Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates - Chapter 215

Chapter 215: 215-Norman Doesn’t Want To Lose Me

Helanie:

“What was Rayden saying? Is it true that your group is getting involved in such immoral actions? Did Lucy cheat on her mate? Did Gavin cheat back on her? Did Jenny cheat on her mate with both the group members?” he phrased it all and made me realize how bad it sounded.

“Helanie, I am not saying I believe in that man when he spoke about you. But you are going to get yourself in a lot of trouble like that. Why is your group so hell-bent on ruining your progress?” My body flinched when he used a bitter tone for my friends.

“You are making it seem like they are doing it on purpose. They were having troubles, and trust me, it is normal in mates,” as I was in the process of explaining about my group to him, his door started getting banged on like someone had to pee inside.

Maximus frowned, even hissed under his breath before answering the door. It was Kaye, who slammed the door open and then got inside, even hitting Maximus with his shoulder as he did so.

“What is going on? Why do you have her here in your bedroom?” Kaye almost yelled before he took a deep breath, swallowed some of his anger, and then opened his eyes to ask the same question in a much better tone this time.

“Why is it that I heard from the warriors that you have asked Sage and Rudy to be the juniors’ instructors because you took Helanie with you?” Kaye placed his palms together, using them to gesture at me and then back at Maximus, a way to control his wrath.

“Something happened on the ground today,” Maximus groaned when being questioned.

“And it was related to Helanie?” Kaye asked, his entire focus on me.

“Yes! Because of that, her group of friends are getting questioned, and guess who is leading in the group? Helanie! Her progress is making her stand out, so when these things get out, she will get bad grades and reputation,” Maximus finally straightened his back to face his brother much more furiously now.

“Huh? What kind of stuff are you hearing?” Now that Kaye heard it was about my reputation, suddenly he was interested in the topic.

“Alpha Rayden made a claim that everyone in her group is sleeping together. The confirmed cases are—Lucy, Gavin, Lamar, and Jenny,” Maximus said their names, and my body felt this urge to defend them hard.

However, there was another knock on the door, and I couldn’t help but lower my hands to show how exhausted I was to see another person coming to see what was going on.

As the door opened, Emmet walked in this time. But the exhaustion on my face changed to embarrassment.

I didn’t want the rumors to be discussed in front of him. He takes me with so much respect that I don’t want to be seen like a whore in front of him.

“What is going on?” Emmet asked in his casual sweet tone. His eyes quickly scanned me to make sure I was fine before he turned to his brothers.

“Oh look! The sleeping prince came out,” Maximus made eye contact with Kaye, who rolled his eyes at the arrival of Emmet.

Wow!

I didn’t know there was trouble between the brothers. The way they were hostile right off the bat towards Emmet was seriously worrisome.

“Helanie! Come with me. I will drop you to the hostel,” Emmet said, avoiding the harsh glares and weird looks from his brothers.

“No! I brought her here to discuss some stuff with her. She will leave when I say so, and not when you decide for her,” Maximus quickly got in his brother’s way, using a much more distasteful tone with him.

“I know what happened. I heard everything. Helanie has nothing to do with it. Those are just teenagers going through a hard phase. Helanie doesn’t have to answer for anything,” Emmet explained, tapping his two fingers onto Maximus’ shoulder to gesture him to step aside and let me pass through.

“How is it not involving her when Rayden used her name too? He was spreading rumors because the reputation of her group is not well. It can get her in trouble,” Maximus yelled, and I saw Kaye shift swiftly to look at me for answers.

“Rayden said her name?” However, I realized the severity of the situation when Emmet sounded concerned.

“Exactly. It sounds odd, and because of the last encounter of the juniors with the seniors, her group is already being mentioned as troublemakers. Where she is doing great things, her friends are busy ruining her reputation,” Maximus explained, putting the blame on my friends once again.

This time, since the door was open, Norman walked in without having to knock on it.

“Seriously? Here?” Norman asked, giving us a tired look.

“And you! What is wrong with your group? Why am I receiving a second complaint in one week from your team?” Norman was much more vocal and loud when questioning me.

“My friends are having some trouble—,” I was shut down when Norman continued.

“First, you guys should have come to us and let us handle the other situation when the seniors attacked you all, instead of planning revenge and assaulting them back. And now—we are getting letters that you are all doing—weird stuff in your dorm rooms,” Norman took a pause, but I believe the thing he censored wasn’t a good one.

“What letters?” Maximus asked Norman, who held up a bunch of anonymous letters to his brothers.

“What is it?” I asked.

“Someone is sending letters saying your group is involved in unholy activities,” Kaye mumbled, reading the letter.

“Who sent these? I am going to—,” Emmet shut up when both Kaye and Maximus shared a glance. That was an odd reaction, and the way Emmet quickly cut off made it even weirder.

“Anyway, I will deal with these, but I don’t want any more complaints. You’re leading our academy by surprise, and I don’t want anyone to mess it up,” surprisingly, Norman pointed at me and yelled. This was the first time he was stubborn about making sure I didn’t lose my progress.
