Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 257

Chapter 257: 257-Saw A Lion

Helanie:

"Where are you taking us?" Lamar glared at the guy behind me, stopping him from touching me. We were being taken to the alpha’s mansion, but the big question was: why?

"Alpha Vernon wants to see you," the warrior hissed, making my eyes drift toward the sign near the mansion.

The brown sign was knocked down, with the scratched-out name of the previous pack, *The Blood Curse Pack.* Next to it stood a new sign that read *Dark Eclipse Pack.* They had purposely left the old one there, probably as a reminder of the downfall of the previous alpha.

As we reached the entrance, Alpha Dewitt and Malarkey caught up with us. Smirks spread across their faces as they blocked our path.

"You know what’s funny about little sparrows, Malarkey? They think they can beat an eagle," Dewitt remarked, laughing at me.

"Lamar, he’s calling himself an eagle," I said, rolling my eyes. I wasn’t the type to sass anyone before, but things had changed. I’d grown so annoyed with these people that I couldn’t help myself.

"Let’s go inside and see. Who knows, you might meet a hungry lion in there," Dewitt scoffed, now calling himself a lion.

As we all walked inside, I noticed how many people had gathered in the foyer. Warriors were standing in front of the pack alpha, blocking his view.

"Alpha Vernon, thank you so much. You’ve helped us catch these two nuisances," Dewitt announced loudly as he marched in with his arms spread wide and a huge grin.

Malarkey wore the same smug expression. Were they best friends or something?

A little later, after they walked across the spacious hall to the warriors, the men stepped aside to reveal Vernon. A tall, slender man sat on a regal chair like a king. His hair was dyed black, and he had a thin black mustache. His striking hazel eyes stood out among his sharp facial features.

He looked like a very stern and serious man. Rayden followed close behind, giving me a quick glance and rubbing his cheek gently—probably a reminder of my actions yesterday.

Lamar and I stood alone, as if we were criminals, while Dewitt approached Vernon first.

"No greeting for me?" a voice came from behind the warriors, right beside Vernon. As the warriors finally moved away, they revealed Emmet leaning back on a similar regal chair, one leg crossed over the other, his foot tapping on the floor.

Silence fell over the room, and the smiles on Dewitt and Malarkey’s faces instantly vanished.

A smile crept onto my lips, but I quickly stifled it when I saw Rayden glance at me and then at Emmet.

So, the bracelet really worked.

"Hello," Emmet greeted Dewitt with a grin I’d never seen him give anyone before.

The moment Emmet checked them, Malarkey let out a loud grunt. _{fгeewebnovёl.com}
