Elgin:
I don’t know what was worse, losing control and acting like a complete bastard in front of Madeline, or watching her rush to Baxter to comfort him.
I showed her how much of a failed alpha he was, that he could no longer protect her, yet the moment she had freedom, she ran to him.
The way she touched him, the way she hugged him, all of it affected me.
“I can’t believe you agreed to do this,” my wolf snapped, calling out my actions.
“I was influenced by Graham,” I replied. “I was afraid that if I didn’t go along with it, he would be the only one–”
I paused, realizing how weak that excuse sounded.
“Let’s not forget,” my wolf continued, “you were the one who rejected Madeline. You did not want her. You humiliated her, you humiliated our daughter, and now suddenly you want her. Suddenly you want to touch her. We had our chance, and we lost it. We lost the chance to ever be with her. I don’t understand why you are forcing this idea on her, and on yourself.”
My wolf kept talking, and I listened because I had made a mistake, and everything was ruined.
Things had been going smoothly after I rejected Madeline. I had convinced everyone that I made the right decision.
I had even convinced myself. But after last night, Madeline would think I still wanted her.
“And once again, you are thinking about the wrong things,” my wolf grunted. “You should be worried that you came out as a disappointment.”
When I stepped out of the car, I took a deep breath and headed toward the door.
Before I could move farther away from the warriors, I heard one of them speak, which made me stop.
“I was kind of looking forward to her taking off her top. She’s a gorgeous woman. Do you think we would have gotten a turn once the alphas were done with her?” one of my warriors remarked.
I snapped my head back and glared at him. The warrior beside him noticed my expression and tried to signal him to stop, but he was too caught up in his words to notice.
“What? I’m just saying. I was ready to jump in. She had curves in all the right places,” he continued.
The other warrior elbowed him sharply. Only then did he follow his gaze and look at me.
“Your Highness,” he stammered, bowing his head in respect.
“What did you just say? That you would touch Madeline?” I asked, stepping toward him. My voice stayed low, but anger burned inside me.
“No, no, I was just… I’m really sorry. I guess I got lost in my thoughts and spoke nonsense,” the warrior replied.
He did not lift his eyes. The other warrior stepped away, likely sensing the intensity of my stare.
