Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 176

Chapter 176: 176-Forced To Be This Way

Norman:

My reflex was working hard, and normally I would have thrown or pushed her back, trying to keep the environment and our relationship clean and appropriate, but right now, she was not at fault.

And I have already manhandled her enough when thinking she was attacking me. I gently placed my hands on her back, with a very fearful and shaky body language, and carried her to put her down.

"Helanie! You don’t want this. You will hate yourself when you come to. So how about you rest," I spoke to her calmly.

This was the first time I was able to watch her face so closely. I had seen her before, but right now, I knew she was so intoxicated that she wouldn’t remember all these details in the morning.

I just had a moment to stare at her closely.

Mom’s words resonated in my mind, and I quickly disagreed with my mother’s words when describing Helanie’s features.

Her words didn’t do justice to her beauty.

I have never seen someone so flawlessly beautiful but with such a messed-up fate. She had been through enough, and even her own mother kicked her out of her life.

She was a rogue and had been attacked to the point that she was left for dead, and today, she was drugged.

I began to wonder about her fate and her identity.

"But I--I don’t want to be alone," she pouted, her eyebrows slanting.

I let out a deep sigh of exhaustion, worried if I left, she would run out again and get herself into trouble that no one, not a man or a woman, wants for themselves.

Even the thought of her acting this way would destroy her confidence. From the way she keeps herself and how everyone wanders around her, especially the boys, not like I haven’t noticed, I could tell Helanie was saving herself for her special mate.

So her protection was important.

"Okay, I will stay here and ask my guard to bring you some sleeping pills," I uttered, attempting to get up, but she held my hand and stopped me from inching away from her.

"You should stay here," she pouted and lay down while still holding my hand. I looked around awkwardly at the walls, as if someone was watching me.

But there was no one here.

"Okay!" I awkwardly replied.

I shouldn’t care too much. Call someone from the paramedics and put a guard outside her door. But she was--she was my brother’s mate. So I had to personally take care of her. My hatred for her mother aside, I was seeing change in their behavior.

She seemed different from her mother, but who knows what she is hiding beneath the beautiful face of hers.

My eyes drifted to her as she moaned in the bed, probably from the heat in her body, and I quickly looked away.

"You know, you are so heartless," she uttered, almost like whining.
