Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 692

Chapter 692: 692-Oh My Mother, Glad To Have You Back

Helanie:

"Mom," I don’t know what came over me, but seeing my mother, after knowing I couldn’t be a mom because their brother had taken that chance from me, made me vulnerable and craving her attention all over again.

And strangely enough, this time— she was ready to give me that love. She rushed over and knelt in front of me, hugging me tightly.

Her hug was so soothing at that moment that I broke down crying into her chest.

"Oh, so now you care about her?" Darcy’s voice cut through the air with a weird disbelief as she questioned my mother’s love for me.

"I always did."

As soon as my mother said that, I broke the hug and looked at her face, then turned to Darcy, watching for her reaction. She looked like she had seen a ghost.

"Oh, you fucking fooled us all," Darcy snapped. The way she clenched her fists and shook them toward my mother gave me goosebumps.

The two of them locked eyes in a fierce stare-off, and surprisingly, it was my mother who was smirking through her tears.

"I had to do whatever it took to keep her away from you," my mother growled.

But the shock on Darcy’s face was quickly replaced by a nasty smirk.

"But were you able to do it? From what I see, it’s only gotten worse. Your daughter is back exactly where I wanted her. She’s so close to me—to my sons. Ah! In case you didn’t know, your daughter has marked all my sons. She’s their marked mate," Darcy said, her tone dripping with poison.

Her words stunned not just me, but the brothers too. We all exchanged uneasy glances. So Emma didn’t lie when she said my mother was coming here to confront Darcy,

"What?" My mother looked completely lost. "Don’t tell me—"

She pushed my hair off my shoulder, and when she saw the mark, she closed her eyes in pain.

"I’ve failed again."

I didn’t understand what was happening. They were talking in code, and I couldn’t make sense of it.

"What is going on? Did you lie to us about the curse?" Norman yelled at his mother.

Of course he had to lash out somewhere because he knew I couldn’t trust him again.

"Ask me about the curse," my mother said as she stood, helping me to my feet as well.

"Oh please. What do you know?" Darcy hissed, arms stubbornly crossed, eyes blazing as if daring my mother to speak.

"I know what you told me. That one day, you would kill my daughter, and if you couldn’t, your sons would. The daughter I love the most." My mother’s simple words revealed so much.

For a moment, I think everyone was stunned because hearing my mother talk about the curse was something Darcy had never told us.

"What do you mean?" Norman asked, his voice low, while Kaye clenched his jaw tightly.
