Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 280

Chapter 280: 280-Scared Like A Little Kitten

Norman:

After speaking with my brothers, I was already on my way to the hospital in the nearest pack to check on Rayden before anyone else did. His family would already be on the way.

I reached the hospital in time and joined him in his private room, where he had been resting ever since he woke up. He looked like a mess, but since he had woken up, once he gained some strength, he would be able to transition and heal perfectly.

"He is doing much better. Being an Alpha really helps," the doctors said, and I gave them a dramatic nod.

"I’ll have a word with him," I gestured at the doctor to leave us alone. Once he left, I adjusted my collar and looked around for a chair.

There was a chair on the side, but it reminded me of the one that broke the other night. I remembered falling and Helanie losing her mind, laughing shamelessly. She could be a bit too much at times.

"How are you now?" I asked the question just for formality. It would be rude to immediately ask him what he was planning to tell the council.

"I am... alive," he muttered, his eyes fixed on the ceiling. Of course, he looked traumatized. Coming across a Lycan and then getting his body torn to pieces must have been excruciating.

"Hmm, Rayden, I heard what happened. I’m upset that you students thought going into the woods and risking your lives for others was your responsibility. I’m also disappointed that none of you came to me first to talk about your plans. The only reason we trainers make rules is for your own safety," I said, waiting for the right moment to ask the right question.

"We might have succeeded if my water gun hadn’t been replaced. Somebody sabotaged the plan," he spoke with difficulty, closing his eyes tightly and sounding like he was chewing on needles.

"I heard you’ve made that claim. May I know who did it? We’ll need to punish that person," I said, leaning forward with my hands on the bed.

"It was Helanie!" His voice didn’t falter this time. The look of certainty on his face confirmed he knew exactly what he was talking about.

"Helanie sabotaged the plan? Why?" I was shocked, though I had a feeling I would hear that name. However, I thought he might say it just to get back at her for making him apologize to her. But the way he was talking, his eyes told the truth.

"Helanie wanted revenge for... my bullying," there was a slight hesitation in his voice, and he even looked away when explaining why Helanie might have done such a thing.

"Are you sure? Because if you’re accusing Helanie, it means you’re saying she tried to get back at you by putting everyone else in danger," I pressed, wanting to hear his side clearly. Even so, I already doubted they could have defeated the Lycan.

"I’m not lying. She was with me at the time. Her job was to back me up. When I realized I had the wrong gun, she ran into the woods and claimed hers was broken too," he explained, his eyes turning red with anger.
