ログインMadeline:I had walked out of the cabin and sat by the road, watching the livestream with a smile on my lips.If only Byron were awake.If only Baxter were sitting beside me.If only I had all three of my children in my lap.We would have enjoyed this skit so much.I watched the entire thing before opening the comment section, and somehow, it was even better.The comments did not disappoint.Everyone was laughing at Elgin, calling him clueless.Many people even brought up Elara and the fact that he had never truly accepted her.All the while, he had been raising someone else's children.I lowered my head and put my phone down, taking a deep breath.A moment later, the screen lit up again."Hello?" I answered."Well, it worked," Mathew said and I smiled."Thank you," I replied. "Thank you for the help."I was genuinely grateful.The people I had never expected to become my friends were the ones who had surprised me the most.Mathew had supported me, and this entire skit would never hav
Elgin:"Say something," she whispered.However, there was something in her eyes that told me she wasn't telling the truth."Silver, I am warning you. Tell me the truth."I was on the verge of breaking down."What is going on? Is Daddy not our daddy?" Hailey asked, and my heart started to crumble."No, that's not true. He is your father," Silver quickly told the girls before looking back at me."You can't possibly do this to us. Everybody is watching. Our daughters are watching. How can you demand another test? How do you know they didn't mess up the results?"She pointed toward the crowd."The fact that they secretly did the test—doesn't that tell you they were trying to create a rift between us?"For a moment, even I hesitated."Then let's go," I said. "We'll get another test right now and wait for the results."I grabbed Silver by the arm and started dragging her away.Her father tried to stop me, but I wasn't going to stop."Is it true? Really? Alpha Elgin has no clue his wife has
Elgin:Everything had been going so well. We were performing well, too.There were a few moments when I lost focus, especially when I looked into Hailey's eyes while she delivered her lines.The pain in her voice unsettled me. I would never treat her differently from Hannah.Then, for the briefest moment, I thought about Elara.I immediately pushed the thought away.I didn't need to feel guilty for her.Her mother had wronged me, and Elara had chosen Baxter as her father.But then something else happened.Everyone's eyes were fixed on the papers, scanning them carefully.“What is going on? It must be a misprint. The reports are fake anyway,” I grunted, snatching the papers and rolling my eyes.However, the teacher with the glasses, the one who had planned this skit, suddenly walked onto the stage, rubbing her hands anxiously.“Everybody listen to her. She's going to tell you it was a fake report and the script got messed up," Silver spoke up first.The crowd immediately burst into lau
Silver:Everything was perfect.Everyone had treated us so well, and now it was finally our turn.Elgin had changed into his costume.We were dressed as old people, whereas our daughters were dressed as mature adults.One was dressed as a lawyer, and the other as a doctor.Now we were on stage, and the performance was going great.Everybody was cheering so loudly for us.I noticed the eyes on us. People seemed so intimidated by us.Hailey, dressed as a doctor, stepped forward while Elgin and I sat on a chair, holding hands.Our hair had been dyed white with temporary dye to make us look old.Hailey looked at us with a frown."You don't care for me as much as you care for Hannah," she complained, looking adorable while trying to deliver a mature speech."That is not true," I replied, delivering my line.Everybody cheered once again.It was as if everyone wanted to stay in my good books because they knew I was the person closest to Elgin.If they ever needed a favour from him, I would p
Elara:I used to see my mama, my daddy, and my two siblings in my dreams.They would tell me how happy they were together, and that I was the only one left behind.One day, I woke up crying and made the mistake of thinking about my father.Not my real father.My fake father.The one who had told me to call him Daddy, or the monster would come and take me away.I only wanted to ask him to take me back to my mama.I wanted to beg him not to send the monster after us. But he got angry.He treated me horribly.The way he grabbed my neck and squeezed my throat terrified me.He scared me more than I could put into words.After that, I couldn't cry in front of him anymore.I just went silent.Sitting on my bed, I curled into myself until I was nothing more than a small ball.I wanted my mama.I wanted to go home.I wanted to be with my daddy Baxter.My daddy was the best.Then Uncle Elgin left, Aunt Rosetta came into the room."What happened to you?" Aunt Rosetta asked."Why are you crying l
Elgin:"Are you talking about the same Madeline everyone calls the Savior?" she asked, looking genuinely confused."Well, she's not just a savior. She does a lot of fucked-up shit."I grew impatient, irritated by the way Rosetta spoke so highly of her."I don't know," Rosetta replied. "Just because she had babies with you and your friends doesn't make her a whore. I'm just saying that all of you were equally involved. You knew she was with someone else, so why would you–"She trailed off and shook her head."Anyway, just go and calm Elara down. And please be gentle with her. She's only a child."It was the first time I had seen Rosetta look so disappointed in me.For a moment, I wondered if I had made a mistake by using those words when talking about Madeline."I will be," I replied with a smile, trying to do some damage control.But the moment I walked into the living room, I hurried toward the room Rosetta had prepared for Elara after letting her sleep in her own bed for a day.The
Byron:“I meant it, I don't want someone else to intervene and become a hurdle.” 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,“So basically my blood will be used for some ritual,” I explained.“What is in it for y
Madeline:Sometimes life becomes extremely unfair to some people.I used to hear about people who were born with bad luck, and I used to wonder how true it was, until I realized I was one of those people.As if it was not enough that my daughter had been snatched from me, my dear husband, the man I
Madeline:That night, as I went to sleep, I felt strangely full of energy. It felt as if I was waiting to wake up to good news. I knew it was not possible.First, we had to summon the monster, and only then could we search. Still, I had a strong feeling that I was going to meet my husband and my da
Elgin:He tilted his head slightly and held my gaze, the wind brushing through his hair as he left the rest unsaid on purpose.“She’ll need our help,” he added. “For Baxter to be treated in the hospital, she’ll need us.”His eyes stayed on mine, unblinking. It felt like we were circling something f
