Sharing Beatrice A Luna To Her Stepbrothers by Alexis Dee

36-Cannot Escape Me

“How,” Helel pulled away from me and jumped out of the bed once it was certain that my wolf had fallen

asleep.

“Maybe she was angry and said it just to piss me off?” I got up in bed, making up explanations for how it

was possible.

“It’s not how it works. Besides, my wolf felt it too,” he said, as he walked around the room, running a

hand through his silky hair, and mumbling all the possibilities to himself.

“But you just rejected me. How could it be possible?” I whispered. Even I was at a loss for words.

“What if—,” he paused, stopping in his tracks too, “We need to see if you can still feel the mate bond with

the others too,” Helel announced it but didn’t wait around. He hadn’t even looked my way after feeling the

mate bond with me. It was probably the reality setting close to him.

The reality is that he cannot escape me.

Obviously, I was a bit lost too, but nothing too crazy. I needed the Alpha Kings to be my mates.

I sat down and waited for him to bring the others inside. Akin wasn’t around, so I’m assuming he was

upset with me for raising my voice at him and doubting his intentions.

“But how is it possible?” Zane walked in first, and the others followed him.

“Is your wolf awake?” Zane stopped in front of me and asked me. All I had to do was just shake my head

at him.

“But why?” Maddox had the same expression of exhaustion. on his face as before when he found out we

were mates.

“I don’t know. I’m calling Akin because this ain’t it,” Helel mumbled, dialing Akin’s phone.

“Do you know what it means?” Maddox looked at Zane and asked him.

“That we are stuck with her,” he added until his eyes landed on my face, “I’m not blaming you, but it’s a

fucked up situation since you are—,” he was about to ramble the same thing when I said it.

“It’s okay. Of all you brothers, you are the last one I want to be mated to.” The instant I said that, I saw

Zane bite his tongue and step away from Maddox.

“Excuse me?” The look on Maddox’s face comforted me.

“Everybody has a certain type. You are not my type, and I’m not yours.” I added it just so that he doesn’t

think I’m instigating him when, in reality, I was.

Maddox lowered his face and sighed with his hands on his face. It was almost like a sigh of disbelief.

“Let’s not argue,” Zane mumbled, gently patting his brother’s back.

“As for you, why did you lie to me when you said Maddox told you about us?” I wasn’t going to spare

Zane for lying to everyone and making me look bad. His face turned dark when he heard me questioning

him.

“I never told you anything,” Maddox slightly turned to Zane, who rolled his eyes and turned his face to the

side. It was then that Maddox shook his head at his own stupidity for believing his brother and walked out

of the room. I bet he was feeling like a fool after hearing he wasn’t my type, either. I knew for a fact that

their egos were big. So he was definitely going to come around to speak to me again, just to check if I

really didn’t find him attractive.

As for Zane, I lowered my gaze in anger because I didn’t want to hide the truth that the entire argument

from the night was caused by him.

“Fine! Give me that look. But I only did it because I was—,” he paused for a moment and then added,

“Jealous!”

The instant I heard that word, my heartbeat rose in my chest.

“Jealous of what?” I asked, my eyes watching him frown in anger.

“Of thinking about you and my brothers,” his statement left me appalled. He waited for not even a second

before sprinting out of the room after his brothers.

I felt a little different than before about him.

“He was jealous,” I said, and a smile appeared on my lips at the thought of him being jealous. This would

be the first time any of my mates were jealous about the idea of seeing me with someone else.

My entire mood changed. I badly wanted my wolf to wake up and tell me if I was still mates with him or

not.

Since Helel never walked back again, I decided to go outside and see what was going on.

I went out and found them in the living room. I thought Helel would bring Akin to my room, but from the

looks of Akin’s frown, I could tell he didn’t want to see me.

My entry into the living room turned the mood darker. Akin raised his brow but kept his face toward his

brother.

“Does that mean we cannot reject her?” Helel asked, probably after telling him the whole story.

“That’s impossible. It has not happened before,” Akin told Helel, making sure he didn’t even pass me a

single glance when I came and sat down with them.

“But then explain the mate bond I felt with her again,” Helel added, and Akin went silent.

“Maybe we need to do some experimenting,” Akin suggested after thinking for a few minutes.

“What sort of experimenting?” It was I who interrupted him this time.

I saw his jaw clench as he gave me his side profile and finally turned to look at me.

“When the wolfbane runs out of your system, we will need to see if your wolf feels the mate bond with

Maddox and Zane,” he informed with a pissed-off look on his face.

“And you too!” It was at this moment that Maddox’s words silenced him.

“What? She is not my mate,” Akin didn’t waste a single minute before saying that.

“But it makes sense. She is mated to the three of us. What makes you think you are not her mate?”

Maddox shrugged while Akin looked lost or maybe petrified.

“Le–,” Akin was probably ready to reject the idea when the door opened and a familiar voice stopped him

from talking.

“Beatrice! My daughter,” mom called for me while rushing around in search of me.
