305-He Sounds Guilty.
Beatrice Despair:
The softness of his lips engulfed me in a crazy trance. I kept my eyes closed while his lips danced
along mine. The way his body twitched everytime he sucked my lower lip into his mouth, I felt this
pressure on my nerves that made me want to jump on him.
He placed his hand on the couch right where my thigh was and clenched his fist. His urge to touch my
body was pretty obvious from how he was constantly holding his hands in tight fists while grabbing the
couch or the cushions.
His little grunts when his tongue demanded an entry made me part my lips and let him explore my
mouth. Where he was shy enough to not touch me elsewhere, I slid my body onto the couch and
moved closer to his chest, cupping his face in my hands and deepening the kiss.
His tongue squeezed its way into my mouth and battled with my tongue, leaving his essence all inside
me. Being this close to him was a different kind of memorization. I felt like kissing my crush. The one I
had always wanted to taste, but was too shy to do anything about it.
The instant he felt comfortable enough to place his hand on my thigh, somebody barged in on us.
"Br—," I heard Maddox stop in his steps, and we broke apart. I awkwardly pulled away from Akin, who
gulped and closed his eyes for a moment. He seemed to absorb the moment before he fixed his coat

Both Zane and Maddox were just standing in the doorway, watching us with their eyes wide open.
“I heard you brought her here," Maddox frowned and refused to look us in the eye.
"She will be staying here for a while until things are cleared," Akin stated, and when he noticed the odd
look on Maddox's face, he understood Maddox had yet to find out about my identity.
"You didn't tell him?" Akin proceeded to shake Zane from his trance state.
"No!" Zane groaned, looking extremely annoyed.
"Tell me what?’ Maddox stepped closer to the couch to give me a glance before asking his brother.
"There is something you should know about Beatrice," Akin said, and I too wanted him to know about
me now. There was no point in hiding the truth from one of them and then going back to the same
phase where I have to prepare myself for a reaction when I tell the remainder of them about my
identity.
"Is it about you two?’ Maddox assumed and closed his arms on his chest, "Why do I need to know
that?"
"Maddox! I am a weredragon!" I didn't let him keep pasturing Akin, so I got up and said my truth to him.
He scoffed first and then shook his head to make sure he heard me right.
"Is this some sort of prank because I don't like it,’ his reaction was kind of what I had expected from the
other brothers.
"Maddox! It is true. She is —' before Akin could finish, Maddox stepped back fanatically and waved his
hand at us.
"Then why the fuck is she here?" he yelled, not surprising me. I kind of expected this from the brothers,
but after the other two showed such encouragement, I thought Maddox would do the same.
"Because she is a weredragon, not a curse," Akin argued with him.
"You kept Colt safe for her," Zane brought up a good point, to which Maddox frowned and rolled his
eyes.
"I didn't keep him safe. I was just waiting for him to prove to me that he is not here to hurt anyone,"
Maddox defended himself, but failed to explain his anger and frustration towards me.
"And you think I am here to hurt anyone?" I questioned.
"Oh! Trust me, you don't have to be something to hurt someone. You can do it in your human form just
fine," his comment seemed more personal and towards my relationship with Akin.
He saw us kiss and assumed we were already in a relationship.
"That is — ridiculous," I grunted.
"She is not here to harm any of us, okay? She is a royal—," Akin's words were interrupted when
Maddox shook his head.
"What do you mean by that?" Maddox asked Akin.
"She is a princess! One of the twins—," once again, Akin didn't get to finish what he was trying to say
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwhen Maddox started hyperventilating.
"She is— the —twins—," he gulped, stepping away weirdly.
"Why is he acting like that?" I couldn't tell why this mattered so much to him, but Akin seemed to know
something as he rushed over to hold his brother when he was about to trip.
"Get a hold of yourself," Akin uttered under his breath.
"What is this whole thing about twins? Does that mean your twin is missing and you want to find that
twin?" Zane stepped forward, looking extremely annoyed that we were keeping secrets from him.
"Our parents fed m—us—one of us—her twin brother when—we were babies," Maddox said, pushing
Akin away to tell Zane what the whole fuss about the twin thing was.
Zane had his eyes bugged out as he kept staring at Maddox, who looked like a mess.
"She is here to take revenge; don't you see?' Maddox yelled out of the blue and shocked me.
"Maddox!" Akin yelled back at him, but Zane remained silent. He was shocked and lost.
"What? Do you think I am lying? Look at the odds. She came—," Maddox grasped his hair in his fist
and started bawling his eyes.
"I didn't do it—," as he yelled while getting on his knees. My body felt numb.
"Let's walk out and talk about it," Akin whispered and hugged his brother, trying to stop him from saying
more.
"I don’t get it," Zane was staring at Maddox in confusion, but I knew what was going on.
1 Did —they feed you my brother?" I decided to be straightforward with Maddox, and the sudden
silence stunned us all.
