33-Easily Fooled
Beatrice’s POV:
The last thing I remember was Zane walking my way before I passed out completely.
I woke up feeling lightheaded in my bed. The storm seemed to have calmed down, but it was still raining outside.
“You are messing up again,” Helel complained as he tried adjusting the hooks of the curtain and Zane pulled it from the other side.
“I’m not fucking up, Akin is taking his sweet time giving me hooks,” Zane growled, blaming Akin, who I hadn’t seen until he got up from the floor and stood straight.
“Hey! Don’t blame me. I was—oh hey, you woke up,” Akin stopped talking when his eyes landed on me.
Everybody else looked my way. Helel jumped off the stool while Zane dropped the curtain to gather around me.
“How are you feeling now?” Helel asked, his eyes doing a quick scan of me as I rubbed my knee.
“I think you hurt it somewhere. I have cleaned the wound for you,” Helel said, pointing at my elbow.
“I think she still has a fever,” Akin stated while getting into bed to only place his hand on my forehead. My body shivered at his touch.
“It’s okay. She will be fine in a few days. We will take care of her,” Helel mumbled.
I was surprised that the brothers were taking care of me instead of yelling at me and asking me how I managed to create a mate bond with them.
“We were trying to put up the curtains so that you don’t have to worry about the light and privacy, but this dumbass–,” Helel slapped Zane’s head and complained, “He wasn’t able to work properly and then kept making noises and woke you up,” he added, and Zane rolled his eyes at his brother.
“Okay! How about we get you something to eat first?” Akin asked, and I nodded absentmindedly.
As the two brothers walked out of the room, I lowered my face to shake my head and wake up, as if I was dreaming. When did they become so nice to me?
“Beatrice!” It was time Zane cleared his throat and walked closer to my bed.
“I know you must be angry at me, but I have a good reason for acting stupidly. I’ll talk to you about it later.” He seemed to be in a rush and ran out of the room like something was chasing him.
“What happened to them?” I asked myself in confusion. It was as if they saw me sick and their attitude toward me changed.
I didn’t mind. I was more than happy that they were so nice to me. A weak smile covered my lips as I stared at the curtain.
I don’t know what happened to Maddox, but his thought wiped the smile off my lips. It hurt me so much that he rejected me.
Just when I thought he would be gone, I found him standing outside my room, but the ego and anger that used to be on his face were now gone.
“I didn’t think through my actions,” he whispered, his hands in his pockets and his face down.
“I know there’s no excuse for my behavior, but I was seriously high on something and acted out of my mind,” he said, probably expecting me to respond, but I didn’t. I was so upset with him that I didn’t feel like talking to him at that moment.
“I’ll be downstairs with my brothers. Let me know if you need anything,” he said, but when he didn’t get a response from me, he walked out of my sigh.
I let go of the breath I was holding in after he left. He had actually scared me enough to not mess with him.
After staying in bed for another minute, I began to feel a little weird. The area between my shoulders started to ache a lot, reminding me of that day when I didn’t take the medicine and started acting up on the road and Zane had to come to take me home.
“Wait! I didn’t take my pills.” It was only then that I realized I hadn’t taken my pills. That’s why I started feeling weird. Even when it was raining and cold outside, I felt pretty warm inside.
I hesitantly got out of bed and frantically looked for my pills. Once I couldn’t find them in my room, I ran out to look for any of the brothers and asked him for my pills.
I couldn’t understand why they would steal my pills again. What the fuck is wrong with these people? The moment I was heading downstairs and had reached the kitchen, I heard them talk.
“Keep her pills safe. She will need them soon.” It was Akin. So he took away my pills. Why?
I didn’t show up instantly because I wanted to hear what they were talking about.
“But she will look for her pills soon. What then?” It upset me when I heard Helel talking about my pills and knowing that his brother took them away.
“We have to keep the pills away,” Akin responded to Helel’s concerns.
“And what then?” It was Zane who spoke up this time. They were all in the kitchen, talking about me. They hid my pills for whatever reason, and I thought they were being genuinely nice to me.
“We talked about it earlier. But anyway, you guys will one by one reject her,” Akin stated, and my heart dropped in my chest.
“I ready to do it,” Helel didn’t even waste a second before agreeing to reject me. I was stunned by how easy it was for them to reject me.
“I’m fine with it, too,” Zane said, and my jaw almost touched the floor.
“And I thought you guys finally cared.” I couldn’t hold back
anymore and came out from behind the wall. They shared a shocked glance before their eyes traveled to my face.
“You are going to reject me?” I asked them, looking at Helel and then at Zane. The fucked up thing was that they didn’t look sad about the fact that they were going to reject their fated mate.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
