Baxter:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI spoke with my mother,\u201d Yuvonne said taking deep, heavy breaths as if trying to calm herself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I noticed a few things about her right away. One was the giant handprint on her cheek.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I worried for her immediately, but she was telling me something, and I wanted to focus on that first.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd?\u201d I asked her while shoving my hands into my pants pockets.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The way she sniffled and started to break down made me want to comfort her, but I stopped when she showed me her palm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was my father,\u201d she confessed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even I could not believe what I was hearing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI spoke with my father, and he told me he had taken her phone and responded to everyone,\u201d She uttered in a soft tone, taking heavy breaths and kept sniffing back tears.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo your father fooled me?\u201d I asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As soon as I said it, she hugged herself and began to cry.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe said he had a reason,\u201d she replied in a trembling voice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat could be the reason to fool an alpha, to act like his daughter in front of an alpha?\u201d I almost yelled. I had not even stepped into her home.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I wanted to speak with her outside and then decide what to do.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When I arrived, I asked her to come outside, and now we were standing on the front porch.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I knew the neighbors could hear me, so I lowered my voice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat reason?\u201d I repeated.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was embarrassed,\u201d she answered. \u201cHe said his daughter had gotten pregnant, and there was a man texting her, telling her that whoever the baby belonged to, he would accept. Which meant his daughter had slept with more than one man.\u201d She paused to wipe her cheeks. \u201cAnd Baxter, before you judge my father, I know he did wrong. But you cannot expect him to react calmly to it. This is the world you alphas have created for women,\u2018 Yuvonne hissed as she accused me instead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her face turned red while she tried to fight back her tears.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat does it have to do with us?\u201d I asked, pointing at my chest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
>>\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou made the rules. We are women. If a woman sleeps with anyone who is not her mate, she will be punished. So I am sorry if my father was scared, not only for himself but for his daughter, who had gotten herself in trouble. Madeline went through a lot. And now I am finding out that she texted all of you, and you all used her and left her.\u201d She covered her face and began to cry, and guilt started to rise inside me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe did not use her,\u201d I replied, but she turned to me sharply and glared.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou sent her messages saying what you told her earlier was not true. She does not know, but what you told her before is what stayed in her memory. You, my father, all of you. You judged her. Now I am realizing she had no\u00a0<\/p>\n

fault. She was just\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She stopped speaking so she could take a large hiccup.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The door opened and her father rushed out, and I noticed the way she flinched.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is true. I did. I did text you,\u201d he told me. \u201cWhy? What did you expect me to not text you, huh?\u201d He stepped out looking angry.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you know lying to an alpha and impersonating someone else in front of him is a crime?\u201d I asked him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf he was not an elderly man and Madeline and Yuvonne\u2019s father, he would have caught my fist by now.\u201d The thought crossed my mind.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd using an eighteen\u2013year\u2013old girl and then leaving her when she is not your mate is not?\u201d her father replied, striking me with a harsh truth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I could have told him she was my mate, but it would not have changed anything.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had not been my mate back then.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI did what I thought I had to do. She was already gone, so I had to give the impression that there was no baby,\u201d He hissed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd of course I was stern with you,\u201d he continued, \u201cbecause I found out that the man who might have gotten my daughter pregnant did not try to take responsibility right away. So yes, I was angry, as any father would be.\u201d He spoke in a sharp tone before adding, \u201cAnd to think my daughter was already gone. I was losing my mind, and then I was getting these kinds of messages. What did you expect me to say? That was my attempt to stop the rumors from spreading one last time. And it worked. Nobody knew she ran away because she was pregnant until now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He grunted and gave me a hard look.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are lucky, young man, that I am even allowing the hand of my other daughter,\u201d he remarked. \u201cBecause it does not seem like you deserve any of my daughters.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He said this as he grabbed Yuvonne\u2019s arm to pull her toward the room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd if you want to marry her, then make a decision. Do not use her and leave her as well,\u201d he warned.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As he said that, my fist clenched tightly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLet her go,\u201d I told him, because I could see he was forcing her toward the house.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The slap on her cheek, the handprint, I could already guess it was his.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI told you, come with the council and marry her. Before that, she is in my care. I own her. She is my daughter. And by every book, every rule book, she will stay with me,\u201d he stated.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He dragged her inside, and even though I wanted to stop him, I knew that if I did, she would get in trouble.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But I was not going to repeat the mistake I made in the past.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I felt responsible for how he treated Yuvonne today because she confronted him for me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If I did not free her from her father\u2019s control, I would be responsible for ruining another girl\u2019s life again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo not worry, Yuvonne. I will bring the council. Next week, when we get engaged, I will make sure I demand you out of here,\u201d I voiced, but it was too late.\u00a0<\/p>\n
