Accidentally Pregnant By My Alpha Best friends (Madeline) novel Chapter 817

Baxter:

Madeline had left the office with Livia right in front of me.

Before she left, she hinted that I had some kind of history with the woman in the basement, and my mind immediately started reeling.

“I need to know more about Kaylee,” I insisted to my wolf.

It wasn’t that I was interested because I wanted to know whether Kaylee and I had ever been romantically involved.

I mean, the way Madeline had bluntly hinted at it, that seemed like a possibility, and I did not want that.

So I wanted my wolf to confirm whether we had done something as disgusting as cheating on Madeline.

But my wolf remained silent, his mouth completely zipped.

“Come on, Axe. Tell me at least a little bit. What do we know about Kaylee?” I asked, getting angry with him.

After a few minutes of silence, Axe let out a deep breath and finally uttered, “We had an affair with her.”

The minute I heard that, I dropped into the chair and wrapped my hands around my head.

I felt like crushing my skull at that moment.

Daniel had walked out to grab some files, so I was pretty much alone in my office.

And now I was alone with information I did not want.

“Why? Why would we have an affair? When was it? Was it before the marriage?” I insisted, trying to piece together anything that would help me believe I wasn’t a fucking cheater.

“Well,” my wolf uttered, “it was after our marriage.”

The minute he said that, I groaned inwardly.

“She was the wife of your friend, Alpha Graham,” Axe began to explain. “He used to abuse her. She was a very innocent, kind, gentle soul. You saw her, and you became her savior. Then you kind of convinced her that you would help her get away from her abusive husband.” My wolf paused to let me settle in with the information.

“However, when Madeline arrived, you ditched Kaylee. You betrayed that poor woman, and she ended up trapped in a lifelong, painful marriage with that abuser, who, by the way, also found out about the affair. So she started being treated even worse. People called her a slut and all sorts of names.”

As my wolf spoke, I touched my chin, thinking deeply about what he was telling me.

“Why would Madeline have her locked up in the basement?” I asked my wolf.

The urge to know more about Kaylee started growing inside me.

“You saw that, right? She’s angry with you. Your lover is tied up in the basement. Of course she’s mad at you. Every time she talks to her, Madeline comes back even angrier,” my wolf continued.

I placed both hands on my waist and shook my head before taking off my coat and tossing it aside.

I had asked the babysitter to take care of my children while Daniel was in my home office, preparing a presentation to show me what was going on with the sickness and everything else.

At the same time, I started moving toward the basement door.

I stood outside, staring at it.

“Are you gonna go and save her?” my wolf asked, showing a lot of concern for someone who was supposedly just an affair to him then his own mate.

“I’m gonna go downstairs,” I told him as I grabbed the lock and started breaking it with my hand. “But - - -”

I stopped myself.

“Because I need to know the truth,” I said as I unlocked the door and started walking downstairs.
