Sharing Beatrice novel by Alexis Dee novel Chapter 18

18-Stealing My Pills

“Him! Is he— oh yes! When you fell out of that window, he was there with you. He was right beside you when you were off your meds.” I took the alpha king’s intelligence for grant- ed. Zane did the math perfectly.

“Both my brothers?” He looked shocked and amazed at the same time. I was shaking my head and begging him through my eyes to not make a noise. It would be a disaster if Helel heard him from inside the room.

“Beatrice!” Helel knocked on the door once again, and Zane calmed down. Looking at him made me uneasy. The way he was excitedly jumping around and smiling made me feel like I was going to become his object of entertainment.

“I am fi-ne!” I yelled from inside, gulping the fear down my throat while Zane walked back and placed his hands on ei- ther side of the wall, and blocked me in his arms.

“But you were scared last night. Don’t be stubborn. I am only doing this because I don’t want us to get blamed for not taking care of you.” Helel sounded serious and also forced. I bet he was offering me his time out of guilt. But even if I wanted to invite him in, I couldn’t. I wish I hadn’t stopped Zane from leaving.

“Both my brothers! Wow!” Zane repeated himself, his eyes staring at my eyes and then traveling down to my lips.

“I said I am fine. Thank you for offering your help,” I yelled once again. My heart was pounding in my chest, sweat run- ning down my temples, while Zane looked like he had some other theories running in his head now.

“Fine. I offered my help and you declined. Now, if any- thing happens, I won’t get blamed for it.” Helel was obviously only here out of guilt and not because his wolf was worried for his mate. I just didn’t get how someone could feel the mate bond and yet not fall for their mate. Was I that hideous of a person that nobody wanted to be mates with me?

“Hey!” Zane snapped his fingers in front of my face and pulled me out of my dream world. “So what are you?” he asked. “Do you feel a mate bond with everyone? Or is it just the alphas and alpha kings?” He was obviously interested in knowing what kind of messed up creature I was. Even I didn’t know it myself.

“And that person who wants to come to get you, is he also your mate? Did you run away from someone?” Now that he had found out about my mates, he was trying to explore more of my personal life.

“No!” I shook my head. “I didn’t have any other mates.” I frowned in fright.

“You said that when I asked you about Maddox and Helel, too, so I don’t know. But tell me one thing, did anything sexual happen between you and my brothers? Oh! Are you going to mate with both of them?” He kept questioning me and mak- ing me uneasy.

“I don’t want to talk to you,” I uttered in distress, feeling like he was forcing me into exposing my truth to him. I closed my eyes and started crying. I had been sheltered my whole life, now I felt like I was running in the wild with beasts chas- ing after me.
