471-Marry Me.
"Gwen! You should not think about all that.You will get to live and take care of your baby."
I held her hands again and spoke softly, even when her wish shook the world from under my feet.
"Beatrice! I want to be honest with myself So I want to be prepared for anything," she mumbled as shesighed.
Helel sat there in complete silence until he shook his head and cleared his throat to intervene.
"We will not let anything happen to you, Gwen.Don’t have all these negative thoughts," he whispered,and after that, Gwen nodded with a smile on her lips.
Something about her smile told me that she wanted to hear what Helel had to say about thissuggestion.
Obviously, she still considered me a mother for her baby, and that made me feel very warm but alsoupset at the same time.
What she said about the brothers sharing me didn’t go well with me.
Akin and I are happy.I wouldn't want anyone to come between us and ruin things for us.However, nowthat he had been gone for hours, I was beginning to get worried.
He wasn't picking up my calls, either.
Helel took Gwen back into her room while Colt and Reign stayed in the kitchen, cooking food foreveryone.
"Hey, don't get worried.He messaged me and told me that he was fine.He just needs time alone,"
Colt appeared in the living room with homemade tacos and offered me a plate.
"I don’t think I can eat anything until he comes home and I have a talk with him," I excused, looking tothe other side and not even taking a bite from anything.
My appetite died when Akin left the mansion.
"Guys, I am sure what he did to Shiloh was right, but what about Zane? Why would he want his handson Akin’s mate? What can he possibly do with their mate bond?"
She brought up another worry.
Everybody was so angry with Shiloh that they forgot that her safety was important.
"I don’t care.She was too much for us to handle.We are already in so much trouble, and then there shewas----causing one mess after another,"
Colt mumbled, taking a huge bite from the taco.He made it clear that he didn’t care where she might beright now.
"Can he control Akin using her mate bond?" I asked and noticed the shift in Reign’s expressions.
She seemed interested in checking out that scenario.
"I will do some research and let you know," she uttered.
"When you leave tonight, can you take me along? I need to get some books from the royal library," sherequested.novelbin
She was the only one from outside who had permission to use the royal library and go through themagic books. But something about her statement confused me.
"Okay, I will drop you off," I said, confused why she said it like she thought I had somewhere to be.
"I can come along," Colt offered.
"No, Beatrice will be enough.She goes out and comes back fine,"
Reign teased, expressing her adoration for my powers.But that’s when she lost me.
"I go out?" I asked, and even Colt was taken aback.
"I don’t go out anywhere,"
I let out a little uncontrollable laugh, thinking she might be joking, but when her expressions didn’tchange, I began to worry.
"That is so weird.I saw you leaving the I mansion last night in a hurry," she stroked her chin, and bit theinside of her cheek visibly.
"Are you sure you saw me?" I requested to know because I don't remember leaving the mansion lastnight at all.
"Yeah.You were wearing red lipstick, and I was like, ‘wow! Is she going out on a date behind ourbacks?"She laughed when she mentioned the way I was dressed up last night.
"But I didn’t go anywhere," I repeated my genuine response.I went straight to bed with Akin becausewe were extremely tired.
"Oh! Then I must have been dreaming," she said, slapping the back of her head and continuing to eatafter shocking me with her claims.I don't know how she managed to look so nonchalant, but I wasworried.
Well, only for a little while, because soon we heard a loud bang of the door getting slammed andassumed someone must have gotten home.I got up from the couch but couldn't bring myself to leavethe living room.I was scared of Akin’s response.
He walked inside in a very neat state, something I wasn't expecting.
Helel strolled into the living room to take care of matters if things went south.He looked so guilty formessing it up for us.
"I can explain," I whispered, sounding guilty when I didn’t do anything wrong.
Akin showed me his palm to silence me.He then continued to approach me, his beautiful eves staringinto mine.
Before another word could be spoken, he swiftly got on his knees.
I felt he was going to break down, but instead, he started talking with his head down.
"It seemed too good to be true when I finally got you," his voice was soft but also very emotional.
I felt bad for breaking him up so much.I should have been more careful.
"Akin---," I uttered, approaching for his hand when he shook his head to dismiss my attempt.
"It was the best thing ever happening to me.I was finally happy, but it seemed like----if I delayed somemore, I would lose you.
So, Beatrice! even when the time is rough and we are losing everyone, will you accept me as yourhusband?"
Those words came as a shock.I kept staring at his face, wondering if I was hearing him right or ifsomebody had done a magical spell on me to make me hear what I wanted to hear.He brought a ring
out of his pocket and held his hand out for me.
I was speechless.
