Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 115

Chapter 115: 115-Just The Two She-Wolves In Pain

Helanie:

"He and I had been friends since we were kids. We grew up as friends, the three of us. In fact, he was like a brother to Penn," she took a pause to take a deep breath and added, "and then we fell in love. We also felt the mate bond, but we had already been dating long before that. I was beginning to think I had found my soulmate and that I would never be alone as a she-wolf—but then—one night—it just happened. I felt this pain and started calling him, but he wouldn’t pick up my calls. I went to my brother’s room because of the pain I was feeling, and he woke up Dad, who also called his parents, but nobody knew where he was until morning. He arrived straight to my mansion and claimed he had been training the whole night."

There were tears in her eyes as she spoke about her mate. We had taken a stroll away from the academy instead of going to the hostel. She was really emotional after we started talking about the mate bond and mates cheating on each other.

"Then? Did you believe him?" I asked, and she shook her head. _{frёeωebɳovel.com}

"But others did. They all told me that there could be a million different reasons. He could have been really hyped up due to the training or gotten injured, and I was feeling his pain. Helanie, I just don’t believe it, and sadly—" she paused, and I already knew what she was going to say next.

"You are still fated to him," I stated, not even asking her a question.

"Yeah. That is the painful part, that I don’t know the truth, and my family just wants me to stay with him. In fact, they’re planning our summer engagement next year," she sighed, turning her face to the side.

"Do you still like him?" I wondered what would happen to her if he didn’t admit the truth. Isn’t that what happened with Lucy too? Did she feel the same way? I mean, Jenny’s situation was worse because of her throwing up blood and all, but pain is pain, and I guess it’s the reason behind the pain that hurts them for a longer period of time.

"I do. That’s the part that makes me the most angry. I still love him, but then I remember that night, and I just want to know the truth so I can reject him without worrying about whether I made a mistake in judgment," she uttered quietly, lowering her face into my palms.

I realized that Jenny was very fragile and adorable. She was a gentle soul who deserved better, better than the fated mate who was probably gaslighting her.

"Can’t you ask for an investigation?" I inquired, letting out a sigh.
