Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates - Chapter 505

Chapter 505: 505-My In Laws Are A Mess
Helanie:

After Norman told them he married me, everyone just went silent. My mother cried on her knees while Lord McQuoid took care of her. Darcy had no idea who to be angry at or who to be jealous of. Emma and Charlotte looked deeply upset as well. I just sat in my seat with the brothers surrounding me.

Kaye had filled us a glass of wine, and I accepted one because I needed something to keep me calm.

“Let me order you some pizza,” Norman whispered in the loudest voice, and his offer was followed by Darcy scoffing and finally breaking the silence.

“She is not a child. Why do you have to baby her?” she screamed from her couch, her fists clenched.

“Neither are you, Mom, so calm down,” Norman muttered, stepping up and breaking the protective circle they had formed around me.

“You’ve lost your mind! After years of hard work and achieving so much, you went out and chose her?” she wrinkled her nose hard, pretending to gag at the thought of me and her son being together.

“What’s wrong with her?” Maximus folded his arms, reaching his mother’s couch almost like challenging her.

“She’s the one who’s pointed at every alpha she’s met for sex,” her choice of words was so bad that I felt like chugging down the whole glass, so I did.

“The word you’re looking for is gang-raped,” Kaye corrected her, keeping his voice down.

“Huh, hasn’t it been proven that she—” she shut up, and I had a feeling she knew something too. “Well, some did. Others, she enjoyed it with. She’s been through so many guys, yet my most cherished son thought she was the best for him? Oh, goddess, what are we going to say to Jessica?”

“You don’t have to say anything to her. I’ll speak with her,” Norman grunted, but she kept shaking her head. Lord McQuoid helped my mother up and then gestured at Emma, who probably didn’t like that she had to leave and miss the drama, and then in the direction of where their bedroom was.

Emma reluctantly walked over to take my mother away, but she refused to move and stood up to listen to everything.

“Why did you do that, Norman?” Now, this time, Lord McQuoid asked. He even avoided looking my way.

“I felt the mate bond with her,” Norman said out loud for his mother to lift her head and stare at him.

She was no longer crying, and it was a sudden change.

“That is not possible,” she said in a very confident and creepy tone, challenging Norman, who smiled.

The interaction screamed that there was more to the story.

“And why would that be, mother?” he cocked his head, and as his eyes moved to Darcy, she straightened her spine and shrugged.

“I don’t know, but why would the Moon Goddess make her anyone’s mate?” she changed her tone, sounding very low, but not crying or screaming anymore.

“Well, the Moon Goddess surely doesn’t listen to you. So the truth is, I felt the mate bond with her and married her. I would not leave my mate at the mercy of some old man with children or her rapist, which should have been the main topic of conversation—” Norman sighed after the questions and yelling ended.

“Have you watched the video, Father?” As soon as Norman mentioned Zellu, Darcy started silently whimpering again.

“We did,” Lord McQuoid pointed to himself and then looked at my mother. Weirdly enough, my mother had been giving me a direct stare. She had been looking my way with a sad look in her eyes.

“And what do you have to say about that, Father? Do you still believe she’s lying? There’s truth everywhere. Every alpha that she accuses comes out and admits being wrong. Then why is it that she is still not believed?” Norman stood face to face with his father, his head down to match his father’s level.

“The council called,” Lord McQuoid said and sat down, gesturing at Kaye to fill him a glass of wine as well.

“They want Helanie back in the court, but they also have questions for you, brothers. That weapon that was used on him was under the terms of not being used on the alphas and Norman, you were supposed to keep them in your lockers,” he explained, and I started to wonder if that would cause the brothers trouble.

“Why all of them? Why not interrogate Norman only? He is the one who keeps these things safe,” that was none other than my mother speaking up for the first time.

Her eyes were on Norman, a very new hatred bubbling in her eyes. But what shocked everyone was that, for the first time, she was not trying to butter up her stepson.

“Well, he was with me the whole time,” I hissed in response.

“He could have hired someone to do it. Zellu had been missing for over a month now,” she argued, making me stare at her in disbelief.

So, this was her taking her anger out on Norman?

“I mean, it makes sense, right? Norman had liked Helanie and waited for the perfect moment to stab Zellu to show Helanie why he is the best for her,” she just made up a whole story, while others watched her in silence.

“Oh no, you’re not pointing a finger at my son. Your daughter is the problem here, how dare you try to put my son in trouble?” Darcy got up in haste to slap my mother.

Her hand raised and her breathing erratic, but the minute she faced my mother, she froze for a second.

My mother had held her hand and was glaring right into her eyes. “You will not touch me.”

The way my mother screamed and suddenly the lights went out filled the room with gasps, and goosebumps formed on my skin.

Then the lights were back on and my mother had freed Darcy. My mother was glaring at her in the eyes while Darcy had stepped back from her.

“Okay, we don’t need this right now,” Kaye stepped up and hugged his mother to the side while Norman and Maximus faced my mother.

I didn’t like this kind of energy.

So I got up and stated, “I’m going to rest now. The rest of you can fight or argue, whatever you want to do.”

I walked out of the living room, only to see someone in the passageway through the window. It was Emmet.

He had finally woken up.
