Sharing Beatrice A Luna To Her Stepbrothers by Alexis Dee

219- My Lips Against Yours.

I no longer wanted to stick in the kitchen and waste my time.

This ceremony was already causing me a headache, and now that I knew Flynn had the motive to steal

everything Akin had ever worked for, I couldn't sit silently.

"Where are you headed to now?" Pamela called for me the instant she saw me trying to sneak out.

"I need a breather." I smiled awkwardly, showing her my white pearl teeth.

"No!’ Pamela shook her finger and then pointed at me to return to the kitchen again.

"Just a few minutes' breaks," I said, not looking at her and rushing out even when I heard her call for

me under her breath.

She was accompanied by some of the omegas, who were helping her and providing her with whatever

she required.

The guests seemed more like ants invading a mansion.

I was briskly walking around and getting lost in the crowd of people when I found a grasp around my

wrist that pulled me to the corner.

"What are you doing, Zane?" I objected, freeing my arm, and stepped away from him. There was a

crowd gathered around, and he was dragging me to the side. What if somebody sees US together and

spreads a rumor?

His life will be in danger.

I need to talk to you," he mumbled, motioning for me to follow him.

"No!’ I shook my head at him, warning him through my eyes to stay away from me.

"You think I will be scared of your beautiful, enormous eyes?" He scoffed, smiling a bit. I noticed how

handsome he looked in all black and a red tie.

His wet hair was messily resting over his forehead.

"You should be concerned," I mumbled, trying to look around and avoid looking into his eyes.

"I'm not okay? I'm waiting for you in my room, Beatrice!" he said as he stubbornly walked past me and

disappeared into the crowd until he appeared again while walking upstairs.

"Everyone! Thank you so much for coming. I think it's getting pretty crowded here, so why don't we

head outside and take seats in the garden area?" Lord Vasquez appeared in a white suit to address the

guests. I didn't blend well because of the rags I was wearing. However, he didn't pay attention to me

and walked out, with the guests following him.

Now that I had been left alone and could breathe without fear of sniffing everyone’s cologne, I started

considering Zane's request.

I wondered what it was that he urgently wanted to speak with me about.

It was also weird that I hadn't seen Maddox at all today.

I heard Lady Sofia and Maddox were going to join the ceremony a bit late. And I wouldn't be surprised

if they didn't show up at all.

"I can't just stand here and do nothing,’ I whispered to myself, pushing my mind to admit I had to see

Zane and see what he wanted to talk about.

With that in mind, I began to walk in the direction of the staircase.

I went upstairs with my palms itching and my heart racing.

I once used to live here. Now this place looked like a stranger's territory to me.

My bedroom had a huge lock on it. As I reached Helel's bedroom, my heart broke into a million pieces.

"Ah!" exhaling a fist full of air, I walked past Zane's bedroom, where he told me he would be waiting for

me.

I didn't have to knock on the door because he had left it slightly ajar for me.

After I walked inside, I lowered my face because he was standing right at the entrance. He pushed the

door closed behind me and rested his hand on the door, leaning over to reach my level.

"I've missed you," he whispered in my face, making me lose my heartbeat.

"Why did you ask me to meet you here?" I asked, keeping my head down and not raising my eyes.

"I wanted to be with you for a while," he said only in whispers.

As I raised my head to follow his stare, I found him looking upset.

"It's not a happy day for any of US. We are all going through a lot inside, Beatrice. I don't know about

the others, but I know how to cope with this stress." He continued to murmur, "You! Your company can

heal me," he added.

“Zane!" Before I could complain, he hushed me by drawing his lips closer and blowing a little air on my

lips.

"Don't argue, please. I don't give a damn what my father would do if he found US together. I am not

afraid of anything, Beatrice," he claimed confidently.

"He will take away your crown," I uttered back, watching him draw his body even closer now.

"He cannot. Nobody can take what belongs to me." His eyes traveled down and stayed on my lips, and

then a gulp ran down his throat.

"I cannot risk it," I pouted, feeling this urge to just give in and accept his advances. But I couldn't be

selfish anymore.

"Then don't!" He said, "I'll risk it." He gently rested his hand under my cheek and made my heart skip a

beat.

"Bu—before I could finish, he mumbled.

"I love you, Beatrice!" His words rang through my head like a tornado. I was shocked at the sudden

expression of his love.

"Look me in the eye," he then made me raise my eyes and stare deeply into his eyes, ‘ I know you want

it too. You want to be with me only. You want me to accept you and introduce you as my Luna,’ he

whispered, gently brushing his lips against mine and sending sparks down my spine.

There was a weird comfort in his words, but also an uneasy feeling I got when he added those extra

words.

"We both want each other," he added, but I was still not convinced.

"If you are afraid of living here, I can take you far away from everyone" He kept talking, making me

focus on his intensity of love for me.
