Accidentally Pregnant By My Alpha Best friends (Madeline) novel Chapter 176

176–He Is Leaving His Kids Behind

Madeline:

I reached for it and stared at the fresh council seal on top.

I stepped backward into the living room and opened the file.

The warriors stayed at the doorway while I pulled the papers out.

The first page shook in my grip. My stomach dropped.

It was an order stating that every human guard I had brought from the human land was being sent back and was not allowed to return.

I swallowed hard, because it meant a lot more than it looked.

I went through the pages. It was a new deal.

As a werewolf and part of this pack, I was supposed to help with the cure for the children, and in return they would give me a large amount of money.

But all the other conditions I had set about the kids, the human guards, Nína, and even my husband, had been

revoked.

A heavy feeling settled inside me.

First my husband left, then Nina left, and now all the humans around me were being removed.

I knew I was no longer a human, but this journey had been meant to be temporary. Now it felt like a cage.

I had been staring at the papers so hard that I did not notice someone else had come out of his room.

“Morning,” Elgin greeted.

I snapped my head up, and from the way he looked at me, I could tell he sensed something was wrong.

His hair was wet, and droplets were still sliding down his face as he ran his fingers through his hair.

He wore blue jeans and a white shirt.

The fabric stretched slightly over his muscular biceps and chest, and some droplets had landed on the shirt, so parts of his abs were faintly visible.

He stopped when he noticed the way I was hesitating to speak.

“What is it?” he asked, picking up his pace toward me.

“They are sending everyone back, every human that came with me,” I said in a shaky tone. “Elgin, it feels like they are ripping away every person I knew in the last five years.”

I sounded like I was about to cry, and Elgin noticed.

He frowned and took the file from me.

For a moment his fingers brushed against mine, and even though he had just taken a shower, his fingers were warmer than

my

cold hands.

I stood still, shocked by what I was learning.

He checked the papers quickly before clenching his jaw.

The warriors must have noticed the shift in his expression. He snapped his head toward them and glared.

“Your highness, it is the order from the council. We have nothing to do with it,” the warrior explained before Elgin could question him.

Elgin handed the file back to me and adjusted his pants.

“Madeline, get the kids ready. We will go and speak with the council ourselves,” he advised.

I nodded and hurried toward the children’s room. They were still sleeping.

The curtains were drawn, and I knew I should not wake them up so suddenly, but it was important.

“Come on, Gina, Elara, Bodhi, wake up, baby,” I said gently, keeping my voice steady. “We need to get ready and go somewhere.”

I opened the curtains, and light filled the room. Bodhi sat up first, rubbing his eyes with both fists.

“Are we going to the playground or a park?” he asked in a sleepy voice.

“We have something urgent to take care of first,” I answered while pulling the blanket off his legs.

Elara sat up next, her hair sticking out in several directions, her lips pouty.

“What urgent thing? Is it somebody’s wedding again?” she asked in her small voice.

“No, it is mommy’s work,” I replied, lifting Gina into my arms because she was still half asleep.

She rested her cheek on my shoulder right away.

I guided them to the bathroom, steadying Bodhi when he stumbled.

“Brush your teeth and wash your face quickly,” I instructed while taking out their small toothbrushes and squeezing toothpaste on each one.

“I am going to prepare the breakfast, and then we will leave,” Elgin said as he walked in, letting me know what he was doing.

“You know, Elgin, we should not waste time. How about we take the breakfast with us? They can eat it in the car,” I suggested while helping the kids wash up.

He nodded and walked out.

I quickly pulled out their new clothes and helped them change before guiding them out of the room.

The warriors were still outside, probably wondering why we were taking so long.

“Come on, everyone,” I told the kids as Elgin and I rushed out of the house.

“You can leave. We are headed to the council ourselves,” Elgin said to the warriors.

Since he was an alpha, they did not argue, which was pretty obvious.

As we stepped into Elgin’s car, I saw Silver come out with Hailey and Hannah.

They looked like they were rushing toward us. I opened my mouth to speak.

“I think your kids want to…” I started, but Elgin raised his hand to stop me.

“I let Silver know we are in a hurry,” he said.

When he started the car, I noticed the way his kids‘ lips dropped.

A little guilt settled in my chest for taking him away, but he was stubborn. He would not stop even if I asked him
