remember Madeline? And

remember how you treated her

fired back, glaring at them one by

one.

“So do not act like I am the villain here. When you had the power, you controlled someone too.”

I lashed out because I hated the way he pretended to be innocent.

He pointed at his son again, who, strangely enough, had started eating his food. He

looked far calmer than I had expected.

“I am done with my meal,” Graham announced.

All eyes turned to him. His father looked hurt because he had not stopped me. Penny’s eyes were filled with tears, that fake woman who should never have been blessed with pregnancy.

“As for heirs, why are you forgetting that—–” Graham said coldly.

“I am not the one who lost the ability to ever have a child. She did.”

His voice was soft, but his words were a nightmare.

“So do not worry, Father. I will have children, just not with this mate.”

Graham stood and walked away, leaving my mouth hanging open.

“Good job. Now you have lost our support too, Kaylee,” Lord Eldon snapped, slamming his hand against the table.

Then he took Penny’s hand and led her away, reminding me that I was completely

alone.
