Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates - Chapter 579

Chapter 579: 579-The Monster Took My Lover
Emmet:

I have been sitting in my room ever since the event ended. All this time, I couldn’t forget about the betrayal from my family.

My wolf had gone completely silent for a few hours, but I could feel him twist and swirl inside me here and there.

My fingers tapped on the table in front of me, especially on a bunch of pictures.

“She is the love of our life,” said my wolf, finally waking up.

“I was so lost without you,” I said, staring at the woman in the pictures.

“I needed rest. But I’m sure you were lonely. It’s not like anyone cares for you. They cast you aside as if you’re not even a member of this family,” he let out a growl, feeling my pain too.

“But she cared for me,” my fingers gently touched the images before me. Her smile was so bright.

She was my life, the one who kept me as her priority.

“But they killed her—” my wolf reminded me of the heartbreaking incident that happened years ago. Something I had completely forgotten about as if it never happened. But it did happen, and it stole the love of my life from me.

“Azura!” I said her name with love, and all the emotions rushed back to me.

“Remember that night—the night when she was killed,” my wolf said, and I closed my eyes to recall that incident. It was a painful one.

It changed so much for me. Heck! It changed me.

“Your brothers tortured her—the lycan attacked her,” my wolf howled inside me, “you were worried for her but then Norman came, the savior, and told you to go after the lycan while he took care of your Azura. Remember what happened after that?”

I closed my eyes and began to see the whole scene in a new way.

“Just go after the lycan!” I saw Norman yell at me. Azura was badly injured on the ground.

“But her—” I cried, trying to reach her again.

“Emmet, you have been fed upon. You are weak right now. I will take her to the hospital and make sure she is okay,” Norman reassured me. I knew he would take care of her. That is what he was known for.

Norman would never hurt us brothers and he knew how much Azura meant to me.

“I promise, I’ll take her to the hospital,” he said, with a comforting look on his face.

I started to run away but halfway through, I decided to go back. However, they were gone, so I assumed my brother kept his word and took her to the hospital.

“But then where did you find her blood trail?” my wolf cried out, making my heart break.

“Let’s be honest. Norman didn’t help her that night, he betrayed us and her. He killed her and got rid of her body, and you know that too because we found her blood trail leading into the woods and Norman had no answer to our burning questions,” it was a memory that I had silenced deep inside me.

“I don’t want you to feel the pain again, but we are lonely tonight because Azura has been stolen from us. And then our brother went ahead and married the alpha queen. Isn’t it ironic that of all of us, he was the one who used to say he didn’t want a mate or a wife and that he wanted to spend his life taking care of us, but then turned around and married the alpha queen? He was so happy the whole day. He didn’t even want to look at our faces, he probably hates us because we are such a burden,” my wolf uttered, and slowly, I started to feel a headache.

“The woods today explained everything. You saw it all, and the betrayal—,” my wolf reminded me of the awful thing I found out in the woods today. I couldn’t believe my eyes. How could I go back to normal after this?

But that’s when pain struck me and I let out a howling scream without my knowledge. But before I could even realize what it was, I heard loud screams start to erupt throughout the mansion. It was an odd night, I had felt it. But now the creepiness of the night was coming out in the form of cries and screams.

I got up in a rush and went out of my room, but right when I was at the passage, my head snapped toward the mountains far ahead.

“Something is happening in the deep forests,” I whispered. The clouds had turned dusty, almost like they were filled with dirt. Something big must have happened tonight. But what?

I rushed to the main mansion and saw maids running around hysterically. None of them could talk but their bodies were shaking.

“What happened here?” I asked one of them, my eyes landing on the blood trail on the shiny floor.

“There was a monster—in the mansion. It took Sally,” one of the maids spoke up, making me scrunch my eyebrows at the mention of Sally.

Who is Sally?

“The maid had come to the screams to attend to the person in pain but it was a monster and it—,” she cupped her face in her hands and started crying.

“What monster?” I asked. I gathered from her that some monster had snuck into the mansion and had taken one of the maids.

“It looked like—,” she stuttered, sniffling through the tears.

“What? What did it look like?” I asked, my fists clenched and ready to take care of the monster to save the people around me.

“It looked like a lycan,” she finished, and my muscles tensed.

A lycan!

“It must be the same lycan who attacked Azura,” my wolf grunted, the intensity in his voice making me narrow my eyes.

“Where did it go?” I asked the crying maid.

“He passed out of the mansion that way,” she pointed at the door, her hands visibly shaking.

“I will deal with this monster once and for all,” I hissed, rushing toward the main door to chase after that monster, who should have been dealt with years ago.
