Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates - Chapter 239

Chapter 239: 239-Tasting Her Again

Lamar:

I instantly shook my head to dismiss any ideas getting in her head. There was no way Rayden was stupid enough to get caught like that. He was a cunning man, so he did it meticulously.

“Okay, you have to listen to me very carefully now. He did it on purpose. He wanted you to see that he is showing interest in your friend so that you distance yourself from Helanie, and he gets to manipulate you after separating you from everyone in your life who might be the reason you’re gaining courage to stand up against him,” I spoke with much confidence, as I knew what was happening. Rayden was playing mind games now.

I had to make sure Jenny understands that Helanie has nothing to do with Rayden taking interest in her. But I couldn’t tell her the entire truth about me and Helanie’s revenge against Rayden. The reason was simple. People in Jenny’s life could have an influence on her.

So it was dangerous to let her in on any of our plans.

“What? But why?” she looked confused.

“It is something narcissistic abusers do. They distance their victims from their families and friends so that the victims think their abuser is their only hope. And Rayden must have noticed that Helanie is close to me and must have thought Helanie knew you and I were going to— And you know the rest,” I itched the back of my neck when mentioning our one night together.

“Oh! I will never doubt Helanie though. I’ll be concerned for her if he were to be involved with her. Rayden is not a good person,” she uttered under her breath.

Thankfully, she had stopped crying at least.

“I’ve been thinking about Lucy. I got the update from my father that—,” she made me curious because we hadn’t been told anything about Lucy’s condition till now.

“Lamar, she went into a coma,” Jenny’s eyes quickly filled with tears due to obvious reasons.

My heart went out for Lucy. She got played by everyone around her. First her mate Gavin, then Jenny and even us. We messed up when we kept on telling her that she was wrong about Jenny and Gavin.

“Well,” I uttered, having nothing to add.

“Helanie will never talk to me again after this,” Jenny had a tiring tone, her eyes kept getting filled with new tears.

“She will be angry, but I know she wouldn’t blame you. She is blaming someone else,” I remembered the tenth floor. I was kind of intrigued about it.

And it’s not like Helanie was lying. Quick thinking would confirm Helanie’s accusation.

Helanie would occasionally go missing when taking the elevator, and I always thought she was in the basement because once the elevator showed going down to the basement.

Same with Lucy.

If Lucy was on the rooftop, then who opened and locked the door after her?

“Do you know something?” Jenny noticed me zoning out and questioned.

“Helanie said something that kind of stole my attention,” I cleared my throat, shifting to sit up straight now.

“What about it?” she asked.

“Jenny, there is a tenth floor apparently in the hostel that can only be seen by those who take the elevator when they are distressed,” I watched her look lost. “Yeah, I know you wouldn’t believe it. But Helanie claims to have been to the tenth floor, and Lucy did too before she—Helanie believes the tenth floor is what stole Lucy from us,” I probably confused her even more.

She just kept staring at my face before I noticed her eyes growing wider with every passing second as if she acknowledged something.

“Oh my Goddess!” Jenny truly scared me with her reaction.

“What? What is it?” I jumped in my spot, accidentally getting too close to her. There was barely any space left between our faces as we stared into each other’s eyes.

“When I got the admission, my mother sat me and my brother down to have a talk with us. She specifically told us to never take the elevator. Well, her reasoning to us was that the elevator is often for the weak ones, but then later, she sat me down and told me to never take the elevator and go to the floors that are not mentioned by the trainers,” she stopped talking to see my reaction.

I was slightly lost because I had heard Sydney tell me that it is a thing that powerful werewolves don’t take elevators.

So probably that’s why Jenny’s mother forbade her, and she was thinking too much into it now?

“But there is another crazy part about my mother,” she added once she noticed I wasn’t too intrigued by her findings. “My mom used to be a student of the VS, but she quit in the middle after one of her friends died in the hostel.” As she finished this time, she got the look from me that she had been anticipating.

“You need to have a talk with your mother,” I cupped her face excitedly, probably thinking if we could get some more information about the tenth floor, maybe we could help Lucy wake up?

“I will,” she replied with the same happiness.

“Oh Jenny, if we can help Lucy get up, imagine what it will do for Helanie. She will be so happy,” as I said that, I noticed Jenny’s smile disappear.

“Oi! What happened?” Wondering at her reaction, I couldn’t help but ask her directly.

“Do you—do you like Helanie too?” I couldn’t find jealousy or anger in her eyes, just a little sadness.

“I do, like a sister. Jenny, she is—she is my sister from now on,” as I murmured, Jenny’s smile returned, but this time, she took a step forward and crashed her lips against mine out of the blue. I was shocked for a solid two seconds, but then I deepened the kiss with her.

Her hands landed on my chest, showing how excited she was to be in my bed again.

I wanted to stop it, remembering what Helanie has told me about Jenny. She warned me about using Jenny in our revenge.

But what if I genuinely want to touch her?

I didn’t plan to tell Penn or Rayden about this encounter, so I grabbed her tiny waist and pulled her closer, shoving my tongue in her mouth, which she happily accepted.
