Sharing Beatrice A Luna To Her Stepbrothers by Alexis Dee

200-They Come To Bully Me.

Beatrice's POV:

I have been in a weird position with everyone. Pamela was taking good care of me, but so far I have

cracked her. She was only nice to the girls, whom she thought was miserable. The ones who were

strongly loved by someone were not her cup of tea. So maybe she just wanted to surround herself with

frills who are miserable and unable to think about anything but their troubles.

I went to the café with a heavy heart. My head still hurts, and my pill bottle will soon run out of pills.

Now that my mother was no longer a rogue she-wolf, nor was she a soon- to-be lady. I don’t know how

she was planning to get me pills.

We were not exactly pack members, as nobody wanted US and neither were we rogues. So it was

pretty safe to say we were neither here nor there.

I would usually walk out of the house and look at the tall grass, but that habit was no longer a choice.

After I watched Markus look at me as if I were a meal, I couldn't stomach leaving at night.

I had borrowed some money from my mother because I wanted to call Akin from a telephone booth this

time. However, the instant I walked out of the kitchen with an apron on, I saw Maddox sitting in the

café.

’Come here!" His tone was extremely discourteous when calling for me. I stared at him for a moment

before walking away. There were few customers, as it was still so early.

‘Good morning, sir, what would you like to have?' I asked him, forcing a smile across my lips and

keeping my eyes on the notepad I was holding.

'Whatever I ordered yesterday,’ he said.

I raised my eyes only a little and noticed him scanning me from head to toe.

'So, how is this life treating you? I suppose you must be having a hard time walking through the tall

grass every day and not taking a fancy car with many guards,' he commented with a scoff.

'It is treating me well.’ I didn't want to indulge in a conversation with someone who was still hurt and

mourning his brother's death. If Helel wasn't in the equation, I might have spent some time educating

Maddox, but right now, he looked like a broken brother, and I wouldn't ever hurt anyone who was

related to Helel.

■| heard some dead bodies had been found in the field. In fact, I heard you are the one who—He

paused as he stared behind me after the café door opened and somebody walked in. I turned around

only a little to see Zane walking in and staring deeply into my eyes. Of course, he knew I worked here,

but his gaze was always silent and intense.

’Good morning, sir,’ I said, stepping aside but instantly lowering my eyes.

'How are you, Beatrice?" Instead of treating me like a server, he said my name and sat down from

across the table with his brother.

‘I am good," I answered, keeping my eyes down.

'What are you doing here?' Maddox asked Zane, and I could tell he wasn't happy to see him here.

'I should ask you this question, brother! I know you are angry and frustrated, but taking your anger out

on someone who didn't even do anything with bad intent is just not right.’ Zane spoke directly to

Maddox in a low, deep tone.

'I don't know what you are talking about. I only came here to enjoy breakfast," Maddox grunted, maybe

not liking the idea that his brother had come here and was lecturing him. I honestly expected Zane to

be very mad at me, but he looked fine.

'She has been through a lot. Don't make it any harder for her." Zane spread his hand out on the table

and steadily held the pepper shaker.

'We have been through a lot, Zane. We lost our brother,' Maddox complained, not happy that his

brother didn't acknowledge his suffering.

'She lost her mate and everything. Her life reset after what happened. Don't put the blame on her, and

send the energy to the mastermind behind this mess," Zane hinted at Flynn. The way he said his name

was enough for me to know he hated him. And who wouldn't?

Flynn wasn't only an abandoned child, but someone who had come back in spite and killed an innocent

man. The fact that Zane and Flynn used to be friends and then Flynn slept with his girlfriend makes me

think he found out about his relationship with Lord Vasquez sooner and decided to steal everything

from the brothers that he thought belonged to him.

‘Beatrice! Go inside,’ Zane said to me, keeping his eyes on Maddox, who was glaring at him.

’But I was taking his order," I whispered.

"He will ask someone else," Zane added, but just when I was about to leave, Maddox stole my

attention with his one sentence.

’Don’t stay at work till late hours,’ he grumpily mumbled. I know why he said that. He was warning me

of the monster in the fields.

I went into the kitchen and took off my apron. It wasn't easy watching them again and not being able to

interact with them like I used to.

’What happened? You didn't take the orders?’ Maura asked me as she walked into my view, her hands

behind her pack and tying the apron.

'I couldn't. The Alpha King brothers are here," I stated in a murmur, but the way her face lit up confused

me.

’Alpha King Zane is here." She asked out of the blue, making me watch her face in silence until she

explained, ’He is a regular here. He leave—s big tips," she smiled awkwardly.

'Yeah! He is outside with Alpha King Maddox," I said, pointing at the door.

Maura had a huge smile plastered over her lips when she rushed out of the kitchen like a butterfly. I

couldn't help but notice her mood change every time Zane's name was mentioned to her.
