130–His Wife’s Accusations
Madeline:
“Is it true, Mommy? Are we Alpha Graham’s children?” Elara asked, and my heart broke for them.
The same man who had not wanted me, who had gone on with his life without looking for me, was now demanding a DNA test and trying to take my children.
If Gina’s test came back positive, as it would, he could take all of them.
How did he think he was helping me by not asking for the tests for the others?
Did he think my identity as a gray wolf mattered more to me than my children?
After they left, I told Baxter how disappointed I was with Graham.
How dare he assume I would be so scared of my identity being revealed that I would let him take
Of course, that would never happen. I would never allow it.
“Don’t worry,” Baxter said, trying to comfort me.
“What can you even do? What will you do now?” I asked tiredly, taking deep and heavy breaths.
We were in the front seat while the kids were strapped in the back, busy with their tablets.
Eventually, they would ask the same questions again.
“Don’t worry. I will find a way,” Baxter said.
my children?
“I’ll go and start working on it,” he whispered. I folded my arms across my chest, feeling the threat in his tone.
“Graham has lost his mind. I’ll get him alone, without his father, and speak with him. I’m pretty sure his father is behind his brainwashing,” Baxter urged as he drove me back home.
I hadn’t been able to speak a word. I was beyond angry at this point.
Graham had really, really disappointed me. I began to wonder if there had been early signs in his friendship that hinted at this behavior.
All I remembered was that he always spoke about not letting go of someone he loved.
He often said he had lost his mother because he hadn’t been attentive enough.
If he fell in love, he would go crazy for that person.
“Can we play in that park for a while?” Elara’s question pulled me back to reality.
“Kids, it’s part of the woods,” I replied tiredly.
“But why can’t we play there? It says ‘park‘ over there,” Elara continued, pointing at a sign.
I turned to Baxter and asked, looking into his eyes, what it was.
“It’s actually mostly for kids who want to learn about werewolves. It’s a theme park of sorts. That’s why it’s in the middle of the woods,” Baxter explained.
He then looked at Elara, who was pouting sadly.

“Why can’t we play at the park

Baxter glanced at me. He stopped the car when she started asking about the park, not wanting to drive past and trigger tears from the kids.
“Why aren’t you saying
Elara then turned to Gina and Bodhi, asking them to join her.
“Mommy, please, can we play in the park?” they added, joining her.
I let out a deep sigh. I really hadn’t been thinking about staying outside.
I just wanted to go home and focus on work.
But with the kids bombarding me with requests, I had no choice but to give in.
“Fine, but only for half an hour,” I relented.
As soon as I said that, the kids cheered, and my mood began to lift.
Baxter parked the car, and one by one, the kids got out. They only had a few balls, so that would be their toys for
now.
The park, however, had plenty of swings and slides with various themes.
The swings were labeled alpha swings. The slides were beta slides, and other structures, like monkey bars, were gamma, or warrior bars.
We all walked in and noticed that the park was crowded.
“It is quite the hotspot,” Baxter commented, staying with us.
“Alpha Baxter,” someone commented from the crowd, immediately noticing him and.
People recognized him and bowed. He simply raised a hand in acknowledgment and then took the kids to the slides.
He stood at one end, catching each child as they slid down.
Meanwhile, I sat on a bench, phone in hand, anxiously staring at Graham’s number.
I needed to speak with him, but I didn’t want to. After what he had done, I wouldn’t have called unless it was absolutely necessary.
“Hello?” I said once he answered my call.
