Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 104

Chapter 104: 104-Teasing Helanie

Kaye:

We were watching Emmet’s face in shock. But he didn’t seem too concerned about our looks as if putting a tracker in someone’s bracelet wasn’t a big deal.

"A tracker, Emmet?" My voice rose sharply as I finally lost my composure. I slammed the half-eaten slice of pizza back onto my plate, drawing everyone’s attention to my face. "Are you tracking her now?"

"She knows—" Emmet rolled his eyes, his casual demeanor only fueling my anger.

"And she ’let’ you give her that bracelet?" I asked, my frustration mounting. We were having a full-blown debate, and Emmet barely seemed bothered enough to respond.

Maximus waited for him to answer the question, and Emmet finally seemed to realize that our anxiety was growing by the second.

"I told her it’s a gift with a tracker, just in case something happens. She asked all the same questions you guys are asking now. Besides, she has no idea it’s not a diamond bracelet. I just didn’t want her to—"

Norman scoffed and cut him off. However, I knew if she knew it was really diamonds, she would have never accepted the gift. Not that it would have been her fault to accept it.

"Then you should have given her something mediocre, like something from the mall with a tracker in it. Why give her diamonds? And, of course, I figured she wouldn’t know the truth about the diamonds—she might have never seen one before," Norman’s words made me clench my jaw. He was so hateful towards her that sometimes he didn’t realize the words he was using for her. And I wondered,

Why was he always belittling my mate like that?

"Your love for material goods isn’t good, brother. When we first left the pack life, we were broke too. So, it’s pretty petty that you’re using words like that about Helanie—someone who’s been nothing but a victim of everything and everyone around her," I couldn’t just sit there quietly while my brother talked this way about my mate and his future sister-in-law.

"Kaye! Are you okay?" Maximus patted my shoulder to check on me, while Norman just stared at me, his expression hurt.

"You think I love material goods?" he asked, his voice filled with hurt, and I could feel it pierce my heart.

"I’m just saying... your comment is too harsh. But you know what, I’m sorry!" I closed my eyes and spoke softly, feeling guilty. What was happening to me? My world now revolved around Helanie.

But there was something I was worried about. _{fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com}

How would my mother react to this?

"As her professor and stepbrother, I think I did nothing wrong. And if it reaches the point where I have to make an announcement about her being my stepsister, I’ll do it. That will surely keep her out of danger." Emmet hissed with every word.

It was a good thing he was calling her his stepsister, but it made me wonder—how would I ever be able to marry her if my father kept her mother with him?

One of us would have to step back, and I wouldn’t be the one to do it.
