Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 804

Chapter 804: 804-Meeting Mom

Helanie:

"Bye, take care," I called from the car, waving my hand wide. Recently, any journey had been long for me, and I realized it wasn’t good for my health. I got drained of energy very quickly and needed to feed every few hours.

We went to the doctor the other day, me, Emmet, and the rest of my mates, because they wanted to be there for every appointment. She told me it was early in the pregnancy and I was extremely weak, rapidly losing strength in my body. After the ultrasound, the doctor told me it was true. I was carrying four pups. But when I told her the babies had different fathers, she said it was risky.

I didn’t care. I was ready for whatever the outcome would be. However, I didn’t tell my mates the news yet.

Now we were headed to Arthendell. The council was also going there, along with some of the big alphas and alpha kings invited by the mermaids. I was glad the two sides were finally getting along, and I wanted to keep it this way. But someone else coming with us had most of our attention.

"I can’t believe I’ll see so many mermaids," Lucy said from behind. She was in the SUV with me and Norman. Gavin had insisted on staying in the car. Ever since she got in, I noticed Gavin couldn’t stop staring at her. After losing Salem, he carried a lot of guilt about what happened to Lucy too. He even blamed himself. His mate was dead, and his ex-mate, his childhood best friend, was trapped in her own body.

The car beside us had Lamar, Jenny, Sage, and Penn.

"So, how is life for you?" Gavin asked her, shifting in his seat first. I adjusted the mirror so I could see them.

"It’s great," Lucy replied, though not with the warmth she once had.

"Listen, I never got a chance to say this to you, but I’m really sorry," Gavin went on. I noticed Lucy looking around. Maybe our Lucy, still tired and trapped in her body, was listening to him. What if us talking to her was affecting whatever was going on inside her between her and the two entities?

"Took you a while to realize you had been a scumbag." That response, however, was sadly not from Lucy. At least we knew this much, Lucy would never say that.

"I was," Gavin admitted quickly, which made her go silent.

I was staring at her too hard, wanting to see how she would react to everything.

"So, you don’t come around to fight the Jaunes?" Gavin asked. It sounded natural since everyone was involved.

"Oh, um, I really don’t like violence," Lucy said, trying to sound clever.

"That makes sense. You never did. Remember when we were, uh, little? You used to be so..." He was smiling and talking when she suddenly put her earplugs in, making it clear she didn’t want to hear him.
