124–Spiked Their Wine
Nina:
Ever since Sawyer left, I had been feeling dull and low, and it had only been hours.
This time, though, it gave me a very bad feeling.
Most of the time, it seemed like he wasn’t even interested in me.
Even when I initiated anything, he didn’t really participate.
The other night, when he arrived and needed a bed, he came into my room and asked me to sleep on the couch.
Eventually, in the middle of the night, I did manage to seduce him, but we only did a few things before he told me he was tired.
When he went to bed, it really bothered me.
Now I had to watch Madeline move around as if she were the only person capable of capturing his attention.
Not only had he married her, which I didn’t think he was capable of doing with anyone, but he also made her feel special in ways he had claimed he never could for anyone.
The emergency landed on me. I saw all the alphas around Madeline and wondered why she needed him on top of them.
Couldn’t she marry one of the other alphas?
Then I remembered that they already had someone in their lives.
“Ron doesn’t,” My wolf snapped, and I began to nod. 2
“Right, why would she stay in a relationship when it would be such a long–distance one, and she knew Sawyer would start sleeping around with other women?” I hissed, letting my wolf know I agreed that Madeline should marry someone from the wolf land.
“Oh, that wouldn’t be good. He could only be with one other woman. If he slept with someone else, he would abandon us, which, I could see, had already happened because he seemed bored with us this time.” As my wolf reminded me of his distant behavior, my breath hitched.
“No, don’t say that.” I couldn’t even imagine my life without him.
I reached for the kitchen counter and slapped my hands on it. Worried and stressed, “what could I do now?” I asked her.
“Try to make yourself seem more loyal to Sawyer than Madeline,” my wolf whispered, and I nodded.
Then I grabbed my phone and opened my email to send Sawyer a message.
“I bet it was clever of you to deny being in contact with him,” my wolf admitted.
I nodded anxiously.
I was the one who had told Sawyer what was happening here.
He used to call me his guard. I was one of the guards relaying information from the werewolf land.
Even when I had kept some information to myself, hoping Madeline might become friends with me, I had

changed my mind.
I didn’t need to protect her. She didn’t need saving. She already had too many people around her doing that.
I typed the subject line: Your Wife is Cheating on You. Then I began the email.
Hello Sawyer,
I hope you have reached home safely. I just wanted to let you know what’s going on here. There is a cursed storm attacking people, throwing things around, hitting them, even killing them. We are all stuck in one place.
Earlier, your wife left in urgency through the storm, reaching the guesthouse. She stayed there for about an hour, then returned with Baxter, who was shielding her with his body. Now she is claiming that he will stay here because she doesn’t want him to go out and get hurt.
I’m sorry to say this, but I feel like something is going on, not only between her and Baxter but also between her and Alpha Ron. They had taken walks together before, and it seems he sometimes plays the hero for her.
I hit the send button and took a deep breath and began preparing a meal for them. I prepared something that none of the kids were allowed to drink, wine. After the meal, I planned to offer them wine, not just any wine, but a very special one. After that, when they made mistakes, I would be the one to record it and send it to Sawyer.
I closed my eyes, trying to convince myself that I wasn’t making a mistake, that I was doing everything right because it had to be done.
Madeline needed to get out of my way for Sawyer to give me his full attention, and even if I had to stoop low, I was going to do it all for him.
After I prepared the meal, I went out again to let them know.
At this point, I could tell that Baxter was extremely tired.
He sat on the couch alone, arms spread, body leaning back, neck stretched, eyes closed.
