Sharing Beatrice A Luna To Her Stepbrothers by Alexis Dee

Chapter 32 – Now is Not The Time

Zane’s POV:

It was pretty chilly in the attic, and we hadn’t moved away from the screen for hours by now. Sitting in

front of thirty screens and our backs facing each other’s backs, we kept our eyes peeled to make sure

we didn’t miss anything.

We wouldn’t normally do that if it’s a regular storm, but as Akin insisted, this is no regular one. We had

to be attentive to every single detail.

But I wasn’t paying 100% of my attention to it. The thought of Beatrice occupied part of my brain. I tried

not to think about her at this particular moment, but I couldn’t. Now that the truth has been exposed to

my brothers, I wonder what solution they will come up with.

Could it be that we will have to reject her one by one?

I kept my calm until I couldn’t take it any longer. I needed to just get out of here for a moment.

“Hey guys,” I said, taking off my headphones and waving my hands behind their backs.

“Guys!” scrunching a piece of paper, I aimed it at Helel’s head, and he took off his headphones to look

my way.

“It’s getting pretty cold in here. I will go grab a beer really quickly. Do you guys want anything?” I asked

him without making eye contact with him.

“Fine. Go get them quick. Get me a protein bar though, and a few bottles of beer for us,” Helel let out a

sigh as he fixated his eyes on my screen and spun his attention from one to the other, trying to keep a

check on both the walls with screens. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

I got up from my seat before Akin could spot me and f*orc*e me to sit down and rushed out of the attic

to downstairs.

‘To be honest, I don’t think she will let me touch her again. after I didn’t defend her and even lied to her,’

I told Zey, who had been silent the whole time.

‘She has no other choice. It’s the desperation in her eyes that makes her vulnerable,’ Zey disagreed

with me.

‘I should check up on her and give her a good excuse to make it seem like I had to act tough in front of

my others,’ I wasn’t too sure if she would be that desperate to open her room for me again, so I wanted

to talk to her and persuade her I did it for some reason.

But I couldn’t come up with an excuse good enough until Zey mentioned something.

‘Tell her you got jealous of her mates.’ His words made me stop in my tracks and a smile appeared on

my lips.

‘I think that will work,’ feeling confident about myself, I sauntered my way to her room when a tap on my

shoulder halted my proceeding steps.

“Huh?” I turned to see Maddox frowning at me.

“I thought you told Helel you were getting us beer,” His sharp jaw was clenching visibly as he

questioned me.

“I’m going to but I decided to check up on her,” I said very calmly as if it wasn’t a big deal.

“Why? Why would you want to check up on that nuisance?” Maddox’s blue eyes were turning darker

with every passing second. Just the mention of her was making him crazy.

“I took your side and not Helel and Akin’s. Now that I want to do something my own way, I don’t want

you to interrupt,” I told him, trying to get into her room, but Maddox slammed his hand on the door and

stopped me from passing.

“Maddox! Let it go. I will just speak to her and then return to the attic. If we keep wasting time here, our

brothers will suspect something is going on downstairs.” I tried to kick some sense out of him. He

looked lost for a minute before he sighed and stepped aside.

The moment I entered the room, goosebumps crept over my skin. She was nowhere to be found. It was

only then that I realized why Maddox wasn’t letting me inside.

“Madd–,” before I could yell to get his attention, he walked inside and hushed me.

“I know what you are freaking out about. She is gone, okay? I took care of her,” he stated coldly and

stupidly. It took me a minute to shake my head and comprehend what he was telling me.

“What have you done? What did you do to her?” I groaned angrily, muttering when asking him what a

stupid step he took.

“I told you, I took care of her. Rejected her and kicked her out of the house,” the moment he noticed

how disappointed I looked in him, his confidence shattered.

“Are you f*uc*king kidding me? Maddox! You didn’t get rid of her. You got us all in very serious trouble,”

I yelled at him and tried to sprint out of the room but he got a hold of my hand and prevented me from

leaving.

“Let me go. Do you want her mother to call here and find out her daughter went missing right under the

alpha king’s nose? Do you want that reputation? And let’s see if she called her mother from

somewhere and told her what you did to her. What then?” I yelled out all the potential dangers to him,

and he realized he screwed up.

“I didn’t think about it,” he whispered, and that’s when he let me go. I ran upstairs and told my brothers

what happened. I didn’t want Maddox to get into trouble, but he had left me with no choice.

Helel and Akin didn’t speak to him, but they left their spots and ran downstairs with me. I had never

seen Helel and Akin so distressed before as we looked for her.

“I will go check the cameras,” it was then Akin suggested, and we found a ray of hope.

As we waited for him in silence, Akin came back, telling us he saw her walk towards the back side of

the mansion. I leaped to my feet and sprinted before any of them. The night was scary enough for her. I

wondered what the rain and cold weather must have done to her.

Finally, I spotted her lifelessly resting on the bench.
