302-Know My Truth
Akin's POV:
"Beatrice! Just tell me, where are you?" I asked her again, holding the letter and crumbling it in my tight
fist.
"I can't. I am leaving/ she said from the other side.
"Why didn't you ever tell me?’ I asked while trying to keep my cool. I had to walk out of the mansion in
a hurry to stand on the road away from everyone to hold my tension in when I was talking to her. I am
sure anybody who sees me now can tell I am stressed.
"You hate our kind," she scoffed.
Just the thought of her being a weredragon gave me anxiety. How did I never see it?
'Because we trusted her wholeheartedly,' King said, after being sad about the fact she hadn't told us
anything in so many days.
"And that gave you every right to deceive me?’ I couldn't keep my voice low anymore. She sounded so
blunt and careless as if hiding her truth from me was the right thing to do.
"I am sorry. Akin. But you shouldn't be questioning me when your parents should be the ones held
accountable for what I did. I couldn't tell you the truth because I knew what you all would do to me. Do
you not remember Colt? You guys were not even letting him say his side or —give him a chance to
prove himself to be a good person. Just our kind was enough reason for you guys to end his life," I

'She is crying!' King sighed, obviously melting.
"Then why now?" I asked.
"Ask your mother. She threatened to expose me and get me punished if I didn't leave. But then I found
out that the driver she has arranged for me is a hunter. He would kill me after taking me far away from
the population. That was your mother's plan," she was murmuring in soft whispers.
"My mother—," I was shocked that so much was happening behind my back and that I didn't get to
hear about it until now.
"I am not surprised because I know soon everybody will be after me—," she paused as we both heard
the same announcement from before. It was the second time that they played this announcement over
the speakers.
"Oh!" She let me know she was hearing the announcement.
"It is not going to stop, and neither are my guards going to, until you tell me where you are," I told her
without trying to sugarcoat it.
"I am sorry," she whispered, and then she hung up on me.
"FUCK!" I cussed, briskly walking back into the mansion to reach for the attic and see if I could find her
in the cameras.
"Beatrice ran away?" Dad was talking to my mom when I heard their conversation when walking past
the living room.
"My jewelry is also missing," mom sighed dramatically.
"Akin!" While standing there and listening to them, I was joined by Zane, who had just returned from
Goddess knows where.
"I heard the announcement. What happened?" He seemed worried. Wait till he hears that we have
been keeping a weredragon in our mansion for so long.
"She is gone,” I said, tightly holding the paper in my hand and not letting it go.
"But what happened?’ Zane kept following me until we were in the attic, "I heard the announcements
too."
"Then start looking for her," I said without getting deeper into the conversation. Zane understood and
started the cameras. We spent a few minutes on the screen, and I found her.
"She is by the train station," Zane whispered under his breath, watching my face to see what I would do
next.
I grabbed my phone and told my guards to stop her. While they were on their way, I also got up to find
her.
"I am coming with you," Zane argued when I told him to follow me. We silently walked up to our cars
before I looked his way and said, "Speak to mom. She will tell you what's going on."
Zane looked shocked but nodded, and instead of going back home, he still followed me.
"Zane!” I frowned angrily, "Go back inside," I yelled, but he shook his head and gestured at me to keep
going.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI didn't want him to tag along, but now that he was being stubborn, I had no choice but to get inside my
car and start the journey to catch the weredragon.
I had a lot going on in my head, but I kept my lips sealed. Even King refused to comment on this
situation anymore. I received a call after a few minutes from my guards that they caught her, but she
was being difficult, so now they were surrounding her and making sure she didn't get away from them.
Once we reached the station, we both got out of our cars. I took the lead while Zane didn't argue. My
heart was pounding at the moment. I made my way to the rail and found her standing between the
guards and looking agitated.
She was freaking out, and rightfully so. She stopped moving when her eyes landed on me. I saw the
fear of her heart breaking from even afar.
"What is going on?" Zane must have noticed that it wasn't only about her running away and that there
was more to the story.
"Everybody out. Leave her for me," I declared in my loud, commanding voice. She was staring at me
with her big, shining eyes and innocent face.
That innocent face never let me question anything she told me about her wolf, but now everything was
beginning to make sense.
She straightened her posture and kept looking my way.
"Fine. You won!” She scoffed and shook her head while clenching her jaw.
"No! you don't get to talk tonight," I warned her, walking in her direction and keeping a sharp gaze on
her face.
"I will talk tonight," I reached her and stood face-to-face, ready to do something I never expected of
myself.
