49 Snešk in Babel
“How?” Mom asked first before Lord Vasquez could even ask us anything. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
“They had recorded some girls and were blackmailing them.” Maddox sat on the couch while Vasquez and Mom were still on the carpet. I was standing awkwardly near the couch.
“How did Beatrice catch them? She is just an innocent little girl,” Mom was sneakily staring at me, pretending to talk to Maddox, but it was odd because I kept getting the impression she was reminding me of that.
“Oh! Well, she is more than that. I mean, she is a pretty vigilante.” Maddox took a sip from the drink when answering my mom. Mom raised her hand for me, and when I accepted her hand, she pulled me so hard that I landed on the floor beside her. But it didn’t seem like that to the others. It looked like she offered me a seat, so I sat down with her. Now that I was sitting with my mom, I was facing Maddox, who was sitting on the couch with his legs spread.
I couldn’t help but look at the bugle. He was carelessly drinking with his father and talking about the whole mess from the party, while my mother was awkwardly running a hand through my hair and my arm.
“How about you guys talk while I catch up with my daughter?” Mom finally excused herself. I saw it happening the instant. her smile faded. It was still a lucky day for me that she waited so long before removing me from their company. I followed her while she kept holding my hand tightly.
Once we were in my room, I found her glaring at me.
“What happened?” she asked, but there was no fake smile on her lips this time. She seemed furious and agitated.
“What he said,” I whispered, reaching into my closet to get my PJs and also so that I could avoid looking her in the eye.
“Beatrice! Tell me what happened. How did you catch them?” She grabbed my arm and pulled me away from the closet. At this point, it was pretty obvious she wasn’t going to let me move on until I answered her.
“Um! There were two guys at the party that were harassing me,” I started talking and nervously playing with my fingers.
“How did you find out they were recording girls?” Her arms folded over her chest, her foot tapping on the floor, her gaze deepening into mine.
“One of them was trying to touch me while the other wanted to record, so Maddox came and helped me. That’s when he saw the videos,” I said, taking big gulps of my salvia to sound normal. It was impossible when she was glaring at me like she was going to eat me alive.
“Oh! And nothing else happened?” She tilted her head even more. Every time she asked me a question, I felt my heart. racing in my chest.
It was becoming a little difficult to be with her. She would bombard me with so many questions that I would feel suffocated. However, I was still thankful for her love and care.
“No!” I lied.
“You look messy. Did something else happen?” she insisted to know and the fact that she kept asking me made me feel like maybe she sensed something else happened.
“No!” I lied again.
“Hm! I got you some new medications. You eat them, and they will make your wolf lazy. You don’t have to make your wolf fall asleep entirely anymore. But remember, you need to take them at all costs. It also means you will not hear from your wolf, but because the brothers were crying about the ingredients, I decided to get you something mild. Go take them,” she said, as she pointed at the nightstand. It was the same pill bottle. I walked over and grabbed the pill, staring at it and trying to spit out the difference.
They looked exactly like the previous ones. I took a pill to avoid ruining her mood any further than I already had. It was crazy because she told me to take these pills when I had already taken one in the morning.
“So I don’t need to take a pill in the morning anymore?” I asked her, putting the bottle down after taking the pill. “You will be taking two pills from now on. One in the afternoon and one in the evening because these pills are fairly less effective, you will need two. Now go change and get ready for bed.” She looked stern and scary that night. Hence, I couldn’t ask her if she was going to sleep in the room with me.
I nodded and grabbed the PJs to rush into the bathroom. I just didn’t understand why I wanted her to sleep with Vazquez tonight.
Was I really looking forward to Maddox coming into my room? We did a lot in the car, but because it was an open area, we couldn’t do too much.
What limits will we cross when he is in my room, and why did he want to come to my room all of a sudden?
I wonder what happened to him not wanting to do anything with his stepsister.
Thinking about him, I walked under the shower, naked. As I was washing, I remembered his touch, and a smile crept over my lips.
I ran my hands all over my body, remembering his touch and feeling my body getting hot. My hand slipped between my legs, and I touched my vagina. I almost jumped and let out a shriek. I have never done that before, but I remember Zane telling me how to do it.
“Should I do it? But what if Maddox comes to the room tonight and I am already exhausted? What then? He will get upset and will probably think I am not interested,” I asked myself and instantly pulled my hand away from between my legs.
“I will let him do it for me.” I bit my bottom lip excitedly. I was very excited to meet Maddox tonight. I heard the bedroom door open and close again. So I knew who came this time.
