Sharing Beatrice novel by Alexis Dee novel Chapter 513

Chapter 503 The Treaty

“What?” I inquired and rubbed my hand over my neck. I didn’t even know there was a hickey. That’s not why I had my hair on this side.

Akin cleared his throat but didn’t turn to make it obvious that he didn’t give me the hickey. Helel didn’t show any reaction. In fact, he turned his head to the other side before he led the way into the hallway.

Akin and I followed him, but I noticed that Akin’s hold over my hand wasn’t that strong anymore. It’s me holding his hand most of the time now. Once we entered the room prepared for us, we watched the elders of the council and Zane’s own team sitting there. Huia came after us and sat with Zane.

Our team was on one side of the table, while Zane’s was across from us.

Title of the document

I was trying my best not to meet eyes with Zane. He had been sitting in his chair and hadn’t even gotten up to greet any of us. His f*inger was constantly around his chin, and his head tilted.

“You wanted to talk,” Huia took the lead, bringing out some papers with some stuff of their own written on them. I assumed that Akin had informed them about the meeting and what it was about, so they came prepared with their demands.

“The chaos you have started needs to end,” Akin straightened his back to start talking.

Sitting among them in an all-white room with Zane only looking my way was so stressful. I was trying my best to look anywhere but at him, but now I noticed that he wasn’t looking away from me.

“I started nothing. At least not yet,” Zane replied, leaning over to one side and putting his l*eg over the other like the ignorant person he was.

“Then I must tell you, the moment you start, we will not hesitate to call war upon you and your ants,” Helel slammed his hand on the table, and everybody gasped.

That made Zane chuckle a little.

“You know why you were able to feel the evil in me before anyone else?” Zane asked Helel, stretching his arm out to rest his f*ingertips on the table. He was gently tapping them and making us agitated.

“Because we had more connection, despite me being the twin of Maddox. Every time I get into trouble, I call my muscular brother to come save my a*ss. And you would do that. You always came to my rescue, but then—what stopped you?” Zane raised his eyes from me to dart them at Helel.

“Your brother was succumbing to evilness, and you didn’t even care,” he shrugged, his eyes digging holes through Helel’s.

“That’s enough lies. You told me you never intended to change. Stop trying to manipulate him,” I couldn’t just sit there and let him play with Helel’s emotions like that.

“Or maybe someone came between the brothers. Everything changed after that, though,” Zane calmly commented while looking my way.
