Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 467

Chapter 467: 467-His Mate Isn’t Fond Of Me

Helanie:

I rushed downstairs before they could get out and see me outside the room. Kesha was the last person I would want to mess up with. Kaye loved her and really cared for her, so he would definitely take her side, and that would hurt.

Not that he would be wrong. He had every right to defend his chosen mate.

"Where were you?" Emmet saw me and quickly walked over, a drink in his hand.

As soon as I tried taking that drink away, he pulled his hand behind his back.

"What are you doing?" He raised his brow, smiling as he asked me.

"You need to quit drinking," I said in a firm tone. I wanted to be there for them and help them out just like they had been helping me.

"Um, what?" He smiled as if he couldn’t believe what I had just said.

"Why? Is that too much to ask?" I placed my hands on my hips, Kaye’s concerns still in my mind.

I couldn’t bring myself to smile when I was so lost in the thoughts of the conversation I had just overheard.

"No! You have every right, but I’m impressed by the boldness," he said as he slowly brought his hand forward and gave me the drink. The minute I grabbed it, I tried to down it in one go. _{ƒreewebηoveℓ.com}

Or at least I thought I could. The moment it started running down my throat, I coughed, and the whole drink splattered on my face.

"Hey," Emmet grabbed the glass and started rubbing my back in concern. "Let’s take you to the side," he suggested, helping me to the kitchen. He handed me a napkin and even helped me clean my face and hands.

"Now, tell me, what was that?" He placed one hand on his waist and the other on the counter before lifting me by my waist and setting me on top of it.

"I was outside Kaye’s room, and I heard some things," I admitted, afraid he would judge me. But instead, he seemed genuinely interested in what I had heard, so I continued. "Something is going on with Kaye, Emmet. He and Kesha were talking, and Kaye was telling her how he feels suffocated. She was telling him that he should go hunting."

I didn’t want to hide anything from Emmet. It was about time we all paid attention to what was happening with Kaye. He had been struggling for a while, and we had only been avoiding it.

"Hmm, that’s odd. Why would he go hunting to calm his nerves?" Emmet questioned, thankfully looking as confused as I was.
