Nina:\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ever since Sawyer left, I had been feeling dull and low, and it had only been hours.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This time, though, it gave me a very bad feeling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Most of the time, it seemed like he wasn\u2019t even interested in me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even when I initiated anything, he didn\u2019t really participate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The other night, when he arrived and needed a bed, he came into my room and asked me to sleep on the couch.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Eventually, in the middle of the night, I did manage to seduce him, but we only did a few things before he told me he was tired.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When he went to bed, it really bothered me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now I had to watch Madeline move around as if she were the only person capable of capturing his attention.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Not only had he married her, which I didn\u2019t think he was capable of doing with anyone, but he also made her feel special in ways he had claimed he never could for anyone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The emergency landed on me. I saw all the alphas around Madeline and wondered why she needed him on top of them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Couldn\u2019t she marry one of the other alphas?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then I remembered that they already had someone in their lives.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cRon doesn\u2019t,\u201d My wolf snapped, and I began to nod. 2\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cRight, why would she stay in a relationship when it would be such a long\u2013distance one, and she knew Sawyer would start sleeping around with other women?\u201d I hissed, letting my wolf know I agreed that Madeline should marry someone from the wolf land.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, that wouldn\u2019t be good. He could only be with one other woman. If he slept with someone else, he would abandon us, which, I could see, had already happened because he seemed bored with us this time.\u201d As my wolf reminded me of his distant behavior, my breath hitched.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, don\u2019t say that.\u201d I couldn\u2019t even imagine my life without him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I reached for the kitchen counter and slapped my hands on it. Worried and stressed, \u201cwhat could I do now?\u201d I asked her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTry to make yourself seem more loyal to Sawyer than Madeline,\u201d my wolf whispered, and I nodded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then I grabbed my phone and opened my email to send Sawyer a message.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI bet it was clever of you to deny being in contact with him,\u201d my wolf admitted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I nodded anxiously.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I was the one who had told Sawyer what was happening here.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He used to call me his guard. I was one of the guards relaying information from the werewolf land.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even when I had kept some information to myself, hoping Madeline might become friends with me, I had\u00a0<\/p>\n

changed my mind.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t need to protect her. She didn\u2019t need saving. She already had too many people around her doing that.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I typed the subject line: Your Wife is Cheating on You. Then I began the email.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hello Sawyer,\u00a0<\/p>\n
I hope you have reached home safely. I just wanted to let you know what\u2019s going on here. There is a cursed storm attacking people, throwing things around, hitting them, even killing them. We are all stuck in one place.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Earlier, your wife left in urgency through the storm, reaching the guesthouse. She stayed there for about an hour, then returned with Baxter, who was shielding her with his body. Now she is claiming that he will stay here because she doesn\u2019t want him to go out and get hurt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I\u2019m sorry to say this, but I feel like something is going on, not only between her and Baxter but also between her and Alpha Ron. They had taken walks together before, and it seems he sometimes plays the hero for her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I hit the send button and took a deep breath and began preparing a meal for them. I prepared something that none of the kids were allowed to drink, wine. After the meal, I planned to offer them wine, not just any wine, but a very special one. After that, when they made mistakes, I would be the one to record it and send it to Sawyer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I closed my eyes, trying to convince myself that I wasn\u2019t making a mistake, that I was doing everything right because it had to be done.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeline needed to get out of my way for Sawyer to give me his full attention, and even if I had to stoop low, I was going to do it all for him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After I prepared the meal, I went out again to let them know.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At this point, I could tell that Baxter was extremely tired.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He sat on the couch alone, arms spread, body leaning back, neck stretched, eyes closed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Every now and then, he would shake one leg, lift it up, and then rest it down, as if letting everyone know he wasn\u2019t asleep.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The kids were still playing, and Madeline wasn\u2019t around, so I assumed she had gone to the second floor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I took the stairs to let her know I was ready to serve the food.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe food is ready,\u201d I said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought that, since the weather was stormy, I could prepare one of the unused rooms for Baxter so he could rest there,\u201d I asked about the small room we had never used before, that was why Sawyer had to sleep on the couch.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can stay in my room since I won\u2019t be sleeping. Baxter can use your room. The other room will take too much work for now,\u201d she suggested, dabbing her pen on the paper.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The way she spoke made her seem so royal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even when she wasn\u2019t, it was all Sawyer\u2019s fault, he had given her so much confidence and attention.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If he had given that to me, I wouldn\u2019t just be a nanny today.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, then I\u2019ll serve the food. I also prepared some little drinks for when the kids take a nap,\u201d I said. Anxiety was building in me, and a few droplets of sweat started to form and fall from my temple.\u00a0<\/p>\n
2\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay,\u201d Madeline replied, getting up from her seat to help me serve lunch.\u00a0<\/p>\n
