Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates - Chapter 151

Chapter 151: 151-So Much Booze And Noise

Helanie:

“The coffee was so good,” Jenny’s mood had changed after going out with us. I felt a little better as well, but still upset because of the way things had escalated and ended with Kaye.

It was so short-lived.

“Anyway, what should we do today? We’re free the whole day, and nighttime is the best! We should check out some cool restaurants,” Jenny said, jumping up and down like a child the whole time.

She was so full of life.

I wondered why her mate had thought about cheating on her. She was kind and understanding too.

“Or maybe we should do something that suits our age. You know, they have bars and crazy nightclubs?” Lamar intervened, turning around to face us as we were walking into the guesthouse.

“Umm, just because we’re now eighteen doesn’t mean we should start drinking and losing control when we’re on a trip from the academy,” Jenny scoffed at him, folding her arms across her chest.

I noticed Lamar rolling his eyes at us before he turned around and entered the guesthouse. The living room was packed with Sydney and her friends.

They had music playing, and Sydney was dancing on the countertop of the kitchen. Salem sat on the couch in the corner, watching everyone.

She was weird.

That silent kid who would judge you hard, and whenever she opened her mouth, she would let you know exactly why she stayed silent all the time.

“Is that Gavin and Lucy?” Jenny pointed in the distance, making me squint my eyes to focus on them. Meanwhile, Lamar joined the dancing party, doing some dirty dance moves and dry-humping the girls who flirted with him.

The girls were so happy for him to join. As always, Penn was absent.

And just as Jenny had pointed out, it was indeed Gavin and Lucy standing in the corner. Some of the girls were trying to drag Gavin away from Lucy to join the crazy party, but she had her arm wrapped tightly around his, stopping him from leaving her.

I felt bad for her.

Gavin was showing a huge change, and I bet Lucy was just trying to match his pace because she was in the era of trying to win his heart again.

“Ew, it smells awful in here,” Jenny covered her nose as the strong alcohol smell hit her. Yep, they had alcohol in here.

I’m not even sure if they had asked permission before planning all this.

“Okay, I need to have a talk with Sydney,” I muttered as I hastily made my way through the crowd to get her attention.

“Sydney! Come down!” I yelled. She rolled her eyes and bent down.

“Why don’t you join me too?”

Her voice was shaky and stuttering. She was heavily drunk.

Who the heck got them this much alcohol?

“Sydney, if you don’t want me to drag you down myself, come down,” I hissed, pointing at the floor, and she finally let out a sigh of exhaustion and jumped down.

She wore a small white top with a deep cleavage and a little red skirt. Her butt cheeks were hanging out.

“What is it? Why are you ruining the mood?” she inquired, tipsy as hell.

“Did you ask Kaye or Lady Darcy before throwing a party and getting booze at her place?” I questioned. I had to yell to even make my voice reach her ears. The music was that loud here.

“Yeah, yeah, I did,” she nodded, dismissing me with a hand gesture.

“Can you show it to me?” I asked, leaning over to her ear.

“Oh, your breath is fresh. You need to drink some of the good stuff to enjoy the party,” she quickly assessed and offered me the bottle she was holding in her hand.

“No, thank you. Can you show me the written permission letter?” I insisted again. I knew I was being a party pooper, but being part of this academy meant a lot to me.

And I didn’t want to mess it up over some booze or a party thrown by an amateur.

I knew my status and position in the academy. If things went south, she would get off easily while I would be burdened with questions.

Lady Darcy would purposely accuse me of being irresponsible while giving Sydney a free pass.

“Ummm–,” Sydney looked away, scratching her chin.

“Please tell me you have a permit letter,” I said, feeling so exhausted as I looked at her clueless expression.

“I have it. I just don’t know where it is,” she leaned over me, fanning her alcoholic breath all over my face and yelling.

“Oh, I remember–” she then extended her entire arm toward Salem on the couch, “she has it. Go ask her.”

She then wiggled her fingers, asking me to leave and bother her sister.

I followed her finger and walked over to Salem, while Jenny hurried after me.

“My brother is outside waiting for me. He wants to go shopping. I’ll be with him. Do you want to come with us?” she whispered in my ear, offering a way to exit. But I had to stay here and make sure the drunk people didn’t cause more issues than they already had.

“You go enjoy. I’ll be with Gavin and Lucy,” I responded in her ear, feeling so nauseated by the air.

Jenny left while I reached Salem, who only raised her brow to show me that I had her attention.

“Sydney said you have the permit letter from Darcy to throw this party and bring alcohol here,” I didn’t have to yell too loudly here. This corner was much quieter.

She had her leg crossed over the other as she shook it.

“Yeah, what about it? You wanna see it?” she asked, straight to the point.

“Yeah, I do. Can you show it to me?” I insisted, and she got up, acting like I had asked her to perform a dance for me.

She led me to her room on the second floor, which was at the end of the hallway. I entered the room with her, but before I could even watch her grab anything, she snatched my phone out of my hand and pushed me onto the bed, running toward the door and slamming it shut.

“What the fuck!” I yelled, terror hitting me when I heard her lock the door from outside.
