Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 273

Chapter 273: 273-Into The Woods

Helanie:

It was awkward finishing dinner after that. We all ate silently, and sadly, Kaye could barely swallow his food. I did notice something, though. Norman would never let anyone hurt or speak badly to his brothers whenever he was around. Maybe he wasn’t entirely wrong when he claimed he loved his brothers.

I left for my room as soon as dinner was over. In fact, I was the first to leave because I didn’t want another awkward situation to arise. Once in my room, I sat on my bed with my phone in hand.

I had been texting Lamar nonstop and wondered if he had spoken with Jenny after their meeting today.

Lamar: They’ve made a plan. They want us to join them tomorrow night to put it into action.

I frowned because I had no idea how I would leave the mansion for an entire night. The brothers would never allow it, and it wasn’t like I could sneak out with so many warriors stationed around the mansion.

Me: How am I supposed to leave?

Lamar: Talk to Lord McQuoid. Tell him you’re going to stay at a hotel or Jenny’s cabin. Say it’s a friend’s gathering.

He was right. That idea might actually work because teens always had those kinds of gatherings.

I guessed the senior members had done their research because they seemed pretty confident they could capture this monster.

But was I ready to face that Lycan again? What about the fact that he was my mate? Why would the Moon Goddess pair me with a monster who was killing innocent people?

I went to bed early that night so I could wake up and get to work. It was the weekend, and starting Monday, I planned to join Maximus for his job.

It was the same as every other night this past week. There were too many howls and wolves around the mansion. I bet it was because of the Lycan, because after 2 a.m., everything would go completely silent.

I woke up early as planned and put on the same pink dress. I left my hair down and only applied some lip gloss. I’d love to have a whole collection of skincare and makeup in the future. I enjoyed watching those beauty videos.

Screw anyone who frowned upon makeup or judged girls for wearing too much of it. Life is so much better when you love yourself and try new things.

I never judged any girl for wearing makeup or choosing certain types of clothes.

"Good morning." I had barely stepped into Lord McQuoid’s office on the third floor when regret washed over me. He wasn’t alone. Someone else was in the office, his broad back facing the door.

I already knew who it was from the size of his shoulders.

It was Norman.

"Oh, Helanie, what brings you to my office so early in the morning?" Lord McQuoid’s face lit up when he saw me. I didn’t want to step inside anymore, but I had to since I was already here.
