Sharing Beatrice A Luna To Her Stepbrothers by Alexis Dee

286-He Only Wants Sex!

Maura's POV:

After leaving Beatrice with that monster, I left to find my mother.

I had actually taken an enormous risk, but thankfully, he didn't betray me this time.

My mom was tied to a tree in chains.

Mom!" I smiled when I rushed over to embrace her. She was weak but looked very concerned. She

even hugged me more reluctantly.

"You are not happy?" I asked, looking around for the key. Ubel said he would leave near my mom after

tying the chains to the tree.

'What did you do to get me released from his grasp?" Mother asked, and I noticed that she didn't look

too happy. I know she was worried because in the end, she saw me getting up and leaving with Ubel,

offering him myself.

'Don't worry. I didn’t sleep with him," as soon as I comforted my mother, she regained the smile I

wanted to see on her lips.

'Where is the key?" I was beginning to get impatient.

'He didn't leave the key?” I asked my mother, who steadily shook her head.

What worried me was the fact that he was not supposed to tie my mom to the tree. In fact, he was only

supposed to leave her in iron shackles so that she didn't transition.

’It is fine, I can bend the iron—," I only placed my hand on the shackles when I felt a burning sensation

and immediately removed my hands.

’Steel!’ I muttered, realizing he had used steel to cover the iron as well.

He always knew my weakness was steel.

’What the heck! He tricked me,’ my heart started beating loudly once I acknowledged he might be

coming back for me.

'Sit here and wait for me, okay?" I told my mom while walking away from her. I stood at a distance from

where I could still watch her and pulled my phone out.

I held my phone in my hand and kept thinking, who should I call for help?*

Whoever gets here will ask me, 'why my mother was in iron chains?'

That’s when my phone rang, and it seemed like the Moon Goddess was trying to help me.

Zane!

’Hello," I instantly answered him with high hopes. If I could trust him, I would be able to get us out of

here.

*1 am comhing to seehhh you," he said from the other side, heavily drunk and slurring his speech.

*1 am not at home," I immediately stopped him from going there.

"Tell me where you are; I need to see you,’ His snotty voice and sniffles made me worried for him. He

sounded like he had been crying for hours.

'I am sending you the address. I need your help," he told me. After he told me that he wanted to see

me, I felt like he would help me.

I mean, he knew I was a huldra and he told no one, so I sort of believed he didn't really care what other

creatures were roaming around.

I sat down with my mother anxiously. My eyes were scanning around for Zane.

’Do you think the Alpha King brother would keep our secret?" mom asked, and I sighed.

'He is our only hope before Ubel comes and gets us,’ I said. Sometimes it was so hard to not call him

father. I grew up calling him that name, but since he was so abusive, I never really loved that title.

So it was just a word for me.

'How did you convince him to let us go?" Mom brought up the same question once again.

'I offered him—some money I had stolen from someplace," I lied and felt guilty.

I was not a bad person, just very helpless at the moment.

’There must be a bigger amount for him to let us go," mother commented, but I didn't look her way.

'I got you the pills though,’ I then showed her the pill bottle and watched her face light up with

excitement.

’You did it," Mom said with a smile.

'Now, once we are in the safe, I will go ask Princess Beatrice to come with me. Her people will be so

happy to see her," mom looked so hopeful when talking about Beatrice.

She had put two and two together, but the sad part was that I lost Princess Beatrice again.

I was drowning in guilt and unable to make a confession.

Finally, Zane arrived and stopped when he found my mother tied against the tree.

’What the fuck is going on here?” His eyes darkened at the sight of my extremely ill- looking mother.

’HI explain everything to you, but first, can you please break those chains?" I asked, lowering my head

and hiding my eyes from him.

But who is she?" he asked me once again, leaving the alcohol bottle on the ground and reaching my

mother.

’She is my mother," I whispered, and his eyes widened in acknowledgment.

He stared at my face in silence for a minute before he reached my mom and held the chains in his

hand, breaking them easily from the tree and freeing my mother.

"This is not a safe place to be at. Let's take her somewhere else,' he said, eyeing me to pick up the

bottle while he carried my mother in his arms.

Honestly speaking, his showing care for my mother, along with his alcohol bottle, still made me smile.

He was caring in his own twisted way.

I followed him to his car, and after lying my mother in the backseat, he helped me into the passenger

seat and got in the driver's seat to drive us away to safety.

’I know I owe you an explanation," I whispered, watching him drive to the mountains.

My mom had fallen asleep in the backseat after having stable ground under her for so many years.

'I don't need your explanation right now, Maura. I want you to please me in a way that I forget about

everything else," he whispered, expressing his desire at the moment, but I watched a tear reach for his

cheek.

He was hurting.
