27 The Mate Who Lost His Temper
“What did you say?” Akin looked so offended while Helel was watching me with bulging eyes.
“You wanted to know, I only told you what I knew,” I pulled my body closer, raising my shoulders till they touched my ears, and sat like a scared kitten.
“Our father was an alpha in his time before he took over the role of the leader of the council. Then, after the alpha kings mysteriously lost wars and vanished, there were only alphas left to take care of the packs. The council and all the alphas decided to give my father the power to choose alpha kings because he has proven himself worthy of appreciation many times. Now we are the alpha kings of the north, south, east, and west. Our pack, The Golden Crown, is the chief centre of all the packs, so we take care of matters from here. I am in charge of the Northern packs, Helel takes care of the Southern packs, Zane is taking care of the Eastern, and Maddox is the alpha king of the Western packs,” Akin didn’t delve more into the comments I made and decided to just teach me instead.
“Oh! I see,” I nodded with little to no interest once again.
“You still didn’t get it, didn’t you?” Helel was having way too much fun. Just when I thought I had convinced Akin that I understood whatever he taught me, Helel jumped in. “Repeat whatever Akin taught you,” he asked, and my face changed colors.
Akin stared at Helel and then looked my way as he waited for me to answer him.
“Helel is — the alpha king of—-,” I hated myself for being so dumb. It was as if the history of our kind didn’t intrigue me.
“Are you for real?” Akin sighed, pulling away from the counter and folding his hands on his chest.
“She is so dumb in the head,” and that comment wasn’t made by any of them. In fact, it was made by someone who I didn’t think would say that about me.
“Zane! When did you come back?” Helel asked him, but I didn’ t turn around to look at his face. His comment deeply upset
“When you guys were wasting your time trying to teach her anything. Do you know she learned nothing in school the other day?” Zane was talking about me without taking my feelings into consideration.
“She takes medications, and they may affect her memory,” Akin immediately defended me.
“But how much can something affect your memory? She is plain stupid. I mean, no offense to her, but she does not know a single thing about herself,” Zane laughed, making fun of me.
“You are not very bright either.” It was then that Helel spoke up, “Tell me why you beat up that club owner?” Now that he was getting investigated, he wasn’t smirking.
The two brothers folded their muscular arms over their chests and stared at Zane, who was at a loss for words.
“He was being rude.” Zane walked past them to the refrigerator to get a bottle of beer when Helel slammed the door shut, not letting him grab the bottle before he answered them.
“You cannot do whatever you want just because you are an alpha king. We are supposed to take care of this pack and the packs that are under our supervision. ” Akin advised him while Zane nodded. I bet he didn’t learn anything either.
“Repeat what Akin just taught you.” The moment I said that, I noticed them turning their heads toward me in silence. They stared at my face for a few seconds before Helel and Akin turned around and started laughing. They were trying to be secretive because Zane was looking at me with an annoyed look on his face.
“Don’t compare me with yourself. I know what he taught me,” Zane grunted and shook his head. He looked furiously at me.
“Okay! Calm down now.” Akin broke the tension by breaking Zane’s icy stare from my face and turning his attention to himself.
“Since there is news of a deadly storm, I don’t want anyone to leave the mansion. We need to stay focused and available just in case we are required for help.” Helel patted Zane’s back after he grabbed his shaker and left the kitchen after Akin. My interaction with Helel and Akin was quite different today than any other day. I began to think maybe they would accept me into their lives if I made slow progress and connected with them. Little did I know, my other mate wasn’t happy about something.
“You think I am dumb?” Zane slammed his hand on the counter before me and shook me into pulling away from him.
“We were all joking,” I responded in a mild tone.
“No! We were not. Just because they laughed at your joke, This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
you started acting like a clown.” Zane’s tall body was bent over the counter as he glared at my face.
“Bu—,” I don’t know why he got so angry at me when it should have been the other way around. Not only did he leave me unattended last night, but he also made some rude comments toward me.
“Shut up! I don’t want to hear from you now,” he warned me as he waved his finger in my face and walked away from the counter.
“Okay! I will go to my room then,” I uttered, and as soon as I turned around to leave, I heard Zane answering someone’s call.
“You are coming home, Maddox?” he asked, but it wasn’t like he was confirming. He seemed stunned.
“Listen, you don’t sound too good right now. How about you calm down first and then—,” Zane stopped talking, and when I turned over to look at him, I found him staring at his phone. Maddox had hung up on him, it seemed.
“You! Go hide in your room.” Zane raised his face and made direct eye contact with me. His command was enough to make me jump out of my skin.
“He is very mad at you.” Zane had a mixture of emotions on his face; he looked petrified.
