Chapter 436 Brother-You Love Me, Right? (Maddox Spade)
Instead of continuing with the idea of meeting Helel, we decided to first be done with the other issues. Itwas pretty apparent at this point that Helel and Gwen were calling me for a certain conspiracy. Theywould attack Zane when he was left all alone. And because Zane is just an alpha king and not someextra powerful creature like Helel, he will stand no chance in front of him.
“Did you pick up everything?” I asked Zane, and he nodded weakly. I have noticed a change in hisattitude. The always smirky Zane was no longer there.
Ever since he heard what his brother was planning for him, he had gone completely silent. He wouldconstantly ask me what I and Akin thought about him. I didn’t like the way Gwen had manipulatedHelel, and I feared she would do worse once she met Beatrice again.
It was pretty obvious that she was jealous of Beatrice. When Gwen first arrived here, she wantedattention for herself, and she was getting it until we all began to fall for Beatrice.
“Yeah, let’s go,” Zane mumbled as he stood in his spot to look around the mansion.
“Hey, we are getting late,” I gently patted his shoulder but noticed the tears in his eyes.
“Let me see everything for one last time,” he mumbled, almost like he was requesting.
“Zane! You are not going anywhere. You will come back to this mansion, and I will make sure of it,” Iheld his hand, but he chuckled sarcastically.
“Maddox! I am thankful to you for always sticking by my side. But I am not returning this time. I know itmight suck to hear this, but I have a strong feeling — this is my last time standing on this property,” he
mumbled without any emotions on his face. He then didn’t let me argue with him and walked out of themansion once he had spared a full glance at it. I blame Gwen for everything.
The minute she returned, the brothers fell apart. But soon it will be over—at least I hope so.
We sat in the car and began our journey to the cabin to grab the dagger. It was actually very clever ofthem to hide the dagger in the cabin, as nobody willingly wanted to step into that place.
The whole car ride was eerily silent. Zane played some old music we used to listen to when we werekids. I was beginning to see signs of depression. I even realized he was missing our parents. Our momspecifically.
I would have a talk with him, but right now, I needed a much more chill topic. “Do you think it is a boy?”I asked him, and he shook his head to return to the real world.
“What?” he asked in confusion, keeping his eyes on the road as he drove us to the cabin.
“Helel’s baby,” I mentioned, and I noticed a smile on his lips. He was desperately waiting for the arrivalof the baby, but I had a feeling he might never see the baby. At least not until Gwen was taken care of.
“Hmmm—I think she is a girl,” Zane replied confidently, despite his words suggesting otherwise.
“Ah! That will be amazing. You know, feel like Beatrice will take good care of her,” I had a feeling thatafter Gwen was gone, we could ask Beatrice to take care of the baby with us. I am sure that will give usmore time with her. However, it will raise Helel’s chances with her.
“You think so?” Zane smiled widely at the mention of Beatrice.
“I know for sure,” I said, and soon the cabin arrived. Zane decided to stay in the car, as we havedecided that I will be in charge of the dagger. I grabbed the dagger from the room after spending about
an hour digging into the ground to find it. And once I was back in the car, we began our journey to thevortex. We heard there was still lava in the area, but it was a necessary thing to do.novelbin
We have to hide it there, or else Gwen will get her hands on it.
We had to take the plane because we didn’t have time. I received calls from Helel and had to come upwith several excuses. Colt and Reign had no idea where we went, so they were blowing up our phonesas well, to the point that we had to shut down our phones after all.
Once we reached the mountains, the damage created by the volcano hit us hard. The place where weonce used to visit is now gone.
“Step carefully,” Zane mumbled as he began to walk ahead of me. He claimed to have a house here,but I am sure we won’t be able to find it. However, we could still look for a safe hiding spot for thedagger.
“Are you sure the dagger will be safe here? I mean, it is very far away from where we live. So, if ourenemy were to get their hands on it, it would be a long journey for us to cover in order to come here,” Iyammered, but Zane didn’t respond to me. He was very focused on trying to step carefully, as therewas lava everywhere.
It’s a good thing we were alpha kings.
“Do you think this is a safe place?” I asked again as he led me to a dark place between the twomountains. As we came out on the other side, I saw an open sky. Zane stood behind me and wasabout to say something when I gasped, and he went completely silent.
The sight before my eyes was exactly what my nightmare looked like.
There were people in all-black clothes watching me.
“What is going on—,” as I stuttered and fought to speak. They all bowed down to me in respect.
My heart skipped a beat. The world seemed to have slipped from under my feet. It felt like I had beenstruck with terror.
That dream wasn’t a nightmare but a reality, and that place in my dream wasn’t hell. It was thesemountains with lava resting around them.
And then I met another shock. I followed their stares and realized they were not looking my way; theywere not bowing to me.
