Sharing Beatrice A Luna To Her Stepbrothers by Alexis Dee
Chapter 28 – My Wolf Wants All Of Them.
“Why? What did I do?” I kept murmuring while getting dragged to my room by Zane. He had clasped my wrist to make me follow him.
“What is going on?” Helel must have seen us from the living room. He rushed after Zane and followed us to my room.
“Zane! Are you out of your mind?” I heard Akin calling for Zane and sauntering upstairs. I had no clue why Zane was dragging me into my room and why Maddox would come for me. The instant Zane shoved me into my room, he locked the door behind me.
“What are you doing? Why did you lock her in?” Helel grunted from the outside. Hearing my mate show concern regardless of his true intent was such a blessing to me. At least I knew somebody would be looking out for me. As for Akin, he wasn’t even my mate, yet I kept thinking about him.
“Maddox is coming,” Zane mumbled.
“So? He needs to get his S*hi*t together. We cannot hide her every time he comes in. If by any chance father and her mother ended up having a mating ceremony, we will have to accept her as our stepsister,” Akin yelled at Zane in frustration. Helel and Zane remained silent for a moment, and I know why. The idea of accepting me as their stepsister might sound disgusting now that we found out we were mates.
“That’s not what’s the problem,” Zane finally snapped out of silence and murmured in a guilty tone. I stood inside the room, able to listen to them clearly, and wonder what took over Maddox.
“Then tell us what is going on?” Helel pressurized him. I wanted to know what my fault was.
“I will just tell you this much, we need to make sure he doesn’t get any closer to her. We know his anger knows no limits. If he hurts her, we will get in hot water with our father,” Zane was beating around the bush and still covering for his brother. His restating Maddox’s threat of hurting me compelled me to hug myself and step away from the door.
“He won’t be able to hurt her. Do you think I will stand here and let him hurt her?” Akin’s voice and statement brought not only a smile to my lips, but it also silenced his brothers.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
“Now open the door for her,” Akin ordered Zane, and in silence, I heard the unlocking of the door. It was then that the door opened and I watched as Akin walked inside the room.
“I am sorry for his behavior. He will not touch you again,” He said, his eyes gesturing at my wrist, where Zane later held me to drag me after him.
“Thank you,” I whispered, and without further communication, Akin walked out of the door. Helel and Zane were watching this little encounter with no delivery of words. I wondered if they felt a little jealous or not.
Hopefully, they did.
I didn’t like the cold shoulder they gave me most of the time. Ever since I was a child, I have craved attention, affection, and security. It really hurt me when I realized my mates were not into showing affection. But maybe that will change with time.
Soon they will have all left for their rooms. I stayed inside my room, listening to the thunder and the loud noise caused by the storm. Soon it started raining too, and the whole ambiance changed. My room looked even scarier in the evening.
By that time, I thought maybe they had taken care of Maddox and he wouldn’t come to t*ortur*e me. But I was wrong. It was around 7 pm when I heard some commotion downstairs, and my heart sank in my chest.
“f*uc*king let me go,” It was Maddox. I hadn’t spent too much time with him, yet I was able to recognize his voice. Jumping out of the bed, I rushed towards the door to lock it from the inside. I don’t know how much it will help to keep an Alpha out of the room, but I tried.
“You will not come back wasted just to hara*s*s her,” It was Akin, sounding angry from outside my bedroom. They had already reached my room and were now trying to stop Maddox from opening the door.
“Don’t tell me she has melted your heart,” Maddox yelled, his voice containing anger, hate, and frustration. Something I didn’t expect to hear in my mate’s voice for me.
But then I focused on Akin’s words, and my heart felt a wave of comfort wrapping around it like a warm blanket.
“Maddox! Stop talking nonsense. We don’t want you to make a stupid mistake that will cost us all badly,” Helel jumped in and was probably the one blocking the door, too.
“Mistake? You don’t even know the mistake that has been made. I am only here to correct it,” Maddox yelled, and soon the commotion turned into a struggle. Maybe they were fighting him off, because I saw the door getting slammed and the handle rattling.
“What are you talking about?” Akin’s voice filled my ears. They have once again stopped fighting to ask Maddox what was wrong with him.
“We should go talk in the living room.” It was the first time that Zane spoke up.
“No! We are not talking about it anywhere else. I am here to resolve the matters and get rid of the filth that has been shoved at me,” Maddox grunted, and shocked me. Was he really talking about the mate bond we felt?
“What are you talking about? Okay, tell us and we will help you.” It was then that Akin tried to get the words out of his mouth.
I gulped because I knew exactly who he was calling filth.
“She is my... my mate!” As soon as Maddox said that, silence engulfed his brothers. I could only imagine how Helel and Akin felt about it.
I felt weird and gross for attracting so many mates.
“Wh—at?” I heard Helel stutter, probably thinking my wolf was crazy for attracting everyone.
