Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates - Chapter 224

Chapter 224: 224-One Of Us Is Gone

Helanie:

“I wish I knew already, but Helanie–I am here for you. What I couldn’t do for my sister, I will do it for you,” he hugged me so tight and said such comforting things that my own family never did.

I had been crying on his chest for almost an hour and said whatever happened to me that night and then when I went home. I told him all about how my family wanted me dead and that I escaped to join the academy and take revenge.

He listened so sweetly and attentively, but also interrupted a lot with his reaction. I could tell listening is not his best pursuit without reacting with anger.

“Listen, I will not let that asshole harm you ever again. I will do the worst imaginable things to him,” Lamar said, breaking the hug to cup my face in his hands.

“Sullivan is an asshole. Forget about that brother of yours, I am your brother from now on. I will take care of you,” he had such a comforting voice and honestly speaking, he sounded like more family than my own family.

“I was so tired of keeping all this secret in me but, Lamar. You know Jenny is innocent, right? She should not become the collateral damage,” I said as I remembered why he had told Rayden at the ground that his mate slept with him. It was his way of causing pain to Rayden.

“I know but it was needed. It is just the beginning for him, Helanie,” he muttered under his breath.

“What about the other guy, you said they told you there were two DNAs found on her. Did they say anything about the other guy? Like–do you know how we can find the other guy?” I inquired, and he sighed in exhaustion.

“I have no clue. They refused to give any information. They just said it was unknown DNA, but I have a plan. If we can get access to any of the packs and somehow get their alphas to let us see through their royal records, we might find something on the DNA. The DNA result was sent to many packs for a match so–I am hoping,” he uttered, biting his bottom lip as he too didn’t know how we are going to achieve this goal.

“Ah! But right now, we need to help Jenny out of his grasp,” I mumbled. “She will ask you for the hair; what are you going to say to her?” I questioned, and he sniffed hard.

“I have a plan for that one too. Rayden loves to humiliate his victims,” Lamar uttered in his mouth, almost like he was too busy thinking of a plan. “I am going to cause him humiliation.”

The idea sounded good, but I wanted to know how.

“May I know how?” I asked, and he chuckled.

“I know some red-headed she-wolves,” he smirked as he looked me in the eye.

I kind of knew what he was thinking. “Let’s start with slow and painful death for this one before we find the others and punish them.”

He smiled, and after so long, I smiled thinking about the revenge. I wasn’t alone. I had my brother now.

“Let’s go. We need to wake up early and then get some work done. Besides, that Lucy–do you think she is fine?” Now that we got it off our chests, we got up from the ground to head back to our dorm room. He had his arm wrapped around my shoulder, making me feel like a bro.

He was so cool and sweet, and the fact that we met through such a horrible way and made friends was just fate.

We walked together like real siblings, but it appeared as though the Moon Goddess was never happy with our progress from the trauma. The minute we entered the dorm room, we were shocked to find the lights on and Lucy’s bed empty.

“Maybe she is in the bathroom,” Lamar rushed over to the bathroom, but it was empty.

“Lamar! She was not feeling well. It is not a good–,” I began to panic right away. My heart was racing inside my chest, my mind unable to comprehend anything.

“Hey, she must be around somewhere. Maybe she went to Gavin’s room?” he inquired, and I nodded, letting him go ahead to look for Lucy in Gavin’s room. But I had another big fear.

I ran to the elevator, but when I got inside, there was no tenth floor button. I had been in a lot of despair tonight because of recalling all the details of the night. I was devastated, so the button should have appeared. But it didn’t.

I went up and down twice, and many more times.

“Helanie, what are you doing?” Lamar was waiting for me on the ground floor as I was ready to hit the buttons again.

“Did you find any information on Lucy from the guard at the entrance?” I inquired, rubbing my palms anxiously.

“He said no one left tonight,” Lamar got in the elevator and kept staring at my face as I pressed all the buttons.

“Lamar, Lucy must be on the tenth floor. I got a feeling that she–,” I anxiously spoke, finding it annoying when the button didn’t appear. We were now back on our floor, and Lamar stopped me from getting in the elevator again.

“Helanie, there is no tenth floor,” he argued. “Maybe she has returned to the room?”

He was dragging me to the room because he must think I have lost my mind. But why the heck was the button not appearing?

“Lamar, there is a tenth floor. Both Lucy and I had been to that floor. There is some entity that lives there, and it tells all the beautiful things that a distraught soul wants to hear. Lucy was fascinated with it as it appeared for her right after she found out she had been cheated on by Gavin–,” I was yapping and yapping when we heard a scream from above us.

We both looked up and then at the window. A body fell down from the top, and instantly I started breaking down.
