Chapter 361
Sharing Beatrice A Luna To Her Stepbrothers by Alexis Dee Book 2
Chapter 351 - On The Porch Of The Cabin
I woke up that morning with mixed emotions. It was almost as if I never thought I could be someone who would be the end of the brothers. I refused to believe it. As I stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom for twenty minutes in silence, I was preparing myself to go on a war with the brothers.
By that, I simply meant I had decided to tell them.
The blue shirt and grey jeans were hand-picked by Helel before he went to bed last night. I didn't get to see him when I woke up because it seemed like he had freshened up before me and left the room. Usually, I would get up before him, but I was wondering if he was still upset with me.
Once I made my way to the garden, I found everyone waiting for me at the breakfast table. Out of so many dishes, nothing looked appetizing.
"Morning!" Akin greeted me with a smile. In return, I gave him a faint smile and then turned to look at Helel, who was staring at me without blinking his eyes. I am sure he was worried and had many questions for me, but the good thing about Helel was that he would never bring our personal issues to the public. With that being his strategy, he started filling my glass with fresh orange juice.
"I spoke to Dream early this morning. She has asked me to bring the brothers to the cabin,"
Reign decided to be the first one to set out the topic of the day.
Everybody was so focused on Dream while Colt was sneaking glances at me, asking me in his eyes if I looked for the mole. It was only after I nodded my head that he closed his eyes and pouted sadly. "Then we shouldn't delay. What if Huia is up to something and Dream wants us to catch her before she gets successful in her plan?" Maddox suggested as he watched everyone's face for a response. "That sounds like a plan to me. We all know Huia is behind all this crap. We should have been on our way already," Zane agreed with Maddox.
I was trying to decide when to tell them they have another anti-hero sitting right among them.
How would they react? Would that explain why I wasn't able to reject them before?
Oh God!
I was having weird thoughts now that I knew I was the Mistress of Doomsday.
"Are we arresting Dream too?" Reign was very subtle about her wishes, but I could tell she didn't want them to arrest Dream.
"It depends on how much she is involved and how much damage she has done," Akin replied to her, but Helel, on the other hand, shook his big head to dismiss Akin's claims.
"She is getting arrested, regardless. Her crime of siding with the evil is enough for us to take that step," Helel's statement was met with smirks. They were all enjoying him being a hero and being overly protective of his people.
"Let's go," Akin told his brothers, and everybody got up but me. I was so occupied with my own thoughts that I didn't even notice they were waiting for me.
"Beatrice! You are not coming?" It was then that Helel's voice broke me free from my own hell, and I stared at them one by one.
"Of course she is coming," Colt said, with a weak smile on his lips. He approached me and pulled me up on my feet, "Her royal highness is just too busy relaxing," he joked, and nobody really thought too far.
"I was supposed to have a talk with them about me," I whispered to Colt when getting into the backseat with him. I noticed he was eyeing me and trying to tell me something, but I didn't pay much attention to it until he punched my wrist and pointed directly at Helel, who was in the driver's seat and staring at me through the rearview mirror.
"Oh, sorry!" I slapped my forehead and rushed out of the car to sit in the passenger seat with him. I have no clue what had gotten into me, but I was absentminded the whole day.
"You know what! I will go sit in Maddox's car," Colt bolted out to be with Reign and left me alone with a raging beast.
I even muttered some cuss words at him, and that stupid right hand only winked my way before sliding into the backseat of Maddox's car.
"Do you want to go there too?" Helel asked and started the car.
"I am sorry. I was " before I could finish, Helel interrupted me.
"You have been apologizing a lot, Beatrice," it wasn't a question but a comment, "may I ask why you didn't want to sleep in the bed with me last night?" As he asked me that question, I on the road and clenching his jaw. He was visibly bothered and upset.
"Oh!" I sighed dramatically, "It was actually-my back was hurting so I was moving a lot, and I didn't want to wake you up," I lied, biting the inside of my cheek.
"I can feel the difference in you, Beatrice. I don't know what is going on with you, but you are upsetting me," he said, not shying away from expressing his thoughts and feelings about my changing behavior.
"I promise I have a good reason for everything. I will let know when I can," I mumbled while looking away when he gently pressed my hand, holding it while holding the steering wheel in his other hand. "Just know I am with you." he whispered.
We drove up to the woods and got out together. We were all headed to the cabin, and Reign was taking the lead. Once we reached the cabin, we were surprised to see Dream sitting on the porch, as if she had been waiting for us.
"She is sleeping!" Dream said in a monotone. The moment she raised her head, she stared directly at Colt, and a tear ran down her cheek.
