Madeline:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMommy, where did you go with Elara today?\u201d Gina asked, clinging to my legs as I sat tying the pendant around Bodhi\u2019s ankle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After the disaster with Elara, I had learned my lesson. But I also knew that seeing these pendants again on their necks would raise questions from Elgin. He would ask why I still needed them to wear these when it was already out in the open that he was their father.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So, I had to be clever. I decided to tie them around their ankles, and the excuse I planned to give him was that I didn\u2019t want anyone else to know they had active wolves in the future, because that would become a problem once I went back to my land.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMommy, she said she was with Uncle Elgin,\u201d Bodhi uttered, moving aside so Gina could sit and I could tie the pendant around her ankle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
These were light pendants, so I was sure they\u2019d be fine. I briefly thought about tying them inside their clothes and changing the spots every day, but for now, as a quick fix, I would just have them wear them around their ankles.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd you know uncle Elgin has two babies too,\u201d Elara said, swinging her little legs as she sat on the bed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s enough about Uncle Elgin. Remember, you kids have each other. Just focus on playing together,\u201d I told them, noticing how much they\u2019d been talking about the other kids.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My children rarely had other friends to play with. Even though they were social, people stayed away from them and made sure their children stayed away too. So whenever my kids saw others, they immediately wanted to spend time with them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, now listen. No matter what, you won\u2019t take these off your ankles, okay?\u201d I warned, looking at them one by one. They nodded quickly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I got up to grab them some fries. When I returned, I noticed they had taken my phone and that Elara had called someone from my phone. Not just anyone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Elgin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had put it on speaker so the others could hear too. I didn\u2019t understand why Elara was so fixated on Elgin. Was their connection really that strong?\u00a0<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t enter the room right away, I knew that would scare her. But I caught a bit of their conversation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCan I be friends with your kids?\u201d Elara asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The other two giggled, covering their mouths to hide their laughter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry, Elara. My kids don\u2019t really befriend others. You have your own siblings to play with. Also, did you tell your mother you were calling me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The way he dismissed her made the smiles vanish from my babies\u2018 faces. It broke me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, then I can be friends with you, right?\u201d Elara asked softly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I began walking into the room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cUm, I\u2019m sorry. I\u2019m always busy. I don\u2019t make friends either,\u201d he replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As soon as he said that, breaking my little girl\u2019s heart, I snatched the phone from her and turned off the speaker.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s no need. I\u2019m sorry she called you and bothered you. Had I known she was going to call, I wouldn\u2019t have left my phone unattended,\u201d I hissed, furious at the way he\u2019d spoken to my daughter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I was glad he didn\u2019t want to get involved, but deep down, it hurt. A father refusing to acknowledge his own child, while showering love on others, it was heartbreaking.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMadeline, I didn\u2019t know. I was just-\u201d 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now that Elgin realized I\u2019d heard him speak to our daughter like that, he tried to explain, but it didn\u2019t matter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I hung up the call in his face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once I cut the call, I faced my children, who looked guilty and ashamed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not angry with you, okay?\u201d I said as I knelt down, hugging them all at once. \u201cBut don\u2019t ever talk to anyone else. Is your mommy not enough for you?\u201d Tears formed in my eyes because I realized what my kids were lacking.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI will not talk to that man again,\u201d Elara said, sniffing her tears away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, good, as you shouldn\u2019t,\u201d I replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The rest of the day, I spent with them. Tomorrow, I was going to focus on finding the cure anyway. But at night, when I had tucked my kids in and sat in my chair next to the fireplace, I decided to write down some of the important things, mostly about the sickness.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, halfway through, I began to fall asleep on the chair. The sleep was so strong and sudden that I couldn\u2019t keep myself awake.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I woke up to my cell phone ringing beside me. I groaned, checking the screen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlpha Baxter,\u201d I read out loud, sitting straight in the seat confused. Why the heck was he calling me? Honestly, seeing his name brought back so many emotions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I sighed and picked up the call, wondering what could have bothered him so much that he decided to call me at this hour.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But from the start, he had other plans. He wanted to shock me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou call yourself a mother? Well, why don\u2019t you go and check your room, count your babies, and see if you\u2019re missing one?\u201d His tone was harsh and judgmental. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
Confusion struck me, and I ran upstairs, my phone clutched tightly in my hand. The moment I opened the bedroom door, I noticed Bodhi was missing from the bed.\u2018\u00a0<\/p>\n
I even checked the bathroom, but he wasn\u2019t there. With my hands shaking, I put the phone back to my ear, taking deep, heavy breaths.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow did you know?\u201d I asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And in the simplest words, he stopped my heart.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause he is here with me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
My body froze at that moment, and I went through all sorts of emotions. I tried to gather my thoughts before I spoke in a broken voice, \u201cWhat the fuck do you mean by that? How is my baby with you?\u201d I asked, ready to call my nanny so she could stay here while I went to get my baby from him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
