Sharing Beatrice A Luna to her Stepbrothers

Chapter 549 I Resign. (Maura)

“Zane! You’re hurting me,” I shouted, complaining as I crawled after him mercilessly. Everyone was looking at us as he dragged me disrespectfully.

I felt betrayed when he pushed me into the room and dropped me on the bed. “Why the hell can’t you stay away from her?” he shouted, his finger pointed at my face.

“I told you that you would still be my queen, so why did you have to go there and talk to her?” She kept screaming, making me wonder why I was so blindly in love with this man.

“Did you kill my mom?” I asked, without breaking eye contact with him. The fact that his main focus remained on Beatrice when she was clearly crying in front of him devastated surprised me.

He didn’t seem to care one bit. It was pretty obvious that she was his priority, and everyone else was just a tool he wanted to use in the process.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“What? Why are you asking me that? Do you think I’m a monster? He yelled at me, grabbing me by the arm and shaking me to my feet.

His touch was not gentle, and he knew it too.

“Why do you show so much sympathy for these people, Maura?” He screamed in my face, shaking my body to keep reminding me that I am accountable to him.

The lair is my home, Zane. These are my people,” I started crying as I tried to make him understand how my mother wanted to be here all her life and how it feels to come here with him to hurt these very people my mother loved.

“What?” Zane wrinkled his nose, “your people?” The mockery in his tone did not surprise me.

He had acted very differently since he came here and killed Akin. It was as if there was a switch on. He was excited to be with Beatrice, and that was all he cared about.

“When are you going to face reality, Maura? They are not your people. No one is. You’re Huldra. You don’t belong anywhere. You are a phenomenon for werewolves and dragon men. I am the only one who respects you and is ready to make you my queen.

What more do you want?” He screamed, forcing me to close my eyes to stop looking at his face.I’ve always wanted to see only love in those eyes, but looking at it like that broke me.

“What had happened to you? Why are you so insecure with her? I told you. You will be mine forever. She has become my ego now. But you! I love you. You have to stop trying to get attention. I’ll be completely yours once I’m done with this mess,” he said, but his words didn’t make my heart race because his grip around my arm was so painful.

“But...” The moment I wanted to express my emotions to him, he rolled his eyes and pushed me back.

“But what, Maura? Why don’t you sit in the corner and let me take care of things? Why are you becoming a nuisance now? We are this close to achieving our mission, and now you have decided to cause trouble,” he shouted, losing control over me once again.

“Our mission? I didn’t want to be with you to be part of any mission that kills many innocent lives. It’s just your mission that you want to force your love for Beatrice,” I finally said. But obviously, the truth didn’t sit well with him.

He turned to me angrily and hissed, “You fuck,” while raising his hand to me. He stopped when I gasped.

“Sit here and think about what you’re doing. I’ll come back when you realize how you’re worrying me,” he muttered quietly and then left the room as he closed the door. I even heard him close it from the other side.

“He never loved me,” I fell to my knees and held my face in my hands. “I’m so dumb,” I groaned. All I wanted was to have a home and have someone who loved and respected me. I didn’t want to have someone whose heart was under someone else’s love spell.

That’s when I started putting the pieces together.

“I loved him with all my might, but he used me and my mother...”, I bit my lower lip, moaning low.

I grabbed a piece of paper and decided to write my feelings in a letter since he wouldn’t let me say them to his face. “You constantly tell me you love me, but your actions prove otherwise. As you celebrated your happiness and victory at being so close to having Beatrice, you told me so much that I don’t even like to look in the mirror anymore. You know, when I was in that bad man’s cage for years, he only reminded you of you. I loved you all those years, but only for you to go back to being the high school girl I never wanted to be. You are right! I hate myself, but not because I’m questioning your love, but because I’ve loved you all this time when I knew deep down why I don’t have a mother now.Even though I want to leave you because I don’t want to kill anyone so you can have someone else to love more than me, I know leaving is not an option for me. As long as I am alive, I will continue to love you. So, I’m left with only one option. I will beg for mercy for all the chaos that happened because of me. I hope you do the same before you can no longer apologize. Just remember me as someone who loved you unconditionally and whom you used mercilessly.”

With that, I put the letter on the bed and grabbed the injection they had been giving everyone in the den to stop their healing abilities for some time.

After injecting it into my body, I grabbed a knife and sat on the bed, the same bed he wanted to sleep in at night, to feel the essence of Beatrice.

“I love you,” with those last words coming from my lips, I cut my neck.
