"What did you say?" In shock, I inquired from Maddox. His claims left me speechless. He was staring

into my eyes with much pain.

"I heard you and Helel talk about Colt," he paused, closing his eyes and walking away to calm down

first. I watched him wander around, run his hands through his hair, and fix hist posture before returning

to me.

"I knew Colt was a weredragon. I also knew Helel was looking for him, so---- I did what I could to-save

your friend. I found him first and hid him in the cabin. I was going to help him escape the country. I

couldn't give him any cellphone to contact you or anyone else because I didn't want anyone else to get

blamed for associating with and helping the weredrag- on." Maddox admitted to doing so much for me

and not even telling me about it.

I was just watching him with no idea how to respond to him.

"You didn't even tell me---," I sighed, feeling like an idiot for thinking nobody would help Colt.

"I didn't have to. I just wanted to help him with you." He whispered, "But then what did you do? The

instant you are in pain, you went over to him and he---," Maddox's expressions changed again as

misconceptions clouded his mind.

"You are wrong. Nothing happened between us. You think I cheated on you just because you saw me

naked in his bath- tub? Did you not see all the bruises on my body or on my face?" I asked because, as

I recalled, he did lock eyes with mine.

"Maddox! I was in pain, and he only helped me," I said,

shaking my head at him for thinking I would do something so

gross.

"Did you know from the start that he was a weredragon?" Maddox asked, and a gulp ran down my

throat. I wish I could tell him a lie, but that would only make things worse between us. Prior to coming

here, I had made up my mind to break up with Maddox, but after he told me what he had done for me, I

just couldn't break it off with him.

He gave me a little hope. A sliver of hope that if he can hide and protect Colt for me, he will do the

same for me.

"I knew," I mumbled, watching him close his eyes and sink in the information with fresh pain that he

might have felt in- side his heart.

"I knew about him from the start," I said, and he nodded

to himself.

Before Maddox could say a word, we heard someone's footsteps approaching us. I stepped back from

Maddox and forced a smile across my lips. Whoever it was, they didn't need to see the tension

between us.

"Oh! Look who is not asleep tonight." Flynn walked out. into our sight and mumbled as he stared at me

and Maddox.

"What are you doing here at this hour of the night, Beat- rice?" he asked me, clenching his jaw secretly.

"It's her choice to do whatever she wants to do. Why the fuck are you questioning her?" Maddox didn't

even let me re- spond to Flynn. He stepped between Flynn and me and grunted at him.

"Easy brother! Easy! I only asked. She is my stepsister as well. In fact, she is more than just a step---,"

Flynn had a smirk covering his lips when talking nonsense, but Maddox wasn't in the mood tonight.

When he grabbed his collars, Flynn's mood changed.

"Let go of me," Flynn muttered at Maddox. I began to panic.

"Let him go, Maddox." I walked over to Maddox and gen- tly nuzzled his elbow, but he was not listening

to me.

"Why don't you make me, Flynn? I heard you want to be the Alpha king, but you can't even set yourself

free," Maddox laughed at him, shaking his body vigorously.

The frustration was clear on Flynn's face as Maddox kept mocking him and belittling him while he

couldn't even get himself out of Maddox's grasp.

It wasn't like Flynn didn't deserve it. He had been a nui- sance ever since he had come, but I was

worried about Mad- dox. He would get into trouble if he didn't let him go now and drew the attention of

the sleeping people in the mansion.

"Maddox! Please stop," I requested, but with much more. force this time.

Maddox stared at me and then looked back at Flynn, who was huffing and panting angrily.

"Ahhh! Look! your sister saved your ass," Maddox taunted Flynn before he finally let him go.

The way Flynn stared at us one by one made me uncom- fortable. His silent glares held some sort of

"Let's go inside," Once Maddox was done here, he held my hand and walked me past Flynn without

caring what im- pression holding my hand would give.

After we entered the mansion, Maddox slipped my hand free and gestured at me to go back to my

room.

The night was so difficult to pass. I kept having night- mares and then waking up in the middle of the

night.

When I finally woke up in the morning and dressed up to join everyone at breakfast. I saw Maddox miss

out on the fam- ily dinner. I assumed it was because of what we had talked about at the last minute

before the arrival of Flynn last night.

"Beatrice! Your brothers will drop you to school today." Lord Vasquez said my name, and everybody

turned to me.

"Besides, I heard you haven't told anyone that you are go- ing to be my stepdaughter. Don't tell me you

are ashamed of being related to me," Vasquez joked while I awkwardly passed a quick glance to the

brothers.

"No! it is not that. I believe she was waiting for a set date for our mating ceremony," Mom jumped in for

my defense, "but now she can tell everyone and even invite her friends to the wedding, right Beatrice?"

Mom turned to ask me, and I had to awkwardly nod my head. I have no friends.

"Very well then, Flynn and Beatrice can send out invita- tions to their teachers and fellow students

today," Lord Vasquez grouped Flynn and me, and everything turned awk- ward.
