192\u2013Taking My Children Away\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeline:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow dare you!\u201d I screamed, my fist clenched.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I was ready to step forward and smack his face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When he turned to me, he looked at me with the same aggression I was giving him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy? Did I say something wrong?\u201d he snapped, grunting angrily. \u201cDid your kid not attack my child?\u201d he yelled, making me keep staring at him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My wolf started to stir awake in the most unnatural way.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This kind of reaction could lead to a disaster, and it could push my wolf into attacking him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat is the sickness, the same sickness that you brought me here for!\u201d I screamed back at him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo need to yell. A good lady never raises her voice. You are just proving his point that it will not be easy for him to take care of an alpha\u2019s daughter and a mate who yells at him,\u201d Lady Abigail remarked, making me snap my head toward her. I stared at her in disbelief.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI think you should remind this gentleman that he is an alpha, and alphas are supposed to make decisions with thought,\u201d Lord William stated.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The room went silent. Everyone turned to look at him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He looked disappointed as he took off his glasses and set them aside.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI understand that your daughter was attacked. And whose fault was it? Yours. The adult\u2019s fault. Why are you dragging a sick child? Have we not seen what this sickness does to the children? How is it acceptable for us to show compassion to all the other children but single out one child for our own advantage?\u201d Lord William raised his voice at Elgin the way a father would.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI am disappointed in you, young man. You gave this lady hope after everything she has lost in the past few years, only to crush her again. And then, instead of admitting you cannot keep your promises, you put the blame on everyone, even her little daughter?\u201d he shouted as he slammed his hand on the table. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
Elgin stayed silent. A shameless, quiet man.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I began to feel a strong emotion rise inside me. Not because of Elgin\u2019s words.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They only angered me. I felt a cold sting in my nose, like I had eaten something too strong.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That was how close I was to crying. After hearing Lord William defend me, I wanted to break down and thank him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even my own father had never taken a stand like that for me. But I knew if I opened my mouth, I would cry.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I will not hear any more <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
