Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 592

Chapter 592: 592-War Between The Brothers

Helanie:

We had arrived at the deeper parts of the forest where many other creatures had been caught previously. The sight was frightening. It wasn’t just Kaye and Maximus, but a pile of Zharns that Maximus had killed and eaten.

"What the heck," I muttered. The smell in the area was terrible too. Maximus must have come here to stack them up.

"Maximus," as soon as I said his name, he snarled and turned to me. Kaye had been keeping him in place until we arrived. Kaye looked very low on energy too, but his eyes showed he wasn’t going to leave without his brother.

"What do we do?" I asked Norman, who was watching his brothers with teary eyes.

It made me feel really bad for him.

"We have to take him home somehow," Emmet suggested, but I noticed Kaye swallow hard, like he wanted to say something.

"Are you sure he’ll be fine there? I mean—" Kaye stopped talking when I began to speak.

"He meant lycans among werewolves can be dangerous. What if Maximus attacks others?" I watched Emmet smile to himself.

"This is not what Kaye meant. He meant if Maximus would be safer there... because who knows, I might lose my mind and try to kill him again." Emmet kept that sad smile on his lips while watching us. "It’s alright though. You all don’t have to pretend it’s not happening. I tried attacking Helanie today—tomorrow it could be someone else. Maybe I should be locked up too, alongside Maximus." Emmet didn’t even hesitate when suggesting that.

"Wait a minute, you attacked Helanie?" Kaye clenched his fists so hard his knuckles turned red.

"Kaye, she’s fine. She can take care of herself, and if there’s anyone who’ll stand up for her, it’s me. You need to stop acting like that with your brother for her," Norman shocked us when he yelled.

Maximus tried to use that moment to run past Kaye, grabbing our attention, but Norman and Emmet joined Kaye in getting their hands on Maximus and pinning him down. I had carried a bag of weapons but mostly sedatives.

"Why are you telling me this?" Kaye yelled at Norman, struggling on the ground with his brothers while trying to stop Maximus from moving too much. I quickly filled the needle with the wolfbane and silver powder and hoped it would work on Maximus.

"What is going on?" Kaye shouted at us while I reached Norman and gave him the needle. He began injecting Maximus, while Kaye reached out to his collar and then gasped.

Kaye was breathing so loudly I could hear a hissing sound coming from his mouth.

"Fine, I’m a scumbag. I couldn’t be with her, and I chose Kesha because Helanie literally told me she couldn’t be with me. But what about Maximus? He didn’t do anything wrong. He went against our mother for her, and she just threw him away. And then—Emmet—that motherfucker was always there for her. Even when he was losing his memory, he did everything for her. She couldn’t reject you to accept him on the first full moon? She moved on so quickly from her mates to you, but Emmet forgetting her was unforgivable? Wow."

I guess what nobody else could say, Kaye did.

And he was right.

I felt so disgusted at that moment. Almost like I had played them all.

"Just because I love you Kaye doesn’t mean I’ll let you disrespect my wife. She means a lot to me, so I suggest you stop this narrative right here," Norman said steadily, placing his hand on Kaye’s neck but fixing his collar in a threatening way.

’We started all this,’ Cora said quietly, and I agreed with her.
