Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates - Chapter 605

Chapter 605: 605-Melting Away
Helanie:

“You’ve gone crazy. Even if you don’t believe me, you said you didn’t want to do it anymore,” I kept yapping nonstop while Maximus dragged me back to Rune’s mansion with him. Rune’s guards said they wanted us in his bed before he lost his mind, but since Maximus was clearly on board, they let him handle me.

But I was in shock and panicking. Maximus was supposed to remember everything — why didn’t he?

“Maximus, I’d rather kill myself or Rune, than do it,” I yelled as he dragged me into Rune’s bedroom where everything was set up for the night. By everything, I mean candles lit, wine, and sex toys on the table.

The guards didn’t come inside with us. As Maximus made me sit down on the bed, he bent down and cupped my face hard in his hand.

“That’s what we have to do to get out of here,” he whispered into my face, and my body started to relax.

“You—,” I began, and he blinked his eyes tightly.

“I’ll chew his hands off if he touches you. But we have to pretend,” he muttered before pulling away. “Our child can have a good life if we do it. He’s offering us a lot, baby.”

He kept up the fake tone to sound convincing.

“I don’t want to do it anymore,” I yelled, continuing with my fake anger.

“Baby, try to understand. We can live such a happy life. It’ll be just one night,” he came closer and held my hands. I noticed the longing in his eyes. “I want to have a family with you. I’ve waited so long for us to be together and happy.” Those weren’t fake statements—he gently touched the mark on his neck and smiled.

“I knew you’d be able to convince her. A woman always listens to her baby daddy,” Rune walked in, looking fresh as if he’d just taken a shower. His sight and presence were so full of negativity that I had to take a deep breath and exhale to feel normal.

“She was just scared,” Maximus replied before looking down and then at my stomach. I knew where his attention went.

“We should get started before she gets distracted again,” Rune smirked, his eyes hungrily scanning my body from head to toe.

I squeezed closer while gulping. He was probably thinking Maximus had made me lose myself instead of me waking him up.

“Sure,” Maximus said, getting into the bed. “Wait, I want you to use the toy of my choice on her.” The way Maximus paused showed that even thinking about letting Rune touch me was too much for him.

“Sure, whichever one you pick,” Rune said, taking off his shirt while his eyes stayed on me. I felt so uncomfortable.

“You look even more gorgeous when you’re annoyed. But I have to say, you’re a good wife. At least you listen to your husband,” Rune commented, showing off his abs as he tossed his shirt aside. To be honest, I’d seen my mates naked here and there, and they were the most gorgeous men ever. Rune could never come close to their level, even in a million dream prisons.

I acted like I wasn’t going to kill him if I got the chance and slowly raised my legs onto the bed and crawled back.

“That’s my good girl,” he whispered, getting on the bed on his knees.

He leaned in while unbuckling his pants to kiss me, and I kept leaning back on the bed in fear. I had no clue what we could do now. All I knew was that Maximus had woken up. But how long are we supposed to linger it?

What was the plan?

As soon as he got too close, I felt a belt wrap around his neck from behind. His eyes widened in surprise as his body flew back with force. Maximus had grabbed him and was trying to stop him from calling his guards.

I could tell Rune was caught off guard and couldn’t use his power to quickly transform into a wrecking ball like last time.

I was gulping, watching Maximus put all his strength into holding him down. I began to notice changes in Rune and knew I had to act fast. I ran to the table, grabbed a bottle, and shattered it before returning to the bed.

I got on top of him, watching his eyes grow wide. But his head was also changing, so before he could reach his full power, I started stabbing him—two stabs in each eye. Blood splattered everywhere, and his screams escaped. Maximus let him go to fight the guards who were now trying to get inside. Meanwhile, I stayed on top of Rune, stabbing him nonstop.

His eyes locked onto mine, shock clear in them. As soon as I stabbed his heart, I watched purple blood pour out. All that red blood was just an illusion. He let out a painful howl while I watched him, then he started to chuckle. Maximus wrapped his arms around me, pulled me off Rune, and dragged me to the side of the bed.

He held me from behind as we watched Rune have a seizure on the bed. His guards had gotten inside but were melting, turning into purple liquid.

“I’m feeling dizzy,” I told Maximus, who spun me around and hugged me tightly. Resting my forehead on his chest felt so amazing. I was at peace.

“Me too. I think this is it,” Maximus said.

“You—freed—me,” Rune mumbled through static. I closed my eyes tightly because the noises and purple blood were making me nauseous.

I felt Maximus’s body rock, and that’s when I knew the dream prison was collapsing. Everything started melting, and I had no idea if we had done it or if we would melt too.

Soon, my legs felt liquid too, and I raised my head from Maximus’s chest to look into his eyes in horror.

“It’s okay, we’re going home,” he whispered quickly before everything turned purple and my eyes closed.
