Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates - Chapter 393

Chapter 393: 393-I Will Be The New Helanie
Charlotte:

Flashback:

“But I am his mate, I am chosen by the Moon Goddess,” I kept my frustration inside and continued to speak softly, giving the hint of being gentle and timid.

Darcy sized me up and then scoffed, turning her head to the man on her side before the two started laughing at me.

“You really wish to become a lycan’s mate?” she hissed. The smile on her face was fake, and I could tell why. She didn’t like the fact that I knew Maximus’ truth. That also made me vulnerable to her anger.

If she suddenly realized I could be a threat, she might want to get rid of me. The only thing that would hold her back is that she had no idea who else I had told. So if she gets rid of me, and my mother knew about Maximus, she would come forward and tell everyone.

Well, my mother did know everything. I never hide anything from her.

“I am,” I replied.

“Hm, do you know the risks of being his mate?” she folded her arms and started to stare at her nails.

“I believe so, but I am not afraid of him. I am ready to do anything for him,” I noticed her raising her eyes from her nails and watching me.

“Okay, since you put it that way,” she nodded her head, causing my heart to fill with hope. She got up and walked over to me, fixing my hair and then giving me a good look, even walking around me and examining me.

“Okay then, I will put my faith in you. But you will have to please my son in any way you are asked to,” she stopped before me and agreed, causing a huge smile to form on my lips.

I quickly began to nod my head.

I would do anything for him. Literally, anything.

End Of Flashback:

The others had gone to his room, and Maximus arrived late. He looked so tired. I was right at the entrance with the lasagna plate.

“Maximus,” I uttered to get his attention since I was afraid he was so lost in his thoughts that he might have walked through me at this point.

He stopped and looked at the lasagna plate. “I am not hungry.”

The minute he began to walk past me, I felt my heart stop. I turned and gulped, watching him go.

It was at this moment that I realized I wasn’t special. There was nothing interesting about me for him to pay attention to.

I hated that feeling.

If only I were special, he would be spending time with me, focusing on me, and even trying to solve my mystery.

Enraged, I went back to my room and threw the plate on the table. My mother rushed out from the bathroom to check on me and realized Maximus had ignored me yet again.

“It is okay, he will come around,” my mother’s reassurance didn’t help. She had been saying this for a while, and nothing had been fixed.

“He must still miss Helanie. And why not? He gets to see her every day, train, and become a better version of herself. And look at me, I’m still the same annoying little she-wolf who can’t even cook,” I hissed, stamping my feet while tears started to form in my eyes.

“Is that all? Do you think if you became something, he would notice you?” The slight excitement in my mother’s voice made me turn my head to her and watch her without blinking.

“Do you have something in mind?” I inquired.

“I believe so,” she pouted. “Why don’t you ask them to hire you as a receptionist at the academy or Maximus’ secretary?”

I was excited for it until I realized there was nothing interesting about it.

“That would do,” I lied, pretending excitement for my mother, but deep down, I knew this wasn’t what I wanted to do to get his attention.

“Then don’t worry and go to bed. I will speak with McQuoid in the morning,” she smiled, giving me a kiss on the forehead before leaving for her room. However, I stayed awake. After I had taken a shower and was in my nightgown, I called Darcy.

“Do you know what time it is?” she hissed from the other side, sounding sleepy and groggy.

“Your son is ignoring me,” I said, lying in my bed and staring at the ceiling.

“And? You want me to beg him to notice you? You’re not very attractive, what can I do with that?” Her words stung. But I had to swallow her insults. Once I get Maximus on my side and make him fall hard in love with me, I’ll show her what insults really are.

“He is in love with Helanie,” that was all I needed to say to wake her up.

I swear I could hear her breath catch, and then I added more salt to the wound, “if you see his face, you will know. He is dying to be with her, all he thinks about is her. And I bet if given a choice, he would choose her over everything and everyone.”

I stopped to take a deep breath after making her lose hers.

“What are you willing to do in order to be special to him?” That’s what I wanted to hear. She had briefly mentioned it before, asking what I could do for her son.

My answer remained the same.

“Anything,” I closed my eyes as the tears threatened to fall.

“Good. Then I will send you the instructions. You better not let him go to that bitch’s daughter,” her disdain for Helanie and her mother was going to work in my favor.

“Okay, see you then,” I hung up on her since she was already gone. I bet she had thrown her phone away and was busy breaking stuff.

“I will show you, Helanie, that I am more special than you. I will take back everything. The brothers will take care of me, and Maximus will love me. I will be the new Helanie, the better version,” I determinedly promised myself that I would win this war.
