Chapter 448

Chapter 438 Finally Accepted. (Beatrice Dismay)

“Mom! What are you saying? He is the sweetest one ever,” I forced a smile on my lips regardless of the fear I was feeling to have a word with my mother, but she stubbornly shook her head and refused to take her eyes off Zane.

“What are you feeling?” Akin slid his chair near my mom and questioned her.

“This man... he is full of negativity,” she whispered while shaking miserably. Even feeling his energy seemed to be giving her a hard time.

“How so?” 1 asked, and my mother raised her head to look me in the eye and say, “It wasn’t Maddox who ate your brother.”

1 don’t know why she said that, but she didn’t have to explain it any further for us to know she was claiming Zane was the baby who was fed upon by my brother.

“Mom! Are you okay?” I then began to panic when Mom started acting weirdly. She had to put the phone away as Zane’s energy was giving her a headache, as she claimed.

“I will call my brothers and see what they are up to,” Akin murmured weirdly, getting up in haste and rushing to the side to connect a call.

I know he’s worried now. If my mother was able to feel his energy this strongly, it meant only one thing. Zane’s power must have awakened, but why didn’t he tell any of us anything?

It was all too confusing.

“Please take her to her room,” I told the helper, and she nodded. I couldn’t walk away when such a big revelation was made to us. Akin stayed on a call with Colt for a few minutes before he turned around and made deadly eye contact with me.

“What happened? What did he say?” I asked, panicking a little at his reaction.

“They haven’t heard from both of them in a whole two days. The same time I took to wake up and be here,” Akin expressed his stress by running a hand through his hair. “What do you mean by nobody having heard of them?” I questioned him, reaching him swiftly.“Their phones are off. Colt said Helel was going to meet up with Maddox to warn him about something. That’s when Zane and Maddox left mysteriously, and now—we are unable to get in contact with them,” Akin explained. It only made me anxious.

That was too bad.

It was as if Helel knew something was off about Zane, and he was going to alarm Maddox about it.

“There is another piece of bad news,” Akin added, his eyes looking through mine, but he seemed zoned out. “The white dagger is gone. The instant Helel found their phones off, he went over to the place where he had hidden the dagger, and now it’s not there.”

It was too obvious what had happened to the dagger. But I still refused to believe Zane would play such a sneaky game with us, and none of us caught on to him.

“I don’t get it. Why would Zane take Maddox with him?” I looked at Akin for good news. Maybe Zane was just trying to take Maddox away, thinking Gwen would hull him.

“1 think he has made Maddox believe they are the outcast ones. Or maybe he is going to convince Maddox to be on his side because it is certain that after finding out I am the white warrior, Zane decided to-—not hide his identity anymore. He knew he would be exposed very soo—n,” I could tell Akin was having a really hard time talking about his brother in that light.

They have loved Zane a lot, and now to find out he is the Man from Hell and even hid it from us was sketchy. Maybe Akin was right.

Zane must have wanted someone on his team. But when did he find out about his identity? “We should go now. We need to look for them,” I said as I gently held Akin’s hand. “All the players are now out. There is bad news in the end.”

It was clear that once the heroes and villains are known, things will turn dirty.

“I am afraid he might try to get you on his side,” Akin whispered, holding my hand tightly. “I cannot lose you.”

“You won’t. Although 1 am the mistress of doomsday, I don’t feel very heavily connected to negativity. He won’t be able to snatch me from you,” 1 said, removing my hand from his grasp and cupping his face in my hands.

I realized no time would be better than what we have right now. Because once we go back, it will be just a mess.“I, Beatrice Dismay, accept you as my mate,” I uttered, watching his eyes grow wider, and before he could express his happiness with words, I dug my face into his neck.

His arms tightened around my back, pushing me tightly over his chest as my teeth pierced through his skin.

His skin was very hard, but it also made me feel immense pleasure when digging my teeth into it. His scent was so intoxicating that I wished we had more time together to end up fully mating with each other.

Once I had marked him, I began to pull away, but he stopped me and crashed his lips against mine, cupping my face to make sure I didn’t escape him.

The gentleness of his kiss compelled me to forget every other worry for the moment. His t*ongue demanded to enter my mouth, and as I allowed it, I slid my t*ongue into his mouth. Our t*ongues began to battle while his hands reached over to my b*um and grabbed them, massaging them ever so gently into making me let out a m*oan in his mouth.

As we deepened the kiss, his phone began to ring, and we had to part ways. It was sad, but the call was also important.

“Yes, Reign, what did you find?” He put the phone on speaker and asked.

“I was able to locate Maddox,” she whispered, sounding super stressed out. “They are near the vortex,” their presence in the vortex sounded like a very bad deal. Now we had to hurry and reach Maddox before Zane convinced him to be a part of whatever f*uc*ked-up game he was trying to play with us.
