Sharing Beatrice A Luna To Her Stepbrothers by Alexis Dee

159 | Am A Product Of A Sad Incident.

"Maddox!" I called out for him, but he was looking red with anger. He didn't spare me a second glance

and lunged at Colt, who was not at all ready for this kind of reaction.

I watched Maddox punch Colt in the stomach, and when Colt had to bend over, Maddox elbowed him in

the back. The power Maddox held and the force he applied when hitting Colt made a cracking noise

from Colt's body.

One could tell he had broken bones from Maddox's beat- ing. But that didn't satisfy Maddox. He kept

kicking and punching Colt while the other one didn't do anything.

"Maddox stop!" I yelled, wanting to get out, but it was too slippery, so I fell into the bathtub again.

"Do you know who she is?" Maddox screamed at Colt, holding him by his neck and forcing him against

the wall, "She is my fucking mate that you slept with." Those words from Maddox explained his rage.

Seeing me in that state made Maddox think he had caught us having sex.

"That is not true. He was only helping me," I yelled, pan- icking as Maddox started choking Colt without

any intention of leaving him alive. I got up in the tub, and the instant I took a step out of it, my other foot

slipped, and I landed in the bathtub. But this time, it was different. I hit my head, and my body lost the

power to get back up on my feet again.

I stood there and watched the ceiling turn blurry. The blood in the bathtub slowly began to turn crimson.

My breaths were irrational, and I wheezed like a dying fish.

"Beatrice!" Maddox finally noticed me and ran over to the tub. By the time he hunched over me, my

eyes had completely shut down. I went into a deep slumber while Colt was left at the mercy of Maddox.

I had no clue how things would go from here, but I was sure as hell worried for Colt, even when the

blood from my head had filled the bathtub.

I must have been taken back to the mansion because when I started waking up and taking back my

consciousness, I found myself in the comfort of my bedroom. In fact, I had bandages all over my head,

and it seemed like not a few hours but days had passed.

It was difficult for me to process everything the minute I opened my eyes. Taking deep breaths, I looked

around, still comprehending everything, until the memory of what hap- pened in the cabin flashed

before my eyes.

I instantly rose from my bed, but the lack of motion in the past days made me dizzy enough to lie down

instantly.

"Hey! She has woken up." I heard someone call for every- one, informing them of my awakening. I

pushed myself up and saw my mother rush ahead of everyone else. She seemed to be in a state of

hysteria after watching me.

"Bea!" She jumped into the bed and crawled closer to me.

I had to pull back from her as a reflex.

"I didn't know this would happen," she whispered, cup- ping my face in my hands and sobbing

uncomfortably.

"Please forgive me," she said, hiccupping and keeping my face in her hands when I gently pushed her

away and straightened my back to gather myself.

Akin and Helel were the only ones that came into the

room to check on me. The two rushed inside and stopped at the same time. A mild smile covered their

lips when they watched me look all fine and sit on the bed.

"Are you okay?" Helel asked, stepping closer to the bed with his eyes shining at my sight. All I could do

was a nod to him.

"You scared us like anything," Akin said, reaching for the bed but keeping his distance. He was always

at a good dis- tance from me.

I didn't know what to say to them. It all happened because my mother caught me in bed with Maddox. I

could say my mother beat me up and the whole truth afterward, but my hands were tied behind the

truth of my own. My identity would cause them to hate me and probably I would end up in the same

cave along with Gwen.

Besides, I couldn't risk talking badly about my mother, who had so much against me that I feared she

would use it once she felt threatened.

"I think we should let her spend some time with her moth- er for now," Akin noticed the silence from my

side and con- cluded that I wanted to be with my mother. He gestured at Helel to follow him, and soon

they had left the two of us alone again.

"I am sorry. I don't know what happened to me that night, but fear and panic about losing you made me

lose my tem- per," she continued, now that it was just the two of us.

"You hit me like I was your worst enemy. You frea---king burned my body." I complained, clenching as I

refused to fall for her sugar-coated lies.

"I know what I did, and I cannot justify my actions. But I will say, I was angry because--- this is how I got

fooled too," she muttered and held her hands to her chest.

"Do you think I am a heartless person who would hit her daughter for nothing? My anger knew no limits

at that time. I was reminded of the foolery I have performed in my time." She was finally speaking about

her past.

And even though I hated the sight of her, I was calm. That wasn't the first time she'd beaten me up like

that. The only difference was that I was not apologizing this time after get- ting beat up.

"I was once just like you-sweet and naïve. But Beatrice! That landed me in a mess. You must be

wondering how the hell I gave birth to a weredragon when I am only a werewolf," she asked, and tears

formed in her eyes.

"I was ra*** by a weredragon," she finished, making my body squirm uncomfortably.

"You are a result of it," she added, letting tears fall down her eyes.
