Chapter 558Sharing Beatrice A Luna To Her Stepbrothers by Alexis Dee Book 2
Chapter 548 In His Cage (Beatrice Dismay)
I had passed out after receiving the news of Akin’s death. My brain didn’t want me to go through it, so it shut down for some time.
However, I woke up having a panic attack. It was as if I wanted to go back in time and stop all this by killing Zane when I had a
chance.
When he was in the cabin with me.
If only I knew what he was, I would have ended him right then and there.
But sadly, it was too late. We let the devil walk around freely, and now we have lost everyone that we held dear.

“Beatrice!” Helel called for me from the cage next to mine.
“Why are you calling for me? Everything is over now,” I said, resting my head against the bars and
staring into space. My eyes would form tears, blurring my vision, and then when they passed, my sight
would turn clearer.
“You think I am not affected by this news? He was my twin; he was—my brother. But we must
remember that he died saving everyone. We cannot let his death go in vain. Besides, I have no idea
where my daughter is,” as he spoke in a broken utter. I shook my head and started sobbing loudly this
time.
“It is okay. Just let them fall. Because we still have to fight for our people and our family,” Helel was
talking in utters while I was crying. I wish he was in this cage with me. I needed a shoulder so bad.“Hey!” he then pulled his hand out and held it for me. “I promise to take revenge for what he has done.
We are not letting him walk around alive after this.”
All the promises sounded too sweet, but would they be able to bring Akin back?
I stared at his hand, and as I was about to promise back, we saw Colt being dragged and dumped in
the cage in front of ours.
Reign was nowhere to be found, and Shiloh was missing too. We never knew the war would go against
us so badly. “I will f*ucking kill him,” I said determinedly, but it was just all talk. We were stuck, and
everyone we had ever loved was now in Zane’s cage.
“He must have been so —upset,” I didn’ t know what the right word could be for how Akin must have
felt when he got stabbed by his own brother.
“He was missin—g you,” Colt began to wake up, throwing up blood.
“Colt! Are you okay?’ I held the bars and shook them angrily, feeling the burn from the iron.
“He was talking about you —he wanted you to move on with Helel—the way Colt was delivering words
without a break was a sad notion to how he was worried he might not get a chance to tell me about his
last words.
The fact that he chose to wish a good life upon me, even when he knew it wouldn’t be with him,
showed the difference between him and Zane. But I don’t know how he thought I’d be able to live a life
that he isn’t a part of. “I can’t believe he is gone,” I covered my face in my hands and started crying
once again.
“Colt! Where is Evelyn? What did he do to her?” Helel slid closer to the edge of the cage, watching Colt
with his eyes wide open.“I don’t kn—ow. I just know that Evelyn and Shiloh’s baby are his next target,” Colt coughed, gently
rubbing his chest. “He wants to end the line of saviors,” Colt’s statement made me think of Reign’s
words. She told me Shiloh’s daughter would be special. Does that mean she is in the next line of
saviors? “Where is Reign?” Colt uttered it, his eyes spilling tears.
It was bizarre how we were sitting here helplessly while our loved ones were getting tortured
somewhere.
“We don’t know. We d—, Helel stopped talking as his eyes focused on someone coming our way.
“What are you here to see now?” he yelled as he gripped the bars tightly. I followed his gaze to see
Maura standing before us. She was wearing a long black dress with her hair in a loose braid.
“I didn’t know—,” she started talking but ended up crying.
“You didn’t know how a war works? You knew exactly what you were doing when you kept bringing the dead werewolves back to
life. You knew somebody would win, and the losing party would lose their loved ones and their lives,” I screamed at her, watching
her cover her face in her hands.
Her guilt wouldn’t bring Akin back. “I was told you all wanted to kill him because he was fed to your brother when he was merely a
child,” she whispered after calming herself down and forcing a composed posture. “And you believed it,” I shook my head at her in
disbelief.
“The war was never about him. It was about Beatrice. He killed Maddox because, in his twisted mind, the more he kills his loved
ones, the stronger he gets. And the stronger he gets, the more chances he has to kill Beatrice’s mates and be with her,” Helel
clenched his jaw as he explained the truth to the silly, gullible girl before our eyes.
“He didn’t kill Maddox; it was a—-self- defense,” she began to stutter once the revelation of her lover’s truth became apparent to
her.“Maybe someday ask him who his first kill and food were with his signature move,” Colt mentioned, making her tremble at his
words.
“He—,” she said, taking a deep breath before silence consumed her. She rushed near my cage and held the bars before holding
my hands tightly. “Tell me you are lying,” she insisted.
I didn’t feel bad for her. She brought this on herself. She was fighting for someone who was using her to get something else.
Instead of meeting her and hugging her for escaping death, I had to face her with the realization that if she hadn’t been on his side,
Akin would have been alive right now.
That’s when she had to step back when Zane arrived and grabbed her by her arm to pull her away from me.
