Chapter 442 Should Have Known (Beatrice Dismay)
I have been really stressed out ever since I heard about Zane and Maddox being missing. I don’t know why they had to go to the vortex, as they didn’t have anything going on there. After we were told about all the mess happening back home between Helel, Gwen, and Zane, Akin and I departed from my people.
My people were finally happy with Akin.
And now that we have marked each other, we are really looking forward to fixing everything at home.
As the plane landed, Akin and I were picked up from the airport by Colt and Reign. The two had been visibly upset and worried.
Title of the document
The car ride was filled with us simply sharing whatever we went through when we were apart. I told them about Igor and how he tried killing Akin, and they shared all about the ongoing war between the brothers because of Gwen.
Instead of going back to the mansion, we returned to Helel’s cabin. It was odd stepping inside his home after I broke up with him. I also found out that he and Gwen were staying together. I couldn’t be upset about it because that’ s something I had asked him to do. But that doesn’t mean it didn’t sting a little.
“Come,” Helel opened the door for us and didn’t even spare me a glance. He walked us inside and offered us seats.
Gwen walked out of the room and gave me a head nod. It’s really awkward now.
“So, what’s going on now?” I asked and noticed Helel secretly staring at me, making sure nobody saw us.
“They are missing,” Gwen whispered.
Helel was about to say something, but then he went awfully silent. I wondered what happened, but I decided not to ask him for now.
“They are at the vortex,” I announced, watching Helel frown.
“They took the white dagger,” Gwen was the one speaking most of the time, while Helel had lowered his head as if something was bothering him. “We shouldn’t delay and pay a quick visit then. That place is filled with negativity. When I was locating them, I felt such negative vibes from the vortex. Maybe that’s what drove Zane to visit that place?” Reign asked, her eyes staring into mine.
“Maybe,” I sighed. It was still unbelievable that Zane turned out to be the man from hell. I wonder how he will respond to that news. But I have made it my mission to help Zane and make sure the brothers stay together.
“Let’s go then,” I said, getting up from the couch.
“What about Gwen?” As we saw Helel join us, Colt questioned. It wasn’t safe to leave her alone by herself.
“I want to go after my brothers,” Helel turned to say to Gwen, who nodded in understanding.
“Then I will stay with her,” Colt straightened his back and mumbled.
“Are you sure?” Reign whispered, probably worried for him.
“My dear little pixie dust, I am a weredragon warrior. Just because I don’t fight someone on a regular basis doesn’t mean I cannot fight,” he said, gently kissing her nose to say goodbye to her.
It was a sight to see. The two looked so adorable together. And I was happy for Colt.
“See you then. Let us know if anything happens,” I said while making my way towards the exit. It was odd that both brothers stayed silent throughout this few-minute meeting.
Once we reached for the car, Akin got busy on the call to book us plane tickets, while Reign decided to go back inside to meet with Colt once again. The two were inseparable. But now I was left alone with Helel.
It was the most awkward encounter. “I am glad you are taking care of her,” I whispered, trying to avoid eye contact with him.
“Akin marked you?” Instead of responding to anything else, he went straight to discussing what had been bothering him. He walked straight ahead and faced me.
“Oh, yes,” I cleared my throat and nodded softly.
“Wow!” he scoffed.
“Sorry, what was that?” I asked and noticed him shaking his head while clenching his jaw at the same time.
“He gave you a second chance,” he smiled, making me frown at him. What did he mean by second chance?
“Didn’t you kiss him before when I was dead?” he asked, and the world shook from under my feet. He shouldn’t have mentioned that.
“You and I were never together at that time,” I blurted out when I decided not to let him turn the complete story around and accuse me instead.
“We were not, but you were with him. You kissed him, and then I came back to life, and you ditched him. But he still never complained and accepted you back,” he said, his teeth gritting as he spoke.
“I am sorry; were I and Akin official at that time?” I asked as I made dead eye contact with him, “What you did was completely different than what I did. I was nice enough to not slap you in the face, and here you are, making accusations like these,” I grunted without letting him speak.
It was killing me that I didn’t fully express my feelings because I didn’t want to hurt him, and he didn’t even care when saying these things to me.
“That’s the problem. You should have slapped me; you should have yelled at me, but you did nothing. It was as if you accepted it so easily. The very few hours later, I found you in Akin’s arms,”
Helel approached me even more aggressively and blocked my back with the car, his hands resting around me and locking me in.
“Wait—were you following us?” I asked in shock. I slept in Akin’s arms, and that’s the only interaction I can think of that he must have witnessed.
He shook his head in disbelief and then stepped back from me.
“It is not easy to lose everything,” he whispered under his breath.
“Well, tell me about it,” I said, taking a deep breath because soon Akin arrived. He spared us a glance before telling us the private jet was ready to take us to our desired location.
It was actually a good idea because even when we were facing problems with each other, our major concerns were Zane and Maddox.
It took us a lot of time to reach the mountains, and during that time, none of us spoke. Reign and I kept sitting together as we discussed more about Zane. She told me Gwen created some misunderstanding between the brothers by accusing Maddox of texting her some nasty stuff. But I didn’t know how much I believed in this story now.
Why the hell did Zane take Maddox to the vortex?
Once we arrived and reached the mountains, the very next instant, I began to feel very weird. My energy went down as I started feeling this pain in my chest.
“Beatrice! Are you alright?” Akin saw me hunching over and rushed for my aid, even before Helel could come towards me. It made Helel step back and stare at us with a fixed glance. There was lava everywhere, created by magic.
“I am just feelin—,” I uttered, and I noticed Reign looking behind me. “MADDOX!” Her ear-splitting scream made us turn around and look at the deadly sight.
