Sharing Beatrice A Luna To Her Stepbrothers by Alexis Dee

314-The Hostage!

Dream’s POV:

I sat across the table from Huia and Mykel, watching them discuss things for over an hour and feeling

like an outcast.

’So," now that Mykel was done with Huia, he came over to me and sat down. The weather outside was

bad today, with clouds hinting at a storm later. I chose to sit by the window so that I wouldn't have to

keep looking at Mykel.

'If you want—we can help stop this contest before it even arrives," Mykel suggested, but the way he

grazed my thigh with his hand for the fifth time ever after we filled him in on our plans made me feel

icky.

’We can think about it, but we also can't ignore the fact that no matter what—," I was smiling till this

part, and then a harsh look took over my face, and I said, "but I am not sleeping with you so quit trying."

My words made him shift in his seat and Huia shake her head at me.

'What? Do you really think I would sleep with whoever opened his arms for me? I told you—I love The

Man From Hell. I am supposed to be with him, so let's keep it that way. You two are my subjects, so

you better not forget it," I warned them before getting up from my seat and walking in the direction of

the kitchen to grab a soda.

'I have to run some errands," Mykel, who was obviously poised that his charms didn't work on me when

they had worked wonders on my miserable sister, said and leaped onto his feet and walked out of the

cabin for good.

'You need to keep your calm. We are still far from our goals. In order for us to be successful in our

mission, we need Mykel's help,” Huia followed me to the kitchen and gently patted my back, suggesting

once again what Mykel wanted.

'Don't do that again, and don't even recommend something so disgusting," I pulled my body away from

her and kept glaring her in the eye until we decided to give it a break.

She left for her room while I stayed in the kitchen, angry and annoyed with these two. Everything

comes back to between my legs somehow.

'I need water!"

A faint cry for help turned my attention to one of the locked rooms where Huia and Mykel had been

holding secret meetings for a while now.

It surprised me to hear someone's voice coming from that room, since I thought we were alone here all

this time. Reaching for the door, I realized they had been keeping secrets from me because I could

hear some noises inside.

Instead of asking Huia or Mykel and giving them an opportunity to lie to me, I opened the door to

investigate it myself.

'What the fuck?" My lips let out a gasp as the sight of a wounded man in a chair became news to me.

Pie—ase! Help me!’ He seemed to have only felt like needing help when he realized I wasn't a part of

his abduction.

’What the heck is going on here? Who are you?’ I panicked while questioning him.

'I am Co—It!’ he whispered.

It didn't take me long to recognize him from all the TV ads about his execution. So he was the infamous

Colt, the weredragon.

But you escaped the country with the help of —alpha King Helel," I was too stunned to understand

anything in this moment.

The fact that Helel was killed for the sole reason of Colt's escape, but here he was tied to the chair in

my cabin, was just not good news.

’Please help m—e," he begged again, and this time I didn't run to Huia or Mykel. I was the Mistress of

Doomsday; I was able to make my own decisions.

So I did what I thought was the right thing to do. I unchained him and freed him. He was too weak to

even get up. I had to wrap his arm around my neck and basically support his body while taking him out

of the cabin and into the woods.

"Thank y—ou,’ he was yammering while I was taking him to my car.

"Thank me once we are out of here," I sighed, "I didn't know they were doing all this here," I added, and

I felt like a fool for not questioning them so much.

"They are —he couldn't finish, but I had rolled him into the backseat of my car already.

’They are my—tenants," I lied because I couldn't tell him these crazy people were my subjects. I was

already contemplating everything.

’You seem to have no idea they were doing this to me for weeks,’ he whispered when lying in the

backseat. I have already started the car and am trying to get him out of there before anybody sees him.

’Weeks?’ That was another shock that I received.

I was so busy mourning my mother's demise that I didn't pay attention to what Huia and Mykel had

been doing all this time.

I parked the car near the mountains to catch my breath and think through my actions. That's when they

started blowing up my phone. Huia was constantly messaging me while Mykel was calling my number.

’It has to be them," Colt must have figured they knew I was in the cabin, so I must be the one they will

suspect of freeing him.

I took a deep breath and attended the call, watching Colt get anxious about what I was going to do.

’Dream! You need to come back. We—lost something—someone!’ Mykel was stuttering. I could hear

Huia express anxiety in the background.

'What? what did you lose?" I played innocent, gulping in fear, too.

'We had someone—in the house. Did you see someone? Dream! Did you free someone?" Mykel finally

asked me once the anxiousness took over him.

I knew I had a few seconds to pick a side, and I guess I did the right thing when I said, ’No! I didn't see

anyone."
