LOGINRon:"But it doesn't change the fact that she dropped the keys, and that is why my Yuvonne is dead," Lady Karla tried to explain when I confronted her for lying about Madeline not looking for the cure for Yuvonne.That was something I could be upset with her over.But then again, it was a mistake, not something she did deliberately.What I had accused her of was deliberate."I cannot believe you would lie to me. I cannot even understand how a mother could lie even when her daughter is dead," I scolded her, watching her lower her head and look guilty, even though I knew she was not.I should have known that the moment something happened to Yuvonne, she would come for Madeline's throat."Anyway, you should not come to the hospital for now. I'll let you know when the funeral is ready," I dismissed her with a hand gesture.It was not that I would completely be okay with Madeline.She did drop the keys outside, not caring for Yuvonne's or anyone else's safety.But that was a stupid mistake
Madeline:I sat in Byron’s car, and we started our journey back home.My thoughts kept drifting in and out.The hospital was the only place we had checked.Ron’s warriors had searched the surroundings too, but where could he be?Could he be in the woods? Maybe he woke up and shifted, but then he was not seen on the cameras.I held my face in my hands and leaned back in the seat, feeling nauseous.“Madeline, you should eat something. You are not looking well. You look very pale,” Byron said, offering me a protein bar.I shook my head and turned my face to the side, my hand pressed against my stomach.“I think I am going to throw up,” I said.He immediately pulled the car over near the woods.I got out and moved to the side of the road, throwing up.I felt sick to my stomach.There were no answers. Only confusion and mystery, and I did not understand what was going on.After that, Byron quickly stepped out and held my hair back so I could empty my stomach.After a while, he helped me cl
Madeline:“What are you saying? He is gone?” Lady Eugenia yelled.In the last few minutes, I had been trying to explain everything the doctor had told me and everything I knew so far.“I do not know what to say anymore,” I said, almost breaking down again.“Well, you are not coming back without my son, so you better find him, because it was your idea to put him in that coffin,” she screamed, making me grip the phone tightly.“But that was the only way to protect him, to wake him up,” I replied, reminding her that his condition had been bad. “I did whatever I could to ensure his safety.”“Well then, is he alive? Is he here with us? Then how did your plan work? How did any of your plan work?” she shouted, throwing my failure back at me.“Well, I guess we should all just admit it. Madeline, you are a fucking failure. And you are cursed. Whatever you touch turns into stone. A fucking stone!”Her words made my heart pound louder in my chest.I started to sniffle, trying to hold back my tear
Madeline:Hours had passed, and no one had been able to tell me what had happened. How could Baxter be gone?I had turned the whole hospital upside down, running through every floor, screaming and crying.I was so angry and furious that I did not even know if I was taking my anger out on the right people.“That is impossible!” I screamed again when a nurse suggested that maybe he had woken up and walked out.“He could not have woken up himself,” I shouted, my eyes shifting to the doctor, who looked completely clueless.“Could he?” I asked, hoping and wishing that was the case.He shrugged before rubbing his chin.“I mean, it could be. Maybe he woke up, got confused, and walked out,” he said.As soon as he suggested that, I felt a bit relieved. Him going missing out of nowhere was far more terrifying than him leaving on his own.But then the door had been locked. The warriors should have seen something.Byron arrived after searching the entire hospital. I had called him the moment I fo
Madeline:My eyes were swollen from crying the whole night. Although Byron tried to fix my broken heart, it was not possible.Now that I knew the killer had gotten inside the house using the keys I dropped outside, everything changed.Previously, I held myself accountable for not being able to protect her, but now I knew for a fact that I was the reason she died.I had helped her killer get inside the house and kill her.So yeah, it was a huge thing. I was going through a lot.“Mommy, when are we going back home?” Elara asked, watching me button up my sweater.I turned to her and sat down on the bed, gently touching her cheek.“We will go back home with your father,” I told her, noticing her frown. “I am going to pick him up from the hospital today.”The moment I explained why I was getting dressed, her face lit up.I knew it was too soon.I had just lost my sister two days ago.But I wanted Baxter to help me through it.I wanted to fix things for Ron, and since he was upset with me a
Madeline:"You were supposed to care for her," Ron said when we met.We stood face to face. Dried tears clung to his eyes and cheeks, hinting that he had cried to the point where no tears were left."I tried my best," I said when he grunted, slamming his hand in the air, almost like a shrug, jerking his hands."If you tried, she would have been saved by now. If you had tried, she wouldn't be dead now," he screamed, then bit his tongue, placing his hands on the back of his neck."You were going to get her the cure?" he asked.I shifted my weight to one side, scared of giving him another disappointment."I did, I got the cure for her," I whispered, and before he could ask anything else, I added, "but the people from your pack and other packs were waiting outside the border. They snatched the bottle from me and broke it."As I tried to explain, Ron rolled his eyes as if calling it bullshit."Why was your house key left outside?" he questioned, his hands turning into fists beside his body
Madeline:Of course, I was disgusted by Graham, but the fact that he truly believed I would want him to take care of my daughter made him seem delusional.“As if I would ever want my daughter to go with him.” As soon as I said that, I watched Graham’s face darken."Oh, don't look at me like that. Y
Madeline:The motel room did not smell bad. It seemed they had used air freshener.The bedsheets were clean. It was a small room, but it looked neatly arranged.There was one queen-size bed against the wall and a couch beside it with a window behind it.There was no closet and no carpet.There were
Madeline:The last few minutes had been so shocking for me. I did not know what came over Graham.He came in, accused me of cheating on him, threw harsh words around, and then left.“I am so sorry. I did not think he would take it so wrong,” Alpha Ron remarked.He had come to help me, but now he av
Madeline:I stared at myself in the mirror with my eyes wide open, not even able to blink once.I had never worn anything like this. The gown was long and flowy, something a princess would wear.The bodice was covered with small diamantes that shone whenever the light reflected on them.The sleeves
