Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 435

Chapter 435: 435-My Mate Is Ready To Die For Me

Helanie:

I was slowly waking up, feeling cold. The hair on the back of my neck was standing up. The goosebumps were popping out of my skin.

"Lamar!!!" I screamed. "Gavin!!! Penn!" I called for my friends. "Salem!" I yelled as loud as I could, but nobody could hear me. Of course, they couldn’t.

I was far away, deep in the mountains.

And then, I started hearing the same cries I had heard the other night.

I understood what was happening now. Those crazy little creatures were coming out of their hiding spots, and the big monster was waiting to take shape again and swallow me.

"Ah!" I gasped, trying to catch my breath as I struggled again.

I moved my feet over and over, pushing my body forward, hoping my hands would somehow gain the strength to break free from the restraints, but nothing was working.

When I breathed, my nostrils felt almost blocked. With every breath I took or let out, I felt my skin freezing. I frantically tried to wake up, opening my eyes. But half of my body was already frozen from the cold, my legs feeling even worse.

It didn’t take long before I fully regained consciousness and realized I was out in the open, buried under the snow.

"No!" I muttered, shaking from both cold and fear. I tried to move, but my arms were tied to a tree in a way that my fingers couldn’t even touch each other.

"Hey! Help!" I screamed, breathing heavily through my open mouth. I was sure my skin was ice-cold, but that didn’t matter. The real horror was that I was tied up outside.

The creatures started jumping from the trees. One of them came straight toward me.

"Get away from me!" I yelled as it sniffed the ground, then crept closer to my foot. I angled my foot silently and then kicked it hard.

As it flew through the air, the others started attacking me.

"Arghhh!" I screamed, kicking a few away while some of them managed to bite my legs. Their bites were painful, like frostbite.

I felt one of them climb onto my body, all the way up to my chest. Its face was so close that I could see every little detail of its skin.

Then it hissed, opening its mouth wide to bite my neck. Its sharp teeth made me realize that if it bit me, I would die from blood loss.
