92–Alpha Ron Comes For The Rescue
Madeline:
I didn’t really know what happened, what made Graham come here or what made him say no to his father. But I could tell that wasn’t the reason he had come, judging by the shocked look on his father’s face. At least he had used his brain enough to step back. I’m sure he thought I would be fine celebrating it, but thankfully, he realized what he was about to ruin just in time.
He was even stealing eyes from me.
“What are you saying?”
Well, there was someone even more embarrassed than Graham, his father. He looked furious, and why wouldn’t he be? He was a man who always held himself in high regard, never seeing fault in his own actions.
“I didn’t know you were coming here for this,” Graham said, and I could tell his father was struggling to accept the truth, that his own son had probably betrayed him.
“Graham, we talked about this. Remember?” His father grunted.
“I don’t know, Father. I just know you told me you wanted to come here and see what was going on with the articles and everything. That’s all I remember,” Graham replied, still trying to ease the tension while his father took deep breaths, his eyes showing that if he could, he’d kill his own son right there.
“You heard your son, didn’t you?”
It was time for me to speak again, to make my comeback. Lord Eldon glared at me, unable to respond harshly now that he had fallen from the grace after his son exposed him.
“Lord Eldon, we are truly disappointed. You know this researcher is doing great work for us. Why would you cause such an argument and upset her?” one of the council members asked, eager to distance himself from Lord Eldon’s behavior.
Another member nodded in agreement, and soon others joined, looking at me with apologetic expressions.
“We’re very sorry. We hope you don’t take it to heart. However, the fact remains that even if this isn’t the issue, the real matter is that you’ve found a wolf. Because of that, we request that you apply for an ID in any of the packs. This is the only time we’re making this exception since your work here is remarkable,” the council member continued.
Once again, the victory I’d felt over Lord Eldon’s humiliation faded away when the mention of my wolf came up.
“Thank you so much for giving me that opportunity. I’ll definitely think about it,” I said shakily, trying to contain the anger inside me.
“May we ask why all your bags are packed?” Lord Eldon didn’t stay humiliated for long. He was already trying to prove his point again.
“Were you trying to leave?” he continued. I noticed how the members looked slightly disappointed with him, but since he was one of the leaders, they couldn’t humiliate him the way they might have done to someone else.
“I was the one who asked her to pack her bags,” a deep voice interrupted. “I got her a place in my pack so she can stay more comfortably.”
Alpha Ron’s arrival wasn’t on my list of expectations. He entered with his hair still wet, wearing a jacket, and walked up to Lord Eldon, stopping in front of him with his hands on his waist.

“I hope we’re not bothering the researcher too much. The thing is, she’s in my pack, she’s my guest. I don’t want her to think these messy ways are how we operate,” Alpha Ron said directly to Lord Eldon, and I could sense the tension between them.
I’d never thought there was anything personal between the two, but the way they looked at each other said otherwise. I remembered when all the Alphas were friends, at least, these two were. I also knew that Lord Eldon and Alpha Ron’s grandmother never got along, probably because Lord Eldon was a misogynist and she always spoke for women’s rights.
“Well then, I think we’ll leave,” was all Lord Eldon said. No apology, nothing. He didn’t even try to save face in front of the others. He came here, lied about his son wanting the DNA test, and when he was corrected, he simply turned and walked out, rushing past everyone to leave the suite first.
“What about us? We were working on the case with her. We’re not going to stay at our pack or at the suites and arrive late when we need to solve the case,” Elgin complained quickly, ignoring everything else that had just happened.
My eyes stayed fixed on Graham, judging him silently. He was unusually quiet.
“Oh, don’t worry. I’ve prepared a guest house for you and your families. It’s right beside her mansion, next to ours,” Alpha Ron explained, making it clear in his subtle way that all our homes would now be next to each other.
“If you’re all packed, I’ll start moving your things. Is that okay?” Ron asked. I gave him a gentle smile.
As he walked past me, I whispered softly, “Thank you.”
He stopped, turned to face me, only a foot away, and said quietly,
“You should’ve let me know. I would’ve come sooner.”
That was all he said before leaving. I watched him as he went to my kids‘ room to tell them they weren’t leaving.
