“I don’t understand,” I said, sitting on the floor with the man.

I had sent Bodhi upstairs because I didn’t want him to hear what the stranger had to say.

I already knew that he was Madeline’s husband from the human world.

He had told me that much right from the beginning, which was why I’d sent Bodhi away.

But now, listening to him, I realized he had been cast away after the humans got their hands on him when he transitioned into a Lycan.

So, currently, the most powerful man in the world was sitting in front of me, bound in chains.

“Free me,” he urged, making me tap a finger against my chin.

“Why would I do that? You’ll simply kill me,” I countered, pouting as I shook my head.

I had already told him what had happened to his wife, how she had punished her abusers, and how my daughter had ended up becoming a council leader only to play me.

“If you free me, you do realize you’ll have the most powerful man on your side. And the people here need that. They want someone to take care of them. Your daughter being the only council leader right now isn’t going to be enough for them,” he explained in a low, husky voice.

After initially showing affection toward Sawyer and trying to reach him, Bodhi had stopped struggling.

He hadn’t asked me again to let him into the basement. He came back down just as we were done talking.

“Bodhi, I told you to stay upstairs,” I reminded him.

He sat on the stairs, resting his elbows on his knees and burying his face in his hands.

“I remember everything,” he announced in his childish voice.

“What do you remember?” I questioned, turning toward him from where I sat on the lowest step.

“He wasn’t a very good daddy,” Bodhi admitted, stealing a glance at Sawyer. “He used to upset Mommy a lot. He would yell at her and scare us. He always said that rules had to be followed. We weren’t allowed to go anywhere. And then he had a friend who always upset Mom because he used to spend a lot of time with her.”

As soon as Bodhi finished, it struck me.

Sawyer had been having an affair with someone.

And he had treated Madeline like shit, exactly the way she deserved to be treated.

My head immediately snapped toward Sawyer.

“He’s a child. He doesn’t understand,” Sawyer tried to defend himself, but I raised my palm to silence him.

“You know how to control Madeline?”

As soon as I asked, Sawyer tilted his head and raised an eyebrow.

“Good little child. Go upstairs,” I instructed, dismissing Bodhi with a wave of my hand.

He slowly got up and walked upstairs while I descended the remaining steps toward Sawyer.

“I hate that woman,” I confessed, watching Sawyer’s eyes widen. “She’s the reason my son died. She was bad news for him anyway,” I hissed, my anger intensifying at the thought of her.
