317-The Brothers Meet Again.
Beatrice Dismay:
Helel and I broke the kiss once Akin barged in on us. He was shocked for a few seconds, but then he
rushed over and hugged his brother. The two met as if they were the only people in the world at the
moment. I had left them to talk for a few minutes while I prepared tea for them in the kitchen.
I could tell Akin was still shocked that Helel had come back to life. Akin left Helel on the couch and
followed me to the kitchen to probably have a word with me.
'I will tell Maddox and Zane later," Akin said, grabbing the mugs to clean them and help me.
'How is he?" I asked, trying to know from Akin if Helel sounded different to him. He hadn't shown any
different attitude till now, but it was Ace's words in the back of my mind that were making me notice him
too much.
'He is probably wondering where his protein shake is," Akin joked, but then cleared his throat to say,
"so, you two—are now a thing?”
I didn't really realize he would ask about the kiss he saw us sharing.
’Anyway, where is Jessie?" Akin stole his eyes from me when he changed the subject. I felt bad
because I could tell he was trying not to wait for my answer because he thought it would hurt him.
’She left a few hours ago and hadn't returned till now," I said.
"I will give her a cal— oh wait! Zane is calling me," Akin stepped to the side, too excited to give his
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbrothers the good news, but his facial expressions suggested the news they gave him was
heartbreaking.
’What? that is not possible,’ he almost raised his voice too loudly when reacting to something Zane told
him.
’I am coming over,” he then cut the call and faced me.
’What is going on?" I asked while watching his face show fear and grief.
'Jessie—he whispered, making me gulp. The look he was giving me was not something that came with
good news.
’What happened to her?" I asked.
’She is—dead—just like Lady Varisha!" Akin explained, and without any more seconds’ delay, I gasped
and covered my face with my hands.
’I have to go check the body—," he said, sounding so low. I didn't realize it at the moment until he
lowered his head, and that's when it hit me.
He lost both his mate and friend in the same night. But he got his brother back, so I expected him to
find some sort of happiness in his life.
I couldn't leave Hefei's side. My situation is very rough now. I was stuck between two brothers, one of
whom I brought back to life.
"You are leaving?" Helel saw Akin grab his coat and couldn't contain himself from questioning him. Just
watching him talk and interact was enough to make me feel better.
"There have been some things going on. I will fill you in, or Beatrice can do it while I take care of
things," Akin reached Hefei's couch and patted his back before heading out of the house.
’What is going on?" Helel turned to me for news.
’Someone had been killing the pack members and leaving their dead bodies for public display," I said
while sitting with him and giving him the tea.
’I will explain it all to you once you get used to I—," I paused because what I was going to say sounded
insensitive.
"Living?" he finished and let out a laugh, "I think I shouldn't be laughing. Somebody just died,” he
added, frowning at himself for acting this way.
'Hey, it is okay. I will tell you exactly everything that happened while you were sleeping in a glass coffin,
like a sleeping beauty," I murmured, teasing him.
'You look different—confident," he turned to me and smiled, "this is the real Beatrice, huh?” he asked
with his raised brow.
His long hair looked so good with his naked shoulders. He was still shirtless, and I hadn't offered him
any clothes, either.
’About that—," it was only now that I realized he was the only brother who didn't know about me.
"You need to know something—about me," I sighed, feeling exhausted by this pressure that I feel
whenever I have to tell someone about my true identity. Waiting for their reaction is the hardest thing
ever.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm’I am not a werewolf," I whispered. "I am a weredragon— Princess-Beatrice Dismay!’ I finished and
watched his face as he zoned out.
I was expecting an explosive reaction, but he looked rather confused.
"I think—I know something about it,’ he sat up on the couch and snapped his fingers, trying hard to
remember something.
'Colt? You saved Colt, and then they—," I paused and lowered my head.
'No! You don't get it. It is not that. It is something that I didn't know whe—n I was alive," he frowned in
bewilderment.
'What do you mean by that?’ I sat in the same position as him. At least he wasn't freaked out, but that
concerned me even more.
'I —saw weredragons—you and —he kept looking around, trying to grasp whatever he was talking
about.
Before he could even proceed, the door opened, and in came Maddox and Zane, who had no idea
what they were going to see there.
'Come!" Akin uttered and stepped ahead of them, leading them inside.
’Why a—," Zane stopped when he saw Helel sitting on the couch with me, "What the fuck is this? Is this
a ghost?" He shook his head dramatically, his jaw meeting the floor.
"Helel?” Maddox had his mouth hanging low as well. The brothers shared a glance while slowly making
their way toward Helel.
’He is back!” Akin reassured them that they were not seeing a ghost, and that was all it took for the two
to jump on Helel and give him a group hug. Zane broke the hug only to invite Akin, and after he joined,
the brothers hugged for a solid five minutes.
