394\u2013Big Mistakes\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yuvonne:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo don\u2019t worry, and don\u2019t try to cry too much,\u201d my mother told me. \u201cShe wasn\u2019t your grandmother. Nobody will suspect you if you don\u2019t cry.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
My mother kept talking, and it wasn\u2019t just that her words were getting on my nerves, but also that I realized I was not alone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There was someone standing with me. I also knew that one thing I always do is keep my phone set to a very loud volume.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Graham was standing in front of me, and Elgin was standing behind me. They were standin\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMom, I\u2019ll talk to you later, okay?\u201d I said and ended the call immediately.\u00a0<\/p>\n
close.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s strange. Why did you get so scared?\u201d Graham asked, smiling as he slipped his hands into his pockets.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy would I be scared?\u201d I replied, shrugging my shoulders.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, it\u2019s just that you were probably talking to someone,\u201d He remarked. \u201cSometimes voices come through the phone a little.\u201d Graham smirked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIsn\u2019t that odd?\u201d Elgin added.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I turned around to face him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know what you people are talking about,\u201d I said. \u201cAnd right now, I\u2019m in a lot of pain, so please don\u2019t make it worse.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I tried to dismiss them, and when I attempted to walk past them, Elgin stepped into my way.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat kind of behavior is this?\u201d I asked. I did not raise my voice, but my tone was firm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s wrong, Yuvonne?\u201d Elgin replied. \u201cWe are alphas, and you\u2019re an alpha\u2019s wife. Why are you talking to us like this? You should speak to us properly. You never know when you might need us to get your husband released.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Elgin\u2019s words stopped me in my tracks. I stood there, staring at him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI know my husband is innocent,\u201d I replied confidently. \u201cHe has not done anything wrong. So I don\u2019t need anyone\u2019s help. An innocent person will get released anyway\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I said this because I knew damn well Ron would never do something so ridiculous. But the look on their faces was filled with a scummy attitude.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Elgin licked his front teeth while smirking, and Graham lowered his head to chuckle. They were purposely doing this to get to me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd if you think you both smirking and chuckling would get to me, then you are wrong,\u201d I snapped at them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The two looked at each other and then began to smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCome on, Yuvonne,\u201d Graham remarked. \u201cWhy would we hurt you? I mean, we want you in your sane mind because you\u2019re going to be taking care of Madeline, right?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Graham slipped his hands into his pants pockets and hunched forward, almost getting too close to my face. It was close enough that I had to pull away from him. When I did, accidentally bumped into Elgin\u2019s chest. I pulled back at once, making sure there was a good distance between us.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh yeah, Madeline,\u201d Elgin remarked. \u201cShe must be crying alone in her empty cold bed.\u201d He clicked his tongue as\u00a0<\/p>\n
he spoke those words.\u00a0<\/p>\n
+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n
My heart started beating loudly just from hearing them talk about her. There was something off in their eyes when they mentioned her name.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, poor Madeline,\u201d Graham uttered, placing a hand on his chest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He slowly slipped it under his shirt and rubbed his bare skin while holding deep eye contact with me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf only she hadn\u2019t been so stubborn, I would be so close to her right now, taking care of her in many different ways,\u201d Graham continued, causing goosebumps to rise on my skin. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou two are married, and so is she. Have some shame,\u201d I snapped, my voice breaking.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, Yuvonne. You\u2019re so not fun,\u201d Graham remarked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With that, Graham rolled his eyes and gave me a look that showed he was going to stop talk\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeline.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I heard you are going to testify against us,\u201d Elgin continued. \u201cThink about it, Yuvonne. Right now, you should be on your husband\u2019s side, not creating more enemies.\u201d 2\u00a0<\/p>\n
I understood what his words meant, and I was scared. I was not that wise, nor was I confident enough to stand firmly with what was right or wrong.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When they started hinting that if I went against them, no one would save my husband, I immediately began to hesitate. (1\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThink about it,\u201d Elgin said. \u201cOur court hearing is tomorrow. I hope you\u2019ll excuse us.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Saying that, Elgin and Graham moved past me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But the way Elgin deliberately brushed his arm against mine sent goosebumps through me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Realizing they were going to stay at the hospital, I decided to leave. I could not deal with them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The royal beta and gamma were going to stand guard outside Baxter\u2019s room, with cameras pointed toward it and live coverage sent to the rest of the warriors, just in case someone tried to do something. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once I was certain Baxter was in safe hands, I decided to go back home. I called my mother and told her not to come. I needed to get away from there for now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
