Chapter 329
Sharing Beatrice A Luna To Her Stepbrothers by Alexis Dee Book 2
Chapter 329 – The Truth About The War.
Author’s POV:
“Come have a seat,” Mr. Brooke sat Helel down after Helel told him his daughter took care of Helel.
Helel took a seat, going in front of everyone was a bit new after coming back to life. Sofia so badly wanted to hug him, while Vasquez knew his son hated him. “My son,’ Sofia whimpered.

“I did whatever I had to, but that didn’t mean it I didn’t regret it. I missed you every single day of my life, my son!” Vasquez started yammering, but the council of adults hushed him down, as they wanted Helel to speak now.
“You were found guilty of helping a weredragon escape,” Brooke recalled, bringing it up.
“They are innocent,” Helel’s claims were met with a frown. The council and the pack alphas were desperately wanting to know what was causing these brothers to suddenly deem weredragon innocents.
“We would like you to explain it to us,” Winchester said, staring at Vasquez, who was gritting his teeth at him.
“She saved him! Isn’t it enough?” Akin said, shaking his head in disbelief. “She is a weredragon princess! She could have turned evil and taken revenge on us for whatever we had done to her, but instead—she gave her golden scale to my brother and saved his life. Do you not see how kind she is? She carries the pain for our kind and takes care of them while we hurt her kind,” Akin explained, watching them stare back at him in confusion. Even they were confused, why had Beatrice saved their alpha king?
“That is all bullshit. She is only doing this so that she can prove herself to be this innocent, fragile girl and later devour us all. If you all had seen her dragon, you would have been afraid of her too,” Vasquez muttered, grunting at his sons for defending her.
“Have you seen her dragon?” Winchester smirked when asking him that question, “I thought you said you weren’t there when she transitioned or you would have killed her right then and there,” he continued to mock Vasquez, receiving a harsh glare from him.
Now that he knew Vasquez was already under scrutiny, he wasn’t afraid of taunting him.“He was, but he was too cowardly to step forward and save me,” Sofia interrupted them, taking side of her friend Winchester who gave her a place to live after her divorce and rejection with Vasquez.
“Enough!” Vasquez yelled at Sofia, making the council share a look of disappointment and disapproval at his outburst.
“Helel! You said you remember. What do you remember exactly?” Akin turned the attention back to Helel since he knew his parents had a habit of diverting subjects by arguing with each other.
“Whatever the Moon Goddess showed me when I was dead,” Helel’s words were met with an instant bow from the council to the Moon Goddess. It was a huge deal that the Moon Goddess had shown herself and spoken to one of them. Even if it was indirect.
“What did you see, son?” Brooke asked Helel.
“I saw what led to the war between the weredragons and the werewolves,” Helel whispered under his breath, feeling extremely guilty.
“And what exactly was it?” another member of the council said with a gulp running down his throat. They all knew The Moon Goddess would be extremely mad at them if they had taken wrong decisions.
“Years ago, when the weredragon king and queen were brought here, they were not invited to our pack to have a talk. They were brought here so that they can be robbed of their children. That night, when my parent’s loyal servant Elex stole the babies, he gave one to his mistress and took the other one, with his dead daughter, to his mate’s house. The mate was already angry with him, so she killed him. My father knew what happened, but he used this opportunity to say, the oldest weredragon had killed one of ours. They accused Destiny Despair of the murder. Hence, the kids going missing made sense. Destiny was supposed to take care of the children, so when she decided to run for her life, the kids were misled. That’s the narrative my parents sang, but that wasn’t the truth. My parents had already stolen the twins. One of them turned out to be Beatrice—,” Helel paused after tears started running down his eyes, as he could literally see it all happen before his eyes.
“And what about the other baby?” Winchester asked, watching the brothers share a very sad glance.
“They fed that baby to one of us,” Helel didn’t explain anymore since that was his limit. He was woken up from the dead right when he was watching that part, but Maddox lowered his head since he knew who it was.
“What? that’s —horrible,” Brooke was the first to let out a gasp, and then tears filled his eyes, “maybe my daughter paid for my sins. I was one of the members who supported the theory that weredragons were evil.”The others were as shocked as him. They were now looking at Vasquez with angry glares for lying and deceiving them and also committing a crime so disgusting.
“We thought you couldn’t get any worse,” one of the oldest council members stood up and yelled at Vasquez.
“What are you all talking about? Are you seriously going to believe a story that he thought he saw? Just look at the bigger picture,” Vasquez maintained his innocence, not pleading guilty, “they are in love with that seductress, and she convinced them to make her and her kind look innocent. So now they are all making up these stories— who even feeds a baby to another baby, and why would we ever do that?” He laughed at them for believing something so ridiculous.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
“Listen to me—I say, we kill that dragon and finish this whole mess before she returns for us and kills every single one of us,”
Vasquez stated, getting up on his feet to make orders.
