Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 407

Chapter 407: 407-So He Is Innocent?

Helanie:

"I can’t even say I’m innocent in all this because the only person who was truly innocent that night was you." He was still sitting on the ground, recalling that night and how he ended up becoming an accomplice to those alphas.

"Helanie, are you okay?" Lamar gently nudged me since I hadn’t spoken in the last few minutes.

"Oh, what?" I asked Lamar. "He claims he was drugged, so that makes him not so guilty. What do I do now?" I stomped my foot on the ground, annoyed by this new revelation. If that makes him innocent, then who will I take my anger out on?

"I am not innocent. I chose to do drugs," Kaidon muttered, and I turned my face to the other side, disgusted by his voice, so he quickly shut up.

"Listen, I’m not asking you to forgive me—" As Kaidon started speaking again, Lamar rushed over to him and grabbed him by the collar.

"How do we know you’re not lying? Who can tell if you were actually drugged? And how are we supposed to believe you didn’t know your sick alpha friends mixed something else into your drugs?" Lamar shouted at him while I kept hugging myself and looking away.

It wasn’t easy to look this man in the eye and not remember how they had seen me that night. The miserable state they had caught me in that night.

"I want to help you." As soon as those words left his lips, my head snapped toward him.

I watched Lamar slowly turn his neck to see if I had caught what Kaidon just said.

"How?" I asked.

"I will—" He shut up as he looked behind us. For a second, it felt like my whole existence froze. My mind raced, wondering who might be behind us.

"I should have known you would be coming after my son for trouble." It was Benita, holding her phone in her hand with a tracker device on.

She had a tracker on her son’s phone?

"Mom! What are you doing here?" Kaidon quickly freed his collar from Lamar’s grasp to make it seem like we weren’t threatening him and raised his voice. However, the fear in his voice was still obvious.

"What are they making you do?" she screamed, rushing past me and elbowing me on the way to the side. She then shoved Lamar away to reach her son.

"Nothing. They are my friends," Kaidon argued, but she slapped him, making my hands fly to my mouth.

"Liar! I heard it. They’re convincing you of some nonsense, and you’re falling for it." She was so aggressive, shoving her son away from us.

"I am not convincing him of anything!" I screamed back at her. The way she clenched her fists gave me the idea that she was trying to warn me not to raise my voice at her.

"If I see you hovering around my son again, I will call the council and get you kicked out of your damn academy. Stay away from my son! He doesn’t want to sleep with you," she screamed at the top of her lungs, making me clench my jaw at her words.
