269-Get Out Of His Head.
'I'll go check the door; you keep her silent." That's when Pamela rushed over to me, and as I opened
my mouth to scream for help, she grabbed the yellow yam ball and shoved it in my mouth.
’Mmmhhhh!" I protested, but it was of no use.
'Now stay here with her, okay?” she told Markus, who nodded shakily and walked out of the room to
attend the door.
She left the door open for Markus to hear what was going on and take measures in accordance with
that.
'Don't get too cocky. He will never find you," Markus smirked through fear. I don't know why it seemed
like he was convincing himself and not me.
That’s when he went silent and pointed at something placed on the desk from afar.
’You see that powder? It causes hallucinations. The instant your Alpha Zane thinks he's got it all
together, my mother will sprinkle some of this dust on him, and then he will lose himself. He will come
here but not see you.’ Now that he had explained to me why Pamela had taken such a huge step with
no fear, I understood why the plan had been in the works for weeks.
He then went silent to listen to the conversation going on downstairs.
’Hey,'' Pamela greeted him and let him in, I believe. I closed my eyes as it was like watching heaven's
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdoor from a small distance, but I couldn't do anything about it.
’Hi Pamela. I didn't want to bother you so early in the morning, but I came here to see Beatrice. Can
you call her for me?" Hearing Zane's voice was such a comfort for me in this state.
'Oh! She never returned home. I thought she was staying at a hotel with you." Pamela continued to
blind him with her lies.
'My brother dropped her at the field. What are you talking about?" Zane sounded almost annoyed with
her.
’I don’t know about any of it. Maybe she changed her mind and decided to visit her mother instead."
She lied some more. Her mother never came back. She called me and told me she was not going to
live in a small house in the middle of the field."
’Hm! That’s weird. Beatrice would never-," Zane was showing his concern when Pamela interrupted
him.
’She means a lot to you, doesn't she?" Her question made me frown. What was she trying to do?
'A lot is a very small word." Zane responded. His voice was not static, so I believe he was walking
around the house.
He must have suspected something was wrong.
'Are you sure she didn't tell you to tell me I am not here?" Zane questioned.
’No! I would not lie to you for anyone.’ Pamela used her charming, trusting voice to comfort Zane.
’You seem to care a lot about Beatrice, which is very nice of you, but what about Maura?" That was
when she shocked me.
Her mentioning that name only meant one thing; she knew about them.
’What about her?" Zane asked, and his voice stabilized.
’She is a good girl,” Pamela commented. I know Maura is a nice person, but the realization that Maura
is in love with Zane drained my energy.
’I know," Zane replied.
’Why did you abandon her?" she then continued to ask him, pester him for leaving Maura. I actually
didn't know he had abandoned her. I wanted him to be honest with her and maybe try to make things
right with her.
’I cannot be with two friends," Zane said. His short answers were filled with suspicion. Or maybe I just
wanted to believe he was not trusting Pamela so easily.
’Of course, but why did you choose Beatrice? She had been with every brot—," Pamela' s words were
stuck in her throat when I heard a grunt from Zane.
'Don't fucking talk about her character. Beatrice is an innocent girl with a lot of beauty and charm. She
is bound to attract anyone who lays eyes on her. That's not her fault." The way he defended me and
didn't even let her finish her words was really respectful.
I don’t know why, but I was suddenly feeling so bad that I had to step back so that Maura could have

’I was just sayin—Pamela stuttered.
I looked over to Markus and found him enraged at Zane for raising his voice at his mother.
’I will let you know when she contacts me." That was Maura's way of saying Zane should leave now.
'What is the emergency?" Zane asked, and it was in that moment that I heard someone step on the
staircase. ’My son sleeps on that floor. He is a bit sick and gets really anxious when a stranger steps on
that flooooor—,’ Pamela tried stopping him, but his footsteps began to sound louder.
Markus got up from the bed and sprinted to grab the powder. I was worried about what they were going
to do to Zane.
Obviously, they wouldn't dare hurt him because, no matter how big a monster Markus was, he could
not survive against all the brothers combined.
But —they can make him hallucinate and leave, and then they will get rid of me. I would not let Pamela
trick Zane, so I started rattling the chains, making Markus glare at me in shock.
’What was that?’ Zane's voice came from near the room.
'That was—," Pamela rushed after him, but Zane was the first one who slammed the door open and
rushed inside. But before his eyes could even land on me, Markus puffed the powder into his face.
Zane closed his eyes and shook his head. His white shirt was filled with blue dust. Markus pulled the
yarn out of my mouth to hear me cry for help.
’Zane! Don't let the powder get into your head," I voiced, but I knew it was of no use. Zane started
coughing and stepped back, almost crashing to the ground.
'How about we peer into his head?" Pamela smiled as she watched her son, who looked very excited to
explore Zane's mind.
