241\u2013He Is A Man Of The House For A Reason\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeline:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, are you getting kicked out? Did you do something?\u201d I asked, partly out of curiosity. They had a lot of luggage. two children, another man with them, and she was pregnant. I did not understand the situation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, my husband had a fight with the alpha of his pack. He was a warrior. When my husband refused to bow to his orders, he kicked us out,\u201d she explained.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I felt terrible for her. It was the same everywhere. The alphas and royals always got their way.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut you got the alpha who stood with you. I know what happened was really saddening, but in the end, you found the right man,\u201d she said to me. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
Everything that happened that day had been broadcast live, so everyone had seen the drama.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, I feel really lucky to have him,\u201d I replied awkwardly, not knowing how else to respond.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnyway, I guess we\u2019re going to be neighbors for now,\u201d she said, smiling widely.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, before we get kicked out of the motel too,\u201d I replied, \u201cbut it\u2019s okay. We\u2019ll all be fine.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you guys going to stay in the woods?\u201d she asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I nodded slightly. I did not want to tell her about the cabin yet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Part of it was because I did not want them to feel upset about not being near us in the woods, and I did not want them to panic.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I decided to keep it to myself for now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, our kids can play together for now,\u201d she said, pointing at Bodhi, Elara, and Gina.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know them, I\u2019m pretty sure,\u201d I said, gesturing toward my children and she nodded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut here, let me introduce you. This is Little Ronnie and Riley.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her two children stepped forward. They were around the same age as mine and blended in easily.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They were welcoming and immediately wrapped their arms around my kids.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo you\u2019re here with your husband and his brother?\u201d I asked and once again, she nodded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah. His wife is also coming over. They kicked all of us out,\u201d she responded in her gentle tone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I felt worried for her. It was a big family, and I did not know how they were going to manage.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnyway, I\u2019ll go rest. I\u2019m really tired. Can you send my kids back once yours are settled in the room?\u201d she asked, and I bobbed my head in response to her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the same time, Baxter stepped out after helping the men with their luggage.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After my kids played for a few minutes with Ronnie and Riley, we sent them to their rooms.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Baxter and I had been standing with the vending machine, watching the kids from afar.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Throughout the whole time, Baxter did not say anything.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We went back into the room, and he got us warm water and prepared the noodles for all of us before handing us\u00a0<\/p>\n
our cups.1\u00a0<\/p>\n
We sat on the couch while the kids stayed on the bed, sharing stories with each other.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry,\u201d I uttered, slurping the noodles to make it seem like it was just a casual conversation. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t need to apologize for the littlest things. You had every right to be upset,\u201d he replied casually, eating the noodles, which were basically gone in one bite.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I felt bad for him. He was leaving behind his entire world. For a man so big, such food was not going to be much.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI should have let you explain,\u201d I uttered, not even able to hold eye contact with him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He gently nudged me with his elbow.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI had plenty of time to explain. I should have just said it without waiting for your approval. I guess I was too\u2026\u201d He paused, then leaned down from the side toward my ear, lowering his voice to speak.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHorny to speak,\u201d He finished before straightening up and finishing his noodles. That alone gave me goosebumps. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
But I could tell it was safe to say that he was not angry about it, not even about the comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Usually, the man in my life would always remind me of a single thing I did and make me apologize over and over again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But this man reminded me of his previous self, the one from when we were friends.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then he left me, and he acted distant. When I returned, he was rude. So which one was the real Baxter?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, and by the way,\u201d he said as he stopped next to the bed and turned toward me, \u201cI\u2019m not marrying anyone.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As soon as he said that, I was not the only one who snapped my head up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My children looked at each other and then looked at him, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re not bringing that bad aunt into our home?\u201d Bodhi asked, and Baxter started to laugh.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, there is no need to. People only marry once. And I don\u2019t believe in sharing or being shared,\u201d he replied. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
The way he said it while looking at me, before sitting down with the kids to help them clean up the mess they had made on the bed, made me happy. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
