Accidentally Pregnant By My Alpha Best friends (Madeline) novel Chapter 224

224–I Fell In My Own Trap

Yuvonne:

I watched Baxter walk away from me without reacting to my breakdown.

Not once did he look back or hold me in his arms.

Not once did he try to explain his actions to me.

My tears stopped for a moment as I turned to my mother in disbelief.

She stood still with her lips pressed tightly together.

Then I turned to my father, who stepped closer and placed a hand on my head as if I were a little girl who needed

comfort.

I did not need anything but Baxter.

“We should leave now,” my mother uttered, reaching for my arm. “Right now he seems too emotional. He is stuck in his hero syndrome to save his mate. He will come around once he goes into the woods and realizes he has lost not just his crown but all the luxuries that came with it.” Her voice was calm, as if she believed everything she said.

I pulled my arm away from her and shook my head wildly.

“No, that is not what I expected,” I cried, rubbing both my hands over my face. “I wanted Madeline to be embarrassed. I wanted her wedding day to be remembered as a bad memory. But I never thought the council would stop her from marrying Ron and push her into going rogue.” I complained because this was not how I expected my plan to go.

“That is why you were supposed to let things happen on their own,” my mother replied in a firm tone. “Why did you have to intervene?” she hissed at me.

“Because I set the trap for her, not for myself, but then I fell into it,” I cried louder.

My mind went back to Kaylee and Silver.

I remembered how relieved they looked, as if everything had worked out perfectly for them.

And it had.

Their husbands rejected Madeline, and now Madeline was pushed even farther from their sight by being sent into the woods.

They got everything they wanted. While I was left without my mate. 2

I took out my phone and tried to call them, but neither of them responded.

Each call went silent after being cut off. My chest felt heavy and my breath grew shaky with anxiety.

I looked around and began to walk back toward the hall, moving briskly.

“You will not cause any more drama, just stop,” my mother warned me, coming after me quickly to grab my wrist. “Do not make more mistakes.”

“I just want to speak with them,” I uttered, pulling my hand free. “Just once,” I requested.

Before she could pull me back again, I hurried into the hall. All the eyes turned to me.

Some looked at me with sad, sympathetic expressions, because they knew my husband had openly declared war on everyone by choosing a whore’s daughter over tne.

I felt so belittled.

Silver and Kaylee stood near one of the decorated tables, eating quietly.

Their mates were sitting nearby.

Elgin and Graham looked uncomfortable, staring down at their plates as if they were embarrassed or shocked that what they could not do, their friend had done.

The moment I started to walk toward Silver and Kaylee, I straightened up.

I could tell they were preparing for whatever I was about to say.

“I need your support,” I requested, lowering my voice but not the urgency. “Please, I need to speak with both of you.”

“Not right now,” Silver whispered, glancing around to make sure the council leaders were not listening. “There are too many eyes on us,” she warned me. 2

The coldness from her stung. They had never spoken to me like that before.

They used to answer me instantly, acting as if we were best friends.

Now they did not even ask how I was after my mate married someone else in front of everyone.

“Fine,” I muttered, clasping my hands together and pulling myself together. “Then when can we meet? I really need my friends with me.” My voice still came out broken.
