Kaylee:
I stood among them, listening as they discussed why my husband should drop off his ex. The same ex he had been accused of looking at with dirty intentions more times than I could count.
I could not understand how Lord Eldon failed to see it. I could not understand how neither he nor Graham realized that staying away from Madeline would protect his reputation.
But Lord Eldon disappointed me the most. I had believed he would at least tell his son to keep his distance.
Instead, he was sending him with her. And I knew exactly what Madeline was doing.
She stood there pretending she would never sit in a car with him. I knew what they had done last night.
It felt like she had trapped my husband in her spell again. Whatever hope she had given him was making him cautious.
They were careful. They did not acknowledge anything in front of others.
That was the frightening part.
But I was not blind. I would not be fooled.
“Mommy, can we please go? We’re tired,” Bodhi said, tugging at her hand. His eyes were almost closing.
Elara held her other hand and gently shook it.
“Look at them. I don’t think they can wait for a cab. It’s late. A cab will take too long to arrive,” Lord Eldon continued.
I clenched my jaw and shut my eyes. I turned my face to the other side.
“Fine, but we will sit in a separate car,” Madeline suggested, lifting her chin slightly.
She was becoming unbearable. Every time she acted as if she were above me, especially when these people kept giving her attention.
Once Madeline accepted the offer, Graham moved quickly toward the bedroom. Madeline walked outside to wait near one of the cars.
I knew they would switch vehicles the moment they were away from the mansion. Once the children fell asleep, they would sit together.
I hurried after him.
The moment I saw him spraying himself with excessive perfume, I knew.
“Why? Why do you have to take her?” I demanded.
He turned toward me and gave me a look filled with disdain. Then he faced the mirror and adjusted his hair.
“Kaylee, I told you, trust is important in a relationship,” he replied sharply. “If you cannot trust me, I cannot help you. I am an alpha. I cannot sit in silence. I have decisions to make.”
His tone was bitter. There was urgency in him, as if he feared something would happen and their plan would fail.
“You have not given me a single reason to trust you,” I argued. “Why do you have to go? If anything, Lord Eldon should sit in the car.”
Graham let out a grunt.
