Chapter 99

99-Heartless Mates Soon I got my hands on her in a struggle to see the pen- dant closely. The way she was backing away and hiding it be- hind the towel just didn’t seem normal to me, and that gave me more courage to get aggressive with her.

After what Colt had told me about an enemy killing the brothers, I just couldn’t look away from this subject.

“Show me that pendant!” I yelled, trying to untie her fin- gers from around the pendant. For someone who claims to have lost their wolf, she was extremely powerful. I noticed how barely she was moving, yet I couldn’t unlock a single fin- ger of hers.

“What are you doing?” She grunted, lifting her knee up to hit me in the stomach in the process of pushing me away from her.

“Just show it to me,” I winced silently but didn’t let go. I could tell she knew what I was asking to see, but she kept yelling and asking me what I wanted.

The commotion caught enough attention for the brothers to barge in one by one. I heard them let out grunts before stepping between us.

Gwen was trying not to uncover the pendant from around her neck by holding the towel over it, while I was trying to snatch that same towel away from her.

A strong and painful grasp around my arm pulled me back from her. I realized it was Helel who had separated us. Soon, Akin rushed between us to first make sure Gwen was fine and then turn to me.

Helel was holding me by my back to keep me from reach-ing Gwen again while she rushed into Akin’s arms to act all frightened.

“WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON HERE? THIS IS NOT A FOREST, STOP ACTING LIKE FUCKING ANIMALS,” Akin raised his voice to silence us. My struggles subsided, and fi- nally, Helel let me go, but only to march between us and make sure I didn’t get near her again. Even Maddox had walked over to her side to stare at me in silence. Zane was standing in the door frame beside me, hardly taking anyone’s side. He was usually the one who loved to watch the show and later announce whose side he was on. In my scenario, it would not be a secret that he would be on Gwen’s side. He and others had made it clear several times.

“Her pendant—-,” I paused to catch my breath. I was wheezing, trying to get a word out of my mouth.

“What about it now?” Helel slapped his forehead, making it appear as if I was being too much.

“S—,” Zane walked in and shook his head before I could finish.

“She is jealous of her; what else?” His comment made the brothers stare at me and then roll their eyes.

“You all think I am doing it just to bother her? Fine, let me show you,” I grumbled as I lunged for her pendant. My hand hadn’t even brushed her as I had to dodge the brother’s ap- proach, and she fell back.

For a moment, even I couldn’t comprehend what had just happened. I did not touch her.

“Gwen!” Helel and Akin yelled in unison as they turned The brothers stayed behind, and I could tell why.

“Is this what you are taught?” Akin yelled from afar. I was finally able to lift my head and watch them look at me with. such anger.

“You could have killed her,” Helel muttered, throwing the water bottle from the table to the wall.

“She is angry because she keeps getting rejected,” Mad- dox muttered and scoffed. “I have told you guys to fucking kick her out, but you never listened. Now, look at what she did. Imagine that mom comes to stay with us someday and does that. She and her mother are fucking whores—,” Mad- dox had only said those words about my mother, and I rushed to my feet to push him back and show anger.

He barely budged, but the reaction from the brothers was watchable.

They looked offended.

“Don’t fucking say a word about my mother,” I yelled, try- ing to reach Maddox again to push him when Akin grabbed my arm and pulled me back.

“That’s enough. You are not going to hit my baby brother in front of my eyes.” He tightened his grip around my skin, sinking his nails deeper and warning me.

“No! This is not how it will work now. She needs to leave.” It was then that something hit Maddox, and he lunged at me to grasp my other arm.

It was late at night, and he wanted me to leave? around to help her up. She had hit her head, and it was now bleeding like anything.

“She pushed me,” Gwen cried, looking at me in shock. for stooping so low. I watched the brothers try to inspect her wound, but her injury looked bad.

Even when she hit the back of her head on the wall, a loud thud was created. So I could assume why she was bleeding so much.

“We need to take her to the hospital,” Akin announced. “Maddox! Zane! Get here, quickly.” As he handed her over to Maddox, he added.

“This is all a drama. She is trying to make us distrc—,” | couldn’t believe she lied that I pushed her. It was her way of this situation, but I wouldn’t let it happen. I rushed at her again, but I didn’t intend to hit her. I was aiming to point at the pendant, but the brothers thought I was attacking her.

Seeing me approach her made Gwen let out a scream and pretend to be afraid of me. It happened in such a hurry that Akin stepped between us, all panicked, and pushed me back.

This was the first time Akin had touched me. And it wasn’t a gentle touch. The moment I was falling, Helel grabbed my hand and then slapped me to the ground.

“Helel!” the brothers let out a minor complaint out of re- flex, but soon they calmed down.

“Did you not see what she has been doing? She hurt that girl and is still not satisfied,” Helel shouted. I hadn’t recovered from the slap yet while Zane volunteered to take Gwen to the hospital, who was groaning and pretending to fall.
