128\u2013Her Protective Husband\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nina:\u00a0<\/p>\n
When I made a plan to give the two of them a special kind of wine and catch them in the act, I felt very optimistic.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I had been anxious and nervous throughout the lunch, but at least I believed everything would be fine once they woke up in the same bed the next morning.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alpha Baxter giving the kids those earplugs was the best idea.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They would never wake up from any noises, and the couple would go unbothered for a few hours.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once I finished tucking the kids in, I received an email from Sawyer. It was a reply to the message I had sent him earlier.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, we are going to play a little game,\u201d I told the kids as I sat on the stool next to their three beds.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat kind of game?\u201d Elara wondered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI will see which one of you can keep your eyes closed for longer. The one who does not open their eyes will be the winner,\u201d I explained.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They instantly closed their eyes. I used to do this often.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They were competitive, and they would eventually fall asleep.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With their eyes shut, I checked the email with shaky hands. I had expected a lot from Sawyer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I thought he would be furious with Madeline, that he would tell me to record everything and send it to him so he could keep watch over them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I thought he would ask how she could act so irresponsibly and bring a man over just hours after he had left.\u00a0<\/p>\n
None of that happened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
All my hopes drowned when I opened the email and started to read it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The subject alone made my stomach sink: stop talking nonsense about my wife.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I already understood the tone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dear, dear Nina,\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yes, I have reached, fine, like I would. Never heard of a storm like that, but I wish it had hit you so that you have not emailed me this bullshit.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What do you mean my wife went there and that something is going on between her and the alphas? Who are you to keep an eye on her?\u00a0<\/p>\n
I told you to give me news about her, not to make theories.\u00a0<\/p>\n
For her to leave urgently, it could be for anything. What did you expect me to react like?\u00a0<\/p>\n
What were you trying to say, that Madeline felt horny and left urgently to bring in Baxter, as if I would not know\u00a0<\/p>\n
her?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now listen to me, since you already planted these little seeds, if anything happens because of that, you will be responsible.\u00a0<\/p>\n
1\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n
So even if he did come there to plan something with her or to have a moment with her, you are on guard duty, make sure it does not happen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Because if it happens and anything ends up happening between the two, I will come for your throat, point blank period.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So keep a good watch and make sure nothing happens.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And do not disrespect my wife like that again. Just give me the news and information without adding your own commentary, you understand that?\u00a0<\/p>\n
That was all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
By the time I finished reading, I was shaking. Tears kept forming and disappearing in my eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I wanted to whimper and cry loudly, but the kids were still not asleep.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I could see Bodhi\u2019s eyelids moving. I looked to the side at the mirror and noticed how red I had turned, from embarrassment, hurt, and disrespect.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I felt miserable that I could not even cry properly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then it hit me. If the two of them drank that wine and anything happened between them, Sawyer would kill me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Not only would he kill me, but he would also question how I managed to record them yet did not stop them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I rubbed my face with my hands. At least I had emailed him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At least I found out before going through with such a stupid plan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If I had shown him a video, he would have come for my throat instead, like he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once I was sure the little shits were asleep, I got up and hurried out of the room, heading straight to the kitchen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The other two were upstairs already.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I spilled all the wine I had prepared into the sink while tears streamed down my face, tossed the bottle into the bin, and grabbed a new one.\u00a0<\/p>\n
By the time I went upstairs, I was shaking terribly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I wanted to cry my eyes out, and I had the storm as an excuse.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When I had left the two of them up there, not only did I return to her room to cry, but I also had to make sure nothing happened between them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And then when I saw Madeline again, I cried my heart out. But I told her I wanted to go home. I truly did not want to stay here.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I never thought I would turn into such an evil person. It had something to do with the fact that I was in an evil land, where wolves were evil.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I had not been this toxic back in the human world.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As I stood in the bathroom, holding the edges of the sink and staring at my miserable image in the mirror, I could not stop feeling angry at myself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I should not have stooped so low. I wondered if somehow Sawyer knew what I had been planning. If he did, then he would never feel anything for me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
2\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n
After I finished crying, I stepped out of the bathroom and found Madeline wandering around anxiously.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCan I please pack my bags and leave once the storm is over?\u201d I requested again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My breath was still hitching in my throat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI mean, I cannot force you to stay here,\u201d she replied, her arms folded over her chest in a way that looked like she was hugging herself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t worry, I am not going there for your husband,\u201d I added, feeling miserable as my head tilted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I began to cry in front of her, but very quietly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She still looked like she felt bad for me, and I hated myself for it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is okay, Nina. Everybody needs a break. You can go back, spend time with your father, be around humans. I understand,\u201d she told me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When she noticed how miserable I looked, she thankfully changed her tone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With much more certainty, she let me know that I could go back home.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So it was decided. I was going to take a break from this toxic land and leave.\u00a0<\/p>\n
