Chapter 445

Chapter 435 So Comfortable (Beatrice Dismay)

King killed Igor right before our eyes, but nobody seemed to be mourning over him. He got what he deserved. However, Akin passed out after the transition back to being human.

It’s been hours, but he didn’t wake up. “He will be alright. Why don’t you eat something?” My mom walked into the room to check on me. I have taken Akin to my bedroom and haven’t left his side till now.

“I am not hungry,” I sighed, running my hand through his hair as it lay on my lap.

“He really loves you, doesn’t he?” She asked, sitting in the chair next to Akin’s side and watching him.

“I don’t know. He never said it,” I mumbled, gently caressing his cheek.

“He doesn’t have to say it. His actions speak louder than his words. I am sorry that somehow I became the reason behind all this mess. But I only wanted the best for you. What I didn’t know was that the best was right before my eyes,” she smiled weakly, but guilt could be seen in her eyes.

“What did they do to Scarlet’s body?” I asked with difficulty. I found her dead body once Igor died, and I walked into the forbidden hallways and rooms.

Her body was hardly decomposing because he had made sure the process of decomposition had slowed down.

“The elders want to throw away her body,” Mom said, and I didn’t argue with her. Scarlet had done very messy things. Even left Destiny Despair in the dungeon even after finding her there.

She loved to watch everyone around her suffer. She got the preferable humiliating death.

“He is my savior,” I said, smiling as I kept watching his face.

“He came here pretending to be accepted mate, just to make sure you were safe. And I was on his back, bothering him all this time. How am I going to look into his eyes and apologize to him?” Mom whimpered as she covered her face in her hands.

“Don’t worry. Once you speak to him, you will feel better. He makes everyone feel better, mom,” I reassured her, knowing no matter what, my Akin would never do anything wrong.“So, one of the brothers is the Dark Knight and the other is the— white savior,” she nodded to herself. Obviously, it was not easy for her to look at them and not miss her own son.

“That’s right,” I said, “Can you tell me which of the brothers at—,” she didn’t finish, and I didn’t ask her as well. I knew what she wanted to know, so I cleared my throat and mumbled.

“We all believe it was Maddox,” I stated, watching her nod her head again. “This Maddox guy— is he like his brothers?” she asked, and I gave her a smile.

“They are all the same. They are good, mom. Each one of them was always there to protect me,” I sighed because poor Maddox would always be remembered as the one who ate the weredragon baby.

I watched my mother trying to open her mouth to ask me something else, but before that, Akin started waking up. “He is waking up,” mom announced, making my heart jump up and down in my chest.

I was waiting for him to wake up because I had so much to say to him and so much love to give him.

“Eh!” He moved his head, and I slipped away from under him. He shook his head, rubbed his eyes, and then tried to sit up. “You should keep resting,” I tried to lie him down again, but he refused it and shook himself awake. The moment he was able to get out of bed, he turned to me and cupped my face in his hands.

“Are you ok—ay?” He questioned, his voice still raspy and d*eep.

“I am fine,” I gently held his hands before cupping his face. It was awkward, but we were in such a good mood that we didn’t mind my mother’s presence.

“I was so scared of losing you,” he said, his eyes d*eepening into mine. “Don’t ever put yourself in that danger.” It was mostly him talking. He kept bringing his face closer and holding my face tightly.

“I cannot watch you become someone else’s mate, Beatrice. I cannot watch you walk away from me. I have waited patiently. I have loved you silently enough. But I cannot anymore. I love you so so much Beatrice that no one has ever loved anyone like that,” as he finished, he didn’t even let me express the shock I had received. He had already crashed his lips against mine.

As he broke the k*iss, he continued, “I, Alpha King Akin, accept you as my mate.”I gasped while my mother smiled and got up from the chair. That’s when Akin realized what he was doing. He freed my face and turned around to see my mother.

“I am glad to see you doing okay,” mom said, looking very happy for us. I believe everybody is now on Akin’s side because he was the white savior, after all.

“Thank you for keeping her safe,” Akin’s words sounded like sarcasm in the beginning until he added, “She could have been in huge trouble if you hadn’t shielded her.”

He acknowledged that my mother thought she was helping me. But thankfully, after Igor drugged me, Mom didn’t leave my sight.

“I am sorry for insulting you, White Savior,” as my mother bowed down to him, Akin turned to me and then looked her way in shock. Mom excused herself and left, while Akin seemed all lost and confused.

“I think you should speak to King. He will explain to you what happened,” I said, trying to get out of bed to let him spend some time alone with King when he held my hand and stopped me from leaving.

“You are not going anywhere. King is comfortable in your presence,” Akin pulled me with so much extra force that he misunderstood it himself. I landed straight in his lap, and before we could fix the mistake, he tucked me under him and came on top of me.

I was shocked at his new desires and urges, but I wasn’t complaining.
