26–Catching Me Naked
Madeline:
By the time we arrived, it was already a new day. We had been traveling all night, and my kids had fallen asleep in
the car.
I’d heard it wasn’t safe to stop in any of the rogue areas, so we just kept driving until we finally arrived.
The minute we crossed the border, my heart started pounding in my chest, but I forced a calm expression because I knew my kids were watching me.
“Mommy, are we going to stay at the grandparents‘ house?” Elara asked this time, and I took a deep breath to respond straight forward.
“No, we’ll be staying at a hotel,” I replied and noticed Baxter turning in his seat to look at me.
“Why?” he questioned, making me frown.
“Because I don’t want to,” I hissed, keeping my tone low.
My kids were watching cartoons on their tablets, so I knew they weren’t really paying attention to us anymore.
“They’re your parents, and your kids are asking you, bombarding you with questions, but you’re reluctant. Why?” Baxter continued to press, and I clenched my fists.
“I guess I told you why the other day,” I replied, keeping my calm and biting down on my tongue.
“Yeah, I heard. You said they were asking you to abort the baby,” he mumbled, but I started shaking my head.
“They weren’t asking me to abort the baby,” I corrected him, noticing him turn slightly to question me. “They were going to push me down the stairs to get rid of the baby.”
I finished and turned to watch his face for a reaction, since he wanted to know so badly why.
“Are you sure? Maybe you misunderstood,” he questioned, adjusting his shoulders.
I kept staring at him in disbelief. If he were someone who had just met me, the idea of my parents being that evil might’ve been hard for him to believe.
But Baxter wasn’t new in my life.
He had been around for a while, and he knew the truth. So hearing him ask me that really took me by surprise.
“Well, I’m not going to prove myself to you, Baxter. But I’m also not going to stay with them,” I said, turning my head away.
This time, when I folded my arms over my chest, my fists were clenched tight.
I wished I could open my heart to him and show how blackened it was because of them and everyone else around.
But finally, we were there.
The alpha of the pack was waiting. He had been informed of my arrival, and I’d heard he was pretty excited to see
ΠΡ.
Alpha Ron.
I remembered him from before. Back then, he’d been cold toward me, like he was with any other omegas,
but he

never bullied me the way others did..
He just kept his distance, busy with the cheerleaders and lils other shenanigans.
As I stepped out of the car, I saw Alpha Ron move forward.

This time, he looked really good, wearing a gray salt, looking fresh, with his warriors standing around him, holding bouquets for my arrival,
“Madeline Sawyer,” he greeted with a smile, already knowing who I was. “I can’t believe such a gem came from my pack.”
That was how his instincts responded to me. At least he didn’t act rudely toward my arrival like the others had
It was kind of shocking that my own friends were upset to see me, but he didn’t look upset at all.
“Alpha Ron. How are you?” I greeted, accepting the bouquet from him.
“As good as I can be. How do I look?” he asked, spreading his arms so I could get a full look at him.
I had to admit, he’d grown more confident, and flirtatious.
But just like everyone else who hadn’t paid attention to me before, once I got hot, suddenly everyone noticed.
“Oh, I see you brought your kids with you. I didn’t know you were married,” Ron continued to flirt, smiling at my children as they stepped forward to introduce themselves.
While they did, Baxter finally approached me from the side,
“Don’t forget you’re married. Don’t go flirting around.”
It was a subtle comment he threw at me before walking ahead to greet Ron.
He didn’t even give me a chance to respond.
I didn’t like it.
He had no reason to remind me how I should act or behave, but I kept quiet and swallowed my anger.
We were taken to the hotel suite where I was going to stay, and I noticed Baxter’s room was right next to mine. to play, and I noticed Baxter’s room was right next to mine.

It was already late when we arrived, and I didn’t want to stay at Alpha Ron’s mansion for dinner.
My kids were fussy, and I knew they needed some quiet time.
So I took them to the suite, ordered food, and once they were done eating, I put them to bed.
Then I took a shower, wrapped myself in a bathrobe, and stepped out to have a glass of wine while looking out the big window.

Sitting on the comfortable chair with the glass in my hand, I found myself lost in
Flashback
“Tell me, come on, don’t be like this,” Baxter said as we sat under the big purple autumn tree.
It was a beautiful tree with autumn leaves that were all shades of purple, some lavender, some darker.
The gentle wind would blow them around us and over us, and we loved it.

“I don’t know what you want to know,” I tried to divert the topic while focusing on my sandwich.
We used to come here for little picnics, and it was always Baxter’s idea.
