novelxo Chapter 337
327-Not Hiding Anymore.
'What the fuck, dad?" Zane was yelling and crying, throwing a fit like I have never seen him do before. Once Akin let go of him, he dropped to his knees and started sobbing loudly.
'Oh, shit!" I uttered and covered my mouth with my hands, whimpering in the agony of losing someone who I saw go from good to bad and bad to just no one.
Akin managed to grab my arm and pull me over his chest, wrapping his arms around me to comfort me while Maddox arrived at the place after getting the information to aid his twin.
'HE KILLED HER!' Zane cried loudly, pointing at Vasquez, who was bluntly staring at Zane before his eyes traveled to me and the grip over his gun tightened.
'She was a killer; she confessed to killing her dad,' Vasquez now knew his sons were looking at him differently, so he started explaining. He could have done that before killing her, but he was in such a hurry that he believed he didn't want Maura to live.
'She wasn't!" Zane argued.
'That man was not her father. She killed her abuser. As for the rest of the murders, she didn't do them," Akin blurted out whatever I had told him.
'You couldn't have waited before shooting her?" Now that Maddox knew what had happened, he yelled at his father and shocked him. 'Maddox! tone and volume!' Vasquez warned him.
'Fuck your tone and your volume!" Maddox shocked us one more time. We knew he was a little too aggressive, but we have never seen him argue with his parents. It was usually the other brothers, but it seems like seeing his brother in pain had upset him to the point that he no longer wanted to be known as the parent's pleaser.
'You killed his mate!" Maddox then added, and Vasquez's nod was a sign he was relieved he did.
'That's why I had to do it," although his confession didn't shock me because I kind of knew he would never allow another creature near his sons, but the brothers looked stunned.
'She was a fucking Huldra. What the fuck does that even mean? She was claiming to know Zane. That bitch was openly telling everyone that she knew Alpha King Zane and that he would come to save her. Do you not see why I had to rush to shut her up?" It was even more shocking that he didn't hide it anymore.
'She believed I would save her," Zane stopped crying and sat on his knees, laughing to himself, "she was too innocent, no?" He raised his head and watched his father gulp.
'I did it for you, my son. You deserve someone who holds status and is a powerful man's daughter. Not some huldra," Vasquez tried reaching for his son, but he seemed afraid of Maddox, who had his fists clenching in the moment.
'What is going on over there?"
The only one left on the scene was Sofia. Obviously, she heard everything and got here as soon as possible.
'Your husband killed my mate,' Zane had no emotions, and that was the scariest of his reactions, "your husband killed my mate, Sofia!"
The little bizarre scoff after finishing those words sent shivers down my spine.
'Zane! My son! What are you doing?" Sofia kneeled down beside him, and as soon as she cupped his face, he pushed her, and she landed on her back.
"Ah!" everybody gasped while Vasquez helped her get up.
'That's enough. You boys are acting like teens in love. One is in love with a huldra, and the other one is holding a wolfless omega in his arms," Vasquez's eyes turned to me, and anger was pretty visible at this point. 'Don't mention her,' Maddox stepped between us, blocking his father's vision from my face, and warned him.
'Don't you see what these women are doing to you guys?" Sofia had the nerve to comment on us when she was the one who fed my brother to one of her kids.
'They are curses," she added.
'You better take it back," it was I who spoke this time. I was feeling a bit weird in my body. The vast space and fresh air were just so comforting.
Comforting enough to transition.
'Or else?" Sofia placed her hands on her waist when demanding an explanation for my attitude.
Zane got up from the ground and started walking away, looking like a dead body. Maddox reassured Akin that he would stick with him and left the premises, but Sofia and I were still glaring into each other's eyes. 'Step away, son! This is where I end all these nasty women and free you all," Vasquez waved his gun at us, signaling Akin to remove his arms from around me.
'You want to fight, old man?" I asked, forcibly freeing myself from Akin's arm as Vasquez wanted.
'How dare y-Sofia lunged at me to slap me, but I stopped her and smacked her so hard that she landed on the ground with a thud.
'Ah!" Her little scream felt like a melody to my ears.
"What the fuck?" she groaned, watching Vasquez, who was as surprised as she was.
'You guys are intimidating her,' Akin didn't care what I did to his mother because he knew her truth, and somewhere, that irked his parents. The way their sons were more concerned for their mates than them was something they didn't want to see.
'That's it," Vasquez pointed the gun at me, but he couldn't hold it up for too long when my eyes started changing color and my bones began to crack.
'20 days!'
Ace giggled, reminding me what it was that she was trying to tell me back when we were in the car. At this point, I no longer cared and didn't resist the transition. While my body grew in size, Vasquez and Sofia seemed to have seen their worst nightmare come to life.
'Son! Save us!" Vasquez yelled in panic, leaving Sofia on the ground while trying to run for cover.
