Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 388

Chapter 388: 388-I Can Kill For Her

Emmet:

I had been restless. Even when I looked calm on the outside, there was a storm brewing inside me. I wanted to bring Rayden back to life just so I could be the one to kill him with my own hands.

I was annoyed to the point where I felt like losing my mind and unleashing what I had been keeping inside. But I had to stay calm, or I would freak Helanie out.

Flashback:

"So, what can you tell me about Helanie?" I asked Vani, who sat with a book in her hand, her eyes on the kitchen to make sure her brother and mother didn’t come out and hear her talking to me about Helanie.

"She went through a lot," Vani started. "She’s always been through a lot. Everyone knew her and hated her because of how my mother used to make her look like a disgusting person because of her pheromones."

She confused me, a frown forming on my forehead.

"You need to find out about them yourself. Anyway, it was her eighteenth birthday, and she had left the house to go meet her boyfriend at the time—the secret one, though. But sadly, her pheromones attracted some bad people. I just remember her returning home the next morning. She was badly abused and—"

It was definitely a lot for a child to recall such a disturbing event. But she was all I had for information.

And the only one who showed empathy for Helanie.

"There were a total of six alphas." The minute she said that, I frowned and shook my head.

"Six alphas? What do you mean?" I guess I just didn’t want to outright admit what she meant because that would break my sanity.

And then she told me what I was dreading.

"Six alphas gang-raped her and tried to kill her. They thought she had died—"

Her words faded as my head started to spin.

Helanie’s innocent eyes flashed before me. Her little hands begged for help and support from her mother too.

"And then my dad started beating her up, saying she—did it to herself. I mean, that she brought it upon herself by messing around. She tried to explain that she was there with her boyfriend, but he ditched her and left her there with those bastard alphas."

Vani’s eyes started filling with tears as she brought me back to reality with more information.

I was having a hard time absorbing it all, but for the sake of the child’s safety, I acted like I was fine and just focused on the information.

If her mother came out, she would be upset with Vani. And if she dared say anything bad about Helanie, I would lose my mind.

"Dad went to her boyfriend’s father, but they outright lied and said Helanie was a liar who trapped men. Then my father was paid a heavy amount to kill Helanie before she could go to the hospital and get a rape kit done. I had to help her run before she was caught and killed."

Vani stopped and turned her face away to wipe her tears.

"Are you a good guy, Emmet?" She turned back to me, batting her eyelashes sweetly.

She was such a nice kid. And the fact that she was dear to Helanie and cared for her made me almost instantly see her as a child I wanted to protect. _{ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com}

"I try to be," I replied, holding in my rage. But tears kept forming in my eyes. That little Helanie had gone through so much, but kudos to her spirit and strength—she kept fighting.
