LOGINMadeline:Her question was bizarre, but also frightening because how could an ordinary woman living in the human world know about a gray wolf?Usually, even werewolves consider it a myth.That was until I transitioned and they realized that, yeah, it really did exist.So how could some random woman ask me that question the first time she met me?"Who are you?" I asked her immediately."Wait, Mother, why would you ask that question?" Livia intervened, pointing at me as she placed a hand on her mother's shoulder.Her mother turned to her daughter, took her hand off her shoulder, and held it between both of hers."Answer me. Is your wolf gray?" the woman asked me again, still holding her daughter's hand as tears started to fall from her eyes."No," I replied confidently."Don't lie to me. Tell me," she insisted, looking down and closing her eyes.I didn't know why, but seeing her cry made me feel strange, like I didn't want to see her cry like that.But why was she asking me such persona
Madeline:I was comfortable in her home, and I confidently sat down on the couch.I expected us to sit down and have a civilized discussion.I didn't want to come across as a threat to herBut somehow, with the way the world was now, everyone had started fearing one another.Whenever someone asked a question, it felt as though they were going to punish you if you didn't answer, blackmail you, threaten you, or even torture you.So I understood why Livia was so concerned.The problem was, I needed to know that if she had a wolf?And how had she managed to keep herself safe here?A thousand questions were running through my mind.Then an older woman came out of the room, calling out to Livia so lovingly.Livia also kept referring to her as her mother.But there was something in that woman's eyes.I didn't know why, but my heart suddenly sank.The moment our eyes met, I wanted to know more, but I was forced out of the apartment.And to be honest, I still would have stayed.I hadn't chased
Livia:"What is going on with you? I called for you," my mother complained, holding a small bag in her hand as she packed her medicine for the trip."Why are you sweating?" my mother asked, reaching for my forehead.I stepped back from her and turned my head toward Madeline.I didn't know why, but Madeline looked shocked, or maybe just lost."Mother," I uttered, keeping my eyes on Madeline.My mother followed my gaze, and I heard her gasp."That's the president's wife," I said, pointing at Madeline.However, my mother was eerily silent, far more silent than I'd expected her to be.I'd expected her to immediately ask Madeline to leave or be afraid that the president's wife was here to cause us trouble.I looked at my mother and then back at Madeline before stepping between them to shield my mother from her view."Please, I'd ask you to leave. If you have any questions, I'll come to the office tomorrow and answer them," I told Madeline as she slowly got up from the couch.There was a li
Livia:I didn't know what had happened, but Madeline had suddenly started questioning me about all sorts of things, more specifically about the monster.I should have known that, unlike Baxter or anybody else, Madeline would have a different approach to everything.I'd heard about her before, about how she always, always sorted things out.But she could multitask, which was why, even while dealing with Kaylee, looking for her child, fixing her home, her marriage, and her relationships, and taking care of the daughter she'd thought was dead, she somehow found the time to question me about the monster.And I dipped.I hated how I'd run from there. Because what was the point? Even if I ran away today, I'd have to face her tomorrow.I couldn't just leave my werewolf home behind. She was a president's wife, and now was working with her husband in business too.Of course, where would I go?I didn't know. Maybe I just wanted to buy myself some time.By the time I left for home, I'd already c
Baxter:With every step I took, I felt my heartbeat quicken.Every little thing started hitting me all at once.How was it possible that I had cheated on Madeline?I mean, okay, if someone was being abused, of course I would have helped her.But how could I have gotten romantically involved with her and betrayed Madeline like that?And then there was what my wolf had said about Madeline keeping that woman locked up because she was jealous of her, or because Kaylee had tried to take me away from her.That didn’t feel right to me.Although Madeline had told Nina that she would kill her, that had come from pure love, not vengeance or hatred.Madeline wasn’t like that.As I thought about all of it, my wolf scoffed inside my head.“And how would you know what she’s like? You don’t have your memories.”The minute he said that, I clenched my jaw so hard that I heard my teeth grind against each other.Then I stepped onto the last stair and saw her.The woman sat in the corner, hugging her kne
Baxter:Madeline had left the office with Livia right in front of me.Before she left, she hinted that I had some kind of history with the woman in the basement, and my mind immediately started reeling.“I need to know more about Kaylee,” I insisted to my wolf.It wasn’t that I was interested because I wanted to know whether Kaylee and I had ever been romantically involved.I mean, the way Madeline had bluntly hinted at it, that seemed like a possibility, and I did not want that.So I wanted my wolf to confirm whether we had done something as disgusting as cheating on Madeline.But my wolf remained silent, his mouth completely zipped.“Come on, Axe. Tell me at least a little bit. What do we know about Kaylee?” I asked, getting angry with him.After a few minutes of silence, Axe let out a deep breath and finally uttered, “We had an affair with her.”The minute I heard that, I dropped into the chair and wrapped my hands around my head.I felt like crushing my skull at that moment.Danie
Madeline:We reached a shallow stream tucked between rocks and surrounded by tall grass and trees.The water was clear enough that we could see fish drifting near the surface and darting through the darker patches.My kids started to jump up and down, pointing toward the fish and clapping their han
Madeline:“I know I shouldn't have done that. I wish I hadn’t. Now I’ve lost everything. And he has the videos. I know he will come back to blackmail me again,” Yuvonne cried.I was shocked by everything she had been telling me. I reached for her hand and squeezed it."It was not your fault," I mur
Madeline:"Yuvonne? What are you saying?" I asked, my voice rising.At that point, I could no longer pretend it was not a big deal. She was crying and shaking her head uncontrollably. At times, she even scratched her arms."Yuvonne? I’m asking you. Tell me if it’s true. Did he fucking push you?" I
Graham:Everything went well. We decided that the next morning we would go to the council.We would tell them there was a video and that Yuvonne had given me a blowjob after drugging me.But the moment I went into the guest room, Kaylee rushed after me and hugged me from behind."What the fuck, Kay
