Sharing Beatrice A Luna To Her Stepbrothers by Alexis Dee

297-Maybe Reign Did It.

When Reign began to wake up, I called in Akin, and Maddox followed his brother. She was still

changing sides and trying to open her eyes. It took her about ten to fifteen minutes to wake up entirely.

But she didn't wake up like a pretty princess. She jolted herself awake in a state of hysteria.

’I — am —here?’ She was breathing loudly and looking around, asking nobody but someone that we

couldn't see.

’Reign! You are the Spade Mansion," I shared a glance with the brothers before getting in the bed and

gently cupping her face in my hands, ’Look at me," I realized she was still not awake or maybe stuck

somewhere.

*1 didn't do it," she murmured, "I wish I had n—-ot,’ she then frowned, closed her eyes tightly, and fell

asleep again.

I don’t know about the brothers, but I have never seen something so creepy before. She didn't seem to

be noticing us but was talking to someone who wasn't there.

’Where did you find her?" That was it. I turned to pass a glare to Maddox, who gulped and turned his

face away. See! I knew he was hiding something.

’Maddox! right now is not the time to be acting like an asshole, okay?" My comment turned Akin's eyes

double while Maddox pouted at me for talking to him like that.

’Just answer her," Akin slapped Maddox’s chest with the back of his hand and eyed him to tell us the

truth.

’I found her in the —woods,’ Maddox answered, "near the hospital, covered in—blood! ’ He instantly

buried his head when he told us the piece of information that he shouldn't have hidden from us when

he brought her here.

’What?" Akin questioned him. I know what he was thinking. I was worried about the same thing.

’She had a black leather overcoat that I took off and burned near the mountain before bringing her

here," Maddox explained, looking very suspicious. I bet he knew what we were thinking or what Reign’s

situation was implying, but we couldn't say it loudly at the moment.

’Varisha is her mother,’ I said with a sigh, "and she was present at the same spot where her mother

was murdered. Oh! Not to mention, she was covered in blood, and—" I didn' t have to finish the

sentence because Akin did it for me.

’You burned down the evidence. Is it what caused the mountain fire?’ Akin stared at his brother angrily

while I sneakily turned my head down.

I didn't want to imply that, but if it was going to work in my favor, I would stay silent. It is not like

collateral damage can cause any more troubles for Reign's condition.

’I didn't think it like that. I thought she had hurt herself because, recently, she had been very stressed

out about the whole competition thing with her sister. I —- didn't know Varisha was killed," Maddox

began to defend himself, but honestly speaking, the part where he donned the coat was unnecessary.

’Why burn it if you thought it was her blood?" My question made him clench his jaw and stare at my

face, literally yelling in silence that I shut up.

’Stop staring at her; she is not asking you something you will not hear again," Akin slapped his chest

again, stepping between us to stop Maddox from glaring at me.

’I don't understand why she is asking me all these questions when there is no accountability to where

she was last night or who she was with last night,’ Maddox grunted as he checked his brother from

head to toe and then rolled his eyes.

’Are you jealous?" I asked since I knew Akin would never question his brother's motive for keeping

bringing up why I had Akin's coat on last night.

’Fine, I'll be the honest one here. Yes! I am jealous, so tell me, how far?" I could tell what Maddox was

asking me.

’That’s enough!" Akin bowed his head in his brother's face immediately and eyed him to shut up.

’We are in a colossal mess if Reign did it. You understand that, right?" Akin then continued to tell

Maddox how serious it is.

’I don't think she is capable of doing something so brutal," Maddox shook his head when his eyes

landed on Reign. Even I didn't think she could do it, but then I have seen the most innocent people do

the most reckless things. For example, Maura sold me to her bastard so-called father figure just

because she wanted to save herself and her mother.

People make mistakes and even commit crimes, sometimes when they are threatened and sometimes

unprovoked.

’She might have gotten into a heated argument with her mother over the fact that she was left at the

mercy of her father, maybe?’ Akin suggested a possible reason why the murder happened.

’The heart being missing could suggest she thought her mother didn't carry any affection for her

daughters in her heart. Because, apart from the missing heart, Varisha was stabbed twenty times in her

face, and it was not an accidental act. It seemed so

passionate,’ Akin was roaming around, trying to think of any other reason why Reign could have done

it.

’Can we wait for her to wake up before we assume anything, please?" Maddox sounded very low on

energy at this point. The girl in question wasn't just some innocent girl; she was also Maddox's mate,

so he had every right to be worried for her.

’I think we should go look for the knife she used to stab Varisha," Akin suggested, and Maddox followed

him out of the room with low energy.

I was shocked by the happenings. Reign couldn't do it, or did she do it?

'Wonderful! It is amazing how everyone else gets the blame, but the one who was also missing the

whole evening gets off the hook without being questioned,’ that voice belonged to Sofia.

I knew she wouldn't sit silently for too long. But here she was taunting me while reclining on the door,

framing and clapping in little.
