Accidentally Pregnant By My Alpha Best friends (Madeline) novel Chapter 222

222–A Dream Come True

Baxter:

The chaos in the hall on the day of her wedding felt so unjust to me.

She stood there in that gown trying to stay steady while everyone stared at her, as if she had done something

wrong.

Seeing her upset broke something inside me. I had already been struggling to breathe while watching her marry

Ron.

It felt like someone was crushing my chest.

So when everything fell apart, I hated myself, because a part of me believed that maybe the silent wish inside me, the one hoping the wedding would stop, had come true.

But I never wanted it to stop like that, not because someone humiliated her.

Whoever broke that news was going to be on my hunt list.

But for now, I watched her stand there alone without a groom.

I did not care about what had happened years ago.

I did not care about what she had told her friend when she was only eighteen.

I was not that boy anymore. She was not that girl anymore.

She was now a woman, the most beautiful bride I had ever seen, the bride I wanted to claim so badly that it hurt to look at her standing alone. 1

“So those words that she said about you do not bother you anymore?” my wolf wondered, not because he wanted to challenge me, but because he wanted to understand what was going on in my head. 1

“I do not care. Forget them. This is my chance. I am not going to miss it,” I replied to my wolf.

Although those words she once said would always stay in my memory, it was not because she had hurt me.

It was because I had been worried she did not want me.

So when she accepted me, something lit inside my chest.

A feeling rushed through me like hot heat. I felt alive in a way I had never felt before.

After I marked her, I pulled back slowly. I had achieved everything.

Making her my mate felt better than becoming alpha of the pack.

I touched her neck with my fingers to clean the little blood.

She was still breathing shakily, staring at me with her beautiful eyes widened.

I could not look away from her, that was how gorgeous she looked.

I had never seen beauty like this up close. For the first time in my life, I felt completely fulfilled.

I felt as if I had achieved everything. I was finally a successful man.

But Lord Eldon grunted from the side.

“For someone who is going to lose his crown, you look very pleased,” he remarked.

And he was not wrong. I wanted to smile even wider and tell him that it was true.

But I kept my gaze on Madeline. She stared back at me with furrowed eyebrows, trying to understand where I was coming from.

Even then, her eyes softened when she met mine again.

It even surprised me that I felt nothing about losing the crown.

Or about losing the luxuries and going to stay in the woods.

That would mean I would have to work from morning until night.

But then I wondered how it would feel to be known as her husband.

To have someone no one else could claim.

Then I finally turned to the guests.

“Do not worry about my mate anymore,” I announced. “I will take her to the woods and I will stay there with her.”

Murmurs broke out instantly. People still looked disappointed.

Yuvonne’s mother stood in the crowd, staring at me as if she searched for an answer.

Her face looked tense, angry, and hurt. Well, it did not matter anymore.

I held Madeline’s hand and noticed that she did not resist this time.

I guided her away from the platform, stepping past the scattered guests and toward the hall outside.

The sound of her gown brushed the floor as it followed behind us.

I turned slightly to check on her and noticed how it flowed with every step.

I watched her hair move back in soft curls.

She looked at me every few steps, as if she wanted to say something but could not find her voice.

At that moment, I began to feel the warmth of her hand.

I wanted to take her fragile body in my arms and do things to her that were unimaginable, things that would bring both of us pleasure, but even as my wife she was still a forbidden fruit for now.

And I wanted to respect every decision she made.

We reached the room where the children waited. The nannies opened the door and moved aside quickly.

They walked out the moment they saw us step inside.

“Mommy, did they hurt you?” Bodhi rushed toward her.

Her eyes turned glossy immediately.

I finally let go of her hand so she could crouch down to her children.

She hugged them tightly. However, at that moment, a strange worry stirred inside

What if she was upset with me?

What if the things she said when she was eighteen were true?

my chest.

What if she still did not want to marry me because she believed I was not man enough?

Sudden guilt hit me when I realized she might have been so miserable that she felt forced to accept a man she thought was not man enough for her.
