Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates - Chapter 255

Chapter 255: 255-Emmet’s Bracelet For The Rescue

Helanie:

Norman watched my face in silence before walking back and sitting in the driver’s seat. At least he was willing to do something good for once. I stayed silent throughout the ride. Thankfully, no one bothered me, and I made it to my room, where I stayed for the rest of the day and even into the next.

I guess the brothers were too tired to deal with another mess. I wore black jeans and a black turtleneck from the bag Lamar had given me. I’d received a text from Lamar, and we were going to visit Lucy in the hospital.

My hair was in a messy braid, with my curtain bangs loosely framing my forehead and face.

I left my room and went straight to the exit, not planning to take the car. I didn’t want the brothers to face harsh questions or rumors because of me.

Outside the main gate, I was greeted by Lamar, who was sitting on his bike, holding a helmet for me.

“Hey,” I greeted, taking the helmet.

“Whoa! So black’s your color,” he complimented.

“Who looks bad in black?” I replied. It wasn’t a lie. Taking his helmet, I sat behind him on the bike and smiled, remembering the first time I’d ridden with him. Who would’ve thought we’d become such close acquaintances?

We arrived at the hospital in two hours since the pack’s border was now under strict security. Benita must be waiting to reclaim the title of Lady of the Pack once her son wins the rank again.

“She’s that way,” Lamar said after speaking to the nurse at the station, who told him Lucy was doing well. By ‘doing well,’ she meant Lucy was now sleeping peacefully.

My heart pounded in my chest as I approached her private room, assigned specifically because she was a student of the RVS.

We entered her room to find her hooked up to multiple machines. I instantly wanted to break down, but I held my emotions in, making sure that if she could hear me, she’d know we were hopeful for her return.

“Hey, Luce!” Lamar and I said in unison, almost smiling, but the tears were visible in our eyes.

“We miss you so much.” I ran my finger along the back of her hand and noticed how cold she was.

She had so many bandages on her body from the fall. If only she could wake up, just one moment of her waking up would be enough for her to be fine again.

“You know, they gave us some time off. And the lycan is terrorizing the rogue community,” I continued, waiting for a response from her. But she remained silent.

“Obviously, the clever lycan is seen as a myth, just like everything else,” Lamar added, smiling as he gently placed his hand on her bandaged forehead.

The door opened, and someone walked in, instantly souring Lamar’s mood.

“I came here to see her,” Jenny said, looking like she had been through a lot too.

“Huh! Are you sure that’s why you’re here? I mean, you could be hiding something, like always,” Lamar’s harsh tone made her eyes fill with tears.

“Please, Helanie, tell him. You know I would never harm you guys. I didn’t know what my parents were planning. When I told the warriors on the border to let you two in, my father got informed. He was on an ongoing call with my mother—” she quickly tried to explain when Lamar silenced her by pointing a finger at her.

“Not one more word. You’ve proven to be a liar, Jenny. You’re a coward—” I squeezed his hand hard to stop him.

“It’s not her fault, Lamar. Do you think she has any say in anything?” I remembered how her father had dragged her to her room during her royal beta training.

“Lamar, please try to understand me. I’m on your side, just believe me,” her eyes spoke for her. They held so much love and hope for Lamar.

“Lamar, come on, don’t be like this. You’re taking your anger out on the wrong person,” I warned Lamar, who rolled his eyes before giving up and pulling Jenny’s hand to bring her into a hug.

“I’m very protective of my sister, Jenny. Just forgive me if I took my frustration out on you,” he spoke softly to her, but I noticed how she closed her eyes when she was in his arms. She truly adored him, I could tell.

But then I smiled at him calling me his sister. That meant a lot to me.

“Anyway,” he cleared his throat and broke the hug when Penn walked in with a bouquet.

“Oh!” He quickly turned his eyes away from me.

“Lamar, how about you and I wait outside while they meet Lucy?” I didn’t want to make things awkward while it was about Lucy.

Lamar and I walked out while the siblings stayed behind.

But I noticed something scary when Dewitt and another man showed up. They walked straight toward us. Right then and there, we knew they were here for trouble.

“Helanie! We’re delighted to find you here. This is Lord Malarkey, Rayden’s father, and we’ve come to take you to the council so that the argument about why your trainers threatened me in my home, and why they want to set you free so bad, can be discussed.”

Dewitt didn’t even take a breath and shook the ground beneath my feet with his intentions for being here.

The moment I heard them and realized how they cornered me, I gently touched my wrist, pressing the button on my bracelet like crazy. I had a very bad feeling about this.

“Let’s go,” Dewitt said, not planning to delay like last time. He was surely mad that the brothers had made him walk me out by threatening to expel their children for me.

“How about no?” Lamar quipped, making them exchange a glance and then smirk at him.

“We knew you would say that. That’s why we came here with the warriors,” Dewitt was the only one talking, while Malarkey kept glaring at me.
