Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 373

Chapter 373: 373-The Final Call

Helanie:

As the caller kept blowing up my phone, I was left with no option. I agreed with Gavin and answered the call. As soon as I put the phone to my ear, I was stunned to hear his voice.

"So, it seems like I can’t just let you live happily. I’m going to tell your pack and father that you’re alive. I’m coming for you."

It was Rayden, making a final threat.

My eyes widened at Lamar, who got the hint from the look on my face that it was someone who meant harm. I got so scared from his tone that I hung up on him. _{freēwēbnovel.com}

"What happened? Who was it?" Gavin asked, walking beside me on my left while Lamar walked beside me on my right. Jenny and Penn were behind us. But I guess Jenny wasn’t sure if we would invite her for outings because of Lucy.

"It was a wrong number," I laughed nervously, but Lamar got the hint. He knew it was not nothing, but he also knew he shouldn’t bring attention to it.

"Jenny, why don’t you come have lunch with us?" Gavin suddenly turned to her, and both Lamar and I stopped. We weren’t upset with her over anything, at least I wasn’t. I was just uncomfortable since her mate was actively threatening me. But I must say, she looked abused by him. Verbal and mental abuse must’ve made her dependent on him.

Back when she used to try so hard to tell her parents and brother Rayden was in the wrong, they didn’t believe her. And from what I’ve been hearing, his parents still praised him. It was Penn who had cut ties with Rayden.

I still had to figure out what to make of Penn. His close association with Rayden and his rendezvous wearing his jacket had left a mark on me.

"I’m not sure if they’d want me..." Jenny mumbled.

"You can come," I jumped in and offered her. I wasn’t trying to get back at Lucy by inviting Jenny, but I realized Jenny shouldn’t be held back when she was trying so hard to make herself a part of our group.

"If—if it’s okay with you," I turned to Lamar and whispered.

"It’s fine," he replied. "I’m really over her, so it’s okay." His comment really hurt because Jenny heard it, and her face fell.

However, nothing could be done about it since she was still dating Rayden.

We still went to our rooms and freshened up to join the hall for lunch. While I was in the room and showering, I couldn’t forget Rayden’s threat. My eyes kept moving to my phone, and I wondered if someone would just call me to tell me the council had found out I faked my death and that I needed to come back to be punished.
