Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 777

Chapter 777: 777-They Accepted Their Fated Mates For A Reason

Helanie:

After Lord McQuoid told us about his past with Darcy and how she had manipulated him and the system so many times, he was taken back to his room to rest because he could not stop crying. I guess the stigma around alphas or powerful werewolves was so strong that Mr. McQuoid had kept his tears hidden for too long until he felt like he would not be judged for it. And it just broke my heart.

"I always had a feeling mom was doing something, something weird." Maximus was the one who broke the silence. Of course, we all expected him. He was usually the one who tried to cheer everyone up, or at least break the silence, like he was doing now.

"The thing is, now she has extended her claws and they have reached our mate," Norman said as he raised his head and gave me a quick glance before patting Emmet’s back.

"Great job researching everything from the clues you got." Norman admired Emmet’s efforts, especially the fact that he was able to find the rituals and the curses just by listening to what was happening, what his mom was saying, or what Sage had told us.

"So what exactly do we need to do in order to end this curse? Because it seems like mom is really not a help. She just makes us keep going in circles," Kaye added, watching our faces before looking at Emmet.

And we could already tell the news was not going to be good. Emmet hesitated to tell us.

"Emmet, what is it?" Finally, Maximus pushed him out of silence.

"We have to kill our fated mate or our firstborn."

The minute Emmet said that, my face went blank. No expression. My body felt numb. A strange coldness spread through my hands and feet, then the shivers ran down my spine.

"Never!" Norman was quick to jump in and let his brothers know he would never do that.

"Well, we have other mates," and then Maximus’s statement turned heads toward him. We all watched him silently before I shook my head and wagged my finger as a no. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"No, I’m not okay letting someone else die either," I said. I took a deep breath and added, "If it helps you all with your pain, I would rather sacrifice myself than let someone else take the fall."

As soon as I said that, I noticed them shaking their big heads, all in sync.

"And what makes you think that will help us with our pain?" Emmet grunted at me. This was the first time I’d heard him use such a tone with me, and it only came when I spoke wrongly about myself.

"And the reason I asked my brothers to accept their other fated mates was—" Emmet stopped, and everyone else realized what he meant. He had already suspected this outcome. The minute he started acting nicely with his mother and gathering information from her, he began making plans. One of them was convincing his brothers to accept other fated mates so they could use them later.

"Oh my Goddess, that’s not why I asked you all to accept them," I cut in quickly, clearing the air. "I had no clue. I thought they would help with the pain. I didn’t know they would have to die to do it."
