Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates - Chapter 311

Chapter 311: 311-Saving My Mate

Helanie:

I left Emmet’s room in panic and stood in the corridor, staring at the sky while panicking. I was quickly trying to find a solution.

There was only one solution to this problem…

“Come on, pick up my calls,” I hissed as I held my phone tightly against my ear, calling Norman.

I had made up my mind. This was the exact reason I went into Emmet’s room. I wanted to know if it was him or not. And now that I knew it was him, I had to alert Norman about what Sage and the others were planning for the Lycan.

“Ugh!” Norman didn’t respond, so I called Maximus and even Kaye. But none of them answered. I headed to my room and sat down, hearing the Lycan in the distance.

“It was Emmet all this time,” I cupped my face in my hands, wondering why I didn’t realize it sooner.

Of course, it was him.

My mate!

It made sense.

But I wondered if Emmet, in his Lycan form, doesn’t remember anything when he transitions back into his human form?

And why the heck was he cursed?

Why was the Moon Goddess so harsh on him? Could that be why he drinks so much? He’s probably trying to hide his pain.

So many thoughts and worries consumed me that I didn’t realize when I had dozed off while sitting straight on the bed. I woke up just as I was about to lie down unconsciously.

“Ah!” Gasping for air, I jolted awake, and another horror struck me when I looked at the light outside the window.

“Shit!” Cursing at myself, I got out of bed and grabbed my shoes. I couldn’t believe I dozed off. Sage had told me she would go fetch the cameras early in the morning.

I began to type a text for Sage, trying to get a heads-up.

Me: Did you already leave the house to go grab the cameras?

I worriedly bit my bottom lip while sending the text. I knew the wise thing would be to wait a little for her text so that I don’t go and get busted by her. What if she’s at the caves too when I arrive?

But I didn’t care. I could make up a lie later. I left my room, planning to grab the camera myself. The darkness was still covering half the sky, but it would stay for a little while. I managed to get out of the gate fine after telling the guards I was going for an early jog. They only cared until it was two hours past midnight.

As soon as I hit the road, I began to hear footsteps behind me. They were heavy and determinedly chasing after me.

That was another issue with living in the rogue community. You never know when a monster is coming after you in the dark. I couldn’t even wish for the sun to come out soon because that would mean Sage would have already obtained the cameras.

As I sped up, the horror behind me increased its speed as well. Now, it was right behind me, definitely coming for me.

“Get away from me!” I screamed and tried to run when a hand grabbed my arm, stopping me from escaping. He was so strong that I swear he lifted me off my feet while pulling me back.

“Ouch!” I groaned as I got to my feet and faced the so-called monster.

“Norman!” I sighed, placing a hand on my chest when I realized it was just the monster from home.

“What are you doing sneaking out like that?” He placed his hands on his waist, making me realize he was indeed angry about something.

What have I done to upset him now?

“I called you several times! Why didn’t you pick up?” I groaned, angrily pointing at my phone. He cocked his head and closed his eyes as if trying to process what I was asking.

“You are not—I am not responsible for answering you,” he muttered through his clenched jaw.

I noticed his dress shirt and pants and grimaced. “You’re always in a suit?”

He let out a sigh, pinching the bridge of his nose. “So what exactly is your problem? Me wearing a suit or not answering your calls?”

With a very determined and loud voice, I yelled, “You!”

Then I paused and corrected myself. “I meant the Lycan.”

His eyes shot wide. “Why are you talking about the Lycan again? Don’t—don’t tell me your reason for leaving the mansion so early is the Lycan.” There was a threat in his tone. He had warned me about staying away from trouble.

“It is, and you should definitely stop asking questions and start following me.” I pointed at him and briskly started walking again.

“Helanie, stop giving me orders and tell me what’s going on. Where are we heading?” He came after me, huffing and puffing.

“Okay, listen, don’t get angry—” I closed my eyes, giving up on walking for a moment.

“What did you do?” he questioned in a low, ‘ready to kill’ tone.

“One of us might have put cameras in the cave,” I admitted, and he narrowed his eyes, silently asking for details. “In the Lycan’s cave.”

I finished, and the look on his face said it all. He looked petrified.

“And I know who the Lycan is,” I added, watching him take another blow from me like a champ.

“Helanie—what the fuck are you talking about?” he gasped, his breathing becoming erratic.

“You guys put cameras—why? And what do you plan to do with them?” he asked, now walking past me even faster than I was.

“Nothing—I don’t plan to do anything with them. I want to destroy the footage.”

As soon as I said that, he slowed down and turned to watch me with so many questions on his face.

“Because I know it’s Emmet. Emmet is the Lycan, isn’t he?”

That question alone thickened the tension in the air. I could see his eyes starting to get teary.

“We need to get that camera out of that cave before somebody else does,” he uttered in a very low and sad tone.
