Chapter 167
Beatrice's POV:
It had been super awkward sharing a ride with Zane and Flynn.
I could tell Zane didn't want to sit in the same car as Flynn, but he only stayed because I was in the car and he didn't want to leave me alone with him.
Once we reached the school, Zane held the door open for me while Flynn opened the other side door.
I rolled my eyes at Flynn's attempts and accepted Zane's offer.
However, Zane wasn't displaying any emotions of victory or anything. He had a very blunt face, and his tongue was tied.
I was concerned that it was the calm before the storm.
"Where are you headed? We have to send out invitations." Flynn watched me walk away and instantly rushed in my direction. Zane, who was leading me, slowed down and eventually stopped. He turned around to look at us.
"I don't have any friends," I muttered, trying to walk past Flynn.
"Or you are afraid to call us your brothers?" Flynn smirked, his eyes taunting me.
"Flynn!" Zane walked back to us, heaving heavy breaths and clenching his jaw. He was so tall that he was able to tower over us both.
"Stop bothering her," Zane muttered, once again lacking any expression except for the secret clenching of his jaw.
"We used to bother her together, remember?" Flynn laughed a little, making Zane stretch his neck.
"I said, don't bother her," he didn't even add anything else. Flynn's smirk faded as he stepped back, and Zane held my wrist between his long, strong fingers and walked me behind him.
Once we reached the hallway, he finally set my wrist free but kept walking in the direction of the lockers.
"Thank you for sticking up for me," I said, briskly walking after him.
"Did I make your heart flutter?" He finally stopped and turned around with a smirk on his lips. The expressions were back on his face, but my raised eyebrow made him roll his eyes and mumble, "If not, then I failed."
He started grabbing stuff from his locker while I stood beside him.
"You know I'm with your brother now, right?" I asked, as his flirting made me think he probably thought we had broken up already.
"I understand," he shrugged.
"Oh! Don't tell me you are still sticking to 'sharing me' thingy. It is long over." I stated that, but the little scoff and smirk from him. made me question him.
"I'm not," he shook his head, "You can date anyone you want but mark my word," he had to hunch over way down in order to look me in the eye, "in the end, you are going to be mine only," the seriousness of his tone gave me chills down my spine.
I tried to laugh and make it seem like I got his joke, but when he didn't change his expression, I went expressionless.
"Enjoy whoever you are with for now. Because when you are finally a mine, I will not let anyone have an eye on you," he added, his eyes traveling to my lips. He gulped when he saw my lips, then
straightened his back to finish grabbing his books and slamming his locker shut.
His words shocked me.
He had walked away while I was left behind in confusion. Ever since I started going out with Maddox, Helel has stopped showing me that he wants me, even when deep inside he still does. But out of respect for his brother, he was not saying anything. As for Zane, he made it clear he didn't give a damn who got me now.
As I turned around, I watched Mariah stand behind me with her eyebrow raised.
"What were you two talking about?" she asked, her arms folded over her chest.
"Go ask him," I said, giving her an attitude.
"Beatrice! Don't try to get on my wrong side. I'm asking you nicely to stay the fuck away from him--," she hadn't finished threatening me when I intervened with her.
"Or else what?" I asked, stepping closer to her.
"Oh, trust me; you don't want to know what I can do to get what belongs to me." She took a step closer this time. We came face to face without much space between us.
"Oh! I know what you can do." I let out a little chuckle to annoy her. The surrounding students were beginning to take an interest in our conversation because they knew Mariah wouldn't talk to anyone unless she was planning to make fun of them.
"You will sleep with his friends or even fa--," as I reminded her I know she was a big ass cheater, she grunted and raised her hand at me. However, she couldn't hit me.
I held her hand tightly and pulled her closer. She was shocked when she almost tripped and reached closer.
"Don't do that," I warned her. "last time I bit you, this time I will fucking rip our arm off your shoulder." My deep glare into her eyes and my threatening voice made everyone whisper and talk about us.
Mariah awkwardly looked around and freed her arm from my grasp. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
"I'll see you," she muttered under a clenched jaw and sped out of my sight. Everybody else was watching me as if I were a monster.
The fact that I didn't even have a wolf and yet I was threatening dangerous creatures proved my courage.
Sadly, I didn't get a chance to celebrate when my phone beeped and I received a video from an unknown caller ID.
I opened the message and played the video to find horror.
It was the video of Maddox and me in the garden from last night.
But that wasn't what concerned me. It was particularly the timestamp mentioned in the title that caught my eye.
It was right when Maddox admitted to have been helping and hiding a weredragon.
Before I could even let out a gasp, another message popped up.
Unknown: Seems like somebody has been breaking the law. Alpha King Maddox is a bad example of a leader.
