Sharing Beatrice A Luna To Her Stepbrothers by Alexis Dee

260-A Genuine Mistake.

The weather had gotten colder in the last few hours. After Reign gathered the powder, she realized she

couldn't give it to him because, unlike others, he was running around and in his senses.

So the poor guy had to run around and repeat the cycle for a few more minutes before he passed out,

and Reign was finally able to give him the powder.

He was still passed out on the ground while I sat beside him, plucking the grass and playing with it.

My brain was consumed by many thoughts.

"I hope I did not kill the Alpha King,11 Reign had been freaking out ever since she acknowledged she

should have waited for my signal instead of getting on with the plan.

’Hear yourself!' I sighed, 'You killed an alpha King? Don't worry, he is just resting," I tried comforting her

when I wasn't sure how I would calm myself down.

I didn't know what I was going to say to him or how he was going to respond, but I was hoping he

would at least take some time to recall what he saw.

’He is waking up,’ Reign's announcement got me to take a deep breath and taking spin around while

still sitting on the grass to face him.

’Ugh!" he groaned, rubbing his eyes, and then taking a pause to process where he was.

'Akin! Are you alright?’ I asked in a soft murmur, worried about his reaction.

'Hmm?" He sat straight, scanning his body, and then staring at his hands in silence.

’What happened?' he asked in a raspy and rough tone. "When did she come here?" he then stared at

Reign, who was anxiously rubbing her palms together and shaking in her body.

'You really— don't remember anything?" I stuttered, sliding closer to see his eyes. He looked lost in the

moment.

'I — don't know.' He scratched his scalp, probably unable to remember anything for now.

'Let’s go home," he said, then stayed still for a minute before announcing we should leave. None of us

objected, but Reign cleared her throat to speak to me instead.

*1 have my car parked on the road with your car. I will go in my own car.' She seemed so happy that

she didn't have to travel with us. Well, being in the same car as us could be stressful for now.

"Go. enjoy your life," I looked her in the eye and sighed, giving her help me look. Pouting sadly and

unable to stay, she rushed away from us.

Akin stepped ahead and started walking in haste towards the road, while I followed him in silence.

We watched Reign’s car take off, and that's when, instead of getting into the car. Akin stopped near the

car and took a deep and exhausting breath.

’You know, Helel and I were each other’s shadow. We were not typically the types who are sticking by

the butt and acting clingy, but we would communicate via our wolves too. When I lost him, I lost a part

of me. It was the most difficult time of my life. I cannot tell you how I spent those days holding back

tears because I had to look stronger to leave a good example for my siblings," he said it without even

turning around to look at me.

*1 am sorry that—," I murmured, taking a step in his direction when he turned around in a swift move

and look me in the eye.

’Are you though? Are you really sorry?" His voice was filled with agony and suffering.

I was beginning to understand that he remembered everything. I just didn't know what approach to use

to calm him down and make him understand I was genuinely backing away from the plan when Reign

accidentally messed up.

*1 do. Do you think I don't feel your pain?’ I asked him, but the head shake and the little taunting scoffs

discouraged me. "If you did, you would respect my privacy. Who told you that you were allowed to peer

inside my mind?’ He yelled out of the blue, a big tear rolling down his cheeks.

*1 wasn't going to. I had changed my mind—," I anxiously pinched my finger while telling the truth. I

wanted to focus on anything else that could cause me pain so that I could look away from the pain in

his eyes.

’That’s because you saw me dying in that cabin and sympathized with me. If that had not happened,

you would have carried on with the plan because knowing about my secrets is all that matters to you.

Do you think I am hiding Helel's body from you for some sick and twisted reason? Do you believe

you're the only one looking for him? I am his fucking twin. I am shredded into pieces after his demise,

and the last thing I wanted was for you to betray me," he shouted, a little sob managing to escape his

eyes.

I have never seen him so broken before, and I feared that was it. He would never trust me again.

'Your secrets will stay safe with me, I assure you,' I whispered, walking up to him. but he stepped back

from me eagerly.

My secrets!" he scoffed. 'They are not secrets anymore. I am sure you saw everything because I did

too," he nodded aggressively to himself, 'You didn't only take away my peace of mind but only my

choice of telling you—," he paused as he laughed at himself, 'Forget what you saw, it fucking means

nothing anymore," He grunted and wandered off down the road.

'How can it mean nothing when it is your ultimate fear?” I said, raising my voice so that it would reach

him.

He turned around and glared at me, realizing what I was talking about.

'Let’s drop you home,’ he grunted, walking briskly towards the car and slamming the door shut when

getting into the driver's side.

I was right. It was going to be a hard journey back home.
