Sharing Beatrice A Luna To Her Stepbrothers by Alexis Dee novel Chapter 118

118-Cover That Booty

“Where did he come from?” Akin asked with his arms fold- ed over his chest and his eyes scanning Colt in the bed. Helel had laid Colt down in one of the guestrooms while the others were occupied by Gwen and the two sisters.

“He is a rogue,” I answered, nervously rubbing my palms together and worried he will continue investigating.

“And a mutual friend,” Helel added, as he knew being only my friend wouldn’t spare Colt from getting questioned.

“Okay!” Akin said, nodding a little. “You should rest now. You have been up and running whole d—what happened to your face?” Akin broke his composed posture as he narrowed his eyes in my face and stared at the black eye.

“Some rogues were fighting with him, and they acciden- tally hit me,” I lied, making Akin raise his eyebrow at me.

“Don’t worry, I took care of them.” Helel saved me once again. Helel knew his brother would not question him.

“Apply something to it,” Akin whispered as we walked out of the room and I sprinted upstairs. I didn’t want to stay be- hind and get into an argument with anyone else. Just as I was about to enter my room, I found Maddox and Zane in the hall- way, waiting for me.

“Who is he?” Maddox asked, a frown visible on his face.

“Do I have to write it on his forehead that he is my friend?” I asked with a sigh. I swear they have asked me this same question many times before.

“He is a rogue, you said. I would like to do some research on him myself,” Zane smirked from behind Maddox. I have noticed that shaking Zane’s composed posture was a bit harder. He would always act entirely different from the others.

“As it pleases you!” I answered, forcing a neutral reaction.

Once I was in my bedroom, I started going through the book again to see if I could find anything regarding what they injected in Colt, but that’s exactly when the knocking on the door began. I assumed it must be Helel but after I hid the book and got out, I watched not only Helel but Dream too. She was headed to Maddox’s room, looking a little sad.

I heard something from Maddox about how he didn’t want her to stay in his room, but that was gossip for later. Helel walked into the room and awkwardly stood in the corner as I closed the door.

“We could have had this conversation downstairs.” I commented.

“Why? Standing in the same room as me is that terrible of an idea for you now?” He asked while stealing his eyes from me but looking stubborn as hell.

“So I am assuming you already have something in mind?”

Helel calmed down and narrowed his eyes in my face as I bulled the page out of my bag and handed it over to him.

“See this! Whatever it is, it is the weapon,” I claimed, watching him turn the page and try to understand something.

“Where did you get this from? This book was supposed to stay in the—,” he was yammering when I shut him up.

“In the basement, blah blah blah. This book needs to be read instead of thrown into a box.” I snatched the page out of his hand a bit roughly for not paying attention to the severity of this situation and the focus of the theft.

“Fine. Let’s say we do get the weapon, but, as you said, she will try to fight back. Then what?” He asked, and I cleared my throat to tell him the next part of my plan.

“Remember that trip to the mountains?” I asked, and he frowned first and then nodded.

“It will be your job to invite all the brothers along with Gwen on that trip. The mountains are a perfect place for this mission.” I watched his jaw hit the floor after I told him my plan.
