Chapter 524 Protecting Our Partner (Akin Spade)
“Wait, what about Beatrice’s pregnancy?” Reign intervened just as he was about to hang up. I remained silent before taking a deep breath and closing my eyes.
“I can still accept her and the baby. It’s not as if he did it with his will,” I murmured without hesitation.
However, it was strange because I didn’t see any signs of pregnancy.
“Mmm! That’s so weird. She was on her period just a few days ago,” Reign slipped that information and something lit up inside me.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
There was so much we needed to find out, and it was all related to the magic Zane had cast at Beatrice.
“Do one thing: If my calculations are correct and the kind of magic they used on Beatrice is blood, then we must not separate Beatrice from Zane for now. I know it will be hard for us, but magic makes her hate and love us. Do it for your own health and improvement. We let her stay with him and stay away from us. The more he resists and tries to get closer to us, the weaker he becomes. She must not fight that dark magic alone. Try to convince Helel to push her away,” although what Reign said was extremely annoying, she was not wrong.
His health and his life were much more important than we wanted.
I called Helel shortly after hanging up Reign and told her to push Beatrice away.
“Wait, do you want me to hurt her?” Helel sounded unsure of the plan. I couldn’t tell her everything, so I just told her to push her away.
“Yes,” I replied, still wandering around the door.
“I see. Is it because you think she might be falling in love with me? Or is it because you want to break the bond between us once and for all? Helel became depressed to realize that there was a possibility that Reign could magically break their bond, as rejection hadn’t worked.
“I don’t have time to tell you everything now. I only know that it is for your safety. Her life is in danger and if you want her to do well, you will take her away,” I explained without giving her much.
“Hmm, okay,” he knew he would agree the instant he realized it was for Beatrice’s safety.And don’t worry. I will do the same,” I let him know.
“Well! But once you’re back, I want to know everything in detail. I head to the kitchen; I might trip over it. I will use the hickey as an excuse to push her away,” he announced before cutting off the call.
Now he had to convince Zane that he had surpassed Beatrice. I must find that weapon to use against Zane somehow.
Once I returned to the mansion, I found Zane waiting for me in the living room impatiently. You could tell he was anxiously awaiting my decision.
“I’m sorry I hurt you, but I had to be honest with you since she herself refused to tell you anything,” he muttered, looking at me intently.
“I don’t care anymore,” I said, clenching my jaw. “I will give him one last chance to tell me the truth. Try not to smile.
“I’ll wait patiently,” he sounded so happy inside. It irritated me to see him so happy with himself after he had hypnotized her into letting him touch her.
What a disgusting man.
It was at that moment that I realized that a treaty was not an option. We need to punish him for all the sins he has committed before he ruins everything for us.
I left the mansion to talk to Beatrice. In better words, to turn off an act. I couldn’t even look at her all this time because of how guilty I felt about not being able to keep her safe from this horror. Every time I lifted my head and saw her look at me with her big eyes, I felt like hugging her.
She must be so devastated inside her body, unable to express her emotions. It all made sense now. I knew from the first moment that she would never leave me. After I told Helel what was going on, she was shocked, but quickly understood that I was doing everything I could to push her away.
Once we returned to the mansion with Beatrice following us, I decided to take Helel aside and talk to him.
“I’ll kill him, it. How dare he touch her! How dare he control her? Helel was already losing her mind, so after hearing what Zane did to Beatrice, she became uncontrollable.
“We must remain calm or now. I’m sure Beatrice didn’t hurt Gwen,” I said, and Helel rolled her eyes.“Of course he didn’t,” he expressed his frustration towards Zane by sighing heavily.
“Listen—Zane plans to take it away from us. But this is where we must act quickly. She will have every opportunity to take her away now that she is pregnant and can’t say she wants to live here. And we’re going to prevent that from happening. So here’s what we’re going to do, we’re going to use Gwen’s murder and accuse Beatrice of it so that she stays in the pack while I deal with the filth that’s been causing this whole mess. I returned with determination as I knew what exactly needed to be done to break this bond of slavery between all the victims and their supposed masters.
“I’ll stay here to keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn’t hurt her or touch her against her will,” Helel growled angrily, causing her to keep staring at his face.
He really loved Beatrice, and I don’t think he can ever get away from her. It’s not easy to share with someone, but what if they’re meant to be together?
