Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 645

Chapter 645: 645-Kaye Needs My Attention

Helanie:

"I’ll spend some time and then they’ll drop me at the mansion before they go back to the academy," I said to Maximus, trying to keep my hands to myself while he kept staring at my face like he had never seen it before. "And stop staring."

I looked at my friends and gave them an awkward smile before hissing at Maximus.

"I can’t believe we’re finally together. I don’t ever want to mess it up," he muttered, his voice full of emotion.

"You won’t. Now go." I badly wanted to push him away playfully, but my friends were watching, and I felt shy around them.

"Okay, kids, drop her at the mansion safely," Maximus told my friends, calling them kids when he wasn’t that much older himself. But they all nodded politely, and the minute I shut the door, I heard my friends start to chuckle.

"Zharns! I wonder who that was," Lamar teased, while Penn was the only one who walked away. And yes, I had finally told them about my mates and what we were doing. Penn was very surprised because he wasn’t usually part of these kinds of conversations, so it came as a shock to him.

He hadn’t spoken to me the whole time, though. But I caught him staring at me several times.

After spending some time together, we all got into two cars and hit the road. I was in the car with Jenny and Lamar, who were going to drop me off at the mansion, while Penn was driving Gavin to the academy to change his classes. We even talked about Kaidon, who was arrested when Darius finally confessed. Kaidon wanted a maximum punishment but since he was drugged that night, he wasn’t given as hard time as the others.

We were halfway there when Jenny suddenly hit the brakes, making us all look at her.

"Guys, isn’t that Sage? And who’s the woman beside her?" It was strange the way Jenny almost gasped when she saw Sage and the woman I clearly recognized.

"Lady Darcy," I hissed under my breath. It didn’t make any sense, though. The two had no connection and no relationship. They shouldn’t be sitting together.

"You know what I heard from a little bird? Sage has a huge crush on Professor Emmet. She used to text him and call him a lot since the beginning of her admission into the academy," Lamar said, making my breath hitch with the information. I kept staring at the two, remembering when I had seen her with Emmet once.

She had always been around; I just didn’t pay much attention. But it seemed like now she was much closer.

Closer than ever.

"Let’s go. I’ll be marking Emmet tonight anyway," I said, barely able to look away from the two.

I was not jealous. Not at all. Ughh!

"We’ll need a plan to get Sage eliminated," Lamar whispered to Jenny, who gave him a small nod, and after a second, I started smiling.

It was Kaye, screaming just to get our attention. I noticed he was already tied in chains, ready for the night when I’d mark Emmet. We had already decided to tie him up so we wouldn’t have to go through the whole process of waiting for the next full moon.

"I knew you’d keep her occupied. Now’s not the time to steal her from us," Kaye seemed pretty upset, even though he tried to say it in a light tone.

"He didn’t steal me. I missed him," I corrected Kaye, and he finally shut up, turning his face the other way with a scoff escaping his lips.

"Hey, are you okay?" I asked as I approached him, keeping my distance because I could tell he didn’t want me getting too close either. I guessed he was afraid he was already getting worse with the full moon approaching.

"No! I need your attention and time," he nearly hissed, sounding angry that I hadn’t come to him first.

"I’m here now, Kaye," I said, and I noticed Norman beginning to walk away. I reached my hand back and held Norman’s, stopping him while Kaye was busy taking deep breaths.

"We’re all in this together," I said, slightly turning to look at Norman, who smiled when he felt my hand holding his. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

"Everything will be over tonight," I reassured Kaye as I watched Emmet pass out. After Kaye calmed down, we all sat together and talked about life after everything was settled. I shared Gavin’s wish with them and got mixed reactions. As for Maximus, he had arrived by the time the full moon night came.

"He’s sedated. You can mark him now. By the time he wakes up and is marked, his madness will be somewhat under control, and I’m sure he’ll understand and mark you back," Norman said, opening Emmet’s cage for me.
