Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 665

Chapter 665: 665-The Alpha Switches

Helanie:

"It’s not that I’m embarrassed. I just don’t think people are ready yet. We’re dealing with monsters and the X Codex. We can’t handle all sorts of other rumors at the same time," I tried to explain to Emmet once we stepped into the guest room.

My old room that I used to share with Vani. I noticed two single beds placed side by side, each against a wall.

"Rumors can’t kill us. There’s some other reason you’re too scared to talk about," Emmet said calmly as he took off his coat and folded it neatly. He then grabbed my bag to place it in the closet too.

"How are you so sure I have another reason?" I asked, watching him smile and shake his head.

"I know you, Helanie. Just because I drank a lot, you all think I’m just a drunk guy who doesn’t know what’s going on around him."

I felt hurt by his comment. It wasn’t insulting to me, but it made me wonder if he still carried pain from long ago.

I knew Emmet almost never complained, so it was possible he had a lot of unspoken frustration with the people around him.

"Well, we’re not sharing a room. That would be weird," I said, changing the subject when I realized the two beds were for us.

"No problem, I can sleep somewhere else," Emmet said without looking at me, and it made me feel guilty again.

"No! Wait. There are two beds, we’ll be fine," I quickly added, and he turned to give me a puzzled look. free𝑤ebnovel.com

"Don’t look at me like that," I muttered awkwardly.

That’s when a knock on the door broke his stare from my face. I was glad someone had interrupted.

Emmet opened the door for Vani, who always had a bright smile whenever she saw us.

"Alpha Altan sent his warriors to pick you up. I was thinking of making dinner for you, but the warriors said you two will be eating with Alpha Altan. So, my plan is canceled," she pouted, folding her arms.

I didn’t want her to stand in the kitchen and make a whole dinner for us. Since her mother never cooked for us, I knew that job would fall on Vani’s fragile shoulders.

"It’s alright. I’ll bring pizza on my way back. You don’t have to cook for anyone tonight," I said. Of course, I wasn’t going to let it go. I planned to talk to Larissa and remind her of her responsibilities.
