Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 315

Chapter 315: 315-She Is A Keeper

Norman:

I stayed behind the tree, watching her close her eyes. I gestured at the warrior to play the recording of the lycan howling again. It may have been around 7 PM, but she didn’t know. I had been noticing that she wanted to do great and learn to fight, but she was always busy with other stuff.

She needed a push, at least that much I had learned. After what she did this morning, I felt really guilty for ever seeing her in the wrong light. I guess I was angry at her at first, but the minute she thought it was Emmet and decided not to use the footage, she had earned so much respect in my eyes.

She was a ride or die, wasn’t she?

That innocent face was not just a symbol of beauty but courage, determination, and loyalty.

"Maximus is lucky!" If somebody heard me say that, they would never believe their ears. I wasn’t the type to usually praise a girl, especially Helanie.

I wanted to be right about her, like I always had been about other people who came into our lives. But I was wrong this time. She had proven to me that she had so many layers to her that needed to be discovered.

And today, I had tried to give her a push. I noticed her opening her eyes and then suddenly pulling her arms apart. That’s when the belt snapped, but Helanie closed her eyes, and I knew she was losing consciousness.

I ran from behind the tree and approached her quickly, holding her to stop her from falling down. I had stayed close by all this time, making sure no harm or monster came near her.

"She snapped the belt," the warrior looked shocked, "She has a wolf. There’s no way—" he was staring at the belt and then added, "Or maybe she’s a superhuman."

The way he was watching her made me uneasy. I knew he was just admiring her, but she had passed out, and him watching her sleep just didn’t sit well with me.

"Okay, thank you for your help. You may leave now," I said. I wouldn’t let her be with anyone around when she wasn’t conscious.

I was a little hesitant to touch her to carry her. I hissed under my breath, my fists tight before I loosened my muscles and slid my arms under her body.

As I carried her, I got up from the ground and started walking towards the road where my car was parked.

She had indeed snapped the belt and gotten free. That was incredible. It proved she wasn’t pushing her wolf enough.

But I couldn’t wait to ask her if she heard her wolf or what she felt the moment her strength surged.

I laid her down in the backseat of my car and pulled a blanket over her. I didn’t stay in the car with her since she was unconscious, and I didn’t want her to wake up feeling weird. But I did walk around the car, thinking about the students and everyone’s attention on the lycan.

"She thought it was Emmet. What if others start thinking that too? An innocent man’s reputation will be ruined," I was worried for my brother.

I stood outside, worrying about all these matters. And by the time the warrior returned with food, I saw Helanie move in the backseat as well.

I opened the door and slammed it shut as I sat down, which made her fully wake up.
