330–Plan Backfired
Madeline:
“What are you looking at? Snatch the phone out of her,” Graham yelled at his warrior, who instantly started to step toward Yuvonne. But the minute she lit up the screen for him, he stepped back.
“You dare!” Yuvonne uttered.
She was breathing heavily. She was in her nightgown, but her hair was disheveled. It seemed like she had a panic attack just before coming outside.
“If you don’t want anyone to know what scumbags you all are, step away from my sister,” she screamed, tears running down her eyes.
She looked hysterical at the moment. However, it was the words she said next that changed everything
“You see, Lord William, this is what your alphas are doing to women.” 1
The minute she said that, both Elgin and Graham stepped back.
Then I realized the man on the screen was Lord William, one of the council leaders. She had woken him from his sleep.
“What the heck is going on over there?” Lord William shouted as loudly as he could.
Since his sleep had been disturbed at his age, his anger seemed doubled.
“Lord William, my father has spoken to Lady Abigail and the other alphas, and it was decided that we would come here to interrogate Madeline,” Elgin replied, stepping away from me to make it seem like they were not doing anything. 1
“Really?” Lord William demanded. “Then why didn’t you explain what kind of interrogation you were going to do? And why is her robe on the ground, and why were you two standing so close to her? You saw it, Lord William. Don’t lie,” Yuvonne screamed, panic rising in her voice. 1
She continued yelling, clearly distressed, and I felt bad for her. It seemed like her past trauma had rushed back.
“Give me the phone. I’ll speak to Lord William,” Elgin insisted, rushing toward her.
She screamed again, which made him stop.
“You stand back, Alpha Elgin,” Lord William ordered through the call. “I have informed the alphas of the nearest packs. They will be coming there with their warriors. Until then, she remains on the video call with me. As for you two, I am disappointed and disgusted. There will be a full investigation into your actions tonight. And step away from Baxter.” 2
Lord William spoke all of this in one breath.
The warriors stepped away from Baxter, but Baxter did not rise. He stayed on his knees, his fists clenched against the ground.
“Wear your robe, sister,” Yuvonne murmured softly. I noticed her body starting to sway.

I grabbed my robe, but then I saw her falling. I rushed toward her and supported her weight.
“No, I’m fine,” she muttered. “Just take this and make sure Lord William stays on the video call.” She whispered as she handed me the phone.
She sat down, taking deep, heavy breaths, while I hurried toward Baxter.
But the moment I got close to him, I did not know how to console him. I dropped to my knees in front of him.
There was silence around us for a few seconds, but I could sense the energy had shifted. Alpha Graham and Alpha Elgin looked anxious.
“We were not doing anything,” It seemed like Graham had called his own father on his phone.
The biggest issue for them should have been that none of us thought we could receive such strong signals at the top of the mountain.
Then my eyes shifted toward the cabin, and I felt like that was the reason. Someone must have lived there. “Well, I don’t know what he’s talking about. Of course, they are setting us up for a disaster. We just came here to talk, and they started to attack us. Do you not even want us to defend ourselves?” Graham complained to his father on the phone, pacing anxiously while waiting for the arrival of the warriors Lord William had informed him about.
They were not supposed to leave until the warriors arrived, and they were also not supposed to end the call with Lord William until the warriors reached them.
“I’m sorry,” Baxter whispered, pulling my attention back to him.
“Why are you apologizing?” I asked, gently touching his cheek.
“I couldn’t protect you,” he murmured, not lifting his face, even when I tried to guide it up. 1
I moved closer and hugged him, resting his head against my chest while he kept looking down.
I ran one hand through his hair while my other hand rested on his shoulder, gently squeezing his skin to offer comfort.
As I did so, I turned slightly and saw Elgin and Graham staring at me.
Graham still had his phone pressed to his ear, but he was no longer speaking.
He was glaring at me directly. Elgin stood beside him, a frown on his face, as if he could not believe what he was seeing. 1
Finally, the warriors began to arrive. It felt like the night was coming to an end.
