Sharing Beatrice A Luna To Her Stepbrothers by Alexis Dee

230-Sell Yourself "Anyway, keep the phone. It will help you connect with Zane," he said in a bit of a sad

tone.

The silence remained between US for a few seconds, during which we only heard each other's restless

breaths.

"I will go now. I have to take orders," I excused softly and hung up on him. I didn't enjoy treating him

this way, but his constant denial of letting me see Helel had irked me.

The rest of the day was tiring.

I finally called Zane to tell him I wouldn’t be able to meet him today, but now we were arguing about

even more stuff.

"So, Akin gave you this phone?" he asked. I could hear a little complaint in his tone. But I understood

why he was feeling this way.

"Yeah! He wanted to make sure I was settling well in my new home. But I told him now I have you, so

he doesn’t have to worry about me," I comforted him, and in response, he wheezed.

"I was going to gift you one. Why did Akin give you a phone?* he asked, still sounding very upset.

"I told you already, Zane." I answered, "Okay, listen, I called you to let you know I am unable to come

meet you today. I'm so sorry but the workload is heavy today," I excused, not wanting to tell him

anything about Pamela being difficult.

I didn't want to use Zane and his status to bend the rules of my workplace. Since Maura and Pamela

would stay here for lunch, I decided to do that too.

"Ugh! Do you want me to come and help you?" As he asked, I couldn't help but let out a little laugh. "I'm

not joking. I can work," he sounded playfully offended.

"Really? Do tell me what work you can do," I shrugged, my lip curling upward to form a teasing smile.

"I can give a shower to the dishes," he answered very sweetly. I bet he pouted, too.

"Or we can—," he continued to talk, but I knew where he was going with his comment.

No! thank you. I can shower myself." I instantly shut him down with a playful grunt.

Maura walked into the kitchen with the dirty plates and passed me a smile.

"Talking to your boyfriend?" she teased, making me blush even harder.

"Anyway, thank you for informing me. I would have been waiting the whole day if I hadn't heard from

you. I'll go now. Take care, okay?" Zane almost instantly wanted to end the call, but I don't blame him.

He has a lot of work to do.

"Okay! Take care,’ I said and heard him hang up first.

"Wow! Look at you! You are all red. Must be someone very special." Maura was nonstop teasing me

ever since she caught me on call. I bet she will be so shocked and happy when she finds out it is one

of the brothers.

The rest of the day was dull and busy. After finishing work, Pamela, Maura, and I left for home together

around 7 p.m.

Maura parted ways from US a few minutes into the walk, and that's when I heard from Pamela that she

would be needing to leave to get some groceries in an hour. Since we didn't have time earlier that day,

she will be getting them late. The grocery stores here would shut down after 9, so she had to rush.

But that didn't mean she wasn't in the mood to have some conversation with me.

"I care about Maura," she said, turning my attention from the road to her.

"It's because she had been so genuine and honest with me. She truly cares about me and my son. You

know, she never even met my son like that, yet she packs food for him and sends gifts for him. She has

a good heart." She had slowed down now that we were talking.

She is," I agreed.

"That's why I will do anything for her." She then added, "You can get the same treatment, you know.’

I smiled to myself and nodded even when she was walking a few feet ahead of me and couldn't see my

face.

"You are going to marry someone anyway. And from the things I have heard from your mother about

your wolf, I see why you haven't found a suitable mate yet. Don't get me wrong, but obviously Flynn, as

someone of royal blood, wasn't a good match for you. An omega like you will be suitable for an

omega." Her words ripped me apart in a few seconds. The fact that my mother had been telling her the

same lies she had told me and my brothers before irked me.

As I slowed down and eventually stopped, she ceased her proceeding steps and looked my way.

"I can assure you of your safety and excellent support, but on one condition only," she uttered, looking

confident about her claims.

"And what would that be?" I asked, knowing she was going to say something that would make my life

restless.

My son has found some interest in you. And since you are already staying in our home, I don’t think it’s

inappropriate for me to suggest—" she took a pause and I wish she hadn't continued after that, "you

sleep with him and help him with his sexual frustration,"

My reaction was explosive. I glared at her and wheezed, but it didn't warn her.

"If you cannot do that, tell your mother to cook for herself and don’t expect me to help you two in any

other way," she warned me after she noticed how offended I looked at her offer.

"You want me to sell myself to your son for some chores?" I muttered in disbelief, feeling disgusted and

humiliated.

"It's up to you to take it, however. You can call it anything, I’ll call it my concern for my son. It’s because

of your arrival that he is now sexually frustrated, so take responsibility for your wrongdoings," she

scoffed as she called my existence a wrongdoing.

That's all I did.

I never seduced him or anything.
