Chapter 366

Sharing Beatrice A Luna To Her Stepbrothers by Alexis Dee Book 2 Chapter 366 – A Few Seconds Hug Akin’s POV:

“How is he feeling?” I asked Gwen when she walked out of the cabin after taking care of Zane and stitching his wounds. I am sure they will go away once he comes out and transitions.

I had to leave because it was getting too much for me. Seeing my brother, who had never cried before, in this state was too much. I had to step out and wander around and wait for Gwen to finish her job.

Title of the document “He is fine, just hallucinating a lot,” she answered, “Akin! That dagger is dangerous. Helel having that dagger is not something we want right now. He is in his feelings, and this wh—,” as she was yammering, I remembered she told me she has no choice but to take care of Helel’s actions.

“Why do you have no choice?” I asked, making her shut up and stare at me in shock. She must have thought I forgot, but I didn’t.

I just didn’t find the right time to ask her.

“Gwen! Be honest with me,” I then told her. My eyes could see the light inside the cabin and Beatrice sitting beside Zane even from this distance. We were standing under a tree when we talked about Helel, who hadn’t even called me once to ask me if he killed his brother or if he survived.

“Akin! I am the Dark Knight’s mate,” the words and the revelation left me with my mouth hung open. It was as if I had been crushed by a glacier. I never really expected this to happen.

Does that mean every hero has a new mate?

“Does he know that?” I asked, keeping my eyes on her face and noticing how sad she looked.

“He does. Obviously, we felt it together, but he doesn’t want to do anything with me. Which I understand, but my dragon refuses to understand this. You see, apart from being Helel’s mate, I am also responsible for keeping his sanity intact, and I can’t do it.

Did you not see how badly he injured his brother?” She argued even when I didn’t question her for not doing her j oh well.“I mean, he is not evil. I am not saying that, but he wouldn’t let anyone help him,” she then suddenly explained, slowly trying to excuse his behavior.

“What he did was horrible,” I reminded her.

“I get it. But Helel’s state is different. He is in a transition-like condition. He is in constant pain, and his body is adapting to this new super strength. Think of it as our first ever transition, but make it days longer. That’s what he is dealing with right now,” she said, sounding better at describing Helel’s pain and condition. No wonder she was his mate and supposed to stick beside him.

“Did you guys tell Beatrice?” I asked, and she steadily shook her head. I knew it would hurt Beatrice, but I didn’t want to dismiss Gwen’s pain either. She was a living person with feelings, too.

She must be in such a state every time she sees Helel go crazy after Beatrice.

“There is nothing planned for our future, so there is no need to tell Beatrice. Besides, I don’t want to anger Helel,” she said, raising her hands as she mockingly surrendered before looking back at the house.

“I think he had fallen asleep,” she said once she noticed that Beatrice had gotten out of bed.

“I will go back home and bring you some food and her, too. Go be with her,” she said, then gently patted my arm and eyed me to stay with Beatrice because she must be under a lot of pressure too right now. Her mate had turned into a psychotic person. That is not an everyday thing.

“Thank you, Gwen, for everything,” I thanked her, and while I ordered a guard to take her back to the pack, I wandered near the door to be with Beatrice.

“Helel did this?” she asked me again, standing in the door and leaning on the side.

“He was angry and in a lot of pain,” I tried to explain his condition to her in the same way Gwen did.

“But that doesn’t excuse this. How can he hurt his own brother like that? This is not how my Helel was,” Beatrice’s eves were filled with instant tears, and it sucked that I couldn’t wipe them clean.

“I guess he is in a mid transition—,” I tried to mumble when she grunted at me.

“Stop giving excuses for his behavior. Akin!” the way she raised her voice at me, I instantly looked down.“I am sorry; I didn’t mean to be rude to you,” she was quick enough to understand where she made a mistake. However, I didn’t feel bad. It was just that she was the only one who could scold me, and I wouldn’t get angry.

“Hey, I am fine. We didn’t expect this to happen. I will go talk to Helel and convince him to give up on that dagger. He shouldn’t be earning it on himself,” I stated, while my mind couldn’t stop thinking about the dagger being around.

“It is so crazy that when he grabbed the dagger from Mykel, he so sneakily hid it that even I forgot he had it,” Beatrice shook her head in disbelief.

“This is just his side. He will get used to controlling his emotions and not acting out of anger and frustration,” I uttered, raising my hand to rest it on the top of the doorframe when she did something I didn’t expect.

Since she was already very down, she slowly sneaked closer and hugged me. For a moment, I forgot I am a living person and I am supposed to breathe. Her body was in direct contact with mine. The urge to hold her grew, and I steadily wrapped my arms around her before my dreams shattered and she pulled away. I hadn’t even tied my anus around her yet.

“It will be okay,” she appeared to be trying to console me.

But who consoles someone for five seconds? She should have at least—no! Don’t be ridiculous. I cannot think like this, not least when she is dating my brother.
