Chapter 520
Chapter 520 Is Beatrice a Hated Moon Queen Now?
After the brothers told Zane that they suspected Beatrice for something so heinous, we had to leavethe mansion to find the gun he had used to kill Gwen.
I wasn’t satisfied with how they handled this whole situation. In fact, I was so angry that I was justfollowing them to laugh in their faces when it turned out that Beatrice was innocent. I understand theywere upset about Gwen’s untimely death. I went too. But that didn’t mean Beatrice had to die with her.
“Aren’t you going to say anything?”
Reign commented as we sat together in the back seat of the car while Akin was the one driving it.
Helel stayed at the mansion with Zane and Beatrice to make sure they didn’t run away from the scene.
“What do you expect me to say?” I turned to her angrily, looking into her eyes, but she kept stealing mygaze.
“I don’t think you two realize how much you’re hurting her,” I commented, watching Akin finally park thecar on the side of the road and take a deep breath.
And what did he do to us? What do you have to say about it, Colt? Reign sounded so different frombefore. She used to have a lot of faith in Beatrice, but now she acted like she was sure that Beatricekilled Gwen and also did all the other horrible things.
“Do you think she is capable of all the bad things that come her way?” I asked, and she rolled her eyes.“She is a doomsday lover. If anything, she’s the most capable,” his statement made me clench my jawand get out of the vehicle angrily. I didn’t want to sit down with those who don’t even want to make surefirst if Beatrice is doing all that of her own free will or if they’re blackmailing her into doing it.
The two came out behind me, but Akin was silent all this time. “Foal! We don’t have time for this. Wehave to go get the weapon that was used against Gwen,” Reign hissed, shaking his head at me fordelaying.
“Then you should go. I’m not going to any mountain,” I announced, and watched Akin nod. “Do youhave another important thing to do?” Reign seemed so relaxed, but so different.
“What is Reign? Is this some kind of quest for you? Aren’t you even a little upset because on thereceiving end of all these horrible accusations is our Beatrice? I screamed once that I couldn’t take itanymore.
“And where the hell are we headed? Do you think he killed her in the mountains and then waited togive himself her body? She was starting to lose her mind with the ease with which they were convincedjust because she was caught having an affair with Zane.
It was as if they only defended her when they knew she was their Beatrice. I tracked the gun withGwen’s blood. It’s in the mountains and I know exactly where it is. If you don’t believe anything, wait forme to prove that Beatrice was the last one to wield that weapon. I understand your loyalty to her, butColt, that doesn’t excuse Gwen’s murder. She was a new mother. She deserved to live,” Reign’s wordsmade me lower my head and feel bad about how reluctant she was to find her killer.
Or maybe because Beatrice’s silence scared me and made me think that maybe she was blackmailedinto killing her. “Now, should we leave before someone else finds the dagger and hides it again? Gwendeserves justice,” Reign said quietly.
There was no reason for me to fall behind now. So, I nodded and got in the car with her. He trulybelieved that Beatrice was still innocent. However, I have decided to let them find out for themselves.
We reach the mountains; I stayed in the cave while the two left to grab the dagger.
Once the two returned, I assumed that they had found the dagger. Somehow it worried me. If they wereso precise about the location of the dagger, they must have some solid evidence against Beatrice.
“Hey,” Reign gently pressed my hand as he looked out the window. “When will we know who killedher?” I asked, not turning around to look into her eyes.
“In the morning,” Reign said. I am grateful to her for being patient with me. I have had multiple tantrumsduring the course of our trip to the mountains. Now I just lacked energy. “Do you hate her?” I looked outthe back window to question Akin directly. He remained silent before letting out a deep sigh. I don’tknow what Zane showed him that broke his heart so much, but he had never seen Akin so silent.novelbin
He had managed not to utter a single word or participate in any conversation.
“By the way, Bernard told us a few things,” Reign managed to change the topic, “Shiloh lied about nothaving a predestined companion before you.”
I wasn’t surprised, really. I was there when Bernard was talking to Reign. From her memory, Shilohseemed like a very good companion and a kind-hearted girl. I wonder what changed.
As I focused on his behavior, I began to see similarities between his actions and Beatrice’s.
“Is it just me or is Beatrice acting like Shiloh now?” as she made that comment, Reign turned to look atmy face for a few seconds in silence.
“Foal! Do us a favor and keep an eye on Shiloh and Jay, but don’t let them know anything Bernardsaid. Make it seem normal and focus on their questions, especially what they want to know aboutBeatrice,” that was the first time in hours Akin spoke and the way he said his name. I didn’t hear anyhatred in his tone.
Just worry.
