Sharing Beatrice A Luna To Her Stepbrothers By Alexis Dee Chapter 513
Chapter 503 The Treaty
“What?” I inquired and rubbed my hand over my neck. I didn’t even know there was a hickey. That’s not why I had my hair on this side.
Akin cleared his throat but didn’t turn to make it obvious that he didn’t give me the hickey. Helel didn’t show any reaction. In fact, he turned his head to the other side before he led the way into the hallway.
Akin and I followed him, but I noticed that Akin’s hold over my hand wasn’t that strong anymore. It’s me holding his hand most of the time now. Once we entered the room prepared for us, we watched the elders of the council and Zane’s own team sitting there. Huia came after us and sat with Zane.
Our team was on one side of the table, while Zane’s was across from us.
Title of the document I was trying my best not to meet eyes with Zane. He had been sitting in his chair and hadn’t even gotten up to greet any of us.
His f*inger was constantly around his chin, and his head tilted.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
“You wanted to talk,” Huia took the lead, bringing out some papers with some stuff of their own written on them. I assumed that Akin had informed them about the meeting and what it was about, so they came prepared with their demands.
“The chaos you have started needs to end,” Akin straightened his back to start talking.
Sitting among them in an all-white room with Zane only looking my way was so stressful. I was trying my best to look anywhere but at him, but now I noticed that he wasn’t looking away from me.
“I started nothing. At least not yet,” Zane replied, leaning over to one side and putting his l*eg over the other like the ignorant person he was.
“Then I must tell you, the moment you start, we will not hesitate to call war upon you and your ants,” Helel slammed his hand on the table, and everybody gasped.
That made Zane chuckle a little.“You know why you were able to feel the evil in me before anyone else?” Zane asked Helel, stretching his arm out to rest his f*ingertips on the table. He was gently tapping them and making us agitated.
“Because we had more connection, despite me being the twin of Maddox. Every time I get into trouble, I call my muscular brother to come save my a*ss. And you would do that. You always came to my rescue, but then—what stopped you?” Zane raised his eyes from me to dart them at Helel.
“Your brother was succumbing to evilness, and you didn’t even care,” he shrugged, his eyes digging holes through Helel’s.
“That’s enough lies. You told me you never intended to change. Stop trying to manipulate him,” I couldn’t just sit there and let him play with Helel’s emotions like that.
“Or maybe someone came between the brothers. Everything changed after that, though,” Zane calmly commented while looking my way.
My jaw met the floor when he accused me of splitting the brothers in front of everyone. But before I could respond, Akin spoke up.
“Zane! No one here is an idiot. We are not blind to what you are trying to do. Don’t tell me you won’t give up everything if Beatrice pulls her hand out for you to hold. You are only against her right now because she is not yours and she will never be,”
his words were respectful, and his tone was calm. He was able to deliver the right answer to him in the calmest way.
“Hm! Talking about blind! Are you sure you can see things clearly? Because the only one who has been blindfolded all this time is you, my dear brother,” Zane straightened his back in the chair and mumbled with a sad pout covering his l*ips.
A frown appeared on my face when I tried to understand what he meant by that.
“You want us to stay in the west,” thankfully, Huia spoke up, and our eye contact broke.
I was honestly so annoyed with Zane at this point. He was such a bastard for trying to paint me in the wrong light. “Isn’t that where he was supposed to be after receiving the crown for Alpha King?” Helel stated and pushed the papers on the table with terms and conditions written on them.
“Hm, I don’t mind. I think it’s a reasonable point,” Zane, despite being arrogant and professing his desire to take over the whole world, agreed, shocking us at the moment.I let out a sigh of relief secretly, making sure he didn’t see it and change his mind.
“Okay then. If your people came into our land or ours went into yours—the bloodshed would be inevitable,” Helel said while relaxing on the chair. I could tell the brothers were happy that Zane agreed to the terms.
However, I don’t know why we thought it would be this easy.
“I understand. But I’ll need Huia and a driver whenever I come to stay at the mansion,” Zane stated and watched us look baffled.
I share a glance with Akin and Helel before returning to look at Zane.
“I want to add a condition too. You cannot have it your way only,” he murmured, trying to hold in the smirk he wanted to display so badly. What an evil a*sshole.
“You are not allowed in the mansion,” Helel instantly shook his head to make sure he didn’t get his hopes too high. “Why not?
You made a reference to my time as the Alpha King and how I would have shifted to the West. So, with that in mind, I would have been allowed to return home. I am not going to stick there for nothing,” Zane sounded aggressive this time when explaining to us his side.
This is what we didn’t want. Bringing him into the mansion with Huia means letting a devil and his pawn come over to ruin everyone’s peace.
“If that’s the case, then forget about the treaty,” Helel slammed his hand once again on the table, and Zane let out a loud laugh.
“You are so aggressive. Aren’t you a father now? Shouldn’t you have grown some patience now that you have a little daughter to take care of?” Zane hunched over the table to intimidate him.
Helel was about to get up when Akin held his hand and sat him down. “Why do you care, anyway? You are destruction in your own self. As for your entry into the mansion, fine,” Akin nodded.
