Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates - Chapter 247

Chapter 247: 247-In the Pack Of The Guy Who Has A Crush On Me

Helanie:

Of course she wanted to argue further but she knew she had already messed up when doing so before, hence, she remained huffing and puffing.

After I told Charlotte my decision, I left the mansion because I had to meet up with Lamar. He had called me and asked me to meet him near the mountains for a talk.

“Last night was such a mess at the mansion. The lycan keeps showing up,” I said as I got out of the car and met Lamar, who was waiting for me with a box of donuts in his hands.

He also had a small bag with him, which made me wonder if he was going somewhere.

“That lycan is a story on its own,” Lamar shook his head, offering me a donut and then the bag.

“You want me to carry your bag? So rude,” I joked, eyeing the bag.

“Haha, so cruel of me. But take it. I don’t want to see you wearing the same clothes all the time,” he joked, but it made me realize he’d brought me more clothes.

“No, Lamar, I don’t want to take gifts from you like that,” I said, shaking my head but happily taking the donut. When it comes to food, egos should not be involved.

“Hey, don’t flatter yourself. It’s not a gift. I just don’t want you looking like you don’t have clothes. Please take it. You can repay me by helping me with my revenge,” he said, seeming to be in a good mood, or maybe he was just trying to act happy.

With much hesitation, I grabbed the bag. After checking out the clothes, I felt even guiltier.

“I’ll pay you back for these clothes,” I said, thankful to have a friend, a brother, who was so honest and thoughtful. But I’d make sure to do something for him in return soon.

“Let’s talk about Penn,” he switched the subject, making me raise my brow. I leaned back to check if the driver was still in the car, and he was.

We started walking away from the car, taking a little stroll.

“It was strange. I noticed that myself,” I told Lamar exactly what I’d been thinking.

“What do you think we should do?” he asked.

“Lamar, you once told me that the DNA sample was sent to every pack for a match, right? And they checked the Fellmoon Academy students’ DNA samples, but what if the reason they couldn’t find a match was that the perpetrator wasn’t from Fellmoon Academy?” The thought of Penn being a person of interest shook me to my core. But anyone involved with Rayden could possibly be the culprit.

“Hmm, but they said none of the samples matched, and we know Rayden was a confirmed case,” Lamar corrected me, giving me a bit of hope that maybe it was just a coincidence and Penn could be innocent.

“Well, then, how about we do our own investigation?” I asked Lamar, raising my eyebrow.

“But we’ll need to get those samples first,” Lamar said thoughtfully.

“Hmmm, Jenny wants us to visit his pack and—Penn shows interest in me. In fact, he once asked me out, so what if—” I watched him shake his head as he dismissed the idea.

“Nope! If Penn is involved in this case, I don’t think I’ll let you get close to him, so drop the idea,” he warned me, but I had to convince him. We couldn’t keep acting like I was some fragile girl who needed saving while Lamar did all the hard work.

“Lamar, I’m doing this for me and your sister. She couldn’t come back home that night, but I did. And I’m sure I did it for a reason. Someone has to catch these assholes, and I don’t want to stay in the shadows, hiding from their darkness. I want to try, and I promise you, if anything goes wrong, or if I think it’s going wrong, I’ll ask you for help right away,” I insisted, but I could tell he still wasn’t ready for it.

“We’ll talk about it later. First, guess what I have in my hand,” he pulled out the plastic bag with the red hair from his pocket.

“That’s the red hair,” I murmured.

“Not just any red hair. These are from the head of the most scandalous hooker around,” he finished, making my eyes pop in shock.

“How did you—” I stopped myself when I remembered what he did for a living. Or his side job.

“Yes, that’s how I got it. And guess what? Even though the packs hate her, the dealers do too because she’s so messy, she’s a sweetheart. She’ll be on board whenever I give her a call,” I watched Lamar smirk widely, making me believe he knew exactly what he was doing.

“We’ll take him down slowly,” I muttered in approval.

“But first, he’ll witness all the horrors come to life, and then—he’ll beg for death himself,” Lamar said, making me smile at him again.

“How about we go visit Jenny in her pack? I want to talk with her about the tenth floor,” I said, ready to go there as long as Lamar was with me.

“Sure, let’s do it,” he gave me a nod, and we headed to the car. He let Jenny know we were coming, so she had already told the warriors at the border to let us in.

Even though it was a long ride, I didn’t feel tired or exhausted. I was so excited to see Rayden’s face when he got his first blow.

It will be iconic. Every day, he’ll pray to the Moon Goddess for hope and will to live, but every day will be a new challenge for him.

Jenny was waiting for us at the border, and she hopped into the car with us to take us to her mansion. I did hear her ask Lamar why the trainers were letting me use their car and have a personal chauffeur.

I guess the questions will be raised soon by everyone, so I’ll need to cut back on using Maximus’s car everywhere.
