MasukMadeline:“I just had a thought. It’s not like you guys have to completely listen to me. I’m just gonna make a suggestion,” Yuvonne said as she shifted uncomfortably in her seat.Everybody was watching her.Everyone could tell she was getting a little uncomfortable, even before making the suggestion.But whatever name she was about to say seemed to have been stuck in her mind, like she needed to get it out.“Nobody’s gonna judge you.” Ron extended his hand and took hers, giving it a reassuring squeeze.I noticed Daniel and Livia watching their brief, affectionate moment.Then, almost unintentionally, the two looked at each other before quickly looking away.Watching Ron and Yuvonne had somehow made them glance at each other.“Graham,” Yuvonne said, and I felt the hair on the back of my neck stand up.There was pure rage in her eyes, and I could understand why.Even though she knew Lady Eugenia was the one who wanted her dead, after what Graham had done to her, she would have rather ac
Madeline:We all nodded, hoping he had found something useful for us.“They were probably doing it because they were afraid that if werewolves ever tried to stop them from existing, they could use those curses or that information to fight back,” Baxter explained when he noticed my mother looked slightly confused about why the humans would want to study something they were leaving behind.“Exactly,” Daniel said, agreeing with Baxter.“So, there was a book that had information about this exact curse.”As he said that, he dramatically opened the book, and the first thing I saw was an image of the monster.My breath hitched, while Livia hiccuped.My mother's eyes began to water.Baxter, who was sitting right next to me, slowly slipped his hand onto my thigh and squeezed it comfortingly.I held his hand tightly, staring at the pages through wet eyelashes.“So, it seems that breaking such a curse is possible,” Daniel explained, making our eyes widen.“And you know how the sickness even star
Madeline:Baxter had been anxiously pacing around the living room, smoking and running his hand over the back of his neck.I could already tell why he was so upset.Whatever his mother had done was horrible.My mother had not stopped crying since Ron told them everything that had happened to Rosetta.How she had been abducted, kept in a cage, and shackled.Then she had been forced to let someone else enter her body, but she survived.She had pretended to be a daughter and endured so much loneliness, all the while waiting for the right moment to find her family.It just crumpled me.Baxter did not comment, though. He just kept smoking and smoking.Even if I tried to stop him right now, I knew he wouldn't."And by the way, like I said, Sawyer seems to be planning to kill the monster just to make himself look good,” Ron commented while his jaw clenched."But he cannot kill my father," I said, placing both my hands on my chest.At this point, we all knew everything."Yeah, but—" Ron pause
Madeline:Baxter had come out after convincing his wolf that he needed to put him to sleep.He had a good excuse too: werewolves were coming over, and they would be able to smell such a powerful wolf on him.So he put him to sleep.Finally, we were together again, and Baxter told me that everything had worked.Kaylee had not only bought the whole thing, but she had gone along with it.That was exactly what I expected from her.She was an opportunist.She would do anything except change her ways.The fact that she genuinely thought she could come here and steal Baxter from me made me so angry that I had to keep forcing myself to stay calm.Now we were all sitting together, talking about almost everything, except for a few things Ron had said he still needed to tell me.“What is it?” I asked.We had already had an amazing dinner.My children had spent most of their time playing with Yuvonne, while Ron caught up with Baxter.I could tell Ron was a little upset that Baxter still didn’t ha
Madeline:“I cannot believe Rosetta did all that. So there really had been a guardian angel watching over us all this time.”I sighed, placing both hands over my chest.I couldn’t wait to meet Rosetta because I desperately wanted to ask her if my suspicions were right, if what my family and I had been thinking was actually true.Was Rosetta our long-lost sister?“She’s wonderful, isn’t she?” Ron asked.The way he searched my face for an answer made it seem like he knew more.Of course, he and Yuvonne knew far more about what had happened in the werewolf world after I left.We had only just sat down, with refreshments spread out for everyone, when they began telling me everything.Literally everything that had happened in the werewolf world, from Sawyer arriving and being freed with Lady Eugenia’s help to the fact that they were now waiting a week for him to prove himself.But that was a conversation for later.Right now, we were still at the stage of introducing each other to the most
Madeline:It was as if I had gone back to the werewolf land. Seeing Ron here felt so strange.It was like being at daycare and seeing your parents come for you at the end of the day.That happiness of seeing an old, familiar face was exactly what I felt in that moment.We hugged, and I actually had to calm my guards down because, from how tightly Ron was holding me, they thought he was strangling me.“Oh my goodness, look at you!”Ron broke the hug and took my hands, gently pushing me back so he could get a proper look at me.“What is going on? Did they accept you back here? Oh my goodness, tell me you’re the president.” He started to ramble while I laughed, shaking my head.“No. You’ll be surprised, actually,” I said, realizing I needed to let him settle down before breaking the news to him. “I have a surprise for you.”“Wait, first let me take this in. We were so worried about you, but seeing you doing so well—” Ron placed a hand over his chest. “Oh my goodness, the others are going
