Madeline:
I had gone out for a short walk after the kids were put to bed. They hadn’t met Sawyer because we’d spent nearly the entire day with the council. I wasn’t even sure if they knew their father was here.
After we returned from the council and the kids were asleep, we ate dinner in silence. Then I decided to step out for some air. On my way back, I saw Elgin leaving the guesthouse mansion, walking straight toward me. I slowed down immediately, his expression made it clear he wanted to talk.
“You haven’t fallen asleep?” I asked.
Tired after everything that had happened, I’d promised myself not to get caught up in my little dramas with these alphas anymore. I just wanted to exist and focus on finding a cure for the sickness. The problem was, I wasn’t doing it to go back home anymor
