\u201cI could not understand how Byron had made contact with Madeline or how he had brought Baxter with him.\u201d My father was restless, pacing around from one corner to another.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I sat anxiously on the sofa, anger building again and again, only thinking about one thing. A manwhore alpha like him was staying close to Madeline.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I did not trust men like him. He chased beauty, and I knew he was only helping Madeline so he could get close to her. That foolish girl did not understand it. But the biggest question still remained. How had he managed to get Baxter out?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe warrior said Baxter\u2019s condition is very critical,\u201d my father informed me. \u201cBut Ron is helping them. Ron\u2019s vote is in his favor.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
My wolf growled inside me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I threw my head back against the couch, resting it on the back of the sofa. Both my hands moved through my hair as my eyes drifted toward the ceiling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople like him always appear from somewhere,\u201d Elgin remarked quietly. \u201cJust to make themselves heroes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
At this moment, no one said anything else. No one needed to. We all knew the same truth sitting in our minds.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gina was already dead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I had already mourned her the day she was taken away. I had adjusted, in a way, to the truth that she was gone. It felt like the others were only now confirming it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat are we going to do now?\u201d Elgin asked, gently placing his hand on the back of mine and giving it a small, understanding squeeze.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe need to get rid of Ron,\u201d I snapped. 2\u00a0<\/p>\n
I have already taken care of that old lady. Ron is the only one causing trouble.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I leaned back slightly, continuing without pause.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAs for Byron, he will need a good few weeks to lift the ban with the files he has. But those files being with him can also bring serious trouble for Baxter and Madeline.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, both of you need to stay calm,\u201d my father intervened. \u201cI will handle these matters. Yuvonne has also responded to the email. She has not canceled the court case. She will be appearing by tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. We will be all set by then.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He paused briefly before adding,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut like Graham said, we need to take care of Ron first. He is becoming a problem. We need to make sure they have no shoulder to cry on.\u201d 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
Both Elgin and I nodded in agreement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That was when I noticed Kaylee standing at the kitchen doorway, watching us. She had already expressed her concern to me earlier, saying that she felt we were wasting too much time thinking about Madeline.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI want Madeline to be at our mercy,\u201d I told my father.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was also true that hearing about Baxter\u2019s condition had deeply saddened me. I was not evil. He was my friend. We had been together like brothers, so of course these things hurt me. (2)\u00a0<\/p>\n
But it was also true that he had chosen to go against us and shake hands with Madeline. And then my daughter was killed. I was deeply annoyed. (2)\u00a0<\/p>\n
The turmoil inside me was not the same as what Elgin was feeling. He only hated Madeline for using us. I hated her for that too. I was angry that she had used us.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But my pain went beyond that.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My daughter was gone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd that will happen, I promise you,\u201d my father told me, giving a small nod.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow do you plan to do it?\u201d The moment Kaylee walked out of the kitchen toward the living room, I turned my face away from her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I was angry that they had not handled the interview with the warrior properly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The warrior had claimed that the family did not care about Gina, but when I pressed him further, he admitted that they were fighting the monster while Gina stood by the fence in silence.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was so quiet that even he did not notice her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After I finished the interview, I confronted my father and Kaylee. They told me they had not asked the warrior such detailed questions. That upset me deeply, because their carelessness had pushed me into a disaster. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
Still, none of it changed the truth. By the end of the day, my daughter was dead. And Madeline had told me that she had used us only to get over her feelings for Baxter. I did not believe her, but hearing those words still wounded me deeply and crushed my pride.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThey are in despair right now,\u201d my father stated calmly. \u201cThey have no idea what is happening right under their noses. So do not worry. We will have good news by morning. Just wait and watch.\u201d (1\u00a0<\/p>\n
A confident smirk played on his lips, one I badly wanted to trust. But I could not feel at ease until I saw a real\u00a0<\/p>\n
