Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 385

Chapter 385: 385-My Comforting Mate

Helanie:

That night, I couldn’t sleep properly. I kept waking up from the recurring nightmare of that night. I wondered if every time I faced one of them, I would feel the same way.

I hated the idea of it. The next morning, we rushed to the training ground to start training.

"Helanie! Watch this," Jenny yelled for my attention, showing me how many push-ups she could do now. We were getting really good. Usually, the teams would huddle together and discuss their tricks and techniques.

Our team was having a problem because of Hans. Since he was an alpha, he wanted everyone to listen to him. And sadly, he was the only alpha in our team.

"Jenny, stop playing around and focus on training," he had the nerve to bring her down by shouting at her.

"She IS training," I yelled back at him, frowning.

"You stay out of it, wolfless creature," Hans pointed his finger at me, warning me not to raise my voice at him.

"I am the monitor. I will say whatever I want and to whoever I want. And I’m telling you, fix your attitude or else—" I watched him look down and laugh at my threat before rushing over to face me. I guess he wanted me to back down and be afraid of him, but I didn’t flinch and kept standing my ground.

That seemed to upset him a little. So he placed his hands on his waist to look even more intimidating.

"Don’t test me. I am not Arlo or Rayden that you can get punished. I am Alpha Hans. I am nothing like that pervert Rayden, who you got kicked out. Losers like him are scared of women like you—the ones who are perfect—" he pointed at his chest, making me cock my head before letting out a scoff.

"Go do push-ups. Your speeches are boring," I hissed, turning around to my team when I felt something at my feet.

I swear he did something, probably put his foot in front of mine, but the next thing I knew, I landed face-down.

"Oops, you can’t even take a few steps without hurting yourself," he commented, while I got to my feet to face him again. But I could tell I had scratched my chin a little.

"Hans! Do you want me to remind you how to speak to your monitor?" Emmet’s arrival was at the right time. Hans instantly stepped back and tied his hands behind his back, standing obediently in front of Emmet.

That’s where their confidence would shatter.

"I was just reminding her that they shouldn’t be playing around and wasting time," Hans replied.

"I am here for that. Go take a lap," Emmet yelled, looking very angry with him. "And you, Helanie, come to my office."

He made Hans nod and leave so he wouldn’t have to make eye contact with anyone or feel the embarrassment of not being able to talk back to Emmet—especially after claiming to be different from Rayden and Arlo.

"Jenny, please help others with the training," Emmet ordered, making Jenny smile for having a responsibility on her for once.

I followed Emmet to the academy and to his office in silence. Once I entered his office, he locked the door. However, I never felt unsafe with any of his actions.
