I had been sick and worried ever since I watched that video. The bell for the first class didn't let me
investigate. I rushed over to the class and sat down with a lot of worries clouding my mind.
I feared for Maddox. If anybody finds out he has been protecting a weredragon, he will get in trouble.
The class eventually came to an end, and by that time, I was devastated.
I rushed out of the class and ran into the hallway to meet Zane outside in the parking lot.
Instead of finding Zane, I bumped into Flynn. He had reached the car before any of us and had been
waiting for our arrival. I stopped dead in my tracks and rolled my eyes at him. I didn't want to get closer
to him and get indulged in another heated debate when my mind was already all over the place.
"Seems like you got my message," Flynn commented, looking straight and leaning back against the car
while crossing his arms over his chest.
It was evident what message he was trying to convey. But it shocked me in the worst way possible.
"What do you mean?" I still asked, not wanting to believe he had leverage over us.
"Oh, come on! You know what I'm talking about," Flynn chuckled, laughing at my attempt to hide from
the truth.
"You recorded us?" I gasped, reaching for him and blocking his view of the road.
"See! Now that you want to talk, you are getting in my way. What happened to staying away from me
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtand blah blah?" He mocked me for my devastation.
"Flynn! Tell me, why do you have that recording on your phone?" I didn't raise my voice. I wasn't in that
state, anyway. I was the one who wanted him to remain calm and delete the recording, so I had to
adjust.
"Because it's a crime that he committed. And unlike him, I wouldn't go behind my daddy dearest's back.
I cannot defend someone who has been betraying our kind by keeping a weredragon hidden. in the
pack." Flynn touched his ears to express how wrong Maddox had done to everyone.
"He didn't do it. I was the one who did it," I instantly said to get the blame for myself.
"The recording says otherwise, but I admire how you are defending him." Flynn looked eerily relaxed.
"Because I care about him. He is not a bad person." I muttered as I watched him let out a crackle upon
hearing me talk about Maddox.
"How can you do this to your brother?" I then thought I should use that against him. Maybe he will think
through his actions and not hurt his brother?
"Huh! Just like you can fuck your brother," those words from Flynn' s lips caused me terror.
"I---," I gulped, realizing he heard every bit of the conversation from last night.
"I didn't know you were a brother fucker." The disrespect he held in his voice made me squirm. If he
didn't have that video with him, I'd have attacked him.
"Why do you have that video on your phone? What are you going to
do with it?" I asked in a frenetic tone. Watching him smirk wider was making my heart skip a beat.
"It all depends on you, Beatrice." Flynn said, "If you work with me, maybe I will even delete the video,"
he claimed.
But the problem was what he might expect from me. I had to gulp and gather all the strength I could
muster to ask him what it is that he wants from me.
"I cannot accept you. My mother loves Lord Vasquez. It will break her heart," I mumbled, lowering my
head to hide my eyes from him.
"It's okay. I'm not asking you to accept me," he shrugged, making me even more concerned.
"Then what is it that you want from me?" I had only asked him when Zane appeared out of nowhere.
He looked a bit skeptical when watching us interact and stand so close by.
"Oh! Beatrice! You are so damn cute. Fine! You can make me your special omelet," Flynn, being an
asshole, snickered as he lied.
I know he was pissing off Zane, and, sadly, I couldn't even call out his lie. I had to steal eyes from Zane
and pretend like I didn't even see him.
"Ready to go home?" Flynn asked me. But Zane didn't let me answer him. He grabbed my shirt
between his fingers and dragged me to the side, opening the door to the backseat for me and eyeing
me to get inside.
I understood that if I stayed out with Flynn for another minute, Zane would lose his mind.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFlynn also rushed inside the car, but instead of taking the passenger seat, he sat in the back seat with
me. Zane was the one
driving this time, and I could tell he wasn't comfortable at all with Flynn sitting with me.
After starting the engine, Zane adjusted the mirror to me and hit the road.
Flynn tried having little conversations with me, and I forcibly indulged.
After we reached home, I didn't speak to anyone and ran over to my room. I took a long shower to ease
up my muscles.
I was frightened at what Flynn could do with this video.
My mom came to me and asked me to have lunch with them more than five times, and every time I
gave her a new excuse. I was just not ready to be around anyone, so I let Flynn take advantage of the
video and make me interact with him.
Once I had sat down in my bed, I watched Flynn's messages pop up on my phone's screen. He wasn't
using his regular number, which was clever of him.
I took a deep breath and read the messages. It was at that moment that I wished I had left this place
long before.
Unknown: You were asking me, what do I want from you?
Unknown: Then hear me out.
Unknown: I want to do what the brothers did with you.
Unknown: Each and everything.
