Accidentally Pregnant By My Alpha Best friends (Madeline) novel Chapter 498

Graham:

Kaylee had left for her home when I realized it had become a little too peaceful.

"You need to keep a check on Kaylee," my father said as he joined me for lunch.

"Why is that?" I asked, not paying much attention to his complaints about her.

I did not want to be dragged into any family drama.

"Don't you think she is a little too anxious whenever Madeline is mentioned?" my father asked and I shrugged.

"She'll be fine. I'll take control of her, don't worry. I'm an alpha," I reminded him.

She was not dealing with some omega or beta. I was an alpha. I would keep her in check.

"Well, you better, because look what she has been sending my wife," my father asked.

He reached over, took the phone from Penny's hand, and turned the screen toward me.

I read the messages. They did seem creepy, but then again, it was Kaylee.

I understood that she meant no harm.

"So she sends a text worrying about your wife's health and advising her to be careful, and you turn it against her?" I asked.

Then I looked at Penny and gave her a crooked smile, as if catching her in her bad intentions.

"You do not see anything alarming about these text messages?" my father demanded, pointing at the screen.

"She knows how worried Penny is about her pregnancy. Every waking minute she fears something might happen to her children. And your wife keeps sending her messages like this, reminding her to be scared. That is not alarming to you?"

He sounded aggressive and upset as he kept gesturing toward the texts.

"Father, it is not like she is doing it to harm her," I replied calmly.

"Kaylee is also very conscious. Every time I sit with her, she expresses her fears of losing her pregnancy too. That is why she is overly protective of Penny. She reads articles like that herself. Maybe she shares them because she thinks it is a good gesture and that Penny would appreciate it. She just wants a pregnant buddy."

I tried to defend Kaylee, even though I had to admit she was very confident about her pregnancy. Still, I had to lie here.

I knew Kaylee was only trying to help Penny because, seeing how Yuvonne had lost her child, Penny could too.

My father did not look pleased with my explanation, so I continued.

"Fine. I will tell her not to care so much about someone else. Let them deal with it. And if anything bad happens, I forbid," I raised my hands in surrender, "then we will not be at fault."

When I finished, my father looked very upset with me.

I did not understand what worried them. They had me on their side.

I would never let anything happen to them.

I would pray for them. I would make sure I held good intentions for them, which was what mattered.

At the end of the day, whatever I wanted was what happened.

They just needed to understand that it was all in my hands and nobody else's.

After breakfast, I left for my room to sit in peace.

"You are right," my father admitted, nodding.

"Which brings me to the next point," he continued, adjusting in his seat.

I leaned back comfortably, elbow bent and finger under my chin, watching him.

"Since Ron is in prison, his Luna has gone insane. He has no heir to the throne. I think his pack will be auctioned very soon. You should be ready to take it over."

As soon as he said that, I smiled.

I remembered how Elgin loved to take packs under his control.

If I took one more pack, I would have three under me.

I would surpass Elgin.

Maybe Madeline would finally realize that Elgin was not the man she wanted.

Maybe this time she would come to me and ask what would happen to her children if she chose me.

But here was the truth.

I was not going to accept her children.

I had my own children on the way.

If she wanted to be my side woman, she would be welcome.

For the rest, Kaylee would remain my wife because she was the mother of my children.
