Chapter 122

122-The Basel I turned to Zane and passed him a smile, making him think he was correct.

“I would rather put a burning stick up my ass than ever sleep with you again,” I said with a forced smile on my lips, and the smirk from his lips faded away.

His look changed, as he didn’t like what he heard. Obvi- ously, his alpha ego couldn’t hear a ‘No’

“And the fact that you are thinking about fucking your brother’s girlfriend says a lot about your character,”

I contin- ued to belittle him for his nasty thoughts. The more I talked, the more annoyed and angry he looked.

“I will see your confidence wither away soon, Beatrice!” He finally responded, but there was no hint of a smirk or smile on his lips. He had taken it personally.

“Sure! I will wait,” although I didn’t want to irk him, but I had no other option left. Now that I started acting cool, I had to carry on that style.

I walked away from him to speak to Reign. Something has been bothering me, and for some reason, I couldn’t look away from it.

“Hey!” I joined the girls while Zane rushed upstairs to probably cry under a blanket.

“Beatrice Mintz! I didn’t know you lived with the alpha kings. What is your relation to them, anyway?”

Dream made me realize my initial interaction should have been my judg- ment of her character. She was rude, sassy, and unwelcoming. Her sister’s polar opposite.

“I am Lord Vasquez’s friend’s daughter,” I introduced my- self and made my mom his friend. It would be so awkward if my mom ended up marrying him.

“Ah! What a lucky girl!” Dream rolled her eyes, tapped her foot, and probably wanted me gone.

“See you on the ground,” I whispered and walked out of the mansion because Dream didn’t like me standing with. them and becoming a hurdle in whatever conversation they were having.

Once I was in the garden with Maddox and some other students, I realized Mykel was already preparing for the next lesson.

“Beatrice! Helel told me you don’t want to take this lesson. Any particular reason?” Mykel asked, not raising his face to look at me and continuing to label the powders.

“My wolf is unstable,” I said, and by the time I turned, I saw Zane, Dream, and Reign standing behind me. Dream’s lips formed a smirk when hearing about my wolf. That was ex- pected from her.

“That’s why I wanted you to take this lesson, but that is your decision alone, as I will not go against the alpha king’s orders,” Mykel stated, finally giving attention to the others.

“Today’s test will be for Zane!” he said, and Zane uncom- fortably shifted his body weight to one leg.

“My wolf is not afraid of anything.” Zane shrugged his shoulders, gently dismissing the offer.

“Then you don’t have to worry about anything.” Mykel stubbornly stretched his hand out for him and gave him the powder.

Zane passed a glance at the wandering eyes and reluc- tantly grabbed the powder out of Mykel’s hands.

“The anti-Hallucinator will be Maddox again.” He then gave the other powder to Maddox, while the Archivist will once again be Beatrice Mintz. The reason I am doing this is so that she can see everyone’s nightmares and realizes hers is probably not that terrifying.” He whispered the words eerily, making the point that I was not taking the lesson because I was too afraid of facing my wolf’s fear.

I would be lying if I said that wasn’t partially true. Just that I didn’t want the Archivist to see my or my wolf’s fears.

“All set?” Mykel asked, gesturing at us to leave for the ground.

I walked behind the brothers in an awkward silence. They didn’t utter a single word, and soon we will have reached the prime spot.

“Best of luck, brother!” Maddox patted Zane’s back, who nodded to himself and opened the bottle. I was still holding the yellow powder bottle in my hands, waiting for Zane to go first. Zane opened the bottle and raised it, only to let the pow- der scatter in the air.

“What the hell?” I asked aggressively, “Why would you do that?” I asked, and he turned to Maddox, who gave him a smirk.

“We don’t need to take these tests or lessons. We are the alpha kings,” Zane stated in a proud tone, while Maddox agreed with him.

“If you are that keen on taking that powder, go ahead.” This time, Maddox commented. The two sat down on the grass to waste time and then returned to the base and lied about not seeing anything.

I was in shock because if I knew this was possible, I would have done it too.

“Did you hear what she said about not sleeping with any of us?” Zane brought it up to his brother, who let out a scoff at my statement.

“She was with Helel last night, the same one she lost her virginity to. Apparently, they have mutual friends too,” Mad- dox smirked, making Zane’s smile fade and swirl his neck a lit- tle to me.

“What friend?” Zane asked me directly. Them talking about Colt reminded me of my meeting with him.

We were going to discuss the weapon today because Helel and I decid- ed we needed to take the trip as soon as possible.

“Oh, shit!” I slapped my forehead. “I need to go,” I whis- pered to myself. Every second was important to us, and here I was, just wandering around and wasting my day.

“Where do you —,” Zane asked when I turned around to leave them.

“Let’s go tell Mr. Mykel we didn’t see anything. We don’t have to waste hours not seeing anything,” I commented, mak- ing them realize they could be idiots too. The two started walking behind me briskly while I kept my distance from them.

“Where are you going?” Zane asked again as he brought up my statement from before.

I ignored him while dropping the bottle on the ground and rushing to the base.

“Back already?” Mykel looked confused. Zane had to stop to answer Mykel, while Maddox kept following me inside.

I didn’t care what others thought about me leaving the ground. Taking care of Gwen’s situation was far more press- ing.

“Helel!” I called for him the first thing I did when entering the mansion and got a response from Maddox instead.

“Seriously? That’s why you rushed into the mansion like a maniac? Is there any other name you even think of these days?” Maddox reacting so aggressively was not something I expected from him. He grabbed my arm and turned me around to face him, and his reaction shocked me.
