"But if you tell me, I will help you." I tried convincing her, but she only shook her head and dismissed my help.
"I don't know what you saw, but there is nothing going on. I would like for you to wait in the café while I prepare food for you." She stepped away from me, and this time, she wasn't smiling either, like she usually does. "Maura!" I said her name, making her stop in her steps and look at me, "Just in case you want to talk and are ready to take help," I said and left my number on the counter for her. I did not want to force her over anything because I didn't know why she wasn't making a noise and was refusing to take any action against that man.
I walked out of the café to find Helel looking around. His search ended when his eyes landed on me. I looked around and then rushed to the exit to look for my mother. I couldn't find them anywhere.
"They left." Helel knew who I was looking for. "They had an argument, and things turned dirty. My dad called me to pick you up while they resolve whatever issue they are hav- ing," he said from behind me. "Issue! Your father is cheating on my mother with Flynn's mother. That's the issue," I scoffed, shaking my head at the audacity of these men who cheat so shamelessly.
"Hm! Seems like you are not a fan of cheaters." The way Helel said it, I had to turn around and face him.
"Was it a question, a statement, or a taunt?" I asked, fold- ing my arms over my chest and watching his face uneasily.
"Maddox complained you cheated on him with C---olt,"

Helel had to steal his eyes from me when talking about it.
"Oh!" I let out a scoff and then laughed sarcastically.
"That's not how you resolve issues. I know you are clear in your head, but you being naked in his bathtub at that hour of the night with him standing beside you makes no sense. What was going on?" Helel questioned me. I know what he was say- ing wasn't wrong, and I would have thought even worse if I had found Maddox in a bathtub with any girl, but at the mo- ment, I acted completely different from how I should have. In fact, I was so lost in everything happening around me that I acted like they were at fault for even questioning me.
"So you think I will stoop that low to jump into someone else's bathtub when I already have a mate who is my boyfriend?" I complained, watching him eye me to step aside and not raise my voice, as everybody could hear us.
"Let's go talk over there." Helel walked ahead of me and only turned a little to make sure I was following him. I did fol- low him, just to act like a brat.
"Bea! It doesn't matter what I think. He found you in his bathtub. He deserves an explanation." Helel sided with his brother, and it irked me more.
I have never been put in such situations before, so my ac- tions and reactions were all wrong. I was aggressive and get- ting offended over everything. And the worst part is that somewhere in my head, I knew it too. I just didn't have an ex- planation for why I was in the bathtub.
"He would have asked me that question first instead of lunging at Colt and beating him to the point that I thought he was going to kill him," I complained, clenching my jaw at the memory of that night.
"Don't be unfair. When I told you Gwen was special, you were ready to burn her room to a crisp. So don't act like you would have acted differently if you had found me in another girl's bathtub," Helel grunted and paused to itch his temples and correct himself, "I mean, Maddox! if you have found Mad- dox in the bathtub,"
I am left with no answer now. Helel was fucking good at winning arguments.
"Besides, I told you Colt lied to you, and you told me you have no idea where he is. Then how in the hell did Maddox find you in his cabin? Why would you go with him to his cabin, Bea?" Helel was slowly asking me more and more. I opened my mouth to defend myself, but then shut it immediately.
How do I tell him that I am not afraid of Colt because I am one of him?
"Speaking of Colt---- I want you to free him." I had to take deep breaths before demanding something that made him shake his head and close his eyes in shock.
"Sorry! What?" he asked, hunching over and drawing his ear near my face. "I want you to help him escape," I repeated, making Helel look stunned.
"You want me to free that weredragon? Am I hearing you right?" he asked while cocking his face to the left, processing my demand.
"Yes!" I answered, taking a deep breath.
"I- don't know if you understand what you are asking of me, but that is never happening. I would never set a were- dragon free. Those creatures are vicious and dangerous. I will not put my pack in danger, Bea!" Helel shook his head and de- nied helping me. I kind of expected it, but somewhere I thought he would do it for me.
"Right!" I nodded and smiled to myself. "I am sorry I asked you to save a disgusting creature called a weredragon." I low- ered my face as it hit close to home.
Mom was right.
These brothers would never accept a weredragon. So I was a fool for growing feelings for them. As for Maddox, I was not only upset with him for not giving me a chance to say my side, but also for caging my friend. He had heard about Colt from me many times and even knew that I cared for Colt.
That explained only one thing. They would never make an exception, not even for me.
