Accidentally Pregnant By My Alpha Best friends (Madeline) novel Chapter 687

Madeline:

"I heard your saliva can cure poisons," I said.

Standing close to her felt strange, if I was being honest.

I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but something about her felt different. Strange, yet not in a bad way.

Maybe I was reading too much into it.

After all, I was leaving my best friend in her care.

"It only works on visible, fresh injuries. Stab wounds, cuts, anything that leaves an open gash," she replied in a calm tone.

The similarity between her voice and mine immediately caught my attention.

Why the fuck did we sound so alike?

Maybe nobody else noticed it, but I certainly did.

I nodded.

"Your tears are special," she added.

This time, I nodded again.

"They are," I replied. "But only when it comes to children."

An awkward silence lingered between us.

Maybe it was because I was a fucking grey wolf and she knew what kind of monster I was.

I also noticed she had recently showered. There wasn't a trace of her scent left for me to pick up.

"My tears only work on children, just like your saliva only works on certain wounds in adults."

I realized I was repeating something we had already discussed, but the words left my mouth anyway.

"So, can I trust you to take care of my friend?" I asked softly.

I wasn't trying to be rude. I was simply worried.

"You can," she replied with a smile.

"Okay, then. I guess I'll see you soon."

I smiled and she nodded.

"Don't worry. The next time you come back, you'll find your friend smiling at you."

The confidence in her voice eased some of my anxiety.

"Okay," I replied.

The awkwardness still lingered between us.

It was strange because she seemed completely comfortable around Nala when talking about her powers.

Nala's warrior carried Byron inside while I watched them disappear into the building.

Then it was time for me to leave too.

I could only hope I had made the right decision.

But I didn't have many other options besides putting my faith in her.

Byron was already in terrible condition, so it was a risk worth taking.

Besides, I trusted my instincts.

As Nala and I walked back home, we chatted along the way.

"She seems like a decent lady," I commented.

Nala nodded, smiling to herself.
