Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 48

Chapter 48: 48-Her Scent Of Blood

Maximus:

I drove to the shelter, not keeping the time or the rain in mind. Since Kaye refused to talk about Helanie’s perfect dream, I wanted to ask her myself. Something must have happened in that dream prison that changed Kaye so much. He looked so lost.

"I have a very bad feeling about this. What will you even say when calling her out of the shelter at this time of night?" Xim questioned, showing his reluctance to support my idea of confronting her.

"I will say we brothers decided to ask her one last time if she still wants to be part of the tests after what happened—" I paused mid-sentence, "I’ll just make up some excuse. It’s not like anyone can dare to ask me any questions." _{freewebnoveℓ.com}

I was growing impatient; my veins felt like they were about to explode. Why wouldn’t Kaye want to talk about what happened in the dream prison? Did he really not remember anything like he claimed? If that were true, then why the change of heart?

Once I reached the road where we parked our cars to head toward the shelter, I sighed and remained in my seat. The way my two brothers had changed worried me. Emmet and Kaye were the most dangerous people anyone could come into contact with. Emmet had spent many years of his life showing no feelings or emotions to anyone around him, and Kaye simply hated everyone. If they could be convinced by her stupid games, then I was a very weak person when it came to women.

"Just think—we cannot do anything with her because she is our stepsister," Xim spoke up, voicing what I wasn’t saying out loud.

"Of course I’m not tempted by her," I felt offended that he even brought it up. But was it a lie?

Suddenly, a flashback of us washing my car together came to mind. I remembered when her dress became see-through, revealing her bra. It was so difficult to look away from her. If she weren’t my stepsister, I would have ripped her clothes off and chewed that bra off to suck her nipples—

"No, no, no! She is my stepsister!" I instantly yelled in my car, taking deep breaths.

"She is taking over everyone’s heart," my wolf shocked me when he phrased it that way.

"Not mine," I refused to believe that and got out of the car to confront her. As I marched down the dark trail, I prepared my questions in my head. Once outside the shelter, I watched it stand tall. All the students had their cars and bikes parked on the road except for Helanie. She had nothing. I walked over to the shelter and knocked on the door.

I expected everyone to be fast asleep, but it was surprising how quickly Sydney opened the door. I recognized her because she was the first one to cross the line the other day.

"Maximus McQuoid?" Her eyes grew wide, and her lips quickly rubbed together to look presentable. She ran her fingers through her wet hair and then smiled widely.

Did she just take a shower, or was she out in the rain?

"You must have a candidate here who was last in yesterday’s test? What is her name—" I pretended to think, even though it would sound strange that I arrived at this time to speak to a candidate, "Helanie."

Sydney raised her brow, checking me out from head to toe.
