Madeline:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat are you looking at? Snatch the phone out of her,\u201d Graham yelled at his warrior, who instantly started to step toward Yuvonne. But the minute she lit up the screen for him, he stepped back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou dare!\u201d Yuvonne uttered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was breathing heavily. She was in her nightgown, but her hair was disheveled. It seemed like she had a panic attack just before coming outside.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you don\u2019t want anyone to know what scumbags you all are, step away from my sister,\u201d she screamed, tears running down her eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She looked hysterical at the moment. However, it was the words she said next that changed everything\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou see, Lord William, this is what your alphas are doing to women.\u201d 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
The minute she said that, both Elgin and Graham stepped back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then I realized the man on the screen was Lord William, one of the council leaders. She had woken him from his sleep.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat the heck is going on over there?\u201d Lord William shouted as loudly as he could.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since his sleep had been disturbed at his age, his anger seemed doubled.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLord William, my father has spoken to Lady Abigail and the other alphas, and it was decided that we would come here to interrogate Madeline,\u201d Elgin replied, stepping away from me to make it seem like they were not doing anything. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cReally?\u201d Lord William demanded. \u201cThen why didn\u2019t you explain what kind of interrogation you were going to do? And why is her robe on the ground, and why were you two standing so close to her? You saw it, Lord William. Don\u2019t lie,\u201d Yuvonne screamed, panic rising in her voice. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
She continued yelling, clearly distressed, and I felt bad for her. It seemed like her past trauma had rushed back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGive me the phone. I\u2019ll speak to Lord William,\u201d Elgin insisted, rushing toward her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She screamed again, which made him stop.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou stand back, Alpha Elgin,\u201d Lord William ordered through the call. \u201cI have informed the alphas of the nearest packs. They will be coming there with their warriors. Until then, she remains on the video call with me. As for you two, I am disappointed and disgusted. There will be a full investigation into your actions tonight. And step away from Baxter.\u201d 2\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lord William spoke all of this in one breath.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The warriors stepped away from Baxter, but Baxter did not rise. He stayed on his knees, his fists clenched against the ground.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWear your robe, sister,\u201d Yuvonne murmured softly. I noticed her body starting to sway.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I grabbed my robe, but then I saw her falling. I rushed toward her and supported her weight.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, I\u2019m fine,\u201d she muttered. \u201cJust take this and make sure Lord William stays on the video call.\u201d She whispered as she handed me the phone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She sat down, taking deep, heavy breaths, while I hurried toward Baxter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But the moment I got close to him, I did not know how to console him. I dropped to my knees in front of him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There was silence around us for a few seconds, but I could sense the energy had shifted. Alpha Graham and Alpha Elgin looked anxious.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were not doing anything,\u201d It seemed like Graham had called his own father on his phone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The biggest issue for them should have been that none of us thought we could receive such strong signals at the top of the mountain.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then my eyes shifted toward the cabin, and I felt like that was the reason. Someone must have lived there. \u201cWell, I don\u2019t know what he\u2019s talking about. Of course, they are setting us up for a disaster. We just came here to talk, and they started to attack us. Do you not even want us to defend ourselves?\u201d Graham complained to his father on the phone, pacing anxiously while waiting for the arrival of the warriors Lord William had informed him about.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They were not supposed to leave until the warriors arrived, and they were also not supposed to end the call with Lord William until the warriors reached them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry,\u201d Baxter whispered, pulling my attention back to him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy are you apologizing?\u201d I asked, gently touching his cheek.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI couldn\u2019t protect you,\u201d he murmured, not lifting his face, even when I tried to guide it up. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
I moved closer and hugged him, resting his head against my chest while he kept looking down.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I ran one hand through his hair while my other hand rested on his shoulder, gently squeezing his skin to offer comfort.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As I did so, I turned slightly and saw Elgin and Graham staring at me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Graham still had his phone pressed to his ear, but he was no longer speaking.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was glaring at me directly. Elgin stood beside him, a frown on his face, as if he could not believe what he was seeing. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finally, the warriors began to arrive. It felt like the night was coming to an end.\u00a0<\/p>\n
