Chapter 546 Facing the Devil (Beatrice Dismay)
Why didn’t we realize it was just Zane’s plan to distract us? I was constantly complaining and worriedabout what might be going on in the dragon’s lair. If only we knew we were falling into a trap, we wouldnever have left anyone behind in the dragon’s lair.
It was Zane’s idea to make us think we could win, fight all night and then retire, wasting time gatheringenergy.
“Okay. I’m sure my brother and Colt had everything under control. By the time they keep the lairprotected, we’ll get to the mansion too,” Helel assured me, trying to calm me down.
I wanted to believe him because his version of what could happen was so much better than anynegativity that was brewing in my head.novelbin
I just couldn’t stop worrying.
A strange feeling of losing everything kept playing with my emotions. I did my best not to think that wayand keep a positive attitude, but it wasn’t easy anymore. “I can’t get in touch with them,” Reigncomplained, as he couldn’t call Colt. There is another big red flag. We haven’t been able to contactthem for hours. It was getting exhausting.
Our jet landed in the mountains. From there, we split our asses running towards the destination. By thetime we all reached the lair, I was surprised to find everything quiet.
It was so quiet that I had to constantly look around to make sure we were in the right place. Helelseemed all set up for any kind of scenario as she looked around. All our warriors followed us in silence;Everyone was scared about what we were going to face now.
The roads were empty, but there were traces of bloodshed everywhere. The situation itself was anindication that something very terrible had happened here. The sound of wind was the only noise wecould hear at this time. And then I heard Reign gasp a little.
Following his gaze, we find Colt tied to a pole near the road.
“COLT!” Reign’s deafening voice pierced as he began to run in his direction. Helel and I share a glancebefore looking around. It was as if we knew what was going on here.
“Reign! It’s a trap,” I shouted, but it was too late. She had approached him, and soon Jay came outfrom behind the pole and grabbed her by the hair. Everything was happening at an accelerated pace.So when Reign opened her mouth to use a spell for protection, Jay injected her with something thatsuddenly made her shut up.
“Let her go!” I threw myself forward, but Helel took me by the hand to pull me back.
My heart skipped a beat at the revelation of Zane and his other people coming out of all places. It waslike watching a scene in a movie where you know something disastrous happened.
If they could walk so freely, it only meant one thing. That they have beaten Akin. No! Just the merethought sent chills down my spine.
He will be so broken after losing a war against the devil. Worried and scared, I watched Zane take overas Reign passed away in Jay’s arms.
“Welcome!” Zane screamed, his eyes screaming straight at me.
“Everyone back off!” Helel raised her hand to command our warriors. Since the entire lair was underZane’s arrest, we didn’t want to anger him.
Behind him was Maura. His eyes stared at me for a moment before he quickly turned his head down.He could be wrong, but he didn’t seem too happy about helping Zane with his mischievous plans.
“What have you done to Colt?” Helel screamed, making Zane smile at her.
“Are you more focused on him than your own brother?” Zane’s comment made me frown: “I’m here. Tellme; Ask me how I’m doing.
We were stunned by Zane’s constant attempts to sound like the victim. He always complained that wedidn’t welcome him.
I don’t know how anyone could even accept it after all the bad deeds he had done.
“Stop talking nonsense; tell me where Akin is,” Helel yelled at him, avoiding him once again.
“That’s so sad. The way you don’t even care about me and keep talking about everyone but me. Zaneshook his head and clicked his tongue to express what he was feeling.
Where is Akin? I stepped forward to scream, my heartbeat choked in my chest now. I was starting toworry a lot now.
“Oh!” Zane expressed his concern, stepping forward to reduce the distance between us.
“The desire for my broken heart, the breeze to my dry life, my beautiful partner is here, but he’s askingfor someone else,” in the way he introduced me to his people, I found Maura looking down.
She didn’t understand why she was so miserably in love with him. He was clearly using it. “Oh! Don’tworry about her—Zane must have seen me look at Maura because she instantly started clarifying it.
“She’s on my team. A dear friend who is always there for me,” he added, and my throat began to dryup. He was so easily minimizing his relationship with her once again, and she was there, listening to it
all.
“Where is my Akin?” I didn’t care about his love life. I had my attention on my partner.
Zane caught up with me, and just as he was a few steps away from me, he shook his head indisappointment and sighed.
“This is the exact reason I have to do it,” he shrugged, “and now I will be seen as a monster,” he added.
The way I kept dodging the subject of Akin was affecting me. I took a quick look around and noticed allthe cages and the people in them.
I even saw my mother in one of the cages. But where were Akin, Shiloh and Evelyn?
“Alas! Akin fought hard and will always be remembered as the hero who came so close to getting mypartner,” as Zane hunched over and announced the news to my face. I fell backwards, unable tobreathe.
