Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 695

Chapter 695: 695-It Went South

Helanie:

"You were supposed to tell me everything, Norman," I hissed again, "and now that you are here, do ask your mother about the curse and why she kept most of it from us," I grunted, leaving for the hotel when he tried to hold my hand.

"I never asked you to hit or hurt your brother, Norman. I expected you to tell me the truth so that I can decide when I want to have a talk with Emmet. So that I wouldn’t have to feel guilty about everything," I repeated myself and at this point, I felt like I was just a broken record.

"Now let me go, I can’t stand you or anyone at the moment," I uttered, freeing my hand and walking away. I heard him still follow after me even after I was in front of my hotel room.

I stayed with my mom for the rest of the night. The next morning, we decided to head back home.

"What are you going to do now?" my mother asked, gently placing her hand over mine.

"I’ll just go and maybe confront Emmet. I’m not sure yet," I said, looking out the window. Every time I thought about it, tears welled up in my eyes.

"Are you sure? you can stay anywhere, I’ll come with you," my mother asked, but I started shaking my head.

"I don’t want to exaggerate it too much. I’ll confront Emmet alone, and then I’ll just return to the Academy. There’s an upcoming trip, and we all agreed we need to be our happy selves for Gavin. It’ll be his first time out since he lost his mate," I mumbled, trying to hold back my tears.

This trip wasn’t going to be about me. It was going to be about Gavin. He needed to know his friends were with him.

"Oh, I understand. How is he now?" she asked.

"He’s doing great. Mostly just focused on getting revenge for it."

Even though I had no idea who he planned to take revenge on. I guessed his main goal was to help take down X-codex with us.

"Okay, but please be careful out there," my mother said as she gently squeezed my hand.

It was strange seeing her care so much after everything that had happened. But I think I liked it. I really needed her by my side now, and she had promised to tell me everything.

"Mom," I uttered, and she smiled.

It was probably just as strange for her to hear me say it as it was for me to call her that.

"You didn’t tell me something. There was a moment when Darcy mentioned a ’pure werewolf.’ What does that mean?" I asked.

I watched my mother’s smile fade.

"Honey, once you come back, I’ll tell you. For now, just know that you’re special," she said, and I nodded.

I wanted to ask again, but I let it go for now. I was too tired, and there was already too much on my mind.

The rest of the car ride went fine. We made a few stops to eat, and every time we did, Norman and Kaye’s car would stop right behind us. They never got out, but they kept watching us, and every time I saw their car, I felt like I was losing my mind.

Our car arrived first at the mansion because Norman was purposely driving slowly to keep an eye on us. The moment the car stopped, I jumped out. But I couldn’t get past the main entrance, as Maximus was standing there.

The second he saw me, he opened his arms to hug me, but when he noticed the look on my face, he slowly lowered them.

"I heard you marked Kaye," he said, confused as to why I looked so furious.

I stopped, gave him a look, then turned and walked away.
