191\u2013The Wedding Is Cancelled.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeline:\u00a0<\/p>\n
Throughout the car ride, my children had been talking nonstop to Lord Eldon, and I could already tell that he was more affectionate toward Gina.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At this point, I was honestly not surprised. All these alphas had disappointed me in the way they only cared about their own blood.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It shocked me because if I had someone in my life and he had children, I would have treated them equally.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But I guessed that was just me. My mind wandered back to Baxter for a moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once we arrived at the council building, I settled in the office room while my children stayed in the room across the glass door.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I could see them with a group of nannies who were taking care of them since they were alpha children.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen is your soon\u2013to\u2013be husband arriving?\u201d Lady Abigail grunted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She looked drained from everything happening.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know,\u201d I replied, leaning back and folding my arms across my chest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t know where your mate is? The man who came to say he wanted to marry you?\u201d Lord Eldon snapped, and I rolled my eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had heard from Gina throughout the entire car ride how Elgin upset her, yet he wanted to question me?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, he was the one who made promises. Why don\u2019t you call him and ask him?\u201d I snapped at the council members.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t need to be so snappy,\u201d Eldon remarked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lord William stayed quiet. Whenever he did speak, it was usually something thoughtful.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was busy checking a file about the wedding arrangements.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGive him a call again,\u201d Lady Abigail asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, I will not,\u201d I replied, shaking my head. As soon as I said it, even Lord William looked at me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLord Eldon, you stay at the same guest house as him. Why did you not bring him with you when you came here?\u201d I asked, calling him out on something that was obvious.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had been questioning me, yet he could have fetched Elgin himself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat is true. Why didn\u2019t you?\u201d Lady Abigail asked, turning toward him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, because he was not in a great mood. He is a disrespectful child. He was yelling at these children too. I would not be surprised if after marriage he started hurting them,\u201d Lord Eldon stated in such a pointed way that my heartbeat skipped.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat will not happen,\u201d a voice said from the door.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I did not have to turn around to know Elgin had finally arrived.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I had already planned what I needed to do. After this marriage, I would send him away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
1\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n
101 The Weating is Conceted\u00a0<\/p>\n
+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n
All I needed was for my children to stay with me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This would only be an arrangement until I found a way to understand my wolf and what was going on with me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I just wanted to make sure my children stayed with me because after what happened, and how Silver had turned him against my children and even his own, I realized none of my children would be safe when I was not around.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Elgin walked in and took a seat beside me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThankfully, you arrived. Do you have any idea how many times we have called you?\u201d Lady Abigail complained.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I did not look at him. I was still upset. There were no excuses he could give to justify what he did to my daughter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnyway, now that you are here,\u201d Lord William began, but I noticed Elgin shifting in his seat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIs there a problem?\u201d Lord William asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, please continue,\u201d Elgin replied. Something in his voice felt off.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, we want you to sign these cards so we can send them out,\u201d Lord William explained, sliding the cards forward.\u00a0<\/p>\n
We only needed to sign our names as a way of confirming we were ready for the wedding.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I reached for a pen, but Elgin\u2019s words stopped me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI cannot sign it.\u201d 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
As soon as he said it, for the first time since he arrived, I turned my head sharply toward him. He avoided my eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI cannot go through with this marriage,\u201d he continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry, Alpha Elgin, please will you be clear about what you are trying to say? Are the dates not aligning with your work, or what is going on?\u201d Lady Abigail asked him, giving him another chance to correct his statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But I already knew what had happened. He had backed down from his promise yet again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I felt all sorts of emotions rush through me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I felt like that eighteen\u2013year\u2013old girl who once came to tell him she was pregnant.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I took a deep breath. My chest rose so visibly that even Lord William looked at my face, and then I exhaled, trying to calm my nerves.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m already married, and I have a duty to keep peace at my home,\u201d Elgin explained. \u201cAnd before you judge me, thought I would be able to take care of two responsibilities. But when my daughter was attacked by her sick daughter, it was brought to my attention that my kids are suffering and that her kids do not need a father. Maybe they need a therapist.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was Elgin\u2019s harshness that made my jaw almost hit the floor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At that moment, it felt as if he had set my entire body on fire.\u00a0<\/p>\n
