200-They Come To Bully Me.
Beatrice's POV:
I have been in a weird position with everyone. Pamela was taking good care of me, but so far I have
cracked her. She was only nice to the girls, whom she thought was miserable. The ones who were
strongly loved by someone were not her cup of tea. So maybe she just wanted to surround herself with
frills who are miserable and unable to think about anything but their troubles.
I went to the café with a heavy heart. My head still hurts, and my pill bottle will soon run out of pills.
Now that my mother was no longer a rogue she-wolf, nor was she a soon- to-be lady. I don’t know how
she was planning to get me pills.
We were not exactly pack members, as nobody wanted US and neither were we rogues. So it was
pretty safe to say we were neither here nor there.
I would usually walk out of the house and look at the tall grass, but that habit was no longer a choice.
After I watched Markus look at me as if I were a meal, I couldn't stomach leaving at night.
I had borrowed some money from my mother because I wanted to call Akin from a telephone booth this
time. However, the instant I walked out of the kitchen with an apron on, I saw Maddox sitting in the
café.
’Come here!" His tone was extremely discourteous when calling for me. I stared at him for a moment
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbefore walking away. There were few customers, as it was still so early.
‘Good morning, sir, what would you like to have?' I asked him, forcing a smile across my lips and
keeping my eyes on the notepad I was holding.
'Whatever I ordered yesterday,’ he said.
I raised my eyes only a little and noticed him scanning me from head to toe.
'So, how is this life treating you? I suppose you must be having a hard time walking through the tall
grass every day and not taking a fancy car with many guards,' he commented with a scoff.
'It is treating me well.’ I didn't want to indulge in a conversation with someone who was still hurt and
mourning his brother's death. If Helel wasn't in the equation, I might have spent some time educating
Maddox, but right now, he looked like a broken brother, and I wouldn't ever hurt anyone who was
related to Helel.
■| heard some dead bodies had been found in the field. In fact, I heard you are the one who—He
paused as he stared behind me after the café door opened and somebody walked in. I turned around
only a little to see Zane walking in and staring deeply into my eyes. Of course, he knew I worked here,
but his gaze was always silent and intense.
’Good morning, sir,’ I said, stepping aside but instantly lowering my eyes.
'How are you, Beatrice?" Instead of treating me like a server, he said my name and sat down from
across the table with his brother.
‘I am good," I answered, keeping my eyes down.
'What are you doing here?' Maddox asked Zane, and I could tell he wasn't happy to see him here.
'I should ask you this question, brother! I know you are angry and frustrated, but taking your anger out
on someone who didn't even do anything with bad intent is just not right.’ Zane spoke directly to
Maddox in a low, deep tone.
'I don't know what you are talking about. I only came here to enjoy breakfast," Maddox grunted, maybe
not liking the idea that his brother had come here and was lecturing him. I honestly expected Zane to
be very mad at me, but he looked fine.
'She has been through a lot. Don't make it any harder for her." Zane spread his hand out on the table
and steadily held the pepper shaker.
'We have been through a lot, Zane. We lost our brother,' Maddox complained, not happy that his
brother didn't acknowledge his suffering.
'She lost her mate and everything. Her life reset after what happened. Don't put the blame on her, and
send the energy to the mastermind behind this mess," Zane hinted at Flynn. The way he said his name
was enough for me to know he hated him. And who wouldn't?
Flynn wasn't only an abandoned child, but someone who had come back in spite and killed an innocent
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmman. The fact that Zane and Flynn used to be friends and then Flynn slept with his girlfriend makes me
think he found out about his relationship with Lord Vasquez sooner and decided to steal everything
from the brothers that he thought belonged to him.
‘Beatrice! Go inside,’ Zane said to me, keeping his eyes on Maddox, who was glaring at him.
’But I was taking his order," I whispered.
"He will ask someone else," Zane added, but just when I was about to leave, Maddox stole my
attention with his one sentence.
’Don’t stay at work till late hours,’ he grumpily mumbled. I know why he said that. He was warning me
of the monster in the fields.
I went into the kitchen and took off my apron. It wasn't easy watching them again and not being able to
interact with them like I used to.
’What happened? You didn't take the orders?’ Maura asked me as she walked into my view, her hands
behind her pack and tying the apron.
'I couldn't. The Alpha King brothers are here," I stated in a murmur, but the way her face lit up confused
me.
’Alpha King Zane is here." She asked out of the blue, making me watch her face in silence until she
explained, ’He is a regular here. He leave—s big tips," she smiled awkwardly.
'Yeah! He is outside with Alpha King Maddox," I said, pointing at the door.
Maura had a huge smile plastered over her lips when she rushed out of the kitchen like a butterfly. I
couldn't help but notice her mood change every time Zane's name was mentioned to her.
