Sharing Beatrice A Luna To Her Stepbrothers by Alexis Dee Book 2
Chapter 401 Alone With My Long Lost Crush
“Everything is packed?” Reign asked, checking our bags one last time. Instead of taking a plane, we have decided to
take the road so that we can make some plans and even adjust to each other. It wouldn’t be easy for us to act like a
couple when I am completely shattered inside.
“Time to go,” I said, giving a side hug to Colt and hugging Reign tightly. “Please look after him,” I whispered in her
ears as
I failed to spot Helel around. Even Zane and Maddox were upset at my choice.
After saying goodbye, I hopped into the car with Akin.
My eyes were still wandering around, even when I knew I shouldn’t be doing it. I was the one who ended things with
him, so I shouldn’t be expecting him to come here and watch me leave.
Akin started the car, and soon we were on the road. I haven’t said a word, and
Akin has not forced me into any sort of conversation either.
I wanted to spend this time alone, but every few seconds, I would remember Helel’s face, and tears would rush out
of my eyes.
‘It is so hard to think he is not ours anymore,’ Ace, who I thought would be celebrating, said in a shaky voice.
‘You are missing him?’ I was shocked when I questioned her.

to mourn.
‘I don’t know what to say anymore. It is like he came back just to leave me again,’ I said, pressing my lips in a tight
line to prevent the quavering and getting the attention of Akin.
‘Maybe when we come back, we will be able to look past the things that happened between him and her?’ She tried
to convince me, but I knew my answer.
‘I cannot let him go to be with her just to come back and confuse them more. It is not about our lives alone. Gwen
is also someone who has feelings. We cannot be selfish,’ I made myself clear that there might never be him and me
again.
She remained silent, and that’s when Akin cleared his throat. He would always do that to notify me that he had
something to say.
“If you are hungry, we can make a quick stop here,” he refused to turn his head at me. That gave me enough time
to secretly clean my tears and then mumble. “I don’t know. I am quite not feeling like eating anything,” I excused,
“but if you are hungry—.” I couldn’t finish because he shook his head at me.
“No, I am not hungry either,” he stated. “Maybe we should have taken a plane instead,” he suggested, “it would
have been a quick journey and you wouldn’t have to spend time thinking about him and mourning over the
relationship,” he was speaking softly as if he didn’t want to say anything wrong that would upset me.
“I don’t know. Whatever you like,” I commented, turning my head to the window again. I couldn’t really tell what
had happened, but my heart felt dry.
Those last words of Helel stung me.
“I will check on him; don’t worry,” must have noticed it was all about Helel.
“Thank you,” I replied, but kept my head on the other side.
“Beatrice,” once I thought there was nothing left to talk about, he called for my name, and when I turned to him, he
shook his head and continued, “Nothing.”
I knew he wanted to say something, but I didn’t force him. I was beginning to realize that maybe he was right. We
should have taken a plane instead of a day’s journey.
“You know what?” Akin mumbled and fixed his posture in the seat,” we should take a stop.”
That came out of nowhere. I understand he has been driving a whole day by this point, but just a few minutes ago
he recommended we should have taken a quick plane, and now he wants to take a break?
“What for?” I asked, and he shrugged. “Well, I am tired.” He made it seem like I should not have even questioned it.
“Oh! So we are going to sleep in the woods?” I pouted in confusion.
“No duffer. There are some shady motels around, we can sleep a night off in one of them,” the way he added the
word shady and then didn’t even look a tad bit concerned made me raise my eyebrows at him.
“Shady ones?” I asked, and he nodded. “Why? Are you afraid of them?” He had a smirk on his lips when he parked
next to a very shady one.
“No, but I am afraid of your intentions. Don’t tell me you finally found a way to get rid of me,” I faked anger before

“Oh, s*hit. You caught me,” he said, playing along, grabbing the bags, and walking into the motel with me. The
couple on the counter was taking candies, and the type of candies they were taking was questionable.
“Oh! The rent per hour is—,” the man was about to continue talking when the lady slapped his chest to shut him up.
“This is the handsome alpha king Akin,” she whispered in her man’s ears, and then fixed her cleavage, pulling it
even down.
“See, everybody knows me,” Akin bowed in my ear and whispered.
I had to roll my eyes at him, and then I looked at the girl and said, “Two bedrooms.” “Two? You two are not a
couple?” The glow on her face was unsettling.
“We are. She is just mad at me that I am so handos—,” he started yammering, and I turned to raise my eyebrow at
him.
“Well, there is only one room available tonight,” the man said, “and that’s our bedroom, but you two can stay with
us.”
The cheeky grin he gave us made me want to vomit. I then turned to Akin and growled, “You wanted to come here
and rest? Go ahead.”
There was no way I was staying here in this thirsty motel. I walked out to rest in the car, and soon Akin followed.
Now we were going to sleep in a car with the weather turning colder with every passing minute.
