97\u2013My Husband Steals Attention\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeline:\u00a0<\/p>\n
I had asked for a few minutes to speak with Sawyer first, and now we were in the living room of the mansion.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The kids were on the rooftop playing with Nina, and I was glad they had gone away after what they had told me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was going to be awkward watching them look at their stepfather again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy do I feel like you\u2019re not happy to see me?\u201d he complained, his hands in his pockets, looking casually relaxed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This is Sawyer for you. He was always like this. Nothing worried him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had too much money to care about small issues. That was what he always told me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s not the case. I\u2019m actually surprised, but I\u2019m really happy to see you,\u201d I said, forcing a delicate smile onto my lips, the kind I knew he liked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI was concerned about how you\u2019d react to the news of\u2026\u201d I paused, unable to finish my words.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This was going to be a huge issue in our relationship.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAbout the fact that you have a wolf?\u201d he asked, pouting and clicking his tongue.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He nodded slightly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had a sleek jawline and smooth skin. His eyes slanted down in the front and up at the back, like an eagle\u2019s. Tattoos adorned both his hands, and he wore a big snake ring on his ring finger instead of a wedding ring. A chain with our wedding ring hung around his neck.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know about it?\u201d I asked in confusion.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah. I got information from one of the guards in the past few days about what was happening here. That\u2019s why I put all my work aside and came here to be with my wife.\u201d His tone shifted, showing concern as he came closer and gently held my hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His touch sent goosebumps across my skin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There was so much happening around me, mat\u00e9s demanding acceptance, second chances, names next to their children\u2019s names, the fact that I couldn\u2019t leave werewolf territory, my stepsister causing trouble, Lord Eldon demanding a DNA test, and now Sawyer was here.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Any slip could become a huge blow to our relationship.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy sweet Madeline, this is not how I sent you here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As soon as he said that, I snapped back to reality, watching his face with a little fear in mine.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t look confident, and it seems like you\u2019ve lost weight. Are they not feeding you well?\u201d he asked, gently caressing my cheek with his thumb.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I held his hand and rubbed my cheek against his palm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCome here,\u201d he said, wrapping his arms around me and pulling me into a tight embrace.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m here now. Don\u2019t worry. Everything will be fine,\u201d he whispered, his voice full of love.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I briefly closed my eyes to listen to his heartbeat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe council is waiting for you guys.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Another yet familiar voice snapped me out of my thoughts, breaking our intimate moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was Elgin, standing at the main gate, watching us with a bleak expression.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His eyes shifted from me to where Sawyer\u2019s hands were holding me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Elgin was clearly noticing our intimate moment, even following our hands with his gaze.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, hello. Sorry! I occupied your researcher for a while,\u201d Sawyer tried to respond in his deep, husky tone. I broke the hug and fixed my hair.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHi, I\u2019m Sawyer. You must be\u2026?\u201d Sawyer asked, squinting one eye.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before Elgin could reply, Sawyer wrapped his arm around me and pulled me closer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I noticed how Elgin had to press his lips together and swallow hard before speaking again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m Elgin. Alpha Elgin,\u201d he introduced himself and stepped back. \u201cI hope you two had a good moment together. The counsel is still waiting,\u201d he reminded us.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The way he looked at me held unspoken complaints.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, of course. We\u2019ll deal with the council first. Honey, let\u2019s go before we lose ourselves like we always do. Remember how we always forget about time and the world around us when we\u2019re together,\u201d Sawyer said, reaching out to tilt my chin gently and caress my cheek with two fingers, right in front of Elgin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, that\u2019s true.\u201d I shyly lowered his hand while still holding it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I wasn\u2019t very open to showing affection in front of others.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Elgin turned around and walked off. Then came Sawyer and me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
We reentered the garden, and once again, all eyes turned toward us.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Graham kept his head down after briefly glancing our way. His fists were clenched on his thighs, and his leg trembled constantly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lord Eldon\u2019s gaze followed Sawyer\u2019s every move.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And then there was Baxter. He kept his eyes narrowed at Sawyer for quite some time, his expression unchanged, as if trying to understand something.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s so awkward now,\u201d one of the council members murmured, hinting that they were asking me to sign the ID to join the pack while my human husband was present.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy is that?\u201d Sawyer asked, speaking up unexpectedly, though I should have known he would.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sawyer was always confident. He could walk into any new place and make it feel like home.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s because your wife is a werewolf and you\u2019re a human. How are you two going to stay in touch and continue your relationship? I mean, you can always visit, but she can never return to human land. It\u2019s strictly forbidden,\u201d the council member explained.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Humans were allowed into werewolf territory for a limited time if the council approved, but no werewolf was ever permitted to enter human lands.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It had been that way for fifteen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After a past incident involving a werewolf in the human world, the rule had been made permanent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen people love each other enough, they always find a way. I\u2019m sure we will too. For now, I can stay here until the sickness is dealt with. Wasn\u2019t that the rule, that she can come and bring her family?\u201d Sawyer replied confidently, refusing to let the situation affect his mood or our relationship.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was going to be difficult for me to focus on work while also worrying about Sawyer being here.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I knew him well, he could be a little reckless when things didn\u2019t go his way.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I Am so sorry for just one chapter today. I am not in good health but will continue updating more chaps once I feel better. For now, let me know your thoughts, please. What do you think about the alphas and their reasons to abandon her in the past and how do you feel about Sawyer?\u00a0<\/p>\n
