"Imagine watching your three boys die, only to find out your wife will never conceive again. Your friend must be devastated," Elgin's mother said.
Lady Greta shook her head, still in shock over the news.
It was truly strange. I could only imagine what Kaylee was going through, but at the end of the day, she had been cocky throughout her pregnancy, so part of me thought of it as a lesson for her. Still, I felt sad.
"That is because I told him," Elgin muttered, making my spine stiffen.
Now that we were no longer sharing a room, every time I saw him or heard him speak, goosebumps spread across my skin. It felt as if I had held him for a few seconds before losing him.
"Told him what?" his mother asked.
We were sitting at the dinner table together. Lady Greta, and my father had suggested we have dinner as a family.
They were trying to fix things between us, but I did not know how that would work. I had become a laughingstock. People talked about me and pointed whenever I passed by. I knew many of them had seen the pictures and heard the news about my infidelity.
The problem was that Lady Greta was also dealing with her own marriage issues.
"I told him. I told Graham that Madeline has summoned the Moon Goddess upon us," Elgin continued.
As he repeated those words, everyone at the table exchanged a glance.
"Lady Greta, what about your husband? I haven't seen him in a while," my father asked.
The moment he mentioned Elgin's stepfather, I saw Elgin's face tighten. He called the man his father, but only because of the pressure his mother placed on him.
In truth, the man was the royal beta of their pack, whom his mother had married after his father's passing. Their relationship was strained. They barely acknowledged each other.
"His sister is dealing with some matters. There is a widow in town, and everyone wants their son to marry her. My husband's sister has taken it upon herself to guard the widow," Lady Greta explained.
My eyes remained on Elgin.
Then a message appeared on my screen. The table went silent as everyone looked at me. It had become like this. I suppose they thought I was openly cheating on Elgin.
Elgin scoffed and set his knife and fork down.
"Anyway, I don't see the point of this dinner. Have a good night," he said before rising and walking away.
I checked my phone and frowned at the message. It was from the lab where I had sent the bottle of medicine.
But the result made no sense.
The test report read: It is human tear fluid. No herbal infusion, no chemical compound, no additives.
