Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 185

Chapter 185: 185-Not Entirely Lonely

Helanie:

"No!" I shook my head, looking away awkwardly. Had this been going on in his head all this time?

"What no?" He sounded offended that my response was like that.

"It can’t be. It wasn’t a full moon, and I didn’t even feel anything," I whispered under my breath, hoping that would make him retract his thoughts, but he confidently shook his head.

"You don’t have a wolf, and also, because it wasn’t a full moon. And you know, those who don’t have a fully active wolf cannot feel the mate bond after the first time. And sadly, our first time was without the full moon, so now we have to wait for you to have a wolf to feel it again," he was explaining confidently, shrugging like this news didn’t bother him.

He seemed to be enjoying the thought of being mates with me.

"Exactly, how can we feel the mate bond without a wolf moon?" I let out a laugh, a rather awkward one. So that he doesn’t feel embarrassed and accepts that he is wrong in his observation. _{fɾēewebnσveℓ.com}

"Helanie, it has to be a special bond, a mate bond then. Look, I know what I felt, so I am in the clear. Now, if it is too much for you to be mated to a dashing, powerful rogue king like me—" he had a smirk on his face, his voice all husky this time.

"Well, I guess I will have to wait for my wolf to wake up then," I quickly sidestepped him, moving over to the side to avoid being in his sight.

"I won’t wait. I will pursue you, and I am shamelessly admitting it. I just cannot wait for you to be in my class," he mumbled in his beautiful voice and shocked me.

He was so excited, but why? Didn’t they hate me?

"My mom stole your father from your mother," I stated, reminding him because I thought he had forgotten.

I wouldn’t let him have too many thoughts about us being mates because I knew that was not true. My pheromones had confused him so much.

"And you are nothing like her. Listen, I get it. You are trying hard to get this kind of thing, and I am not afraid of a little challenge," he shrugged, moving to the other side.

I didn’t know how to respond to him anymore, so I stayed silent.

"Let me walk you back to the hostel. It is getting late." Finally, he stopped using that flirtatious tone and offered to walk me to the hostel.

I would have asked him if I was managed, but the rogue world was a dangerous world, especially after the sun went down.

I started walking behind him. He hummed a few songs on the way that comforted me into thinking my life was normal too.

But what confused me so much was the fact that I once desperately wanted to be accepted by someone. So when Altan stretched his hand out for me, I accepted it happily.

But then, now that I have men pursuing me, I cannot hold their hands.
