310\u2013They Broke My Mate\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeline:\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ever since Baxter left, I had been anxious. I sat on the bed and touched the empty space beside me. I did not know what was happening, but something was wrong.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you feel it too?\u201d I asked my wolf, who groaned deep inside me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel like something is breaking,\u201d she replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you mean?\u201d I pressed. \u201cPlease tell me it is not the mate bond. Is he okay?\u201d I rose from the bed at once. \u201cNo, it is not that,\u201d she reassured me. But before she could say anything else, my children woke up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I took care of their needs, and then we stepped out of the room. Yuvonne, for some reason, was extremely helpful. She took care of the house chores, and I had not expected her to do that. I could tell there were moments when she wanted to return to her own life, which made me wonder why she was forcing herself to do all this.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Doing house chores was not something she was good at. Every few minutes, she would pause, take a breath, and roll her eyes at the next task, which came straight from Lady Eugenia.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This was the first time the two of them were living together. I guessed Yuvonne was finally realizing how difficult it must have been to live with someone like Lady Eugenia.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But it would have been different. They would have had maids and servants.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Breakfast was served, and my children sat across the table from the three people they did not like.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cUgh, do you really want Elara to eat so much? She will turn into a cow at this rate,\u201d Lady Eugenia finally remarked. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
I had been watching her eye my children\u2019s food for a while. I hated it when someone watched others while they were eating.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It felt disgusting to me. So when she did it again, I slammed my fork down. She gasped, placing a hand on her chest, as if I had done something completely unexpected.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCan you please not do that? They are growing up. Let them eat,\u201d I snapped, watching her eyes widen in shock.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDid you see the way she behaved with me?\u201d she turned and complained to her husband.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He shook his head, slammed his spoon and fork down, and stood up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI will be caught dead before I eat anything from now on until this woman apologizes to my wife,\u201d he declared, speaking as if to an invisible audience while threatening a hunger strike. 2\u00a0<\/p>\n
He then held his wife\u2019s hand, supporting her to her feet and helped her out of the chair.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBy the way, if you really want people to love you and your children, you need to treat them as family. If one of your own had asked the children to behave properly, you would not have minded. So how do you expect us to see them as grandchildren when we cannot even tell them right from wrong?\u201d he continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I stared at his face in disbelief as he walked away to his bedroom. The two of them slammed the door shut, and I sighed, sinking into my seat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lord Jonah needed his medication, and for that he needed food. I felt defeated.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cFYI, you were not wrong. They have no right to body shame a child. That is how body image issues are born. There was no need for that,\u201d Yuvonne spoke up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I lifted my head and stared at her in silence. My children had stopped eating. They looked guilty.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKids, come on. Continue to eat. Everything is fine,\u201d I urged.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I reached for Elara\u2019s shoulder and gave it a gentle squeeze. Her eyes began to water.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen is Daddy coming home? I do not like it here when Daddy is not around,\u201d she complained, her lips quivering.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDaddy will be back very soon, okay?\u201d I replied, gently touching her cheek.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSomebody should go and bring him home though,\u201d Yuvonne uttered, keeping her head down as she focused on her plate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI suggested going with him. He said he would be fine,\u201d I replied, taking the spoon from my daughter\u2019s hand and feeding her myself since she could not continue eating.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, but even then, how would he come back? He will be shaken up and feeling vulnerable,\u201d Yuvonne added, taking a bite of bread.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWait, why would he be feeling vulnerable? I mean, yes, he lost the crown, but he can still come back home, right?\u00a0<\/p>\n
I did not know why, but hearing those words about Baxter hurt me. Whenever someone spoke about how miserable he might be, it affected me deeply. What concerned me the most was that my wolf had said she felt something breaking inside.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMommy, I am done. Can I please go outside and play?\u201d Bodhi interrupted, earning a nod from me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI will take the dishes inside,\u201d Yuvonne said, rising from the table.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I could tell she was hiding something. I decided to go outside with my children and speak with my wolf as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCan you please tell me what feels like breaking?\u201d I insisted, rubbing my palms together while making sure the kids stayed away from the edge since half the fence was unfinished.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel Baxter breaking,\u201d she answered. 2\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her words gave me goosebumps.\u00a0<\/p>\n
