Baxter:\u00a0<\/p>\n
It felt like a fever dream. Those hours, those amazing four hours, felt like heaven to me. In those moments, I felt like I had achieved everything. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
It even seemed better than getting crowned. I was happy, incredibly happy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After I was done with her, she stepped out of the river, cleaning herself while I stayed back, watching her with hungry and thirsty eyes. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
She knew I was watching her. She smirked at herself for a few seconds, and then it was time to return to the children.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I washed and went back wearing the shorts. We changed outside before entering the shelter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The woman had fed the kids and put them down for a nap while she sat next to them, waiting for our arrival.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment we arrived, she got up and hugged Madeline. The way the two bonded was unexpected.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They had just met, but it seemed like they had known each other for years.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you so much,\u201d she told Madeline before turning to me. \u201cThank you so much, sir,\u201d she added with a broken smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow are you feeling?\u201d I asked her, scratching the back of my neck.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Standing next to Madeline gave my body a strange heat already.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m feeling much happier,\u201d she replied, smiling.\u201cYou can stay here with us,\u201d Madeline told her, holding her hand, and I did not object.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeline got to make decisions. I believed that in order to run a home, a man should listen to his wife and let her be the owner of the house too.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And Madeline was about honesty, loyalty, love, and affection.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd your husband seems to be very happy,\u201d the girl remarked, almost purring like a little bird. That change in her was noticeable.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI am Nala,\u201d she stated happily.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was strong. But it was sad that someone had to act happy even when they were not truly feeling it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, please don\u2019t look at me with those eyes. Those assholes are dead, and I\u2019m feeling much better now, commented, tightening her arms at her sides and nodding her head.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou cleaned up the outside,\u201d I mentioned, referring to all the blood and body parts we had scattered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cshe\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, I felt better. I placed them behind that big tree. We should burn them in the morning,\u201d she whispered, noting that it was already five in the evening.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The kids were going to wake up again, and they would have questions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou should lie down a bit,\u201d I told Madeline, who nodded, not able to speak much before she went ahead and lay down next to the children.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I stepped out to check the building base. I have not been able to do much today.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That was the only thing weighing me down until the river session. Now everything felt fine. I could take a little break. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou two look good together.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I turned and saw Nala approaching me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2026 you are impressed with her,\u201d she added, and I smiled, nodding my head.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut after having three children, you two look like strangers.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment she said that, my smile began to fade.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease don\u2019t mind, but it was just something I noticed. Is there something wrong between you two?\u201d she questioned, making me uncomfortable.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I was not the type who liked to talk about his lover with someone else. For me, Madeline was a sacred topic. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
I did not wish to speak with anyone about her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I did not even mention her much to my wolf, because I hated when he spoke about her, so I definitely did not want to talk about her with a stranger.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, it\u2019s fine. It\u2019s just that she leaves me speechless every time,\u201d I replied in a good way, but she began to shake\u00a0<\/p>\n
her head.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, there\u2019s something wrong. Otherwise, you two would not seem so distant. And I know you two had fun today, because who takes a four\u2013hour long bath, but can I tell you something?\u201d She stopped and then asked me a question.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShoot,\u201d I responded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhatever it is, speak with her about it. She seems eager to know what you\u2019re thinking. And before you ask how I know, I just know. I sometimes feel vibes, and I get these vibes from you two. You\u2019re holding back something. And she is craving to know what it is. Talk to her. Trust me, she will put you at ease.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As soon as she said that, she turned around and walked away. And I began to wonder why. Why did her words affect me so much?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat was because you believed it too. You had held back those words forever. At this point, not telling her is betraying her. You needed to tell her what you know, because you could not accept her while keeping this grudge inside you,\u201d my wolf mumbled. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
I stared at the shelter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I guessed it was time to confront her about her words against me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
