Sharing Beatrice A Luna to her Stepbrothers

Chapter 74

74-An Open Relationship

“What the heck are you up to now?” he grunted, placing his hands on his waist and keeping his gaze intact on my face. I looked beside him and found Akin staring at me in confu- sion. The two had blocked my way to Gwen’s room. They were making me seem like a monster by protecting her from me, and it irked me.

“I need to speak to her,” I muttered, watching them shake their heads at me. “What is that supposed to mean?” I asked once when their expressions angered me.

“Why do you wish to speak to her?” Helel questioned. I noticed he was the only one asking me all these questions at the moment. Probably because he had seen me go crazy the other night when I wanted to destroy her room.

“She stole my diary,” I said, raising my voice, and that compelled Akin to point his finger at me before he could even say anything.

“Don’t raise your voice. She is resting,” he said, and Helel bit the inside of his cheek. It was a pleasure to know at least one of them knew I didn’t like it when they showed too much care for her. My sarcasm would eventually kill me.

“She is not a princess, whose rest should be my concern.” I retorted, and Akin had to close his eyes and open them again to make sure he heard me correctly. I haven’t shown my true nature to him as yet. So it was definitely a little shocking for him to hear me argue at full strength.

“Bea—,” Helel paused when acknowledging his brother’s presence. “Trice!” he added and secretly scratched his tem- ples in guilt. “What is it about this time?” He then proceeded to posture straight again and ask me.

“I just told you guys, she stole my diary,” I repeated my- self, but the look they were giving me was not nice at all. They didn’t believe me.

“You guys don’t believe me, do you?” I frowned, staring at them one by one. That’s when the main door opened, and in came Maddox and Zane, gossiping about some football match until their eyes landed on us and silence took over them.

“What is going on here?” Maddox asked, passing me a quick glance.

“We need to have a talk,” Helel declared after a few sec- ond’s pause. I bet even Akin didn’t know what he was going to talk about.

“Beatrice! Go back to your room. We will come there to have a word with you after we are done discussing some things.” Helel turned to me and asked me to follow his com- mands. I shook my head stubbornly and pointed at Gwen’s door. I didn’t come downstairs to hear their commands. I needed my diary back from Gwen.

“Do you want us to talk to you about the mate bond or not?” Helel hunched over, his hands on his knees, as he de- manded to know it from me. My anger withered away when I heard about the topic of interest.

I wanted my diary, but there was no way they would let me disturb her sleep now that she had returned from the hos- pital and was heavily drugged.

“Fine,” I answered, jumping off the couch. I noticed the way Helel flinched when watching me get out of the couch. de must have thought I would make another attempt to get into Gwen’s room.

about why he asked his brother to have a talk about the mate bond.

“What if they collectively reject me? But they can’t do that,” I sighed when remembering I cannot be rejected, “Then what are they planning to do?” I questioned as I sat down on the bed and waited for them to come.

The anxiety level in my body was rising beyond my ac- knowledgment. I was chewing on my nails and staring at the door curiously. And then they finally knocked on the door.

“Come in,” I answered, and the brothers opened the door. Helel was the one leading his brothers today. It would usually be Akin, but today he looked a little dull and in a bad mood.

I wondered what they discussed.

“Maddox!” Helel called his name, and Maddox understood what he was supposed to do. He closed the door after they have walked into the room and eyed me to sit down in the bed. I hesitantly listened to them as they stood around the bed. Helel and Akin in front, Maddox and Zane to my left and right.

“So! We discussed a few things, including your rage from the other night, when you basically wanted to burn the whole mansion down,” Helel started off by reminding me of that night. I am certain he didn’t tell them anything about our sex- ual adventures.

“Since you cannot be rejected and the mate bond cannot be ignored, we want to know directly from you what you want?” Helel proceeded to ask, making me look around and stare at them one by one.

I had only cleared my throat when Helel added once again, and this time; he left me speechless.

“I told them about your proposition.” His words compelled me to zip my lips in a tight line and express confusion.

“That you don’t expect us to stick with you. You told me you were okay with just being— in an open relationship with. us. I know it sounds a bit icky because— you were introduced to us as our future

stepsister but-we all know that doesn’t matter anymore since you are mates with us. But the fact that you are mates with all of us, the concept of monogamy is al- ready out the window. And since you two expressed your de- sire to be okay with whoever we date as long as we take care of you, we brothers gave it some thought. But we still want to give you a chance to back down whenever you feel like it,” Helel continued to talk with a weird look of embarrassment on his face. I bet it wasn’t easy for him to talk about things like that in front of his brother so openly. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Now the eyes were stuck on me, and I had to make a decision.
