Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 181

Chapter 181: 181-Cold War Between The Brothers

Helanie:

After Lucy came out of the bathroom and we were set to go, Jenny called her brother, and the boys had already come to our hut. We spoke for a few minutes, which was basically just me giving them the same lie Norman had told me.

But now that we were all set to go and had come out, I saw Sydney and Salem standing outside their much smaller hut.

The two were talking, wearing blue and pink shirt dresses with a cut on the thigh, which was so high that their G-strings could be seen. The neckline was deep, as if they were ready to take off these dresses anytime soon when going for a swim.

Their cheery morning smiles faded when their eyes landed on me.

Sydney did a double take, whereas Salem rubbed her eyes to confirm it was indeed me she was seeing.

The two started to stare at each other and whisper while I smiled widely, walking alongside my friends.

"What is wrong with them?" Lucy asked as she slid closer to me, definitely noticing how weird the twins were acting.

"They are probably just wondering why I am smiling," I replied, my gaze narrowing at Salem, who was staring at me like she was contemplating how I was here on the beach with them.

"And why are you smiling?" Lucy continued to inspect me. It wasn’t hard for anyone to notice the body language of us three.

"Umm, Helanie, Professor Norman is asking you to meet him behind the huts. As for the rest of you, breakfast will be served in five minutes. So why don’t you go sit in that hut?" A warrior walked over to us, letting me know that I was being asked for. As for the rest, they were escorted to the long cylindrical open canopy that they called the big hut for breakfast.

I made my way to the three huts at a distance. Norman was sitting on a chair on the beach, a big umbrella over his head and a table full of refreshments. It was Kaye on the other side of the table that made my skin itchy.

Seeing him sit before me was hard. It took me back to the kiss and moments we had shared. But I had to be professional since I had worked hard for where I was today.

"Yes, sir?" I asked, watching him take off his sunglasses.

"I didn’t want to ask you about it right away in the morning, Helanie. I knew it would cause you a lot of stress, so I asked my brother instead," the fact that he talked about not wanting to cause me stress really took me off guard.

"I don’t understand, what is going on?" Kaye instantly straightened his back in his chair to question us.

"I asked Kaye who had found the Flame if lust during the test," Norman continued, and I side-eyed Kaye, who had been staring at me as if I would open my mouth and he would enter my body.

"Wait a minute, why is Helanie stressed about it? Did something—wait a minute, did you get drugged?" Kaye quickly get up and slipped closer to me as he tried sniffing through my hair.
