Chapter 480
Chapter 470-Sharing Is Caring
This would be the first time that I didn't stop Akin.I was also a bit confused about what I was going to say to him.He must be so
upset to have found out about it from someone else.He was dragging her mercilessly, not caring if she was tripping or hurting
herself.
"Please! I was just trying to be loyal to you.I didn't like how she was--,"
Shiloh made one last attempt to call me out for something I didn’t do when Akin threw her on the road and hunched over her.
"Still?" he asked, his voice turning heavier.
"You are lucky it is her.If it was someone else, she would have wanted you dead.She brought you in, and this is how you are
repaying her? you owe me no loyalty, so don't fucking interrupt my life and get the fuck out of here," he screamed, making her
gulp and crawl away.
Jay had run out to quickly cover her by hugging her, but she slapped his hand to free herself and steadily got up from the
spot.The others also came out when they heard all the commotion.
Reign stood beside me, gently rubbing my back, whereas Helel was confused by what was going on.
"Oh! you all don’t know what is going on?"
Shiloh yelled so that even Gwen, who had come out holding Colt’s hand, could hear her.
"I found Helel and Beatrice kissing last night," despite being warned by Akin so many times, she yet again made one last attempt
and ruined everything.
However, nobody showed an intense reaction.I knew they didn't want me to feel embarrassed, and that kind of made me realize
how much they trust me.
While she stared at Helel, who was finally recalling the night's incident, Akin came forward, and for the first time, raised his hand
at someone like this.He slapped her hard enough that she tripped and only survived because Jay held her in his arms.
Everybody went silent.It was very unusual to do such a thing.He stared into her eyes and then pointed his finger from afar.
At that moment, I realized he was upset about the kiss and wanted to take his anger out on someone.I felt more upset and
insecure now.I would be up for a great explanation.
"I am so sorry, your highness.I will take her away now,"
Jay instantly wrapped his arms around her and started pulling her away from usShe seemed to have zoned out.
Not once did she raise her head to look at us.
Once they were out of our sight, I turned to Akin, who didn’t sav a word, and sprinted away.
"Hey, give him some time,"
Reign was quick enough to hold my hand and stop me from chasing after Akin.
"He needs to calm down first," she insisted, not letting me walk after him.
"I think we should go inside," Colt voiced loudly so that we would look his way.
It was his way of getting our attention to Gwen, who hadn't said a word this whole time.
While thinking about Akin and how he must be feeling, I completely forgot about her.She would be even more upset.I am sure
she had some inkling that once she gives birth, her and Helel’s chances of being together will be great.We nodded and strolled
into the mansion, where we sat her down on the soft couch in the garden.
"Colt--- can you please come with me for a minute?"
Reign got up and eyed him, telling him to follow her.I know she wanted us to resolve this matter before it slipped out of our
hands.I believe it already has.
Now that there were only three of us left, I struggled to talk.
How would I tell her that it wasn't my mate but her baby daddy's? So I remained silent.
"When I lost my vision---I felt like I had lost everything," she was the one who started talking first.
"I felt helpless and useless.In fact, it was my baby that scared me.How would I take care of my child when I cannot even see the
world or danger lurking around her?" She continued to murmur.
"I felt maybe I would somehow become a burden.You know---Helel never invited me to his cabin.I used to go there, and he would
kick me out.Then one day, it just happened.He was in pain, and nobody was letting him get into the cabin to ease his pain.He
was almost an outcast.He only lived for you.He was desperately waiting for you to wake up and be with him.I am so sorry that I
became the reason the biggest happiness was taken away from him,"she whispered through quivering lips, taking all the blame.
"Hey---I---," I held her hand, but she hushed me.
"No! please let me talk today," she insisted, and I shut up.
Helel was sitting on the grass with his knees pulled close to his chest and his arms wrapped around them.I wonder if he was
even listening to us because he didn’t raise his head at all.
"I was worried what would become of my child if I died in childbirth--."
As soon as she expressed her fear of death, 1 held her hand and interrupted her.
"Don't say that," I argued.
Even Helel lifted his head and stared at her sadly.
"But that’s the truth.Every mother fears it, and for me, it is more likely to happen.However, I am not really scared about my
death.I have died once," she let out a little laugh before tears streamed down her eyes.
"I was worried about my baby, but then I heard what happened last night---and a new ray of hope shone through me," her
proceeding statement shocked me.
I steadily pulled away from her but kept staring at her face in shock.
"If only you two get together—you can become such a great parent to my baby," her voice was filled with enthusiasm as she
suggested that.
I vigorously shook my head while I noticed Helel watching me.
Was he really expecting me to agree with it?” I already have a mate, and I love him,"
I blurted out a little too loudly, feeling offended by Akin.
"They can share you, Beatrice!"Her statement came as a big surprise to me because Helel seemed to have gone lost in his
thoughts, as if he were already considering It.
