443–Everyone Is Blind To Her Ways 

Kaylee: 

“Madeline, please wait.” 

Lord William, who was always taking her side, called out and asked her to stop as well. She had walked a few steps away when she stopped and turned to see what was happening. 

“We need to resolve this matter. The children are dying, and we cannot let all this happen because of some petty drama,” Lord William hissed, looking at me with a much sterner expression than the one he gave Madeline. His face softened when he looked at her. 

At that point, I began to wonder if she was giving him some kind of favor. I would not be surprised if I later found out that they had been sharing a bed. Why else would he be giving her so much importance? 

“I think it is okay. Luna Kaylee should just go back home. We will all apologize to Madeline and make her stay, Lady Abigail said again, giving me hope that I could leave without anyone trying to force me to apologize to the most ridiculous woman in the world. 2 

I sighed, waiting for them to give me a gesture to leave. 

“Why would we apologize? Why can’t Luna Kaylee apologize? When is she going to be held responsible for her actions?” an old woman from the crowd asked. 1

If there were not so many people around, I would have shown them what power a Luna holds. But they were lucky to be standing in a crowd. 

“If anything, she should apologize to me because she hit a pregnant woman. What if I had fallen? What if I had hurt myself?” I spoke gently this time, trying not to sound as bratty as before. 

“You know what? I really hope you all find the cure. I’ll take my leave now,” Madeline cut in, making it very clear that she was more cunning than I had thought. 1 

I knew she wanted to help these children. She was just pushing this narrative because she had heard someone say that I should apologize to her. 

“No, please, please. Our children are dying. Please help us. Would you help us if Luna Kaylee sat at your feet and apologized as she bowed down to you?” 

One of the old men suggested something so heinous that the crowd started to nod, but the council leaders looked shocked. That was because of how ridiculous it was. 

“No, no, that will be too much,” Lady Abigail muttered, making a hand gesture toward the old man. 1 

“I mean, so much has happened that I don’t think a simple apology is going to be enough.” Madeline spoke softly, causing my head to snap at her. 

Then Madeline dragged poor Lady Abigail into it with me. We shared a shocked glance while Madeline put on a very sad expression. She was doing it on purpose. I was sure of it, but sadly, others could not see it. 

“Well then, the two of you can apologize to her. That will make things right and Madeline will stay to help us,” one of the women pleaded with Madeline. 

Madeline turned toward me and shrugged, not even having the decency to say that she did not want a Luna to bow in front of her. She was already waiting for it.

The fact that she did not refuse Lady Abigail’s apology proved what kind of person she was. Otherwise, who would want an old woman at her feet? 

“Wait, why am I getting dragged into this? I haven’t done anything.” Lady Abigail raised her hands quickly, and I did not blame her. This was getting ridiculous. Everyone was treating Madeline as if she were something sacred. 

“But I would really like an apology from the two women here who have always belittled me and thought they could mistreat me without any consequences,” Madeline continued in a sneaky, soft tone. 

Her arms were folded across her chest, and a fake pout rested on her lips. She was enjoying this. 

I felt like the world was closing in on me. 

“Yes, please, please apologize to her. We beg you,” a woman holding her child rushed out of the crowd and pleaded with Lady Abigail, who looked at her with disgust before turning toward the alphas and the other leaders. “Please help our children. You cannot do this to us. You cannot refuse to bow after making mistakes and insulting her character. She has always forgiven us and come out to help us. She has always bowed to our requests, but you cannot bow to hers now.” 

The crowd began to yell and scream. 

“And if you do not stop her from leaving today, every single pack member will stop cooperating. We will all go rogue,” another man shouted.

“Yes, we want an apology from Luna Kaylee, and we want it right now,” a woman said as she looked me straight in the eye and made the demand to the council. 

Goosebumps rose on my skin when I noticed the look on Lord Eldon’s face. He looked at me with disappointment, like someone who had already decided they would no longer support me. 2
