383–I Know They Are Waiting For Me To Find Them
Madeline:
That night, as I went to sleep, I felt strangely full of energy. It felt as if I was waiting to wake up to good news. I knew it was not possible.
First, we had to summon the monster, and only then could we search. Still, I had a strong feeling that I was going to meet my husband and my daughter.
In fact, when I slept, I saw both of them in my dreams. They were smiling, looking happy, standing in a beautiful place that felt like heaven. They were calling me toward them.
When I woke up, I realized it was not an alarm clock that woke me, but my mother–in–law’s screams.
She was yelling at Yuvonne, asking why her hot tea had not arrived yet. I quickly took a shower, changed my clothes, and stepped outside.
Yuvonne looked after the children, so I was not worried. My children were still asleep. It was very early in the morning.
When I stepped out, I saw Baxter’s mother glare at me and then scoff. Yuvonne was standing nearby and looked miserable.
“My warrior will be here soon. He is bringing breakfast,” Yuvonne told Baxter’s mother.
Baxter’s mother should have thanked Yuvonne and Ron. After the way she had treated Yuvonne, Yuvonne had no responsibility to serve her anymore, yet she was still being kind.
“And you. You said that Alpha would find my son,” Lady Eugenia said suddenly, turning her attention to me.
“Yes. We will go today to look for him. I am certain we will find him. Both Baxter and my daughter,” I replied.
As soon as I said that, a smile spread across my face. For the first time, I felt hope. I hope that I will find them both. That hope made me truly happy.
“Oh really? Then where is your trusted alpha Byron?” Lady Eugenia asked in a mocking tone.
My breath caught and my heart missed a beat.
“What do you mean? He must be sleeping on the couch in your room,” I replied with a smile.
But beneath that smile was doubt. I was trying to reassure myself that everything was still fine.
“Is that so? Then let me tell you this. He was not in the room last night, and he was not there this morning either. In simple words, he fooled you and ran away. He wasted your time and ours as well,” Lady Eugenia said.
As soon as she started speaking, I rushed into the room. Just as she had said, Byron was nowhere to be found.
“No, this cannot be true. He said he would help me. In fact, he offered it himself, and he did not even ask for anything in return,” I started defending him.
Not because I trusted him, but because if he was gone, who would help me?

“You foolish girl. He wasted your time and left. Byron is known for this. He plays people easily and enjoys watching their pain,” Lady Eugenia shouted at me.
My hope shattered.
Yuvonne instantly came to my side and hugged me to comfort me.
“No, this cannot be true. Maybe he slept somewhere else. He promised me last night,” I said, pointing toward my chest.
“Oh, he only promised? Or did you give him something else?” she asked.
Her words struck my pride. I stood there with my mouth open, staring at her.
“Lady Eugenia, please think before you speak. She is already dealing with the loss of her husband and daughter,” Yuvonne said, standing up for me. 1
Lady Eugenia rolled her eyes and dismissed her.
“How would I know what you gave him? That is why he ran. His purpose was fulfilled, so he left. He is known for being a playboy,” Lady Eugenia said before walking back into her room.
I remained standing there, frozen.
“That is not true. He did not say anything like that to me. But why did he leave?” I asked Yuvonne as tears began to fall from my eyes.
While I was tearing up miserably, Ron’s car arrived, and I broke away from Yuvonne’s hug to tell him everything about Byron. But the way Ron stepped out of the car made me pause. He looked sad, almost pale. I was already worried.
“Ron, are you okay?” Yuvonne asked, reaching him and gently touching his elbow.
He shook his head and then looked at me.
“Byron was seen heading back to his pack,”
As soon as he said that, I realized Lady Eugenia had been right. He had played me.
I wanted to go to him and confront him, but I did not have the time. I was in such a miserable state that I needed someone else to help me find my husband and my daughter. Now I was completely stuck. There was no one left who could help me.
“Come on. Someone will help. We will find a way,” Yuvonne said, trying to encourage me. But sadly, we were back to zero.
