Chapter 469 He Knows! He Knows!
We woke up the next day with countless issues waiting for our attention.
“I brought cookies,” Jay smiled innocently, offering me the first to show me respect even when Shiloh had raised her hand to get
one.
Her mood changed when she watched him offer me first.
I gave him a smile and accepted the cookies before he distributed them.
We were in the garden, discussing things. Gwen was silently sitting there with her eyes closed. Helel was actually doing a great
job of taking care of her.
However, Helel and I hadn’t spoken since the morning.
I watched him secretly look my way before looking away, but I could tell he remembered what happened last night. “My mom is a
healer. If you guys want, I can ask her to find a way to treat Lady Gwen,” Jay suggested with a determined look on his face.
He was incredibly helpful and caring. I wonder how Shiloh trapped him. “Why?” Before we could have our hopes raised, Shiloh
interrupted.
“What do you mean by why?” He looked disappointed in his girlfriend for asking such a question.
“I mean, what is the need for it? They are taking care of her,” Shiloh hissed shamelessly.
We were all watching her face in disbelief. Her life would have been in danger if we hadn’t taken care of her, and this is how she
was repaying us. “I mean, it will be much scarier if your mother causes more issues by accident,” she instantly made up a new
excuse. At this point, we were just tolerating her.
I took a deep breath and got up from the grass to go inside and drink some water.
I didn’t even realize I was being followed when suddenly a hard grasp around my wrist stunned me. The glass in my hand almost
fell when I turned to look at Shiloh.
“Stop eating what my boyfriend has brought for you,” she hissed, sounding super insane.
“Don’t f*uc*king t*ouch me again,” I shrugged my hand free and glared her in the eye.
“The only reason I have been silent is because I don’t want others to kick you out. The instant you lose my vote, you are out of
here,” I warned her, looking into her eyes and feeling a bit uneasy.
“Oh really? Do you think your mate will kick me out because you will ask him to do so? What makes you think so? He is my mate
as well,” she smirked, but made sure she created a distance between us.
“Oh, really?” The confidence in my tone when questioning her upset her. She lowered her gaze and grunted, “I want to go out for
some fresh air. Who is going to guard me?” She asked as if I were her personal taker.
“Not me, and neither would Akin do it. You want to remain safe until Reign finds out what they were injecting into us to stay put.
Nobody is following you around as your guards,” I was tired of her being mean and rude to me, so I put her in her place. But it
seemed like she already knew what response she would give me if I defied her.
“Does your mate know about you and Helel and the little k*iss you two shared last night?” The shine in her eyes when she
blackmailed me made it apparent she would go to great lengths just to embarrass me.
“Have you ever thought about what will happen when he finds out about it? Do you think he will forgive you for it?” She
whispered, smirking and raising her brow. I was silently listening because I was truly beginning to wonder when to tell Akin about
it.
“He was drunk and k*issed me, but it wasn’t too crazy. I pushed him away, and he too realized what he did was wrong,” I stated
with my eyes on the ground.
“Well, let’s see what Akin will say about it, shall we?” She hissed playfully, mocking me for being in such a position. I would have
never hidden it from Akin had it been something related to me alone. But here, I would jeopardize their brotherly bond for a k*iss
that meant nothing.
“You–,” I pointed my finger at her, and she shook her head, licking her lips and faking being upset.
“You are still raising your voice at me, even when you know what I can do to ruin your perfect relationship?” She kept talking in
utterances, making my skin feel goosebumps.
So, we brought this evil girl in, and she was already threatening and blackmailing us?
“What do you want? We are trying to keep you safe, and you are doing this to us?” I asked since I was curious to know what was
making her act up so badly.
“Huh! I don’t mean to harm anyone else. It’s just you that I don’t like. Your energy makes me anxious. You sound like an
ungrateful princess. You always get whatever you want, and that is so unfair to the others,” she said, shrugging her shoulders as
if her complaints were valid.
“So, in simple words. I make you feel insecure,” I nodded to myself when I understood that much. She took a deep breath and
then forced a smile across her lips.
“From now on, you will listen to me or else Akin will find out that you and Helel k*issed last nigh—,” she had only said it until that
part when we felt someone watching us. Turning to my right, I saw what I feared the most at the moment. Akin stood in his spot,
his eyes focusing on us.
“Opps! I hope you didn’t hear anything,” Shiloh pretended to be cautious, acting like she was feeling bad for me.
“You are blackmailing my mate?” His response seemed to have come to her as something she wasn’t expecting. She stared at
him and then looked my way.
“She k*issed your brother,” Shiloh repeated her statement.
“He was dru—,” before I could explain anything, I found Akin briskly approaching Shiloh and grabbing her by her arm.
“Nobody is allowed to threaten my mate in my mansion,” he bore his eyes into hers, his nails piercing through her skin as he
dragged her towards the exit
