91\u2013He Came With Demands\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeline:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, you\u2019re not leaving,\u201d Elgin said as he rushed over and grabbed the bag out of my hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t understand, Graham\u2019s father is asking for a DNA test,\u201d I whispered, making sure Nina couldn\u2019t hear me. I\u2019d told her to stay in the room with the kids so they wouldn\u2019t overhear what was happening outside. But truthfully, I also didn\u2019t want her to know what was going on.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEverything will be taken care of, don\u2019t worry. He can\u2019t just come in and demand a DNA test,\u201d Elgin tried to reassure me, but I shook my head until my eyes landed on Baxter, who had been standing in the corner with his fists clenched.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou need to leave, Baxter. This is all because of you. You took me somewhere I didn\u2019t want to go. You made me believe that when I make decisions for myself, I\u2019m always right, and that when I let others manipulate me, that\u2019s when I get in trouble!\u201d I shouted at him, then covered my mouth and pressed a hand to my forehead. I was really freaking out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMadeline, there are warriors at the shore bank. They\u2019ve been warned about your situation. You might think it\u2019s not that bad, but it\u2019s serious. You\u2019re a human researcher, the great human lady our werewolf land wanted to meet. It\u2019s not a bad thing, trust me. They\u2019re not angry with you, and they\u2019re not going to hurt you. They\u2019re actually excited to have you here, it\u2019s like an achievement for them,\u201d Elgin tried to explain, but my eyes were still locked on Baxter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you have nothing to say for yourself?\u201d I yelled again, my voice trembling with anger.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry,\u201d Baxter uttered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I clenched my jaw.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe can tell them to just take a blood test from one of the kids, but not Elara. They\u2019ll never figure it out,\u201d Baxter suggested weakly, trying to find an excuse.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I glared at him even harder.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd you think they won\u2019t test the other kids for their father?\u201d I snapped.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cListen, whatever\u2019s happening between you two, and whatever he did, he\u2019ll be held accountable for it. Please, calm down. We\u2019ll make sure we handle this. You won\u2019t be in trouble,\u201d Elgin said, clearly unsure how he was actually going to fix the situation, but desperate to stop me from leaving.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t care. I\u2019m leaving,\u201d I stated stubbornly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That was when the door to the suite opened again. This time, it looked like hotel management had allowed someone in, and that meant it was serious. My body went into panic mode instantly, because that could only mean someone with authority had arrived.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I looked at Elgin and Baxter, who both stepped forward, standing protectively in front of me as people began to\u00a0<\/p>\n
enter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As I feared, Lord Eldon was back, this time with the other council members behind him for backup. He was the head of the council community, after all. But what truly shocked me was seeing his son beside him\u2013Graham.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s going on here? You can\u2019t just barge into someone\u2019s suite like that!\u201d Elgin snapped, glaring at the council members behind Lord Eldon.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe promised respect to this woman, and now you\u2019re just walking into her room like this?\u201d Baxter added, his tone sharp.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But the moment he spoke, everyone exchanged knowing smirks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, we heard about your fianc\u00e9e\u2019s interview,\u201d Lord Eldon said dryly. \u201cDoesn\u2019t seem like you\u2019re the one who should be lecturing us about respect.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His jab hit Baxter hard and rightfully so. For all his blaming and defending, he was the main reason any of this was happening.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt seems to me as if you were going somewhere,\u201d Lord Eldon commented with a smirk on his lips. Of course, he knew I was trying to run away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, we\u2019ve requested Alpha Ron to arrange a new place for her. Staying in a suite this long is kind of weird now, it\u2019s been weeks,\u201d Alpha Elgin said, clearing his throat and making up a lie.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lord Eldon gave him a brief glance before chuckling to himself. He was always like this, judging others or trying to figure out what they were doing with their lives.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnyway, what are you doing here?\u201d I asked Lord Eldon, folding my arms across my chest. I no longer cared how anyone felt about the way I spoke to their family members. None of their families deserved my respect.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, remember I had a conversation with you about this in the morning? You said I\u2019m just a random man, that I can\u2019t come here and demand a DNA test. So I brought my son. He wants to request the DNA test,\u201d Lord Eldon said, patting Graham\u2019s back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My eyes shifted to Graham. The moment our eyes met, he looked away. I couldn\u2019t believe how low he had sunk. In my head, I shouted at him, reminding him how he never wanted the babies to be his, and now here he was, standing beside a council, demanding a DNA test.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo what makes you think Graham isn\u2019t a random man?\u201d I said loud enough for him to hear. His eyes widened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry, but he used to be my friend. He\u2019s nothing to me now. He\u2019s married. I\u2019m married. I don\u2019t understand why you\u2019re suggesting we cheated or slept together. It\u2019s disrespectful.\u201d I kept my arms folded, my voice steady.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, he\u2019s not a random man. He\u2019s asking for a DNA test because he thinks he\u2019s the father of the children,\u201d Lord Eldon replied, still speaking on behalf of Graham. Of course, Graham stayed silent, how could he speak now?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even Elgin and Baxter looked shocked. Their friend stood there, acting like he had no voice, as if he really wanted the baby, too. I had never hated anyone, not even Baxter, as much as I hated Graham in that moment, and he could see it in my eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, I was never intimate with your son,\u201d I hissed, my fists tightening under my arms. \u201cBesides, this is extremely disrespectful to me, my marriage, and my husband.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
That was all I said before Eldon clicked his tongue.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen just do the DNA test and put all the rumors to rest. My son thinks the children are his.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As he spoke, I turned fully toward Graham. \u201cWell, I\u2019d like to hear it from your son, then.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As soon as I said it, Graham looked at me. Our eyes locked, and I knew he could see how furious I was.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGraham, tell the council you want a DNA test,\u201d Lord Eldon said, stepping aside and gesturing toward the council members, all of them staring at Graham\u2019s face, waiting for him to speak.\u00a0<\/p>\n

+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n
With everyone\u2019s attention on him, Graham stepped forward and cleared his throat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cActually, I\u2019ve never been intimate with her, so I don\u2019t know why you\u2019re dragging me into this or asking for a DNA test,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His words shifted the entire mood in the room. Everything went still.\u00a0<\/p>\n
