375\u2013I Can Be Your Hero Or Teddy Bear\u00a0<\/p>\n
Byron:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI meant it, I don\u2019t want someone else to intervene and become a hurdle.\u201d I tried to explain, because looking at her being mad, I did not know, something frightened me. As she kept glaring at me, I added,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo basically my blood will be used for some ritual,\u201d I explained.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat is in it for you?\u201d Ron questioned, cutting me off.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Thankfully, Ron changed the subject as he questioned my motives. I watched Sean look at me excitedly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
We had been waiting for a moment like this, for someone to ask us this question, so I could put all our burden on them and ask for a lot of money.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But the problem was that Madeline was standing right next to him, watching my face, waiting for me to tell them what I did and what I needed from them in exchange for help.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will talk about it later. For now, I just know that my friend is in danger,\u201d I told them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The minute I mentioned Baxter as my friend, both Ron and Madeline turned to each other, and then my own friend looked at me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sean had a strange look on his face, but I avoided looking back at him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was your friend?\u201d Madeline questioned, as expected.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were kind of very close,\u201d I uttered softly, sniffling as if I were dying from the pain of losing my friend.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought he was the one who put you behind the ban,\u201d Ron remarked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I wanted to ask this man what his purpose was in coming here. I mean, I would take care of everything from here. He did not need to stick around her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, that is a long story. Anyway, I am really saddened by the fact that you are going through the loss of your husband and your daughter, but trust me, I believe they are alive,\u201d I told her. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
The minute I said that, Madeline\u2019s eyes shone with hope, and it made me smile in return.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to rescue him, then. I want to rescue my family,\u201d Madeline said, placing her gentle hand on her very intimidating chest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I will help you with everything I can,\u201d I replied, noticing Ron staring at me a little too hard.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, by the way, Madeline, the council has been asking for a court date,\u201d Ron added.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Of course, Ron had to intervene. Sometimes some men could not get a hint that they were side characters now. I rolled my eyes and noticed Sean still staring at me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile you two talk, I would like to have a word with my alpha,\u201d Sean excused them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
We stepped toward the fence.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat was that?\u201d Sean demanded, his hands on his waist, eyes narrowed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat? I just want to know how desperate they are, and then I will fix my price,\u201d I lied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Honestly, standing in front of that woman for a few minutes changed something in me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I did not know what it was. She was very beautiful, and I could not come across as desperate in front of her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cByron, please be honest with me. What are you thinking?\u201d Sean requested.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNothing. Listen, I think she is very desperate for her husband and mate, and she looks so sad. I do not want to take advantage of a woman who is going through so much pain. Besides, the moon goddess says to help others without asking for anything in return. I am just doing that,\u201d I replied. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
As I finished speaking, Sean gave me a disgusted look.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI knew it. I knew there was something wrong. The way you were watching her,\u201d he muttered, then instantly shut up as she returned.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen can we start planning on chasing the monster to his home?\u201d Madeline asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhenever you say,\u201d I replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cUm, actually, we have some pack matters,\u201d Sean began to intervene.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I raised a hand to stop him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd those matters can wait. Besides, what is this court date about?\u201d I asked Madeline, fixing my jacket.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cByron,\u201d Sean tried again, but I gave him a harsh look to silence him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSean, why don\u2019t you go and take care of the pack matters you are talking about? We really need to take care of that too,\u201d I told him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That was my way of telling him that one more word would push me over the edge.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFine. We will have this talk later,\u201d Sean uttered, wandering away, though I knew he would linger nearby.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, so what were you saying, Your Highness?\u201d I asked Madeline, and the title slipped out. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, I am so sorry. I keep thinking of you as the Luna. Anyway, my apologies. So what were you saying?\u201d I added, tying my hands behind my back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou were asking about the court case?\u201d she reminded me, and I nodded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I kept staring at her face as she explained what the court case was, and the playful grin on my lips slowly disappeared.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, so those alphas\u2014\u201cI began, then shut up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Graham and Elgin were the culprits of her agony.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The way she explained everything, and then Ron arrived and told me what the whole case was about. I could tell Madeline one thing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018There was an easy fix to all this. Bring the two pea\u2013brain alphas to the mountain top, summon the and exchange those two assholes for her family.\u2018\u00a0<\/p>\n
monster,\u00a0<\/p>\n
But of course, I did not say it out loud, because in front of her, I was an innocent little alpha, the cutest little teddy bear she could hug and forget all her pain.\u00a0<\/p>\n
