Sharing Beatrice A Luna To Her Stepbrothers by Alexis Dee

274-The Ugly Truth.

'I don't even know what to say to comfort you." he whispered. "Lost truth and dirty secrets can be

killing. I can never imagine not knowing my parents." Once the mention of his parents was brought up. I

broke the hug but stayed close to him.

’Did Pamela tell you about your parents?” he asked.

’No!" I lied, "but she talked about her mate." It was at this moment that I pulled away from him so that I

could see his face clearly for a reaction.

’Elex! Remember that name?" I took a pause to gather courage when talking about the weredragons:

"He was supposedly killed by the weredragons, but then tell me why- why did Pamela confess to his

murder?" I questioned him, watching his eyes grow.

’What do you mean? Why would she confess to his murder? Maybe she was trying to scare you by

telling you how dangerous she can be." He looked so confused that he gave an excuse for her

confession.

’No! The fact that she hid a monster and fed it to others was enough for me to know she is dangerous

and evil. She told me specifically why she killed her mate. She was angry at him for having an affair

with that woman and having a child with her. So she killed him and your father— he helped her hide the

truth and point fingers at the weredragons," I stated while watching his face turn dark.

’Why would dad help her?" He was raising his voice against his knowledge.

’Because she knew his secret," I said and got up from the couch to stand at a distance from him. The

look he was giving me was enough to conclude he was scared his parents had hidden something from

him.

’Akin, year parents started the war and all the misunderstanding to shun the weredragons out so that

the truth can never come out," I said in one breath.

Talking about it without displaying feelings was not easy. I have to show him I am not emotionally

attached to this story when, in reality, it was quite the opposite. I was badly influenced by the story ever

since I heard it.

’What truth? Just say it." he sighed, clenching his fists and preparing himself. For a long time, they

were told lies, and the war was seen as a gesture of triumph and love from a lord to his subjects.

However, it was just an opposite situation where the innocents were shunned and the cruelty won.

’Your parents stole the weredragon babies.” As soon as he heard me say that, he shook his head and

got up on his feet.

’Pamela lied to you. My parents would never steal someone's babies." he refused to believe, and I

don't blame him.

’Your father killed his own son in the worst way possible. Do you still think he is not capable of stealing

someone else's babies?" I was no longer whispering the truth to him. Without my knowledge. I raised

my voice at him.

’No! I don't think it's possible. They-why would they steal babies? They have their own,’ he scoffed,

looking agitated as if he believed it was possible but was not accepting it.

To save the baby they have? They fed that weredragon baby to their child. Akin. They freaking—," that

was all I could say because the look on his face shut me up.

He looked like he had been dragged to hell. The little step he took away from me when the realization

struck him was saddening.

I didn't want him to find out about it like this. I am sure he was already putting pieces together.

’That— that is not possible." he said as he gagged a little. ’No way somebody ate babi es,” he covered

his mouth in his hand and flinched in disgust.

"The baby had no option. The ch—,’ I was trying to let him know he didn't have to feel bad, but he didn't

listen to me and stormed out of the house.

’Akin!” I walked after him to the door, but he had vanished.

’Shit!" I cursed. "Maybe I shouldn't have said all that. But I wanted him to know his truth so that he can

help himself and do something about his condition." I sighed and haven' t even walked back when

Zane's car pulled up and he rolled out of it.

’I saw Akin speeding away. Is he okay?’ he asked when walking into the house with some stuff in his

hands.

’Yeah,’ I lied, "Zane! Thank you so much for saving my life," I replied, and I followed him to the couch,

where he sat up and rubbed his hands over his face.

’I brought you some stuff," he uncovered his face and then drew my pill bottle out of his pocket.

’Oh!" I exclaimed in relief and snatched the bottle out of his hands happily. Although there were few

pills left inside they would be enough to share with Maura's mother until I find a way to somehow prove

the weredragons innocent.

'I knew you would be freaking out." he smiled sweetly. I then remembered what he told Pamela about

Maura.

"I know you are still mad at me, and you are not wrong about it. But don't expect me to be with her. It is

just heart wants, what it wants,’ he said hurriedly as if it was too hard for him to delay anymore.

'With that being said, I realized what the problem is here. We keep too many secrets from each other."

As he started talking, I felt my heart racing in my chest. He was not wrong. I had kept a lot of secrets

from him.

'How about we share our secrets and promise to help each other?" He smiled, but I couldn't return the

pleasure.

I was not sure at all.

’Okay! How about I start first?" He noticed I looked agitated, so he went ahead and placed something

on the table that didn't bring a smile to my lips but a frown.

’That is my diary!" I said, feeling my blood turn cold in my veins.
