Chapter 560
Sharing Beatrice A Luna To Her Stepbrothers by Alexis Dee Book 2
Chapter 550 My Last Scale! (Beatrice Dismay)
"Why can't she see that Zane mistreats her, no matter how much she gives him?" Colt complained, still rubbing his hand over his wounds.
I was stunned at what had happened in the end. Her teary eyes softened my heart, but in the back of my head, I was still angry at everyone who became the reason that I lost Akin.
"Beatrice! Are you alright?" Helel must have noticed that I haven't said a word since she was taken away by Zane. "She knows," I mumbled. "She finally knows that she has been chasing after someone who doesn't value her."
"Then why won't she leave his side and not help him?" Colt shook his head, as he didn't agree with me.

"She might do," I uttered, and I closely opened my palm, revealing the keys she slid into my hand secretly when she approached too close to my cage. "Are these?" Helel asked in bewilderment, and with a single head nod, I answered him. Heel and Colt were shocked to see it They shared a deep glance before the two rushed to the side, where they could be closer to my cage.
"What is the plan?" Colt asked excitedly.
"Find where they are keeping Akin's-body," I had to close my eyes to even mention him as dead.
"I understand," Helel sounded at ease after hearing my plan.
"I'll find Reign, and then-I need to do something. You two look for Akin's body, make sure it is not decomposing quickly. As for Evelyn and Shiloh, once I find Reign, I'll head to find those two," I ordered as the two paid full attention.
I could look at them and tell they believed in me. So, when everyone was starting to get too comfortable in the lair, I unlocked my cage and walked out.
Thankfully, the people from hell were too busy exploring antiques. By the time they were stealing stuff, I had opened the cages for Helel and Colt.
The two walked out while Colt almost limped.
I know it won't be long before someone will spot these empty cages or that Zane will return to have a word with me. Since he just took Maura away, I was guessing we had some time to spare.
"Beatrice!" just before I was leaving, Helel voiced, holding my hand.
"Please take care," he whispered, making me nod at him.
Once we parted, I began to hide around corners to spot the men in black and follow them. One of them must be taking care of Reign.
Once I spotted Jay, something turned inside me. I was angry to see him walk around fine. He was supposed to be dead after killing and hurting so many innocent lives.
Taking a deep breath, I followed him until he was alone.
"I am guessing nobody will find out if I do it with her," he spoke under his breath, reaching a door and slowly opening it. I knew he was horny to fuck anyone, but whoever was inside had probably no idea of his intentions.
I instantly reached the door, and before he could lock it, I stormed inside. He got pushed back by the force, and his eyes expressed the horror he was facing from seeing me in front of him.
"How-," he paused when I lunged at him. I clawed him from the neck down before I saw a glimpse of who was in the bed. This a*sshole wanted to rape Reign while she was passed out.
"Listen-I can help you-," he began to use his last breath to offer me a deal.
"Yeah, help me, just die!" I muttered and shoved my hand on his chest, clutching his heart and pulling it out. If only I had done it before, many of our warriors would still be alive.
I quickly approached Reign in bed and saw the anti-magic chains around her wrist. Quickly taking them off, I started patting my hand on her cheek to wake her up.
"Reign!" I repeated the process until her eyelids moved and she steadily opened her eyes.
"Beatrice!" She jumped into bed and held my hands. "Colt-," I understand that her last memory of being awake was seeing Colt in pain.
"Hey, he is fine. He Is with Helel right now. They are looking for Ak-in's dead body," it took me my whole strength to say that.
Her eyes widened at the news, and without any delay, she hugged me tightly.
"We must do it, Reign," as I said that, she broke the hug and stared at my face.
"I have to use my scale," I mumbled, watching her with tears in my eyes. "But you know what it means, right?" she uttered.
"I don't care if I'm not that powerful anymore. I just want my Akin alive," I insisted, holding her hands and trying hard not to cry. I don't need to cry for someone who is not dead. He will come back for me. I'll make sure of it. "Okay! Let's go then," Reign knew time was flying quickly. So she jumped out of the bed and ran out of the room with me.
We sneaked out of the mansion instead of sticking around.
I know I skipped this part of telling Helel and Colt, but this was the most important part that I wanted to do perfectly.
'Once we lose our second scale, we will no longer be as powerful and have healing abilities as before,' Ace reminded me one last time as I reached the mountains.
I know she wasn't against the idea, but she just wanted to inform me and do her duty.
"If Akin is not in my life and I've got a thousand scales, I'll be miserable as f*uck," I uttered, taking off my pendant and letting Ace take over.
As the transition began, Reign prepared herself to detach the last scale from my body without causing me too much pain.
As my limbs grew and my body transitioned, I bowed down in front of Reign so that she could come closer and do the job. When she grabbed my scale, my body shuddered, but I tried not to show it.
There was no time for me to focus on my own pain. Once she plucked it off me, I dropped to the ground in pain. "Oh, no! Are you okay?" Reign instantly started running her hands over my scaly body to comfort me.
With just a blink of an eye, I informed her that Ace and I were fine. It took at least five minutes to transform back because of the weakness I began to feel almost immediately.
"Hear, wear this," Reign gave me the dress she had collected from the closet before leaving.
It was a red silk dress without any undergarments. Those things were not my priorities at the moment. I had to return to the mansion and find the others.
"Listen!" Once we had arrived at the mansion, I held Reign's hand and stopped her from walking ahead of me. "You go ahead and save him," I mumbled, stealing eyes from her. I wouldn't be able to see him dead.
"Don't worry, I'll do my best job," since Reign could use her magic to keep herself and the scale safe and even make sure the process was quick, I decided to leave her with the responsibility.
I had to find Shiloh and Evelyn myself.
As I was running towards the hallway on the second floor, I spotted Colt with Shiloh.
"Did you find Reign?" Colt asked, looking behind me.
"I was sensing the energy from here," I didn't know Reign was coming right behind me.
"Colt," she saw him and threw her arms around his neck, kissing him hard enough for me to pull her back from him.
"We don't have time for all this," I told her, scanning Shiloh quickly to make sure she was fine.
"We don't know where Evelyn is," Shiloh uttered. She looked very weak.
"Where is Helel?" I then asked Colt because he was on duty finding Akin.
"He is in the basement. That's where they have kept his body," Colt informed. "By the way, I think something happened. Everybody is running towards that one room where I'm guessing Zane is staying," Colt added the extra information.
It alarmed us into thinking maybe he was finally making a plan to end everyone else's lives.
"Then we better hurry up," I said. "You guys go find Helel and Reign. You do the job. I'll look for Evelyn," I patted her back, and despite the fact that Colt kept looking at me in confusion and wondering what job I had given to Reign, I walked away from them.
