Chapter 340
Beatrice Dismay:
We have been stuck here for hours on end. I was beginning to feel dizzier now. Although Helel was tired too, he was trying his best to stay awake for me.
"Don't worry, I will find a way out of here," he whispered, gently caressing my cheek.
"I am so down," I mumbled, feeling thirsty. My throat was aching as if big chunks of something greasy were stuck in it.
I was lumped over to the side of the ground and slowly dozed off.
"Beatrice! Listen to me," Helel sat beside me after twine for the fifth time to climb the walls of the well. He had been trying his best, but he had inhaled too much wolfbane to get to the top. However, that didn't stop him. "Come here," he held me up and sat me down in his lap, making me rest my head on his shoulder while he hugged me tightly, "I am not going to let us die here. We will get out of here, at least you will, and I promise you that," he whispered, rubbing my back.
"No, we are both getting out of here," I whispered with a lack of energy but much determination. I didn't know how we would do that, but I was certain we would find a way.
While we sat there with no hopes, we heard a voice coming from the top of the well. We were suddenly met with a hint of happiness.
"There is somebody up there," Helel announced while he chuckled softly in my ear, "we have been rescued, my babe," he added, and I got out of his lap to stand against the wall and try to focus on the person up there "Is anybody here," the voice came crashing back again.
"Hey! We are stuck in here," Helel yelled, echoing his voice and reaching the man. The man rushed to the opening of the well to peek down and give us a view of his face.
"Alpha King Helel?" Mykel's voice was much more recognizable this time.
"Beatrice!" he then added, even when I hadn't said a word, "everybody had been looking for you two," as he explained how he got to know I was with Helel. It made sense. We had been gone for a whole day. Obviously, the brothers panicked and reported us missing.
"How did you two end up here?" It was strange that he was the only one talking while Helel was looking around to see how he could ask him for help.
"It is a long story," Helel mumbled in guilt, refusing to talk about how his urge to ride me got us into this mess.
"Hey! You need to help us out of here as soon as you can. There are a lot of toxins down here, and we are feeling the pressure of them on our bodies now. Grab a rope quickly so that we can climb up and get out of this toxic place," Helel guided him through the process while I stayed silent.
Reign's face had popped into my memory after hearing Mykel's voice. He might not be a bad person, but to take advantage of a girl who needed his help was weird to me.
It wasn't even an illegal relationship, but I just couldn't get past the weirdness of everything. The timing was extremely weird.
"Right! A rope!" Mykel replied, seeming like he knew what to do, but then he started chuckling, and that compelled Helel and me to share a glance.
"What's so funny?" Helel grunted, sounding upset. We were in a really bad state here, and Mykel was having fun?
"No! it is nothing-it is just that...." Mykel took a pause to stop laughing first, "funny how you assumed I came here to save you, Mr. Dark Knight."
I was stunned.
The title wasn't a secret; I knew about it way too well.
But Helel, being a Dark Knight, was slowly becoming reasonable. Ever since he had returned, he had been wanting to save and help people.
"Mykel! Stop this nonsense and get us help," the way Helel didn't express any shock made me believe he already knew about it.
"You knew?" I asked him in a whisper, watching him steal his eyes from me,
"Gosh! That's what you were doing when you left the house in the middle of the night. Couldn't you tell me at least once?" I was fuming because I shared everything with him and he had been keeping such a big thing to himself.
"You would have resisted staying at home while I am out fighting with bad people if I had told you about it. And Beatrice! I didn't want you to get involved," he turned to face me and tried cupping my face in his hands when I slapped his hands and stepped back from him.
"Let's get out of here first," I frowned, murmuring grumpily
"Mykel! Are you here to help us?" I was the one who raised that question because, despite his statement being very intriguing, I also caught his intentions behind his sarcasm.
"It is a wonder how you were able to hide your intelligence and your status from us for so long, Princess Beatrice!" Mykel said from up there, "And yes! I am complimenting your intelligence because you are damn right. What makes him think I am here to help him?" He continued to be an asshole.
I shared a glance with Helel, who looked baffled as well.
We couldn't think of a reason why Mykel would hate Helel. It is not like Helel had ever done anything to him.
"Oh! My bad! You are probably wondering why I am being so mean to the Dark Knight," he sighed, "it is because I don't like any hero. I am actually working for the Man From Hell," those words and his statement were enough to send shivers down our spines.
"A Man from Hell?" I asked and gulped.
Does that mean he has also arrived?
