Accidentally Pregnant By My Alpha Best friends (Madeline) novel Chapter 220

220–I Suddenly Have A Groom

Madeline:

As he said that, Lady Abigail straightened and narrowed her eyes at him, while Yuvonne swallowed hard.

Her eyes showed she had not expected that from him. I had not expected it either.

“So what do you mean? Are you going to keep the three children?” Lady Abigail asked Baxter, since others were also wondering what his statement meant.

Baxter turned to look at me and reached for my hand again.

This time he not only held my wrist but pulled me so close that one of my hands landed on his chest for balance, startling me.

As he faced the crowd again, I was forced to look at them too to see their reactions.

They were all waiting to hear what he would say next.

“Yes, and I am going to marry Madeline,” he announced loud and clear.

I swear he must have noticed how my body shook because he held me so close.

My head snapped toward him, though I could only see his side profile because he faced the audience.

He did not look like he was doing this out of force or emotion.

He seemed confident.

“Baxter, what are you saying?” Yuvonne’s voice pulled me out of my thoughts, and I turned to her, watching her look at him with a broken smile.

The cocky look she had carried earlier was long gone.

“You do realize what you are trying to say, right, Alpha Baxter?” Lady Abigail asked in a stern tone, clearly unhappy that he had shifted the attention to himself.

“Yeah, I know. You’ll kick me out of the pack. Do it. Take my crown. Give it to a donkey for all I care. I am marrying her,” Baxter declared even louder this time.

Some of the guests began pulling out their phones to capture the moment when an alpha was ready to throw away his crown for a woman everyone had been speaking so badly about,

“Baxter, no,” I whispered, unable to speak any louder.

I looked at the crowd, and their expressions showed pure shock like mine.

People leaned toward each other, whispering that a powerful alpha had just thrown away his title to live in the woods.

When my eyes landed on Yuvonne again, I noticed she was hot moving.

She stared at Baxter with a stiff smile that did not look real.

Her eyebrows lifted slightly, as if she did not understand what had just happened.

Then she looked at her mother, raising her hand a little to point at Baxter with a trembling finger.

“Mom, look, what is he saying?” she uttered, but others were no longer paying attention to her.

“That is not possible. You are marrying me.” She pulled herself together enough to point at her chest. “The cards have been sent out. All the preparations are done.” She cried out loudly, the same woman who had been watching me tear up while smirking was now in tears.

My eyes moved toward Silver and Kaylee. They had shifted closer to each other, their shoulders were almost touching.

They whispered with wide eyes, acting as if they had not expected this turn of events.

However, they looked awkward and embarrassed by the twist that had followed.

Even Ron was staring at me, but I was too confused to understand why Baxter was doing this.

Baxter then turned toward me as Lord Eldon stepped onto the platform again.

“Are you sure, young lad?” Lord Eldon asked, placing a hand on Baxter’s shoulder. “You have potential. You have a pack that relies on you. You are ready to throw it all away because of your emotions. You do not have to do this.”

However, Baxter brushed his hand off firmly.

“Do not speak to me anymore,” Baxter warned him. “Do not speak to me with the same mouth you are babbling nonsense toward my mate.”

The stand Baxter was taking was too much for anyone to absorb.

Before more words could be exchanged, even Graham and Elgin hurried toward the platform.

Their steps were brisk, as if they wanted to stop their friend before he made a mistake.

They seemed offended as they positioned themselves near Baxter, not even looking at me.

“Have you lost your mind, Baxter?” Graham questioned with a frustrated tone.

“You have a perfectly fine fiancée sitting in the crowd. What are you doing?” He nearly raised his voice at Baxter.

“And you already will get the kids. You can have them. You do not have to ruin your life by marrying Madeline. She can survive in the woods. She has survived in the human world before,” Elgin added, raising his hand as if he needed Baxter to calm down.

I was surprised by how strongly the two of them objected to the idea of anyone giving me shelter.

“And besides, your mother will be devastated,” Elgin hissed at him.

Baxter looked at both of them with a blank stare.

Honestly, I expected him to think it through and step back.

It would not be unreasonable. Leaving a crown was actually too much.

“Step back,” he told the two of them. “Two alphas talking to a rogue does not sound good,” he taunted.

His friends shared a glance and then looked at him in disbelief.
