Chapter 296

Sharing Beatrice A Luna To Her Stepbrothers by Alexis Dee Book 2 Chapter 296 – The Missing Memories From A...

“Somebody brutally murdered her and left her body there,” Vasquez kept on complaining about the demise of Varisha.

I was stunned too. It came out of nowhere. From what I have learned, her body was left on display out of anger. Whoever did this must have been extremely angry. The night was indeed a horrifying one for everyone. From Varisha and Reign to me, everybody went through something horrible.

Sadly, for Varisha, there was no Alpha King to save her.

Title of the document “You stay here and rest while we investigate what is going on in this pack,” Akin walked into the guestroom and said. I noticed how anxious he looked ever since he returned after seeing the body.

“What was it?” I asked, and he frowned in bewilderment, asking me through his stare to explain my question.

“What did you see that made you so restless?” I questioned.

“The state of the dead body was— her heart was missing,” he didn’t hesitate before disclosing the details to me.

“Anyway, how is she?” Akin then pointed at Reign and asked me. Maddox came right when we were about to talk about Reign.

“She is doing much better than before,” I mumbled, and I watched Maddox stare at me from the comer of his eyes.

“I didn’t want to do thi—s,” Reign murmured in her sleep, and all three of us just went numb, “I am not a b—ad person,”

It confused us what she was on about. She squirmed and shifted sides for a few seconds before going back into a deep slumber.

“What exactly happened to her?” Akin now faced his brother, who knew the conversation would eventually land on the topic of Reign.

“I honestly have no clue. I found her on the side of the road,” Maddox shrugged, contradicting his earlier statement.

“But you told your mother you guys were together last night,” I tried to understand what he was hiding. Did something happen to her last night? Maddox stopped paying attention to Akin and tilted his head to peer out of his brother’s shoulder and look medirectly in the eye.

“Someone who was in a questionable state herself shouldn’t be asking others who they were with last night,” his comment not only stunned me but Akin, too, turned to stare at me and then at Maddox, probably wondering what was going on.

“I didn’t ask you those questions for any other reason than the fact that I want to know what happened to her, jeez!” I rolled my eyes, scoffing at Maddox for acting like I was jealous of him spending time with Reign.

“Nice save!” Maddox copied me and rolled his eyes as well.

I realized instantly that there was no point in having any arguments with him. Akin patted Maddox’s back and eyed him, telling him to leave me alone for some time. My breakfast had arrived, and I could tell Akin knew I wouldn’t start eating unless I was left alone. So, the moment they walked out of the room, I sat down to have my first meal after returning to this mansion.

I had only gone through half of it when Lady Sofia barged in, pretending to be checking on Reign.

“It is always the innocent ones that suffer. The cunning bitches survive every storm,” she commented while checking Reign’s pulse.

“Explains how you make it so far,” I shrugged after passing a comment. She was so shocked that she turned to watch my face with her mouth hanging open while I took a huge bite from the pancakes just to irk her. I knew she didn’t like me eating her food.

“By the way, you don’t have to keep coming to check her pulse. You are not helping,” I then added, just to have fun with her.

“You seem thrilled today. Mind if I ask you where you were at the time of Varisha’s murder?” She crossed her arms over her chest and tapped her foot, her eyes shining with evilness.

“What are you insinuating?” I grunted, deepening my eye contact with her. “Isn’t it weird that my son carried you home in his coat and nothing else as if you had transitioned for the first time?” She nodded to herself when making a statement, “You thought if I weren’t awake, I wouldn’t know?”

“Now it is even more interesting that you transition for the first time and one person ends up dead, the other is in a state of complete despair, and there was a fire in the woods,” she stroked her chin. It wasn’t until she mentioned the fire that my body shuddered.

I knew I was not responsible for the others’ dismay, but the fire in the woods was indeed my doing.“Anyway, I will find out myself, and when I do, Beatrice! You are out of my son’s life,” she winked before walking out of the room.

‘Let’s start by burning her first. I freaking hate this woman,’ Ace scoffed. ‘We have to leave this place before we get caught,’ I said sadly, clicking my tongue and clenching my jaw at Sofia for always coming to bother me.

Well, the daily visit wasn’t over, because soon the one and only Alpha King Zane walked in.

He looked tired, and why not? I heard Sofia telling Akin that Zane came home drunk and wasted.

“You are home,” he smiled, fixing his wet hair, as if he had just taken a shower.

“For a few days,” I said, “she hasn’t woken up yet,” I answered when his eyes landed on Reign.

“Yeah, I don’t care about her,” he mumbled under his breath, focusing on me again, “How are you?” he asked, and I just nodded to give him the answer.

“How is Maura? Did you speak to her?” I couldn’t tell him exactly what happened to Maura and me, but I was wondering where she took her mother. She must have a plan in her mind, or else she is putting herself and her mother’s lives in danger.

The instant I mentioned her, Zane’s eyes bugged out of their sockets as if he remembered something.

“Oh, shit!” He looked so petrified when he ran out of the room without even saying anything to me.
