Chapter 390 - A Whole New Era Of Troubles
Beatrice Dismay
The slumber of a long time ended, and my body felt heat run through it once again when I opened my eyes and found myself in Helel's arms.
His sight and presence, his scent and warmth-I felt alive again.
The sun was shining brightly, making me close my eyes almost immediately for a few seconds to get used to it.
When I first saw him, my brain instantly warned that maybe he took this decision of waking me up against the will of brothers, but then when he sat down and put me under a tree. I saw the others stand around me. They had their eyes fixed on my face as they examined me. Maddox was watching me with a mild smile and teary eyes. Zane looked intimidated and was ready to steal me from the others. Colts wide, full-tooth smile was like a comfort I cannot explain. Reign had a prideful grin on her lips. And Akin!
He looked at comfort and ease. There was even a little smile on his face, but his calm breathing was all I could hear, even from this far away.
I have opened my eyes again but haven't said a thing. Helel knelt before me and gently cupped my face in my hands.
"Do you think she can hear us?" I heard Colt whisper in Reign's ear, "Maybe she lost her memory. It's been a very long time that she's been sleeping."
"Colt, it's only been a few months. They are a lot, but not enough for someone to lose their memory," Reign said, shaking her head steadily when correcting him.
"Or maybe," Colt opened his mouth again when I began to smile. He hadn't changed.
"Ahhh!" Colt placed his hand on his chest and exhaled in relief.
"Hi," I said, and smiles were back on everyone's faces. Helel rushed and hugged me tightly, his arms tied behind my back and holding me in.
There was something that had changed again in his body language. He wasn't resisting, in fact, he was very clingy now.
It's been an hour since I woke up, and Helel hasn't left me alone. He was sticking to my back, hugging me from the back with his face buried in my neck.
"He reminds me of that honor movie where a ghost girl was sticking on a guy's bac...," Colt shut up when I warned him through my eyes.
I could tell Helel had been through a lot.
"Helel!" I said his name, and he instantly lifted his head to pay attention to what I had to say.
"Can you please bring me that milkshake you drink?" I requested, and after a pause, he nodded excitedly. He looked so happy that I asked him to get me something.
Although I noticed that he didn't exactly walk in the direction of the road, I didn't say anything until he had disappeared.
"He doesn't travel in cars anymore," Colt commented, because he had noticed that I might be wondering.
"Why is that?" I asked.
I hadn't left the shelter of the tree. Exhaling and inhaling the fresh air felt so good.
"He left the mansion a few months ago," Akin said, taking his eyes from me.
They were all sitting around me as if I were a new animal in a zoo.
"After he viciously attacked me, left me to die, and then kept coming back to tight me," Zane's scoff and head shake while remembering that day made me realize they were still not over that argument.
"What's going on? Why haven't you two sorted it out already?" I asked, as I couldn't sit silently anymore.
"I would have loved to had he not been listening to Gwen and doing whatever she tells him to do," Zane shrugged as he said their names in one sentence. My heart sank in my chest, making my blood run cold. "Did something happen while I was gone?" As I asked that question, I found them shaking their heads. It was only Zane who looked like he knew more.
"Nothing happened. Helel doesn't even let Gwen around him," Colt retorted and defended Helel, "He had been left alone. Everybody looked at him like he was a monster, so he moved out, suffering and living alone." "Because he had been wandering around recklessly, throwing a fit, and not to mention he hid the dagger somewhere even when everybody asked him to hand it over to Akin because we trust Akin more than we trust him," the way Zane aggressively spoke about Helel made me realise maybe that was the problem.
Helel has to be bothered or feel threatened. The way Zane was calling him incompetent or untrusted could be a reason for his anger.
"I am not going to justify his act of violence against his brothers, but I will say maybe you should refrain from making statements like this. Helel had always been very helpful and trustworthy. He had given his best for everyone, so calling him that is like a slap to his ego," as soon as I defended Held, Zane glared me in the eye and muttered.
"So, you don't care how he beat me up and tried to kill me or that he is holding that dagger? What is he going to do with that? Huh?" His aggression changed towards me; I became the object of it.
"Zane!" Akin instantly interrupted him. "She just woke up. Give her a f*uc*king break," Akin's deep and husky grunts silenced Zane, who looked disappointed if not upset.
"Yeah. I think we should let her heal quickly so that we can deal with the matter of Igor as well," Colt commented, and my forehead formed a frown.
"Igor?" I had never heard this name before, but the looks on their faces told me that the name wasn't too pleasant for their ears.
"Your weredragon mate. The Midwest is free now, and the first thing weredragon king did was to call us and let us know he has the pendant and that he wants his mate back," Maddox explained while I felt like I had been shoved into a different dimension, completely lost.
