Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 211

Chapter 211: 211-Someone Is Ready To Listen

Helanie:

"Yes, sir?" I stood in front of them, my hands tied in front of my body under my abdomen in perfect posture.

Norman had his coat off, his off-white shirt wrinkled from the muscles holding up the shirt at multiple places. He was buff, and today he looked like he had done an intense workout before coming to the hostel.

He had his arm extended on the table, playing with the paperweight, and his body leaned back in the chair.

Next to him sat Kaye on the chair, his arms folded over the table and his head down, but he was watching me through his thick eyebrows.

Maximus stood next to the window, his hands in his pants’ pockets and that casual smoldering look on his face.

As for Emmet, he stood behind the empty chair, his one arm folded over the high back of the chair, and his eyes noticing my every move.

"Umm, did I do something wrong?" I inquired, feeling overwhelmed by being under the scrutiny of such powerful werewolves.

I always thought I had moved on from some of the trauma until I was in a place similar to the last one--a place where I was alone with powerful men. And every time I remember, nope! The trauma is still there.

I was trying my best to keep my composure and not shake in front of them.

"Have a seat," Norman finally spoke up after letting me think over what I might have done for a good two minutes. I moved slowly and took the chair. Emmet stepped out from behind the chair and sat down, all their eyes on me now.

"Can we just start talking? She is getting anxious," Kaye hissed in a whisper, thinking only his brother would hear.

Norman nodded his head exaggeratedly and straightened his back in the seat.

"Helanie! When you first took admission in the academy, everyone thought you wouldn’t go very far. Honestly speaking, I was one of them," he paused to take a break, "but then you proved us all wrong. After seeing your performance in all the tests, everyone is shocked, but all eyes are on you."

The minute he said that, I found my heart revive. My posture straightened and a smile covered my lips. I noticed Kaye, Emmet, and Maximus smile at me, looking so happy.

"The council has been frequently asking about you as well. The way you handle every exam despite having no wolf has left everyone in awe. I hope you continue to show such courage and determination, and big things will be promised to you. We are seeing a lot of potential in you, Helanie. Just make sure you don’t let the friend drama drag you down," As he continued, he mentioned my friends, and my smile started to falter a little.

"My friends?" I asked because I was curious what they knew.
