Sharing Beatrice A Luna To Her Stepbrothers by Alexis Dee

220-Let's Play A Game, Shall We?

"Let's leave this place and live somewhere else," he whispered, but that's when I recalled Flynn and

how he could stay here and ruin everyone.

"No! I don't want to be selfish." I shook my head and pushed away from him.

He stared at me as if he had seen a ghost.

"But I - - before he could object, I hushed him this time.

"I have a lot to deal with. I'm not ready for anything right now," I said as I kept staring into his face and

taking steps back from him.

He didn't even know I'm a weredragon. How can I leave with him or anyone else without telling them

the truth?

I took off before he could stop me, sprinting downstairs, when I saw Flynn entering the living room with

Mariah behind him. She looked a bit gloomy, and he looked annoyed.

I had to stop and eavesdrop on them because it looked like they were having an argument.

"What have I told you about not wandering around Zane?" Flynn started off very strongly. He was

growling and grunting at her.

"I wasn't—,’ her voice was filled with hesitation, *he came in the view so I asked him how was he?" She

was not using her infamous high pitch.

"Why?" he asked stubbornly.

"Flynn! I don't get what the issue is here. It's not like he's our enemy. We all used to be friends—," as

she finally found the courage to stand up for herself. She was shut down by a loud groan from Flynn.

"And he is your ex," he interrupted, reminding her why he wants her to stay away from him.

"It's not like you don't have a mate who you have yet to reject," she muttered, giving him back.

There was a silence that made me curious. He probably wasn't expecting that demand.

"She is my fated mate. I cannot just reject her like that," he argued with her, making me roll my eyes at

him for questioning her loyalty while making different rules for himself.

"Like that? So how do you plan to reject her then? It's not like you haven't slept with her already. Don’t

tell me you are planning for more," she muttered under her clenched jaw, raising a good concern. I

would be worried too if the same happened to me.

"Mariah! I'm getting engaged to you today. Is that not enough assurance of my loyalty to you? If that's

not enough, there is no need for a ceremony then," his threat made her let out a gasp. I knew he would

somehow convince her.

"No! You are taking it wrong." Her tone changed almost instantly.

"What's the issue? You don't like me talking to Zane? Fine! I’ll not do it. Now, please, let’ s not spoil the

mood and join the others. They are waiting for US. The ceremony has started." I could only imagine

how difficult it was for her to fake a happy tone after he basically threatened to leave her.

"You go ahead and join the others. I'll come back in a minute. I'll go check the speakers for the

announcement," Flynn mumbled rudely.

I ran away to hide behind a wall while he went upstairs and Mariah left for the garden.

I knew where Flynn had left off. It was a vacant room on the top floor to fix the power for the speakers.

Every pack's alpha and beta have recorded some sweet messages for the couple that would go live

from that room.

I knew exactly what I was looking for, so I rushed after him to the room.

He was already inside and checking the plug, making sure he plugged in the recordings instead of the

live mic.

I stepped inside and locked the door; he got alarmed at my arrival.

"Beatrice!' he frowned. 'What are you doing here?" His eyebrows narrowed, and a covering look

covered his face, but he managed to quickly run his hand over his gray suit to fix his appearance.

"I came here to see you," I whispered, looking sad and devastated.

"Oh really? Seems like someone hasn't been able to sleep after the announcement of my engagement

ceremony." He folded his arms on his chest and approached me.

I started walking in a circle and stopped with the plug. He turned around with me and faced me.

"You are my mate. How can I be happy?" I scoffed, lowering my eyes as if I were tearing up and

wanted to hide my teary eyes from him.

"You didn't remember that when you called th3 principal and my mother to mock me in front of the

entire school," he smirked as he watched me look sad over him.

"I was angry," I said, leaning back on the table and resting my hands behind me.

"And what about you and the brothers? Did you reject Maddox already?" He asked me, watching me

with attention.

"He did," I lied. "He has moved on," I uttered, but I didn't lie this time.

His smirk grew wider, with a hint of triumph in it.

"See! This is what happens when you cross me. I was going to accept you and not that slutty brat, but

you pissed me off, and now I have to accept that rusty bitch. Ah! I can’t even back away because I

have to look perfect and get her father's shares to surpass Akin's." He lowered his head and muttered,

scratching his skin as he calculated everything within.

"You already have Helel's crown. Why do you want to go after Akin's business now?" I asked, watching

his phone vibrate with his mother's name on the screen.

Before he could answer her call, I pushed forward and held his hands. Although I shocked him with my

act, at least he stopped considering picking up the phone call.

It took him a minute before he smirked and clutched his fingers tightly around my hands.

"You want me, don't you?" He smirked, his eyes traveling to my lips.

I wasn't saying anything with my lips, only using gestures, but I was sneaky about it.

So I did whatever I had to do to let him keep talking.

I nodded, and it boosted his ego.
