356\u2013Between Two Mates, One Is The Worst\u00a0<\/p>\n
Graham:\u00a0<\/p>\n
Elgin did not stay with me. I had to go back home alone with my worries, but that did not mean I would give up on looking for my daughter. I was enraged by how this could have happened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There were so many people there that night, yet the monster only took my daughter. It felt like she was not their priority. Otherwise, my daughter would have been saved too.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWait, what are you saying?\u201d my father questioned as I moved restlessly around the living room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ever since I had arrived, I noticed I had not been able to form a full sentence. I was not panicking. I was just losing my grip.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat is it that you do not understand?\u201d I shouted. \u201cA monster came and took Gina.\u201d I raised my voice again, making my father narrow his eyes at me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cA monster?\u201d my father repeated, folding his arms across his chest. \u201cAnd where did this supposed monster come from?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom the sky,\u201d I snapped.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, I mean how did it come down?\u201d he pressed, his stare making me uncomfortable.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy are you looking at me like that?\u201d I asked my father, snapping at him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause, if I remember correctly, my son, it was you who was interested in finding out about the monster. And it cannot be a coincidence that it arrived right after you fixated on it,\u201d he replied, staring at me with his hands on his\u00a0<\/p>\n
waist.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo you think I wanted it to come and take my daughter away from me?\u201d I asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I did not raise my voice because I could tell he was growing frustrated with me. I needed him on my side if I wanted my daughter found.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, play stupid games, win stupid prizes,\u201d he muttered, making me wave my hand to dismiss his words.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLook, I will be honest with you. It has been days now. She is gone.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As soon as he said that, my heart sank. I hated the truth. I hated the reminder that I had lost my daughter because\u00a0<\/p>\n
of me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut we have not even looked for her yet. What if\u2014\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
My father lifted his hand, cutting me off.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is no if, no buts, Graham. She is gone. And she is gone for good.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Those words were spoken by Kaylee as she intervened, stepping into the living room with a hand pressed to her back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAren\u2019t you happy that you are no longer connected to Madeline in any way?\u201d she asked me. Her eyes were red, likely from crying or anger. That was only because I had not answered her calls in the last few hours.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd you think that your reaction is appropriate?\u201d I hissed at Kaylee, my fists clenched, but my father instantly stepped in front of me.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cYou will not take your anger out on my daughter\u2013in\u2013law. She is carrying your pups. She is going to give you the strongest heirs. As for Gina, it is sad that she passed, but she is gone. And Kaylee is right. You no longer have any connection to Madeline, so just be happy about that. She disrespected you enough times, especially when she protected the other kids and let yours be taken away,\u201d my father declared. $2\u00a0<\/p>\n
He continued, listing facts, but every word hurt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI am a mother too, Graham, and I will never let one of my children suffer while protecting the others. Nobody can take any of my children away from me unless I want them gone. So you better believe she did not put as much effort into saving Gina as she did into the other two. Snap out of it. You are lucky you are not connected to that witch, because trust me, Elgin still is, and she will make sure she takes revenge on him by hurting his daughter too,\u201d (19\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaylee muttered under her breath, taking deep, heavy breaths, because as a mother, it was not easy for her to say all these things.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I wondered how vindictive Madeline had to be to purposely not protect Gina.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut there is a chance that she tried,\u201d I asked my father.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He chuckled and shook his head.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy son, you do not know these women. Just because you have Kaylee does not mean you understand how cunning other women are, especially Madeline. She did it on purpose. That is why the news first came out that Elara was abducted. Do you not see what she is doing? She has you by the neck. So snap out of it,\u201d my father hissed angrily. 2\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat we are saying is the truth, because I interrogated the warrior after you left,\u201d my father stated confidently.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My eyes\u00a0<\/p>\n
shifted to the warrior I had asked to summon the demon on the mountain top. The warrior stepped forward to relay the whole story to me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd before you start questioning him, let me remind you that your wife, the one carrying your pups, is the one who made sure she got all the information from the warrior so you could be put at ease. So be grateful that you have a mate who is so understanding. Even in a place like this, where she has to talk about your ex, she is doing it just to put you at ease,\u201d my father said, full of praise for Kaylee. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
And if what they were saying about Madeline was true, she had no idea what was coming for her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
