Accidentally Pregnant By My Alpha Best friends (Madeline) novel Chapter 255

255–The Damsel In Distress In His Arms

Madeline:

Baxter came back carrying a woman who was probably the same age as us.

The moment my eyes landed on her, I felt my heartbeat rise. She was in a very bad state.

She was crying hysterically and constantly talking about how scared she was that they would come back.

It took us a few minutes to calm her down.

However, I could tell she was much more comfortable with me being around her than Baxter, and I completely understood why.

We did not get to ask her many questions. Instead, I put her under the shelter.

She could barely sleep, but eventually she rested. We had a few sheets that we used to cover ourselves.

Most of the time, my kids wore all kinds of warm clothes before going to bed because we did not have blankets or anything else here.

So I had her wear my sweater, and she finally rested.

“Is she okay?” Baxter asked as I stepped out of the shelter.

“She’s sleeping for now, but Baxter, I’m scared,” I told him, and my voice shook as well.

He stared at me for a moment, and I realized that, of course, he was going to ignore me because he thought I was a horrible person.

“You know what? Forget it,” I muttered.

“Hey,” he remarked as he suddenly grabbed my hand, and it was the first time in probably a few days that he had held me like that.

“You don’t have to worry about it. Before anyone even gets close to you, they will meet their demise,” he added confidently.

Then I slowly wriggled my hand out of his grasp, not because I was still angry with him, but because the moment he touched me, feelings began to rise inside me.

“I guess I forgot how scary the rogue community could be,” I said softly, taking a deep and heavy breath.

“What are we going to do with her? She seems pretty traumatized,” I added, watching Baxter rub his chin.

“First, we need to know from her what happened and who did it. If she has any idea, if she could recognize any of those people. What if they were the ones who were kicked out of the pack along with her? Or if they were completely unknown people she found in the woods. Then we will see where to go from there,” he replied.

“Of course we cannot keep her with us, Madeline,” he added quickly once he noticed I was about to open my mouth to suggest something. 1

“What if she has nowhere to go?” I asked, watching him shrug.

“Well then, I will hope that she finds a safe place,” Baxter stated, causing me to stare at his face in disbelief.

“Madeline, have you not learned anything from helping that family?” he commented softly.

“But this is a different case. She is alone, and you saw the condition she is in,” I mumbled, keeping my voice low because we were sitting very close to the shelter, close enough that I could look inside and see my children and her.

“I understand your sentiments, but Madeline, we will let her heal and then set her on her way. She will have to leave eventually,” he added, making a small hand gesture.

“And you need to rest too.”

As soon as he said that, I watched him with my hands on my waist.

“You have not slept once since we left the motel, Baxter. You need to rest,” I told him, noticing how he had been making small plans on the ground with a stick, most likely thinking about what work he would start in the morning.

He seemed very hardworking. I did not know much about him, but I had not expected him to be such a hard worker.1

It seemed like he was going to build us a home very soon.

“Then how about we do this? I’ll sleep for two hours, then you wake me up, and then you go to sleep,” he stated, and I gave him a small nod.

I did not plan to wake him up anytime soon. Once he went to bed, he was staying there. I would let him sleep the whole night.

“Okay,” I replied confidently.

Finally, he started to make a place for himself next to the fire.

However, I sat on the log, watching him get comfortable. It felt so odd to see him like this.
