Sharing Beatrice A Luna To Her Stepbrothers by Alexis Dee

127-His Junk Swam In Water

He dragged me back home in silence. Although I asked him questions, he didn’t utter anything back to

me.

Once we were in the living room, he told me to wait while ne brings the brothers out for the meeting.

I knew Maddox and Zane were not home. Akin and Gwen were in the kitchen, as always, when Helel

brought them here.

Gwen entered first, followed by Akin, who stopped imme- diately when looking at me. I couldn’t tell why,

but it seemed ike he passed me a head-to-toe glance before taking a seat near the fireplace on a single

sofa.

“Hey,” Maddox, who had just entered the mansion, walked into the living room with Dream, who still

looked pret- ty upset and even frowned when our eyes connected.

Helel was standing at the door and collecting his brothers like he was collecting Pokémon characters.

Soon Zane walked in, all soaking wet. Now that everyone had settled down, I was wondering why Dream

hadn’t left for her pack.

Her sister was long gone, but she lingered around, and I assumed it was due to the argument with

Maddox over a kiss he had with me.

“Is there a special reason for you to gather us here?” Akin asked as he kept noticing how well-dressed I

was. His Grey sterling eyes would sharply roam around my face and then travel down to my dress before

they wandered off to Helel.

“Don’t tell me you have accepted your mate and we are here for the announcement,” Maddox muttered

under his clenched jaw and then gestured at Dream, who still had no clue who I was to the brothers.

“It’s not about me in specific. I have gathered you all to talk about us as a family,” Helel uttered, standing

between us and quickly taking turns to look at everyone’s reaction.

“Remember when we were little? Our parents used to take us to picnic on all the iconic war grounds to

tell us about their achievements and how our great werewolf warriors fought hard to secure our land and

packs from the deadly creatures.” Helel started off with a little background as to why he was go-ing to

suggest a trip.

“Oh, I remember when Helel lost his underwear in the stream and didn’t want to come out because

everyone was holding a camera and recording him. Mom was not there since— but hey, everybody

enjoyed,” Maddox brought it up, and everybody cackled. I wanted to not laugh because Helel looked

offended, but then I couldn’t help myself but let out a snicker.

“We are not talking about when we were kids,” Helel grunted, sounding offended.

“You were almost eighteen,” Akin corrected him with a playful look, and Helel narrowed his eyes even

more. He had his hands on his waist before he removed them and started tying up his fluffy long hair into

a man bun.

“Listen!” Helel said, taking deep breaths to calm himself down.

“We were having a competition. As always, Helel swam to the end before us but couldn’t get out to grab

the pack’s flag because he had lost his underwear. So while everybody cheered for him, he miserably

looked around for his under- garment,” Zane recalled in his heavy voice, clapped and start- ed laughing

loudly. His laugh was the loudest and creepiest.

It was so heavy that I feared the roof would collapse. But on the flip side, he looked very content tonight.

“Are you guys done already?” Helel finally intervened as he raised his voice and rolled his eyes at his

brother.

“Muscular Helel had his junk out in the water. How fasci- nating!” Dream teased, getting too comfortable

around the brothers.

Hearing her say that made Helel’s cheek turn red. He gulped and turned his body away from them. And

that’s when our eyes connected.

I was watching him with a smile on my lips, and I didn’t even realize it until a mild smile folded the

corners of his lips.

“Tell us, Helel, what were you going to talk about?” Akin finally stopped the playful bullying and gestured

at everyone to pay attention to Helel.

“I was thinking about a family trip to the Mountains Of The West to see the volcano before it erupts,”

Helel suggest- ed, and for a moment, everybody went silent.

It’s not like they didn’t already know Zane had sided with Mr. Mykel and promised to write him a

permission letter to take the students to the mountains, so their silence was eerie.

“We were supposed to change Zane’s mind and here you are suggesting the same thing now?” Akin

asked as he spread his arms around and rested them on the sofa’s handles. His body looked tensed no

matter how hard he tried to look at ease.

“I made that decision after realizing we might not get an opportunity to see the erupting volcano again,”

Helel gave an excuse, but Akin’s eyes showed he was upset with Helel.

“I have no problem with the idea. It sounds exciting,” Zane shrugged, being all happy with whatever

decision they were making.

Maddox didn’t say a word. In fact, he looked down and got lost in his own pool of thoughts.

“Well, I see Helel has already discussed it all. So I have no problem either,” Akin said before he passed

me a quick glance. I understood right then that he was disappointed at the fact that his brother didn’t

speak to him and made the plans with me.

“Wow! I better start packing then.” Dream, who was not supposed to come, clapped her hands excitedly,

and every- body’s attention turned to her. Nobody wanted her to come, but since she had invited herself

in, we couldn’t stop her from coming.

“I hope you guys have a good time,” Gwen, very sneakily, let us know she won’t be coming.

Helel and I shared a glance, and then I turned to her.

“Come on! You have to come or I will think you still haven’ t forgiven me,” I pouted, forcing a fake smile

across her lips.

“We cannot leave you here all alone,” Akin added, and Gwen had to nod but immediately excuse us to

depart for her room.

It was going to be a big week for us.
