Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 320

Chapter 320: 320-A Promise To Keep

Helanie:

I’ve been so happy with my new strength that even while showering, I couldn’t help but sing and dance a little. There’s truth in the saying that once you get your wolf, you become the happiest.

Although she wasn’t fully awake enough to have a conversation with me, she was doing her best to show me her presence by giving me her strength.

I put on the black jeans and blue shirt, happily left my room, and locked it. Even though I didn’t really have anything to worry about, except for the new clothes I bought with my pay from working daily hours for Maximus, I still preferred locking my room.

Emmet should too.

I felt so guilty whenever I remembered sneaking into his room.

I left the mansion on foot and looked up from the road to glance back at the mansion. I saw Charlotte standing on the second floor terrace, glaring down at me.

With a wave of my hand, I teased her with a goodbye and then continued on my way.

I didn’t want to take a car or anything. I just wanted to enjoy my newfound strength. I’d waited so long for it.

Once I was nearing the woods and heading down the mountains, I saw Lamar standing with his bike, playing a game on his phone.

"Hey!" I cheerfully waved my hand, making him slide his phone into his pocket and raise an eyebrow, judging me.

"Someone looks happy as heck," he commented.

"Guess I’ve got good news," I said, dancing a little with my shoulders.

"Rayden died?" he asked, looking shocked, and with a shake of my head, I corrected him.

"I felt my wolf wake up," I whispered, and he began to smile widely before pulling me into a hug.

"Congratulations! What’s her name?" he asked happily.

"Well, she isn’t talking much. She only spoke once, but I’m using a part of her strength right now," I replied, feeling a little sad about the lack of conversation.

"So, you mean to say, you got all the good perks and don’t have to put up with your wolf’s sass?" I bet his wolf growled at him for his comment, because he quickly stuck his tongue out and touched his ear to apologize.

"And what do you mean by ’a part of it’?" he asked.

"I feel like there’s more to her, like more strength. I’m so excited to finally have her with me," I said. That was definitely an accomplishment. And I wasn’t lying about the strength part.

Ever since she had woken up in me, I’ve been feeling very optimistic about her.

"Anyway, where’s Gavin?" I looked around and saw his clothes hanging from a tree.

"He transitioned and went out for a run," Lamar answered.

"Now tell me, why have you been asking me such weird questions about that lycan? And why aren’t you worried that the lycan saw the cameras?" Of course, I couldn’t avoid that question for too long. He’d been waiting to ask me.
