293-Losing Myself.
Reign's POV:
I arrived early at Mykel's house to have a word with him. He had been acting differently for quite a few
weeks, and I couldn't really understand why.
*1 have been calling you for two hours," I complained when entering his apartment in the busiest area
of the pack. It was a wonder that he rented this apartment without even telling me anything. I never
knew he was coming over to stay in our pack this time.
’And you can tell why,’ he sounded bored with me, "I am unpacking," he added just in case I didn't get
what he meant.
’What is going on, Mykel? Did I do something wrong? You have been super dry with me for weeks
now," I tried approaching him, but as he raised his palm to make me stop in my tracks, my worries took
on the shape of reality.
’Is it because of my sister? She didn't mean to shame us for our relationship. In fact, she has no idea
what she was talking about. It is not like she ever cared about me. She was always busy with her cool
group of friends, and now she remembered out of nowhere that her sister needs her protection,’ I was
yammering against Dream because she was never there for me.
Being the cool one gave her a lot of advantages in the beginning, and she made sure she used them to

the past. There was not once a day when she reminded me I was only her shadow, but now that I was
beginning to find myself, she was interrupting.
’It is no—t her," he closed his eyes and said after taking a deep breath, "It is the crowning ceremony
competition between you two that is bothering me,’ he finally explained the reason behind his distress.
It was indeed bothersome that my father wanted us to fight and even kill each other to be able to sit on
a throne in peace.
*My father has his twisted way of showing us how much he hates us,’ I sighed, not believing my
father's words whenever he told us he loved us.
’What about your stepbrother, Flynn? Is he eligible for this crown?" Mykel suddenly brought up Flynn
out of nowhere.
It was odd because I had never spoken about Flynn with him. I kept staring at his face, and once he
acknowledged why I wasn't adding anything to the conversation, he followed up by saying,
*1 know a lot of things. Reign."
’Well, then no! My father shunned him when his suspicions proved to be true. He didn't want a brother
to be around us or our pack. Hence my mother took Flynn and decided to stay at her parent’s pack,
where Flynn got the title of alpha from his grandfather, and my mother just abandoned the rest of her
kids," I mumbled with a lot of emotions. I grew up with Flynn, so losing him was very hard on us.
’I see," Mykel stroked his chin, "I heard you have made friends with Beatrice. She has been through a
lot lately. How is she?’ He then brought up another person I haven't talked to him about.
These random names appearing between us when he should have been focusing on catching up with
me were just odd.
’I haven't talked to her," I shrugged.
’Is it because she is the reason your brother is in a coma?’ As soon as he reminded me of all that had
happened, my muscles stiffened. It wasn't hard to see my brother's bloodied body when they brought
him to the hospital.
For a few solid hours, v/e thought he would be dead, but then he survived. And I was grateful until I
heard Beatrice’s accusation.
’If my brother did try to abduct her, I think he deserves what he got," I didn't stutter once when talking
about justice.
’That is a bold statement for someone who isn't even your family. Beatrice is just a friend, and from
what I remember, her wolf is evil. I mean, her wolf is a seductress, do you think it is possible that she
might have seduced him into going out with her, and when things turned dirty, she beat him up, or
maybe one of the brothers did when they found Beatrice and Flynn together?" Mykel opened a door to
another theory that I had never paid much attention to.
’Then why would Beatrice accuse him of abduction?" I questioned.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm’To show the brothers she is guilty of her actions and is ready to shove Flynn under the bus. Because
let’s be honest, no man would accept his girlfriend sleeping with another man," Mykel narrowed his
eyes in my face as he stated determinedly.
*1 don't know. I just don't see Beatrice in that light,’ I murmured under my breath.
"Sure, she might be innocent. What about the alpha-king brothers? What was the name of the man
who rescued her? Oh! Maddox did. What about him? I heard they briefly dated, or how do I put it this
way," he snapped his fingers when looking for the right words, "they slept behind everyone's back."
’I will leave now," I said, not feeling like continuing with this conversation. It was making me
uncomfortable, and without listening to all the sides, I cannot accuse someone on the basis of mere
theories.
’Sure! Oh, and by the way, I prepared an injection of energy for you," he said, bringing out an injection.
Energy!" I sighed, "Sure, just slide it in,’ I closed my eyes when he injected me with a boost of energy,
’It will make you a little dizzy, so go home and rest," instead of offering me a place for the night, he
literally shoved me out of his apartment.
That meeting was such a blur due to his acting completely differently.
But that would be the least of my worries because soon I started feeling drowsy and way dizzier than
he claimed.
’Oh, shit!" I felt my body losing its strength, so I got on my knees on the side of the road. Through my
blurred vision, I saw a car approaching me and stopping right beside me.
I didn't stay awake to see who came out of it.
