Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 427

Chapter 427: 427-He Loves His Cousin

Helanie:

I had never seen Emmet look so intense before, so I decided to leave his car. We were going to be at odds now. Given how much his family loved Romeo, I realized I would be going against so many people.

"No!" He grabbed my hand and prevented me from leaving. "You are not leaving just like that."

For a moment, I felt like he would become one of those people who get angry at me and then try to silence me.

"Let me go," I hissed, and the moment the look on my face changed to worry, he let me go. I stormed out of his car but didn’t realize he had come out after me.

"Helanie, I only let go of your hand because I didn’t want you to think I was holding you in my car against your will. But that doesn’t mean I don’t want answers," he demanded as he stepped in my way.

"You will find out soon," I said, attempting to sidestep him.

"No, I want to know now. Helanie, what did he do to you?" However, the way he asked his question already made me feel like he wouldn’t be one of those people.

"Tell me—is he—" He suddenly shut up, but my frown deepened.

"Helanie, is he one of those Alphas—" His question became clearer, and my heart sank in my chest.

"What do you mean—what do you know?" It finally clicked. All this time, he was always around me, protecting me, showing me compassion. Was it sympathy?

But how could he have known?

"Tell me, how do you know?" I yelled, stepping back from him. I wanted to tell him myself, but realizing he had known all along, while I had no clue, filled my heart with so much agony.

"Helanie," he attempted to come closer, but I stepped back. I wanted answers first.

"Before I tell you anything, I want you to sit down first," he said as he held my arm. Despite wanting to pull away, I tried to calm myself and listen to him. I knew I was taking my anger out on probably the wrong person, but I just didn’t want him to know and not talk to me about it.

All these weeks and days, I was terrified of the brothers finding out and thinking I was lying. If only he had told me he knew, I would have been at peace and wouldn’t have constantly lied to him.

I sat down in the backseat, my legs out, and he knelt down on the road before me. He was so big that he still towered over me even while I was in the car.

"I paid a visit to your sister a few weeks ago, and she told me everything," he confirmed, making my heart sink in my chest. I quickly closed my eyes, and my lips began to quiver.

Hearing about my sister again felt like I hadn’t seen her in ages.
