Sharing Beatrice novel

Chapter 70

Sharing Beatrice A Luna To Her Stepbrothers by Alexis Dee

Chapter 70 – Not So Innocent!

I have been in my room thinking about what happened between Helel and me last night. Now that it

was slowly starting to sink in, I was beginning to understand what I lost last night. It wasn’t a problem

for me, but my mother would be very angry when she found out about it.

However, it is not like I am ever going to tell her anything. She would never find out. Now that I have

tasted freedom, the idea of answering someone’s burning questions doesn’t seem too desirable to me.

I wanted to live freely now. It is not like I didn’t want to ever see my mother, but I wanted her to not

control me too much.

“What happens if I don’t take the pills for too long?” I asked myself that question, holding the pill bottle

in my hand and staring at it. I was resting in the bed, my arms stretched out and the bottle in the air.

“Would it be okay to let my wolf transition once?” I tried to convince myself to transition, but then I

remembered how wrong it could go if he tracked my scent.

“No! I must not make that mistake,” I said to myself and sat up in bed. Without wasting another minute,

I took the pill and calmed down.

Now that I have decided to not mess up my routine, I planned to meet Helel and see what he was up

to. It really shocked me when I walked out of the room and found the mansion empty. I don’t know how

long I have been in my room, but it certainly hasn’t been years.

“Now where the heck is everyone?” I sighed. Taking a quick peek inside the kitchen and finding no one

there didn’t help my anxiety. I kept wandering around until my eyes traveled to the hallway and the light

emitting from the room at the end.

“That’s Akin’s library. Maybe he is home,” I whispered, proceeding to walk in that direction and probably

have a word with him. It could be anything at all.

As the distance between the library and me decreased, I began to feel uneasy. The air was beginning

to feel eerily vi- brant. I walked closer and peered inside to see what was going on. That’s when I was

able to see inside and see it was not Akin in the study.

My heart sank in my chest when I found Gwen checking through the shelves.

“Gwen? What are you doing here?” I instantly marched inside, and when I raised my voice to let her

know I caught her, it startled her beyond my expectations.

The way she jumped and pulled away from the shelf was itself a sign that she shouldn’t have been in

his study.

“I umm- I w—as—,” she gulped loudly, taking little strides around while trying to calm herself down.

“You what?” I asked, folding my arms across my chest and making dead eye contact with her.

She looked panicked when she turned around to me and smiled awkwardly.

“I was making sure I had returned the book. You see! I got a book from him, and now I cannot find it.”

She giggled a little, shrugging her shoulders and doing random gestures to throw me off.

“Did you ask for his permission before walking into his study like that?” I kept interrogating her and

making her rub her palms even harder.

“Oh! I thought it was just a library,” she sighed, lowering her head to sound genuinely disappointed in

herself. Some- thing was way off about her, and I wasn’t thinking like that, only because I was jealous

of her. I just got bad vibes from her.

“Anyway! I will go back to my room now,” she said, and she tried bolting past me when I followed her

briskly to her room.

“Why are you following me?” she asked suddenly, laughing hysterically. Her actions were very random

and suspicious. The calm and collective Gwen was nowhere to be seen.

“I want to help you find his book,” I said as I walked past her and into her bedroom ahead of her. She

was following me with her jaw hanging low.

“There is no need for that, Beatrice!” she said, joining me in the room, but this time she wasn’t laughing

or looking hysterical. In fact, she looked anxious-or maybe a tiny bit furious too.

“No! it is fi— oh look! There it is,” I stated as I pointed at the book resting near the windowsill. It was

amazing how she couldn’t see the book in sight.

“Oh! Sometimes the thing is right before your eyes and you cannot see it.” She slapped her forehead

and grabbed the book, avoiding making eye contact with me by focusing only on the book. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

“You can miss things in sight, but I don’t. I can always find the little things people are hiding.” I

commented and tilted my head, watching her raise her eyes and stare at me for a moment before

forcing a smile across her lips.

“That is a good habit.” She said, “Helel! When did you arrive?” She then looked behind her at me to

speak to the person joining us.

“Just a minute ago. What were you girls talking about?” Helel stepped inside the room and passed us a

quick stare.

“I was in your brother’s library looking for a book when Beatrice arrived. She seemed upset at the fact

that I used the library without Akin’s permission. I guess I need to know the rules a little better,” she

rushed before me to explain the whole situation. I kind of felt like she set me up for another argument

with the brothers cally.

“Akin’s study?” Helel asked, and Gwen nodded apologetic.

“Beatrice is right, you should first seek his permission,” when Helel agreed with me. The smile from

Gwen’s lips. seemed to fade a little before she got a hold of her emotions and bobbed her head in

agreement with him.

“And don’t wander around all the time,” I added when I became a little too overconfident. Gwen looked

upset at my comment, but a scoff from Helel caught our attention.

“There is no such rule as that.” Helel eyed me to not annoy Gwen before he turned to Gwen again to

say, “Akin will pick you up in an hour for a doctor’s appointment.”

As I realized she will be leaving again, it was only brought to my attention that Helel and I will be left

alone again.
