Sharing Beatrice A Luna To Her Stepbrothers by Alexis Dee

183-The Lost Soul Of Helel

I was dragged into my room after I started causing a ruckus. I couldn't let the guards in and take away Helel. His brothers were also debating and questioning their father, who stood silently in the corner and watched Helel being dragged out like a criminal.

"Look what you have done." My mother hadn't stopped pacing from one corner of the room to the other.

"I cannot let them punish him, mom!" I had been sitting on the floor, crying my heart out for Helel.

"Screw him. We are fucked, too. You should worry about yourself now," mom stopped and slapped my head, ‘He is anyway doomed. They are beating him in front of the whole pack to get answers from him. I don't think he will survive such silver bullets and wolfbane.* The moment my mother told me what they had been doing to Helel, I lost it.

I got up from the floor and ran over to the window to see what was going on in the garden.

"Don't open the window," my mother approached me and scolded me. The window was preventing the noises from penetrating our ears.

I watched the pack members and the councilors surround him while the guards shot bullets at him, making sure they didn't hit him in the head or heart. It was just to cause him pain.

"He is not telling them where he left Colt," mom nervously mumbled from behind me.

Helel had big chains around his neck, which the guards would pull around and make him fall to the ground.

The brothers didn't come out as they couldn't see him in such a state.
