Sharing Beatrice A Luna To Her Stepbrothers by Alexis Dee novel Chapter 313

303-Another One Bites The Dust.

Beatrice Dismay:

I watched Akin narrow his eyes in my face and then gulp. I feared hearing hateful words from him.

It would be too much for me.

’Stay!" He closed his eyes and whispered, ’Please, stay!"

He sounded like he was requesting. I kept staring at him before I cleared my throat, calming my racing breaths, and then uttered, "I'm a weredragon!"

Zane flinched behind him. Maybe he didn’t know about the letter because the way he frowned and approached us made it clear.

"I know,* Akin nodded, "Stay," he said again, despite being reminded that I'm the creature he hates the most.

"So that you can punish me?" I asked in the softest voice because he was standing too close to me.

"I can never!" He sounded so offended when he heard me ask that.

"Then?" I asked again, feeling weirdly at ease. His energy was positive toward me. I could almost hear his heartbeat from this close.

"Just don't leave me. Nobody has to know what you are," he requested while his brother agitatedly walked beside us, running a hand through his hair and expressing his anxiety.

"I don’t want to live secretly anymore. Akin! I’m not ashamed of who I am. I am a proud—weredragon princess," and as soon as those words left my lips, he stepped back and gasped.

"What?" Akin and Zane spoke in unison.

The two were staring at my face, but it was Akin who looked more shocked.

"You are the chil— one of the twins that you said—," Akin paused when he rubbed his face in his hands and then sighed.

"Wait! What twins?" Zane frowned, hunching over to ask me.

"My parents said Pamela lied about everything out of anger and rage,* Akin whispered in disbelief. He was now conflicted because I had a reason to lie about his parents just to clear the name of my kind.

"I understand if you don’t want to trust my words, but I cannot stay back. I have to clear the names of my people and rescue them,” it felt so good to be finally talking about my people and my dragon.

"Let's get out of here first,* Akin said, then gently patted Zane's chest when he watched him open his mouth to question me again. Zane looked frustrated that he didn't know about something before anyone else.

"I’m not going anywhere. I am returning home," I protested, but Akin kept shaking his head at me.

"You cannot free them until you have proven them innocent. We don't even know how they are trapped behind that magical door. What if my father and the council send people to collect you while you haven’t even freed them?" he argued while deepening his stare into my face.
