Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 396

Chapter 396: 396-The Barbarians

Helanie:

"Take this," Hans quickly opened the bag he carried with some food and water in it and placed an ice pack over my eye.

"You can still run?" he asked me. Sydney had run away to join her team.

"What the fuck happened?" While Lamar’s team was passing us, he slowed down to check on me.

"Dude, go!" I yelled at him, eyeing him with my one eye so he wouldn’t lose the test because of me. He reluctantly ran away. Many people passed us. We even got to find out that Penn’s team got the riddle wrong on the first attempt.

"I can, let’s go." Without wasting another minute, I was up on my feet again. Now we knew they could attack us from all directions, so we were cautious.

We began to sprint as fast as we could, and I realized I still needed more strength from my wolf. While running, I got so anxious and hyper that I started calling for my wolf.

’Listen, I know you don’t want to be my wolf—hence you don’t want to come out. But please, give me a chance. I won’t put all the work on you.’ I just had a feeling that maybe my wolf found out that she belonged to a loser like me and decided to fucking dip.

’Please—help me—’ I begged as I felt my legs giving up.

However, I felt a tingling sensation in my legs as if they were giving me a hint. I followed them and turned toward the water passing by.

"What are you doing?" Hans yelled after me when I jumped into the water. I had never even seen or taken a single lesson on swimming. So the minute I was in the water, I started to fucking drown.

"Oh no," I heard Hans yell and jump after me. In the next few minutes, he had dragged me out and was glaring me down.

"I will not ask you to explain yourself. But maybe your body caught the heat from your wolf trying to put pressure to help," he just made up an excuse and then gestured for us to keep running.

I didn’t understand. If I was devastated before, this act of deception from my wolf—or whatever caused me to jump in the water—really kicked me down. I could not even ask my wolf to come out for help anymore. She almost drowned me.

So I kept going and reached the other mountain. We took a little break to drink some water and hand food over to the other teammates.

"All the teams have gone barbarian. They are attacking us and hitting us. Why aren’t we doing anything?" One of the guys from our team raised a concern, and Hans looked over at me.

"I have told you guys, we cannot divert our attention away from the main goal. Our goal is to find the item and reach the finish line," I reminded them again, but I could tell they were not satisfied. _{ƒгeewebnovёl.com}
