170–My Guard Attacked My Sister

Madeline:

I stepped out after Mr. Eldon, though I already knew I would not be getting into the same car with him.

When I stopped near his car, I could tell he had sensed it.

“Don’t worry, Baxter is also coming with us,” he told me.

The moment he said that, the guesthouse door opened and Baxter stepped out.

The hair on the back of my neck rose as yesterday’s engagement ceremony flashed in

my

mind.

My heart started pounding harder, but I forced myself to look calm.

“Good morning,” I greeted him.

He looked fresh, as if he had just showered.

“Morning,” he replied with a smile before turning to Mr. Eldon. “What is it? What was the emergency that woke me so early?” he wondered, resting his hands on his waist as he tucked his shirt into his pants and fixed his belt.

“There’s something I want you to see,” Mr. Eldon remarked, giving both of us a look. “Now, are you going to drive, or should I drive?” he asked Baxter.

Baxter shot him a judgmental glare, rolled his sleeves up, grabbed the keys from him, and strolled to the driver’s

seat.

Mr. Eldon moved to the passenger side while I slipped into the back.

I began to wonder if Baxter and Yuvonne shared a room last night.

“Something happened, and I thought you would want to know,” Mr. Eldon told Baxter, who was still adjusting his collar.

“I hope I didn’t disturb your sleep with your newly engaged special mate,” he added.

My fist clenched in secret. Baxter adjusted the rearview mirror, made brief eye contact with me, then settled back into his seat.

“What do you mean by that? We were not sharing a room,” he replied, and while saying it, he threw another quick glance toward me, almost as if making sure I heard him.

“I mean, even if you did, it is fine. She is your fiancée now,” Lord Eldon insisted, repeating himself. “I heard you are marrying her soon. I hope the marking goes well. The attack on her was awful.” He continued focusing oddly on Baxter’s engagement with Yuvonne until he added, “I’m taking you somewhere related to Yuvonne.”

The moment he said that, Baxter turned to him. The glance lasted a little longer than brief.

“What is that supposed to mean?” Baxter asked.

Even my attention sharpened. What did he mean by that?

“You remember the guy who attacked her? We have found him,” he told us.

The moment he said it, Baxter was not the only one who was shocked.

“Really?” I asked, feeling a rush of excitement because justice was finally going to be served.

“Yeah, you will be surprised,” he replied, and I leaned back in my seat.

The way Lord Eldon said it felt strange, but I decided to keep my judgment to myself for now, especially since the site was already in view.

He guided us toward the side of the woods, a little farther from Yuvonne’s home.

I could tell many warriors were wandering around. Several cars were parked there, along with an ambulance and other equipment already set up.

Once the car stopped and we stepped out, I began to feel eyes on me.

There were whispers too, and everyone moved aside for us.

Baxter and I reached the area, and he immediately hurried forward because he could see the man’s face from a distance.

He reached the dead man and pointed at him.

“It is him,” he confirmed, and I briskly reached the spot with Lord Eldon.

However, the moment I did, my reaction was nothing like theirs because I recognized the man too. I almost gasped at the sight.

Even Baxter appeared taken aback. He lifted his head from the corpse and looked at me.

“It is a human,” Baxter remarked, speaking the thought I couldn’t voice.
