Accidentally Pregnant By My Alpha Best friends (Madeline) novel Chapter 503

Madeline:

"I am counting every day for your return," I said as I stood outside Baxter’s room.

I could only see the coffin from afar through the small window in the door. That was it. No one was supposed to open it.

"I do not know what it is, Baxter, but ever since you went inside that coffin, at first I had high hopes. But as time is passing, I do not know why I do not feel very confident anymore."

I paused, placing a hand on my chest.

"I want to believe you will wake up, but why does it feel so empty in my heart?"

I swallowed.

"I do not feel our mate bond anymore. It feels as if you have already…"

I bit my tongue, stopping myself from finishing the thought.

The truth was, I was no longer feeling him, as if he did not even exist. Even thinking about it gave me goosebumps.

"But I am sure that is just a phase. I am sure you are fine in there, and you will wake up soon," I told myself.

I knew I was trying to calm my own thoughts, but the truth was that I was scared.

This feeling, this emptiness where I could no longer feel him, it was wrong.

I had spoken to the doctor about it earlier, and it had not gone well.

He had asked me how I would know, since I did not have a wolf.

I told him it was something deeper, something emotional.

I made excuses. I knew he did not believe me.

He said it was fear, fear of losing him, something that could happen under certain conditions, especially during herb therapy.

He explained that because the mate is kept in a space filled with herbs, the bond can feel distant or suppressed.

I did not know how accurate that was, but I wanted to believe it.

I had no other choice.

The doctor kept insisting that the treatment would work, and I could not risk interfering by opening the coffin or taking him out.

"Only a lucky man would have a wife like you."

The voice came from behind me.

My body jolted, and I turned around.

Byron was standing there, a small smile on his lips.

He had been kind to me. He helped delay the treatments for a while so I could check on Yuvonne and visit Baxter. He also convinced the pack members to begin the first testing themselves instead of waiting for me.

Many of them were still skeptical. They wanted me there with them.

Byron would drive me to the pack himself, and we would finish the work quickly before returning.
