Accidentally Pregnant By My Alpha Best friends (Madeline) novel Chapter 297

297–Burning Deep Within

Elgin:

We had arrived with our wives in the car. Of course, Graham insisted that his wife not come out. Meanwhile, I let my beautiful silver walk the trail with me.

My kids were in the car as well. We were having a great time, but the moment I reached the door, my mood began

to sour.

They had managed to find themselves a better–looking home in the rogue community, and that bothered me.

It was a sturdy–looking cabin. Who the fuck left this cabin here for them? It felt like they did not even have to work hard to find a place.

If I had known earlier, I would have torn down this cabin before they took it over.

But the damage was already done. They were living there as if they had achieved something.

When Graham knocked on the door, Baxter and Madeline answered. Honestly, seeing the two of them together made me scoff.

I noticed how Madeline quickly scanned both of us. Of course she did. Her husband stood beside her in old clothes and a torn shirt, while we looked like models.

could only imagine how guilty she must have felt for not having us in her life.

“What are you doing here?” Baxter repeated.

I did not even want to look at Madeline, but it was not entirely possible to ignore her. We had a history.

Still, I was uneasy because Silver was watching me closely. There were children present, and that made things

worse.

When Graham and I did not respond, Silver spoke instead.

“And who the fuck are you?” Baxter demanded, his tone sharp enough to make my fist clench.

“She’s my wife,” I told him, standing straight and meeting his gaze, giving her the respect she deserved.

Baxter questioned it anyway. Of course, he knew she was my wife. There was something about his arrogance that kept him from behaving properly, even for a moment.

“We need to speak with Madeline,” Graham finally said.

Baxter tilted his head, one hand resting on the doorframe as he studied us. He stepped aside and turned to Madeline.

“Should we hear them out?” he asked her.

She nodded. I noticed how her hand reached for Graham’s elbow and touched it lightly.

It was a casual gesture, meant to signal that they should step outside. Still, that touch stunned me. I froze for a

moment.

Why the fuck was she touching him like that?

The two stepped outside and closed the door behind them, blocking our view of the inside. My eyes lingered for a

moment, and I saw Elara in the background.

I was sure she lifted her head and looked at me. However, she did not try to come closer. She simply continued playing.

Soon, we were outside, standing face to face.

“As you must have seen, the kids are showing a new illness,” Graham remarked. I did not know what had happened, but his mood seemed sour.

“What do you mean by we have seen? We don’t have a television here,” Madeline replied, her tone bitter and harsh as she folded her arms across her chest.

It caught me off guard. She had always been sharp like this.

Not before she left, but ever since she returned as someone with knowledge, she had become very full of herself.

“Your kids didn’t suffer?” Silva asked her, folding her arms.

“No, they have not,” Madeline answered quickly, and I began to wonder how that was possible.

She had three children. Maybe it was because they were powerful alpha kids. Something did not make sense.

“Either way, the kids are suffering. That is the truth. There have been cases, and parents are complaining. If we don’t act quickly, there will be consequences,” I stated, keeping my tone steady.

I had noticed Madeline growing tense.

“Okay, then go ahead and do it. You don’t need my permission,” Madeline replied.

That alone made Graham and me share a glance.

“You’re not going to help us?” I snapped, noticing Baxter flinch beside me,

“How would I help you? I know nothing,” she replied, shrugging.

“Madeline, you are a top researcher. You have helped children before. You have knowledge,” I insisted.

As I spoke, Baxter and Madeline exchanged a look and began to laugh.
