98–Caught Her Husband Cheating On Her
Elgin:
I watched the two of them interact, and it was the most uncomfortable I had ever felt.
The way she was so gentle and timid with him reminded me of the Madeline I had known years ago.
She didn’t argue with him or give him the angry glares she often threw at me and others.
Of course, that was because he was her husband, her savior, who had rescued her in the human world.
Whereas I was the alpha, the bastard who betrayed her and drove her to feel so unsafe that she ran away.
It was too much for me. Even when she signed the papers for the ID to become a member of Majestic Claw pack, I noticed Sawyer holding her left hand.
He sat there as if he belonged. If he weren’t her husband, he would already be returning to the human land.
But I couldn’t throw him out like that without angering Madeline.
Still, there was one small comfort, the fact that as soon as the sickness ended and we found a cure, her husband would be sent back to the human land.
Only a few visitations per year would be allowed.
I doubted their relationship could survive that for long. I was eager for that day to come.
I know it made me sound cruel, but that’s what I wanted. I didn’t want Madeline to be with this man.
However, starting tonight, I knew they would share a bed, and the thought ate me alive.
My kids would be having dinner with him. My daughter would call him her father.
I paced around my room in the guest house. Her mansion was just across the narrow road, directly in view. There weren’t many homes nearby.
At moments like this, I regretted not owning a pair of binoculars. I wanted to spy on them.
That’s when my phone rang. For the hundredth time,
It was Silver.
Then her message popped up.
Children’s mother: Your mother and father want you to speak to me.
That was all it said. It felt like a threat. She had involved my parents.
I tiredly held the phone to my ear.
“What is it, Silver? When I don’t respond to you, it means I’m not in the mood to talk,” I muttered.
“It’s not Silver. It’s your mother,” my mother replied on the other end, making me slap my forehead in silence.
“And what the heck is going on? Why aren’t you speaking to Silver? She’s the mother of your children. Did you forget your responsibilities since that scum came back?” My mother was never classy.
She could start cussing, yelling, and throwing words that would embarrass me in front of anyone, anywhere.

My father was no different. Once they were done arguing with me, they would start fighting each other.
“Mom, she’s a respected member of our community now. Don’t forget that she’s the one saving children,” I reminded her.
She grunted.
“Well, maybe you’re forgetting that your children are also suffering from this disease and they need their father.”
Hearing her say that hit me hard.
It wasn’t a lie. My children were struggling with the same sickness.
I hadn’t forgotten them. Every time they were in pain, I reached out.
But I suppose she was right, being there physically and calling afterward were two different things.
“Why can’t you send them to me? I’ve asked Silver to pack their belongings and send them here. They’ll be well cared for,” I said, frustrated.
I had been thinking about it for a while and wanted the children to come here so they could be close to me.
“You know we have no problem sending them to you. The only thing is, I don’t trust the nannies entirely. A nanny’s love can never replace a mother’s love, and your demand that they come with the nanny instead of their mother is horrendous. How can you decide that a mother shouldn’t be with her children just because you don’t want to be with her?” my mother complained, almost yelling.
I knew this was coming. She always started screaming, shouting, and saying hurtful things.
And it wasn’t that her words hurt me, I could listen with one ear and let them leave through the other.
The problem was when she began saying things like that in front of my children.
My two daughters didn’t deserve to hear any of it.
“Fine. Send her here, but tell her not to act like we’re in a happy relationship. She wants to come for the children, so that’s who she’ll be taking care of, without demanding time from me,” I told my mother, reminding her that I had never wanted Silver as my wife.
I told her that if Silver wanted, she could stay in the mansion, live her own life, and we could co–parent.
She could date too. But no, she had one condition.
For me to keep the children, I had to marry her.
Then came the pressure from my parents and everyone else.
“That’s between you two. Deal with your own issues. All I know is that I don’t want you disrespecting my daughter -in–law in front of that scum,” my mother snapped again.
She never really understood what respect meant.
After that, she hung up. But I knew Silver was coming over with the kids.
