Sharing Beatrice A Luna To Her Stepbrothers by Alexis Dee

184-The One Who Stood By Me.

"Take her away from here and throw her on the road. Whoever wants her first can have her." Lord

Vasquez waved his hand as he ordered the guards to take me away.

I didn't move a muscle, as I thought I deserved it. But that's when I felt a push towards the side and

Akin's back facing me. He had shielded me entirely with his broad shoulders and gigantic body.

"Don't come near her," Akin grunted, warning the guards not to take another step in my direction.

"What are you doing, Akin? Do you not know what happened to your brother because of her?" Sofia

protested her son’s actions and tried to remind him of the horrible fate of Alpha King Helel.

"Because of her? Dad is the one who made that call," Akin argued with his mother. I have never heard

his voice shake before. His twin just died. It obviously devastated him.

"Akin!* Lord Vasquez warned him against saying anything else.

"You cannot silence me anymore. You said Helel would not be shot in the heart or head, but then you

changed your mind, and that’s exactly what ended up happening," Akin yelled at his father, using his

aggression, but he didn't step out of my way at the same time. He was keeping the guards away from

me.

"It was a genuine mistake," Lord Vasquez lied. Even a blind man could see the guilt on his face. He

knew this would happen and didn't do anything to stop it. I just couldn't get how a father could do

something so heartless to his son.

"No! You don’t kill your son because of a mistake. You wanted one of us gone so that you can give your

bastard child the crown and stop the investigation open on your name," Akin was not having it. I could

only see his back, but his voice gave me the hint that he might be in tears.

"What investigation?" Sofia gasped at the mention of something she didn't expect to be the reason

behind this execution.

"Oh! So you don't even know. Your dear ex had been under scrutiny for abandoning his Alpha son. In

order to compensate, he badly wanted to snatch the crown from one of his kids and give it to Flynn.

Today was an opportunity for him, and he made sure he didn't let go of it." Akin let out a scoff before

yammering the whole truth to his mother.

I was emotionlessly standing behind him. It was even impossible now to shed a single tear.

"You sacrificed my son for a bastard child," Sofia yelled. She had been crying hysterically, and I

couldn't even object. She had every right to be mad at anyone involved with what happened to Helel.

"Not even for him. Dad did it for his own reputation," Akin made a huge claim, leaving his mother in

surprise. But the gut-wrenching truth still persisted.

Helel was gone!

"That's enough. It’s not like Helel hadn't fucked up. Do you even know what it means to let a

weredragon into our pack? It means letting those vicious creatures crawl out of the other side and ruin

everything we have been saving," Lord Vasquez, who had been hearing his son yell and accuse him of

cleverly saving his ass by sacrificing his son, shouted to bring silence to anyone objecting him.

"But what for? We already lost one son. My perfect Helel!’ Sofia's voice broke down once again.

"And the major culprit behind it is standing right over here. Akin! Before defending her, remember that

she is the reason Helel lost his life. If she hadn't come into his life, he would have never gone behind

my back," said Lord Vasquez, sneakily turning the topic to me once again.

"NO!" As soon as Akin watched the guards come for me again, he spread his arms wider.

"Nobody touches her," Akin warned. "Don't make me lose myself here," he warned them.

"You are making me think you are one of her admirers. It is disgusting how you all are looking at her."

Lord Vasquez used a new tactic to compel Akin to step away from me.

"I don't give a fuck what you think anymore. You are not hurting her. She is not at fault just the way

Helel wasn't," Akin raised his voice even louder. I heard a cracking of his bone and instantly knew he

was going off the deep end.

"If you think I’m still keeping her after what she did and what happened - - Lord Vasquez didn't have to

finish his threat because Sofia took over.

"Over my dead body!" Her voice was much more profound as she groaned.

"Then let her walk away," Akin demanded.

"We cannot trust her. That friend of hers will try to contact her soon." Lord Vasquez said.

"Then I'll keep an eye on her, but I'm not letting you deal with her just the way you made the guards

deal with Helel." Akin yelled at his parents. His body was radiating heat. I wondered how his clothes

hadn't caught fire by now.

"And if you are unable to watch her walk away alive, then I will leave the crown and go rogue." Akin’s

threat resulted in a gasp of shock from his parents. They were stunned to hear their son make such a

big claim.

Obviously, Lord Vasquez only needed one spot, so he could look generous by giving his bastard son

an equal opportunity to live his best life, just like the other brothers. Now that he had gotten that spot,

he wouldn't lose another son.

"Fine! But whatever she does now is on you. If you made the same mistakes as Helel, I' d have to kick

you out myself." I could only imagine how difficult it was for Lord Vasquez not to punish me and kill me

right there and then.

"But they will not set foot in our mansion again. Take them away; then strip them of any luxury they had

received from me," he clarified, adding that he no longer intended to marry my mother.

None of it really mattered anymore, though. He took Helel away from us.
