Sharing Beatrice A Luna To Her Stepbrothers By Alexis Dee Chapter 488
“A letter?” I took it from his hands and then watched him walk away. I felt odd. It was almost as if shedisappeared from the face of the earth, but I knew the answer was in that letter.
I closed my eyes to calm my agitated nerves before unfolding the piece of paper that was handed overto me. As soon as I opened it, I brought it close to my nose and smelled Beatrice’s scent on it.
“Akin! I am glad that things are going so well between us. I met you years ago and never thought Iwould get a chance to be with you. I was happy when we ended up marking each other. However, thehappiness remained for only a short time. I didn’t want to say it, but things began to change. Especiallyafter Helel k*issed me that night, I wish I could lie to myself and say I didn’t feel the same, but I felt theheat in my body—,” I paused as I closed my eyes and then opened them, taking steady breaths.
“Your proposal came to me as a surprise, but I was happy. I was so happy that I was finally gettingmarried, but then I began to wonder, What about Helel and my other mates? There was a reason I wasgiven all those mates. I cannot abandon them just to be with you, especially when my heart is cravingto be with them. I want to give time to my other mates. I knew it might hurt you, but this is the truth. Icannot go into marriage with you with so much baggage on my shoulders. I want to take some timealone and think about everything., I am sorry for hurting you, but I really need this time. Please don’tsearch for me or try to force me to come back. I just want to be alone for now,” I read the letter andinstantly held my breath.
Title of the document
Before I could make any calls, Reign called me.
“Akin, where are you?” she asked in a much more excited tone.
“I am—is Gwen alright?” I questioned. “She is fine. She gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. She is sopretty,” I could tell from her voice that she was happy. I wanted to be satisfied, but a corner of my heartwas crying.
“Congratulations. I will come home soon,” I said in a dry tone.
“Hey, what’s up? Did you and Beatrice have a fight? We haven’t seen the two of you around the entireday,” now that she was slowly getting out of the trance of a happy state, she was beginning to lookaround and notice she was missing.
“Beatrice is missing,” I told Reign, not wanting to hide it anymore. I need to find her, no matter what thenote or anyone else says.
“What?” She let out a gasp.
“I looked everywhere, but she is gone. I am devastated Reign. I need your help. I need you to find her,scent her, and locate her for me,” I insisted as I ran my hand through my hair in agitation.
“Oh God! Do one thing–come home. I will do something to find her,” she suggested, but the idea ofgoing back to that mansion where there is no Beatrice was hard for me to swallow. But instead of beingstubborn and running at the crucial time of finding her, I decided to agree and sprint my way backhome.
Once I was home, I found every guard gathered around the mansion, making sure nobody tried to getin. Once I had made it into the living room, I saw Helel rushing towards the exit and only stopping whenhe saw me.
“Where is Beatrice?” he asked in a panicky tone. The first thing he did was ask about her and not evenmention Gwen.
“She is gone,” I uttered, staring at Colt and Reign coming out of the living room. Reign was carrying alittle baby in her hands. The corner of my eyes burned as I stared at her innocent face. Taking slowstrides, I steadily took the baby out of her hands and smiled weakly. Every piece of me was shattered.
“Gwen is fine,” Reign stated with a smile of comfort. She was really worried she wouldn’t be able tostay alive to take care of her daughter. “We need to find Beatrice. She would have been so happy if shesaw her,” I said, realizing there was no way she would do such a thing. She knew Gwen was due in afew days. Why would she leave everyone worried about her?novelbin
That was very unlike Beatrice. She was a responsible person and would always act wisely.
“Did you look at the mountains?” Helel asked, getting agitated.
“I did. She went to the mountains at night, and then there is no news on her,” I said, hiding the fact thatI found a letter from her.
There was no need to bring up that letter. She must be found. If she wants space, she can have it whilewe know where she is.
I will not believe the letter until she says all this to my face.
“Then we shouldn’t waste time,” Helel announced, and I bobbed my head, returning the baby to Reign.
“I will look for her. However, I will need her blood to locate her,” Reign said. We have kept bloodsamples around just in case something happens.
As I made a call to the guard to fetch me her blood from the royal lockers, I was hit with another pieceof bad news. “What are you saying?” I asked in shock.
“Your highness–she came here a few hours ago and took her blood with her,” he said, making my headdo a spin. It felt like I was dreaming.
“You saw her with your own eyes?” I wanted confirmation. She wouldn’t do that to me.
Leave with just a letter?
“Yes. I can fetch you the security footage of her arrival,” the guard mentioned, and I looked around atthe agitated family members.
“What did he say?” Reign asked.
“They have lost the sample. We need to find her anyhow,” once again, hiding the truth from them, Iordered them to start looking for her.
