Chapter 550
Chapter 550 My Last Stop! (Beatrice dismay)
“Why can’t she see that Zane mistreats her, no matter how much she gives her?” Colt complained, still rubbing his hand over his injuries.
I was surprised at what had happened in the end. His watery eyes softened my heart, but deep in my head, I was still angry with everyone who became the reason why I lost Akin.
“Beatrice! Are you okay?” Helel must have noticed that I haven’t said a word since Zane took her away. “She knows,” I murmured. “She finally knows that she has been chasing someone who doesn’t value her.”
“Then why doesn’t she leave his side and help him?” Colt shook his head, as he disagreed with me.
“She could do,” I uttered, and opened my palm closely, revealing the keys she secretly slipped into my hand when she got too close to my cage. “Is it these?” Helel asked puzzled, and with a single nod, I answered. Heel and Colt were surprised to see it.
They shared a deep look before the two rushed to the side, where they could be closer to my cage.
“What’s the plan?” Colt asked excitedly.
“Find out where they’re keeping the... Akin’s body,” I had to close my eyes to even mention him as dead.
“I understand,” Helel sounded calm after hearing my plan.
“I’ll find Reign, and then—I have to do something. You two look for Akin’s body, make sure it is not decomposing quickly. As for Evelyn and Shiloh, once I find Reign, I will go find those two,” I ordered as the two paid their full attention.
I could look at them and say they believed in me. So when everyone was starting to get too comfortable in the den, I opened my cage and went out.
Fortunately, the people of **** were too busy exploring antiques. By the time they were stealing things, he had opened the cages for Helel and Colt.
The two walked out while Colt was almost limping.
I know it won’t be long before someone sees these empty cages or Zane comes back to talk to me. Since he just took Maura away, I assumed we had some free time.Beatriz! just before I left, Helel said, holding my hand.
“Please be careful,” he whispered, making me nod towards him.
Once we separated, I began to hide in the corners to spot the men in black and follow them. One of them must be taking care of Reign.
Once I saw Jay, something changed inside me. He was angry to see him walk well. He was supposed to be dead after killing and hurting so many innocent lives.
Taking a deep breath, I followed him until he was alone.
“I guess no one will know if I do it with her,” he said quietly, reaching for a door and slowly opening it. I knew I was horny about fucking anyone, but whoever was inside probably had no idea of his intentions.
I instantly reached the door, and before I could close it, I walked in. He was forcibly pushed back, and his eyes expressed the horror he was facing at seeing me in front of him.
“How...?” He paused as I pounced on him. I scratched him from the neck down before I saw who was in bed. This asshole wanted to rape Reign while she was passed out.
“Listen, I can help you...”, he began to use his last breath to offer me a deal.
“Yes, help me, just die!” I muttered and put my hand on his chest, grabbing his heart and pulling it out. If he had done it before, many of our warriors would still be alive.
I quickly approached Reign on the bed and saw the anti-magic chains around his wrist. Quickly taking them off, I began to pat my hand on her cheek to wake her up.
“Reign!” I repeated the process until his eyelids moved and he opened his eyes constantly.
Beatriz! He jumped on the bed and took my hands. “Colt—,” I understand that her last memory of being awake was seeing Colt suffering.
“Hey, he’s fine. He is with Helel right now. They are looking for Ak-in’s corpse,” it took me all my might to say that.
His eyes widened at the news, and without delay, he hugged me tightly.“We must, Reign,” when I said that, he broke the hug and looked at my face.
“I have to use my scale,” I murmured, looking at her with tears in my eyes. “But you know what it means, right?” she uttered.
“I don’t care if I’m not so powerful anymore. I just want my Akin alive,” I insisted, holding his hands and trying not to cry. I don’t need to cry for someone who isn’t dead. He will come back for me. I will make sure of that. “Well! Let’s go then,” Reign knew time flew quickly. So he jumped out of bed and ran out of the room with me.
We ran away from the mansion instead of staying.
I know I skipped this part of telling Helel and Colt, but this was the most important part I wanted to do perfectly.
“Once we lose our second stopover, we will no longer be as powerful or have healing abilities as before,” Ace reminded me for the last time when I arrived in the mountains.
I know he wasn’t against the idea, but he just wanted to inform myself and do his duty.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
“If Akin is not in my life and I have a thousand scales, I will be miserable,” I pronounced, taking off my pendant and letting Ace take over.
When the transition began, Reign prepared to remove the last scale from my body without causing me too much pain.
As my limbs grew and my body transitioned, I leaned in front of Reign so he could get closer and get the job done. When he grabbed my scales, my body shuddered, but I tried not to show it.
There was no time for me to focus on my own pain. Once he took it from me, I fell to the ground in pain. “Oh, no! Are you okay?”
Reign instantly began running her hands over my scaly body to comfort me.
With just a blink of an eye, I informed him that Ace and I were fine. It took me at least five minutes to transform again because of the weakness I started to feel almost immediately.
“Listen, put this on,” Reign gave me the dress she had picked up from the closet before leaving.
It was a red silk dress with no underwear. Those things weren’t my priorities right now. He had to go back to the mansion and find the others.“Listen!” Once we arrived at the mansion, I took Reign’s hand and stopped him from walking in front of me. “Go ahead, save him,” I muttered, stealing her eyes. I wouldn’t be able to see him dead.
“Don’t worry, I’ll do my best work,” since Reign could use her magic to keep herself and the scale safe and even make sure the process was quick, I decided to leave her with the responsibility.
I had to find Shiloh and Evelyn myself.
As I ran into the second-floor hallway, I saw Colt with Shiloh.
“Did you find Reign?” Colt asked, looking behind me.
“I was feeling the energy here,” I didn’t know Reign was coming right behind me.
“Colt,” she saw him and threw her arms around his neck, kissing him hard enough for me to pull her away from him.
“We don’t have time for all this,” I said, quickly scanning Shiloh to make sure she was okay.
“We don’t know where Evelyn is,” Shiloh said. He looked very weak.
“Where is Helel?” Then I asked Colt why he was on duty looking for Akin.
It’s in the basement. That’s where they’ve kept his body,” Colt said. “By the way, I think something happened. Everyone is running to that room where I guess Zane will stay,” Colt added with the additional information.
We were alarmed to think that maybe he was finally making a plan to end everyone else’s lives.
“Then we’d better hurry,” I said. “You guys go find Helel and Reign. You do the work. I’ll look for Evelyn,” patted him on the back, and even though Colt kept looking at me in confusion and wondering what job I had given Reign, I walked away from them.
