Chapter 41


    41 He Came For Me


    “You cannot stay with her. That is inappropriate. Especially when you have a mate at home.” I guess I


    should have shut up when I had time.


    “Beatrice! You might be my fated mate, but you are not my desired mate. What is inappropriate is that


    you act like my sweet stepsister in front of everyone and behave like a mate in my room.” His words and


    the way his eyes twitched when he talked about my character made me look away from him.


    “But the truth is that we are mates,” I mumbled, pinching my fingers and feeling suffocated inside my


    body enough to not be able to tell him clearly how much it hurts me when he thinks so much about that


    she-wolf.


    He kept staring at my face before he let out a sigh and said, “You have many other mates. So, how about


    you go enjoy yourself with whoever you want, and I will live my life? How does that sound, eh?” He


    asked because he was done packing, and ready to leave, and I was only dying him.


    “But what about you and me?” I asked, and he cringed so hard that I couldn’t ask him again. “I will just go


    to my room then,” I gave up. He should have realized that while tending to some she-wolve that he is


    overlooking the fact that his own mate is afraid of the dark.


    I walked back to my room, but a part of me thought he had seen the sadness on my face and would


    come around to apologize to me or even offer to stay in my room for the night.


    I sat in my bed for a few minutes, and then I heard it-a knock on the door. A huge smile crept over my


    lips at the thought of himing to my room for the night. Jumping out of bed andnding on my feet, I


    bnced my body and rushed to the door to open it.


    The moment I did so, my hopes were shattered. The huge smile on my face disappeared, too.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    “What happened? Step aside; I am going to sleep with you tonight.” Mom frowned, holding a pillow under


    her arm, and walked past me to get settled down in the bed. She must have taken a good shower after


    doing things on the kitchen


    counter with Lord Vasquez. I wondered if she didn’t fear that one of the brothers would spot her with his


    father in that condition.


    “Why are you still standing there? Come! Get in bed. We have to wake up early tomorrow morning for


    Halloween shopping.” She was already lying down in bed and calling for me. I peeked my head out of the


    room and saw a lock on Helel’s room. He had left already.


    Iy down with my mom, but my mind was still stuck on Helel and that girl. I wondered what they would


    do alone for the whole night.


    “You know, we are celebrating Halloween for the first time.” Mom’s cheerful glee stole my attention from


    her. “We never used to have money for it. But the brothers are known for throwing big parties. We will


    enjoy ourselves to the fullest this time.” She seemed so happy that I couldn’t tell if a child had possessed


    her or if she was just trying to relive the choices she had never had before in her life.


    We talked for a few minutes before she fell asleep. I couldn’t. After making sure my mother had fallen


    asleep, I gently ran a hand through my long blond hair, remembering Helel.


    That moment when we felt the mate bond again was so special. His beautiful eyes were staring into


    mine, and my body was restingfortably around him.


    I closed my eyes to imagine him with me. His strong, muscr body and his hard dick rub against my


    thighs as he kisses my neck. Oh! I will squirm and feel so lucky.


    I woke up to my mom shaking my arms and calling my name like the house had been set on fire.


    Through my blurry vision, I saw her angry face and reckoned something upsetting must have ruined her


    mood again.


    “You are making uste. Get up!” she yelled again, and I realized I was the one upsetting her. I dragged


    my body out of bed tiredly and took a shower in a hurry. Imagine somebody knocking on the door every


    two seconds while you are taking a shower. My mother did that.


    She kept asking me every two seconds, what am I doing and when will I be done?”


    Finally, after I had slipped into a ck sweater and loose blue jeans, I walked out of the mansion with


    her. There was a minor change of ns of which neither of us was aware. Lord Vasquez had asked


    Maddox to apany us, and, surprisingly enough, he had agreed to it.


    My mother didn’t look very satisfied with the idea because she was intending to stick close to Vasquez,


    as the she-wolves in the bigger malls usually hit on Vasquez because they knew he was rich and an


    alpha, the leader of the council.


    Everyone wanted a taste of power and money. But now that Maddox had joined us, she just couldn’t


    believe she would


    have you leave me with him. The car ride was awkward, too. was sitting in the backseat with Maddox,


    who was constantl talking to his brother, dismissing pack matters, and ruining my mother’s mood.


    After getting off the car, mom told us she would be in the mall and we should stick with her, but Vasquez


    disagreed an told us to look for other shops too in order to find the costumes we are looking for.


    Mom and Vasquez were walking ahead of us, but every now and then, my mother would turn her head to


    look at Maddox and me. That’s when I decided to have a word with Maddox, too.


    “I know why you joined us today,” I mumbled.


    “You didn’t want my mom and your dad to enjoy their time,” added, keeping my head straight and making


    sure my mothe didn’t see us talking.


    “Who told you that? I didn’t join for them,” he answered very calmly, making me turn my neck only a little


    towards him. “I joined for you,” he imed, giving me a shock.
