Accidentally Pregnant By My Alpha Best friends (Madeline) novel Chapter 351

351–I Am Not Her Hero Anymore

Baxter:

I had seen how hopeful Madeline looked when Ron arrived with his warriors. I felt responsible for her state. She had not eaten anything.

She had not taken a single sip of water. She had been searching for Gina without stopping.

There were moments when I wondered if her mental health would worsen.

There were too many questions, and I had no answers. I was just an alpha who had let it happen, who had let his daughter be taken.

“I will come with you,” I said after they returned a few hours later.

We had covered only a small part of the area. This time, I noticed they were taking a short break to plan where to head next, and I realized they were about to leave again.

That was when I understood they were planning to leave me behind because of my mother.

“No. I told you, I need you here,” my mother insisted again.

“Why, did you not just say I am useless?” I remarked, taunting her and reminding her of what she had been telling me for hours, ever since I lost my daughter.

It has been two days now. Bodhi and Elara were just getting through each day. They were as upset as we were.

The news must have spread as well. And then there was Madeline, who had not slept at all. Every waking moment, she was out looking for Gina.

Even the drones had failed to find any trace of the monster.

“But remember, your father is an old man,” my mother continued. “He has been handling your responsibilities for the last two days. One of you needs to stay at the cabin and take care of the children. And Madeline is the one running herself into the ground. You should stay.”

She crossed her arms tightly. “It is not like it will make any difference if you go.” (1

“I think you should refrain yourself from making comments like this,” Ron said, slamming his hand on the table as he stood up.

Madeline had gone to take a shower to clear her mind, while Yuvonne sat with the children.

“I’m not old, and I can take care of these children.”

My father snapped, proving that he was more understanding, more like a father I had always wanted.

I wondered what had triggered that in him. Maybe it was the need to protect me, because I was weak now. “And I was still here to take care of the children. Besides, Baxter has a lot of strength. He can come in handy,” Yuvonne commented, probably just so I would not feel bad or embarrassed.

“Fine. Either you guys state the truth and look for that child, or just keep stroking his ego. But the moral of the

story is that Baxter did this to himself. Instead of fighting for the crown and refusing to give the rank over, he just left it, as if the world was nothing,” my mother said.

She was still bitter about the fact that she could no longer enjoy the luxuries. She commented again before stomping her feet and walking into the room.

“Don’t listen to her. Nobody would have been able to fight that monster,” Ron stated.

“Yeah, of course, I know. Anyway, I think I’ll stay over,” I commented, noticing how my father, Yuvonne, and Ron looked sad that my mother’s words had finally affected me.

“I’m ready. Let’s go.”

Madeline walked out of the room, tying her wet hair into a bun. She was wearing a green top and blue jeans. There were bags under her eyes. The once–happy face looked worn now.

“Baxter wants to stay,” Ron commented.

Madeline could barely look at me. It was not that she had told me I was responsible, but I felt like she probably thought I could have done more.

“Okay, take care of the children,” she said softly, grabbing a knife from the table.

Of course, she did not insist on me coming. She knew the truth, that I was useless.

At this point, I knew that somewhere along the line, Ron and Yuvonne must have noticed that Madeline had found her wolf. She had been using the strength to run around, but they were not questioning her.
