Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 430

Chapter 430: 430-The Brothers Vs Me

Helanie:

"So, what exactly were you two doing outside at that time?" Norman asked in a much hushed tone, his hands on his waist. The night had passed with great difficulty.

The initial loud screams had woken up the entire academy, and everyone gathered inside, ready to fight back if anything came at them. I then found out how hard it was for others to hold my friends down once they realized I wasn’t in the academy. I’m so glad they didn’t leave to look for me and were instead chained in the basement. Staying inside was a much safer option for them.

However, after I arrived, they were let go, and everyone had one question in their eyes: ’What was I doing with Emmet at that hour of the night?’

"I sensed something in the air and remembered how Helanie had told me the same thing, so I asked Argona to bring her to me. It was an urgent matter, it couldn’t wait until morning. And guess what? I was right," Emmet shrugged, casually lying. But the way Norman squeezed his eyes shut was enough to tell me he didn’t believe a single word that came out of his brother’s mouth.

The others, however, wouldn’t question it. Since they all knew I was his stepsister, they got over it as easily as they had gotten excited about it.

Norman gestured for us to move to the side so we could talk about more serious matters without alarming the students. _{ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com}

Morning had arrived, but the snow hadn’t gone away. It was like winter had returned.

The students had been asked to return to their rooms, but they refused a few times. They wanted answers.

"Okay, everyone, here’s the deal: We will meet again in the dining hall, where a special treat will be waiting for you. Also, no more classes for now, and you can enjoy a few days off until further notice," Maximus took it upon himself to scatter them off.

Some of the students were relieved to hear about the great feast they would get, while others began whispering about wanting to go home until then.

"We will make a decision and let you know how long before you return for classes. Which means--yes! If it’s too many days, you can go back home," Kaye added, helping Maximus out.

The students seemed somewhat relieved and decided to leave for their dorm rooms.

"Again?" I asked, not realizing the brothers had turned to me in disapproval.

"What? I’m serious. It’s like every time something happens, you send the students away so that the ugly truth of how dangerous the rogue land is stays a secret." I shook my head, not realizing they weren’t used to hearing me voice my opinion so directly.

But after some encouragement from Emmet, I began to realize I could speak up too.

"A word outside, ma’am?" Norman taunted, gesturing for me to follow the brothers outside.

Well, at least they were including me in their discussion.

I followed them out and sighed at the snow.
