29-The Exposed Truth
“I felt a mate bond with her,” Maddox repeated his statement, and my heart pounded even faster this
time.
“When was it?” Akin questioned. His voice has changed drastically. He no longer sounded calm and
protective.
“When I left the house,” Maddox’s voice hinted of guilt at not telling his brothers sooner.
“And you didn’t tell any of us? Why?” Akin shouted, and I stepped farther away from the door.
“Beca—use—- because how could I tell you guys I felt a mate bond with my soon-to-be stepsister?” He
yelled back, but he raised his voice out of exhaustion.
“So, what are you here for now?” Akin was the only one talking at this point, while the others remained
silent.
“I just want to know something from her and none of you should be interrupting. She is not your
stepsister only, but my ma—te too,” I could only imagine the face he made when calling me his mate.
He sounded grossed out at the idea. It was funny how he wasn’t feeling any of that disgust when he
was crawling into the bed with me and getting hard while. sleeping behind me.
“Fine!” The change in Akin’s attitude upset me. It drowned my hopes, and I blamed no one but my wolf
for it. Did she have to feel the mate bond with so many werewolves?
It was then the door opened and I ran behind the bed. I didn’t want that confrontation; I didn’t do
anything wrong.
Soon they all walked into the room and the next thing I hear is aggressive footsteps approaching me. I
was beginning to feel anxious, as if I was the one who created this bond between us.
He appeared before me, wearing a stern look on his face. It was after a week that I saw him. Instead of
asking me how I spent those days without him, he grabbed my arm and forced me to my feet. Helel,
Zane, and Akin were standing in a circle, the same circle where Maddox shoved me in.
“Tell me what you did to create a mate bond with me,” Maddox yelled, his blue eyes scaring the living
hell out of me. His eyebrows were slanted and met at the front as he furrowed.
“I didn’t do anything.” I shivered in my skin, looking around at the others. Akin was shaking his head in
disbelief while Helel was not even raising his face. He must be thinking he should have acted the same
way as Maddox to display disgust. Zane was the only one watching us with an indifferent expression on
his face.
“Then how the hell did an omega like you feel a mate bond with me and that alpha from school? How is
it even possible? Is it the same way your mother made our father fall for her?” Maddox’s accusations
were assassinating my character and hurting my feelings. Being an Omega seemed to be a very
cursed thing.
“Tell me.” Maddox grabbed a fistful of my hair out of the blue and clasped my face in his other hand.
His action shook me.
“Hey!” Helel was quick enough to free me from his grasp and push him away. “Don’t you fucking raise
your hand at her again?” I didn’t expect him to come forward and protect me from my crazy mate.
“I don’t think she has the power to control a mate bond,” Helel added, making sure Maddox doesn’t
reach me again. Now that I was behind him, I clung to his shirt.
“Don’t protect her. She did it. I am telling you, she is evil,” Maddox was shouting at the top of his lungs
and trying to grab me from behind Helel, but he couldn’t. Obviously, Helel was stronger in build, so him
shielding me was protecting me from Maddox’s attempts to get his hands on me. Tears
appeared in my eyes when I recalled how he grabbed my hair. It felt so insulting.
“I don’t know, maybe the Moon Goddess saw you for who you are and gave you filth for a mate,” I
yammered in tears from behind Helel’s back, and silence engulfed them once again.
“What makes you think you are any better than me?” I was shaking badly but resting my forehead
against Helel’s back and not letting go of his shirt.
“What the fuck did you say?” Maddox and Zane yelled in unison. I guess Zane took it personally, too.
“What the heck is wrong with you guys?” Helel pushed the two of them away when they fought to get
their hands on me. He then stretched his hand back to lightly rest it on my back as if to reassure me I
was hiding behind him. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
I was disappointed by Akin’s silence.
“Why are you defending her like that?” It was then that Maddox shouted at his brother. I didn’t want
them to argue with Helel, who was keeping me protected behind him. His heart was beating calmly as I
listened to it beat from behind his back.
“Because it is wrong what you are trying to do. It is as if you are taking dad’s anger out on her,” Helel
yelled back, but Zane let out a scoff to mock Helel’s response.
“That is enough! You said you wanted to speak to her but till now, you have only shown aggression,”
Akin finally broke his silence, but I wasn’t satisfied with his reaction. He took all that time to call out
Maddox. If Helel hadn’t stepped forward, I bet everybody else would have stood there and watched
Maddox beat me up.
“Because Helel over here is protecting her like a good stepbrother,” Zane commented. I reckoned he
had something to say when he scoffed earlier.
“Or maybe like a good mate.” Those words from his mouth stunned everyone. A gasp from Maddox’s
lips terrified me.
“I am shocked that you two have been calling out Maddox only when she has been feeling mate bond
left and right and then told me all about it just so that she can get a reaction out of me,” Zane
continued, but this time he took it too far. He was now lying too.
“What-why would she do that?” Akin hadn’t come out of shock when Zane’s answer to him left him
frozen.
“Because I am also her mate,”
