Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 656

Chapter 656: 656-She Looks Pure

Helanie:

"Do you remember us?" Norman asked, looking around the room. Emmet ran his fingers through his wet hair before quickly grabbing a chair and placing it in front of me, gently tapping on it while looking at me.

I didn’t take it and turned my attention to Azura. Standing in the room with his lost love, I felt small. This was the same reason he had forgotten about me when I needed him the most. So he didn’t have to act like he now remembered me.

"I never forget the people I call family," she said. Her voice was so soft and raspy that even I got goosebumps.

"Honey, sit here," Maximus grabbed another chair and placed it next to me, whispering in my ear. I gave him a nod and sat down while Norman took the seat Emmet had placed for me.

"I see a new face too. I don’t think we’ve met before," she smiled, looking right at me, and I felt a chill run down my spine.

"She’s my mate," the voice came from behind me. Emmet introduced me and wiped the smile off her face.

"You found your fated mate?" she asked him, sounding really sad.

"Yeah," Emmet replied. The awkward silence lasted for a few minutes before Emmet added, "and she’s also a North Queen. And a bit of an attitude queen."

Norman and Maximus laughed and nodded, like they agreed, but I felt like Azura didn’t enjoy hearing Emmet talk about me.

"So you two are together now?" she asked, her face looking a little pale.

"No," Emmet replied again, "but I’m working on it. One step at a time. I’ll probably win her heart back." I was shocked that he was talking about me with her like that.

I thought he would wish I had disappeared so he could enjoy his moment with his true love.

"He’ll have to take big steps or jump because she’s married to Norman." I don’t know what kind of bug bites Maximus sometimes, but he does some really questionable things. The moment he said that, Azura seemed to relax a bit, but also looked confused. Meanwhile, Norman and Emmet both stared at Maximus, who was smirking just a little. He leaned over to me and whispered, "Watch them argue after this."

I rolled my eyes at Maximus before sliding to the edge of my seat.

"Azura! I heard you died. Can you tell us anything about what happened?" I noticed her expression had changed after my introduction. She wasn’t trying to give a weak smile anymore, she was trying to hold back tears.

"I don’t know why I’m alive either. I remember being swallowed by darkness and then waking up in the middle of the woods, like someone had brought me back. I don’t remember much, just a faint memory of someone whispering in my ear," she spoke softly, her eyes fixed on the wall and her brows furrowed as she tried hard to recall the details of her awakening.
