Baxter:

“I spoke with my mother,” Yuvonne said taking deep, heavy breaths as if trying to calm herself.

I noticed a few things about her right away. One was the giant handprint on her cheek.

I worried for her immediately, but she was telling me something, and I wanted to focus on that first.

“And?” I asked her while shoving my hands into my pants pockets.

The way she sniffled and started to break down made me want to comfort her, but I stopped when she showed me her palm.

“It was my father,” she confessed.

Even I could not believe what I was hearing.

“I spoke with my father, and he told me he had taken her phone and responded to everyone,” She uttered in a soft tone, taking heavy breaths and kept sniffing back tears.

“So your father fooled me?” I asked.

As soon as I said it, she hugged herself and began to cry.

“He said he had a reason,” she replied in a trembling voice.

“What could be the reason to fool an alpha, to act like his daughter in front of an alpha?” I almost yelled. I had not even stepped into her home.

I wanted to speak with her outside and then decide what to do.

When I arrived, I asked her to come outside, and now we were standing on the front porch.

I knew the neighbors could hear me, so I lowered my voice.

“What reason?” I repeated.

“He was embarrassed,” she answered. “He said his daughter had gotten pregnant, and there was a man texting her, telling her that whoever the baby belonged to, he would accept. Which meant his daughter had slept with more than one man.” She paused to wipe her cheeks. “And Baxter, before you judge my father, I know he did wrong. But you cannot expect him to react calmly to it. This is the world you alphas have created for women,‘ Yuvonne hissed as she accused me instead.

Her face turned red while she tried to fight back her tears.

“What does it have to do with us?” I asked, pointing at my chest.

“You made the rules. We are women. If a woman sleeps with anyone who is not her mate, she will be punished. So I am sorry if my father was scared, not only for himself but for his daughter, who had gotten herself in trouble. Madeline went through a lot. And now I am finding out that she texted all of you, and you all used her and left her.” She covered her face and began to cry, and guilt started to rise inside me.

“We did not use her,” I replied, but she turned to me sharply and glared.

“You sent her messages saying what you told her earlier was not true. She does not know, but what you told her before is what stayed in her memory. You, my father, all of you. You judged her. Now I am realizing she had no

fault. She was just…”

She stopped speaking so she could take a large hiccup.

The door opened and her father rushed out, and I noticed the way she flinched.

“It is true. I did. I did text you,” he told me. “Why? What did you expect me to not text you, huh?” He stepped out looking angry.

“Do you know lying to an alpha and impersonating someone else in front of him is a crime?” I asked him.

“If he was not an elderly man and Madeline and Yuvonne’s father, he would have caught my fist by now.” The thought crossed my mind.

“And using an eighteen–year–old girl and then leaving her when she is not your mate is not?” her father replied, striking me with a harsh truth.

I could have told him she was my mate, but it would not have changed anything.

She had not been my mate back then.

“I did what I thought I had to do. She was already gone, so I had to give the impression that there was no baby,” He hissed.

“And of course I was stern with you,” he continued, “because I found out that the man who might have gotten my daughter pregnant did not try to take responsibility right away. So yes, I was angry, as any father would be.” He spoke in a sharp tone before adding, “And to think my daughter was already gone. I was losing my mind, and then I was getting these kinds of messages. What did you expect me to say? That was my attempt to stop the rumors from spreading one last time. And it worked. Nobody knew she ran away because she was pregnant until now.”

He grunted and gave me a hard look.

“You are lucky, young man, that I am even allowing the hand of my other daughter,” he remarked. “Because it does not seem like you deserve any of my daughters.”

He said this as he grabbed Yuvonne’s arm to pull her toward the room.

“And if you want to marry her, then make a decision. Do not use her and leave her as well,” he warned.
