Accidentally Pregnant By My Alpha Best friends (Madeline) novel Chapter 448

Baxter:

"And then I got angry, okay? So I threw the drink on her."

Kaylee paused to watch my reaction, and I gave her a few small nods, offering a reassuring look to show she had done nothing wrong.

"I mean, she pushed you to your limits. I understand, Kaylee," I said, reaching for her hand, but she pulled away and avoided my touch.

Part of the reason Madeline treated her so badly was because I had let her believe Kaylee was beneath her by repeatedly trying to be intimate with Madeline.

Kaylee closed her eyes. I had seen the mark on her cheek. I had been waiting for her to tell me whose handprint it was.

"And then Madeline slapped me."

She looked up again, and this time she did not sob. She just looked at me with hurt in her eyes.

My fists clenched, but I did not move any other muscle. I stared at Kaylee while my anger was directed at Madeline.

"She slapped me so hard, Graham. If my warriors had not been there, I would have fallen and hurt my children."

As she continued, I finally pulled back from her, lowered my head, and clenched my jaw. My body began to shake with anger.

"And then Madeline said she would not help anyone, so everybody decided it was fine for me to sit at her feet and apologize, even though she should have done the same. I guess slapping someone is not that bad than throwing a drink at someone for making crude remarks about her marriage."

Kaylee's voice broke completely as she buried her face in her hands and cried.

I could not take it anymore. It was ridiculous. Madeline had done so much and still got away with it.

She was starting to act like she was the Moon goddess. It reminded me of Elgin's words.

She probably saw the clips of him running around apologizing to her and what happened to him, and she was beginning to think everyone had wronged her and that the Moon goddess was personally walking among us to punish us now.

It was all Elgin's fault, and no, I do not think we have done anything wrong to Madeline, not anymore.

And in that moment, as I watched my wife, who was carrying my heir, cry in front of me, I thought about it. Their pack needed an Alpha who could put them in their place.

"Calm down, Graham. Did you ask your wife what she was doing today?"

Suddenly, my dad's tone changed. He no longer sounded guilty like he should have.

"What did she do? She threw a drink at her because Madeline made a comment about our marriage and was taunting me," I groaned, pointing a finger at my chest.

"And your wife was constantly sticking close to her, commenting on her character and annoying her repeatedly. There were many witnesses. So you are lucky they let her off easy," my father replied.

As he explained the situation, my body began to calm a little. I turned to Kaylee. She looked down, then backed up at me without avoiding my eyes.

"So what? I made a few comments, and she kept going too. It is not like she was not responding. Every time I said something, she taunted back. I do not even remember who started it. But those people were blind to who deserved justice in that moment," Kaylee argued, raising her voice, finally speaking her side to my father.

All the eyes were now on her as she broke down. The handprint on her cheek in sight and her hand to her belly.
