Chapter 440 I Cannot Join You (Maddox Spade)
“You were always a nice one, brother,” he whispered, making a shiver run down my spine.
“Zane! Let me go. There is something wrong with my body,” I insisted as I felt something liquid rundown my shirt.
“Zane!” I requested it again, as I didn’t want to forcefully push him away and hurt his feelings. 1 knewhe had been very sensitive these days, so maybe his brother getting out of his embrace would hurthim.
“Zane!” Finally, once 1 couldn’t take it anymore, I fought and freed myself. As soon as we separated, Isaw something in his hand —something that sent shivers up my spine.
There was a bloody dagger in his hand.
The blood was mine. As I lowered my head, I saw the wound he had left in me.
I was too stunned to speak or even ask him what he had done.
“This—,” I stuttered, stepping back and gently pressing my hand on the wound. Zane had straightenedhis back, and there were big tears leaving his eyes, but he looked almost emotionless.
“What are —,” I gasped as he pulled closer and stabbed me again. It wasn’t a mistake, then. He knewwhat he was doing, and he didn’t seem to stop.
Once I pushed back, I saw the look on his face, and it almost gave me goosebumps, but before I couldeven question him more, Huia stepped in.
“So, what were you saying?” She joked, but went suddenly silent when she got a look from Zane.
“Why?” I asked in confusion. Why would he stab me for her? He just came here and found out abouthis identity, and he stabbed me?
“Do you still not know?” Huia shook her head in disbelief
“You think I know nothing? Who do you think gave your mother the idea of feeding the weredragonbaby to her child?” She had a wide grin on her lips. “Your mother came to me to get my help from me. Iknew she was a bitch and would never be nice to me. She would never hold up her side of the deal.So, I told her what she needed to know, but I didn’t tell her that once she feeds her baby theweredragon baby, her baby will never be the same. He will be the evilest ever. Anyway, so basically,when your mother didn’t give up on you, you two were born, but Zane suffered. So your motherregretted saving you because she later found Zane more affectionate than you. Poor you! And you stillwant to be the one who loves his siblings,” she began to crack up, making me tear up.
“Why do you want to live?” She rolled her eyes dramatically.
It wasn’t easy for me to think of my parents as someone so evil, and on top of it, she was now tellingme my parents regretted saving me.
“Your mother chose Zane over you. She pinned an entire powerful creature against herself just to savehim, but she regrets saving you. Are you certain you still want to go back and be with the brothers, whowill never accept you over anyone else, either? Why not stay here and serve the man from hell?” Shefinished with a shrug. Her people nodded. I didn’t care what she was saying. I was focusing on mybrother. What she did was not surprising at all, but for my own brother to do this to me left me frozen.
“Ugh!” She rolled her eyes dramatically and began yammering.
I was not only shocked but heartbroken, too. This was not something 1 ever expected from my brother.
“He is not doing it, f—or you,” I stammered as I smiled weakly. I felt like plan. Maybe he will act like heis killing me, but then he will save me.novelbin
However, Zane shook his head, and after stretching his neck, he began to speak.
“This was never supposed to happen, but what do I do? You tell me.” his voice was so calm that it gaveme instant chills.
“What?” I asked with a dry mouth.
“You had to die, brother,” he whispered. “You have to die,” he finished.
I was still in extreme shock. I was just staring at Zane wandering around me and waving the dagger.
“You had to die because that is what it says in the prophecy. We have all heard about all the heroesand villains. Sadly, it was very late when it dawned on me that there is one more piece that we need tosort out. Sadly, for you, it was my twins sacrifice. You see, there is a mistress of doomsday; there is aman from hell; there is a dark night; and there is a white savior. And then there was a white goat—theone we had to sacrifice. Now I am sure Beatrice would never hurt you or anyone else, so I have to do itmyself I have to start it, and for that to happen, the white goat has to be sacrificed,” Zane’s words stunglike a bee to me. He then looked over at me and mumbled. “But that doesn’t mean I never loved you.You will always hold a special place in my heart. You will always be the brother who believed in me.Hence, I have to become the best and take over the world. I will not let your sacrifice go wasted,” hepulled closer, and with force, he hugged me again.
“I love you, brother. I wish it wasn’t meant to be like that,” he whispered in my ear, and the next thing Iknew, he was piercing his hand through my chest.
There was enough time for me to attack him or snatch the dagger out of his hand, but I didn’t do it. Ibelieve I died the moment I heard he was planning my murder all this time.
His hand entered my chest and grabbed my heart. The pain was nothing compared to the pain ofbetrayal. Everything that I ever wished to see again flashed before my eyes.
As I gently closed my eyes, I saw Helel and Akin sitting in the living room with a little baby girl in Helel’sarms. Beatrice walked out of the kitchen and walked past me to put the tray down. She had bakedcookies for the first time.
“Hey, Maddox! Why are you standing there? Come join us,” they all said in unison. Colt and Reignwaved their hands, by the way, but I couldn’t step into the living room anymore.
“What is going on, babe? Come, be with us,” Beatrice smiled brightly. I could see the mark I left on herneck after our mating ceremony. It was a reality that was never going to be real. My dream of everachieving it was stopped.
“I—I” whispered, trying to carry my foot, but my body felt heavy.
“Come on, your niece wants to play with her favorite uncle. Helel smiled when calling me inside. Iwanted to break free from all the restrictions and go hug Helel. I have been so wrong about it. I wishedI had hugged him one last time.
I wished to join my family, but then I felt a hard grasp against my wrist and saw Zane pulling me awayfrom them.
“My time is up. I cannot join you guys anymore,” I whispered, watching them as they disappeared.
I don’t know if I want to relive any part of my life again because every part will remind me of mybrother’s betrayal. If he had asked me nicely, I would have sacrificed myself for him a long time ago.
And then Zane pulled his hand out, with my heart in it.
