Chapter 354

Sharing Beatrice A Luna To Her Stepbrothers by Alexis Dee Book 2 Chapter 354 – The Invites To Death Day “I—,” as I tried to tell him, Akins phone rang. He was about to cut the call to listen to me first, but it was I who told him to attend it first.

What I was going to tell him wasn’t something small, so it needed his full attention. I waited for his return and had gotten into his car by then. When he came back, he looked devastated. We were already driving back to the mansion, but I couldn’t help but ask him what was going on.

“Are you okay?” I asked, sitting in the passenger seat with him.

Title of the document “It was Mr. Winchester!” he said the bastard’s name under his heavy breath.

“What did he want to talk about?” I inquired, remembering how messy that man could be. He was convincing everyone not to help me free my people. I still haven’t forgotten about it, and I will never forget.

“He wanted to let me know that he had sent the match invites to us,” Akin clenched his jaw when talking about the contest this father created for his daughters.

Sure, he was the alpha of his pack and could make any rules when it came to coronation, but this contest was just outright wrong and horrifying.

“Shit!” I cursed, “When is it?” I asked.

“In two days,” Akin shook his head while keeping his eyes on the road. Now that Dream had confessed to being on Huia’s side and also displayed some negative traits, I wondered if anybody would want her to win. Well, the public didn’t know, but these brothers would be biased.

“Akin! Can we not stop it from happening? It is outrageous,” I was so full of stress that when I requested him to find a way, I placed my hand on his, and he almost knocked the car into a tree.

“What the—,” I gasped and calmed myself down when he slowed down and survived the hit. I noticed Maddox and Colt gesturing at us from their car to ask us if we were fine.“I am so sorry. Actually, I was umm—thinking about how to help —,” Akin stuttered, and then, after struggling to make up an excuse for the almost accident, he gave up.

“What were we talking about?” He sounded so innocent when he steadily turned his neck to me and asked me.

“The contest!” I whispered, pouting.

“Oh! Yeah! We have to find a way to stop it from happening,” He repeated exactly what I had told him, but I didn’t bother him for it. He was clearly struggling because of something.

We stayed silent and made sure we left all the discussion for home, where we have Dream and Reign next to us.

After we arrived home, Reign offered Dream some juice and helped her with food while Akin went to his room to take a shower, and Maddox was just standing in the corner, watching me.

We were in the kitchen, so I was feeling awkward when he kept looking at me, and even Reign noticed it. I walked up to him and cleared my throat because I wanted to check on him.

“Your aunt is a bada*s*s,” I joked because I had a feeling that he was upset about what his family had been doing all these years.

“So am I,” he commented, but it didn’t sound like a joke to me, “Beatrice! Did you think I was an evil person?” He suddenly turned to face me and caught me off guard.

“No!” I shook my head. “How can you say that? You don’t know who I am. What if I am truly the man from hell? What then?” He asked, his eyes showing fear.

“Then you would know, wouldn’t you? Huia said they were taking orders from the man from hell, so he knows that he is the one and surely is playing the part. So it can’t be you,” I gently tapped his shoulder to console him.

“You know, Helel is very lucky!” Maddox had to lower his head and scoff while smiling in disbelief.

“Not because he is a dark knight, but because he got blessed with the even better opportunity of having someone beside him who is —very special,” he then explained his comment him in the beginning.

His compliment ended up tinting my cheeks. But then I recalled that I wasn’t at all a saint. In fact, I was their worst nightmare.

And I had to prepare myself to give them that news too.“I will go take a shower,” he said, breaking eye contact with me and sprinting out of the kitchen before making things more awkward between us.

As I turned around, I saw Reign quickly looking away. She had been watching us. Dream was just leaning on the wall, looking outside the window in silence.

“I don’t like silence,” Colt clapped his hands and then shoved them in his pocket, awkwardly stretching his shoulders up and then biting, puckering his lips.

“Dream! You are not a bad person. Whether you did it as part of a plan or not, you ended up helping me out and even saving them. If you were evil, you would have never done that,” Colt approached her while keeping his eyes on us. I am sure he was a little shy talking to her in front of us.

“You think so?” The way Dream instantly broke her stare from the outside and faced him was all it should have taken for Colt to realize she likes him.

“I do. You are my best friend, and I know you are not evil,” he continued, even holding her hand to console her.

“Akin said my father called him. What is it about?” Reign asked me once Colt and Dream had finished talking.

I didn’t want to be the one to announce the bad news to the girls, so I pressed my lips into a tight line and refused to say a word.

“Oh! These invites are fancy!” Just when I thought my silence would divert the topic, Colt found the golden invitation and gave it directly to Reign.

“The color is so good,” he commented, probably thinking of it as a reason to have a word with her, but from the way she gasped, I knew she had seen the title.
