117\u2013Threatening To Take Away My Baby\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeline:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cRepeat that again. Are you threatening me by saying you will take my daughter from me?\u201d I asked, staring at him in disbelief.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt will be shared custody. You already have two of your children. I want Gina,\u201d he continued, sending chills down my spine.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow dare you? I took care of my daughter alone-\u201d I began, until he slammed his hand on the table.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My body jolted on the sofa.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have no idea what I am capable of. This is nothing. You have already driven me out of my mind by getting intimate with that man on this very couch. But now I will take my daughter from you. It is either you come into my life or I take my daughter from you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He stood and leaned over the table, making my eyes widen as he pointed his finger at me and threatened me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then he straightened, tugged at his jacket, and wandered off, making it clear he had seen our moment on this\u00a0<\/p>\n
terrace.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now he was using it to threaten to take my daughter from me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
For a few minutes, I did not move. I was bewildered and shocked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After what happened last time, when they misbehaved with me back when I was pregnant and went to them asking about the pregnancy, I had almost forgotten how rude they could be.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When I met them again later, they acted like completely different people.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But today, I saw a glimpse of the same man from five years ago.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And one question surfaced in my mind, something my wolf spoke about.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy did you not ask him what he did in five years?\u201d she wondered, and I froze.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was not easy for me to listen to her. I guessed it was probably the first time she had spoken in a long while.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you mean what he did? He said he was trapped in a marriage,\u201d I responded to her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCome on, Madeline, you really believe that? Did you not hear him speak warmly to his wife and defend her at the first dinner? He did not seem guilty when he met you. It was as if he was angry with you. Why would he be angry with you? You had to leave because you had no other option,\u201d she explained, making me tap my pen on the pages.\u00a0<\/p>\n
How do I get in contact with Sawyer now? That was my first thought.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I stood and stepped downstairs because I needed to speak with one of Graham\u2019s friends and ask them to stop him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If he talked about a DNA test, it would be strange for him to ask for only Gina.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He would expose my wolf that way. And the angrier he was, the more I realized he was not thinking clearly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIs everything okay?\u201d Nina voiced.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was sitting among the kids on the couch while they watched TV and played with Legos at the same time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, there was advancement in the case. Are you in contact with Sawyer when he is in the human world?\u201d I\u00a0<\/p>\n

asked, swallowing my pride.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She paused briefly before smiling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo,\u201d she replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It felt like a reminder that even though I claimed to be his wife, I still relied on her for many things.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I still had to ask her for pieces of him that I did not have.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAll right, I will be back in a minute. I just need to go across the road and speak to the alphas at the guest house,\u201d I stated, turning around and swiftly stepping out of the house.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, the weather outside was worse than I expected.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I hurried toward the guest house. The storm was overwhelming. The wind blocked my ears.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even walking across the road felt like pushing through misery.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There was so much fog and so much dust that I began to wonder if a fast\u2013moving car came crashing toward me, I would not even see it coming.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Thankfully, I managed to cross the road and reach the guest house.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I pressed my finger against the doorbell and waited anxiously. I knew that I was walking into a house full of people I could not trust.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cUm, who is it?\u201d Kaylee opened the door, and the smile on her lips faded when she saw me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMadeline, what are you doing here?\u201d she questioned, positioning herself with her hands on both sides of the doorframe to show I was not welcome.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI need to speak with the alphas. Can you please move aside?\u201d I stated, keeping my tone steady so she would not intimidate me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSure, of course. I mean, who can stop you, right?\u201d she remarked, pulling her hand away with exaggerated drama before gesturing inside.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As soon as I stepped in, I spotted Graham sitting with his father and stepmother at the dinner table, coffees placed in front of them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment Graham noticed me, his eyes narrowed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, the researcher is here. What brings you today?\u201d Lord Eldon inquired, and I gave them all a brief glance before heading toward the stairs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI need to speak with the alphas,\u201d I replied, continuing upward.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDid she not look like she came with a secret agenda?\u201d I heard Kaylee comment, but by then I had already reached the second floor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once I arrived, I took a deep breath and walked toward the first room, wondering if Elgin was inside.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I knocked and then picked up my phone, realizing I could simply call him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I dialed his number, and he answered almost immediately.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat is it?\u201d he asked. There was a coldness in his tone, and I assumed it was because I had dismissed him earlier when he spoke about Sawyer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere are you? I need to speak with you,\u201d I said, tapping my foot on the floor anxiously.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat is it about?\u201d he questioned. I rubbed my forehead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGraham has lost his mind. I need to speak with you,\u201d I stated, pacing the empty hallway.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was clear he was not here because I could not hear his voice from any of the rooms.\u00a0<\/p>\n
