Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 502

Chapter 502: 502-Big Hero

Helanie:

"You two are blaming the wrong person," I sighed, after hours of crying in front of them, wailing like an idiot.

"Why! Why is my life like this? I want to skin those Alphas alive. Why did Emmet decide to drink and abandon me... Why—" I had said all that for hours.

I was finally back to my senses. The fact that the two gave background noise—Kaye grunting and Maximus scoffing—made me feel like I wasn’t alone after all.

"Norman was getting married yesterday, but he delayed it. He knew what he was going to do. Or else, he could’ve just said—oh, I’ll get married, and so will Helanie and Emmet," Kaye rambled, shaking his head in disbelief.

"And how are we all so sure that Norman didn’t encourage Emmet to drink—" Kaye finally went quiet, probably realizing he was being too harsh on Norman. He was taking it too far.

"Do you all ever realize you put way too much pressure on Norman? And because everyone relies on him, he ends up upsetting a few," my words made them fall silent.

"You just got married to him and you’re already taking his side?" That little complaint came from Maximus.

"I’m just saying. I was really harsh to him at the council’s office—even when it wasn’t his fault. If anything, he was my savior last night. He knew how much everyone would hate him, yet he accepted me. Do you think he wanted this? Kaye, Maximus, go to his room and see for yourselves how he had been preparing for his wedding. I freaking stole his chance at happiness. I became his burden, so I’m asking you two not to do or say anything that would hurt him more," I said it all in a very calm and steady voice. I had cried my heart out, but now I had to get back on my feet.

"What about that picture? You said he didn’t even let you hold those photos," Kaye hissed, reminding me of the moment when my mate was drunk with his ex’s pictures.

"I shouldn’t have put Norman in that position. I can’t ask him to betray his brother and invade his privacy." I want to grow up now. Accusing and blaming the wrong people wasn’t something an adult should do.

The two were staring at me with teary eyes before Maximus tapped the back of his hand against his brother’s to get his attention.

"You’re also with Kesha—why were you standing up to marry Helanie?"

Now that the target had changed, Kaye scoffed and shrugged.

"I’m not going to answer you," he hissed, while I shook my head and smiled at the two bickering. A lonely tear slipped down the corner of my eye, and I sighed at the thought of going back to the mansion and facing Emmet again.

"I’ll head back now. My head is spinning, and I think I really need sleep. You two should rest too," I said while getting up, accidentally losing my balance. That’s when I felt two arms steady me.

I looked up and met the beautiful eyes of Kaye. His fingers moved gently against my skin, almost twitching while he held me still, mid-air. _{ƒгeewebnovёl.com}

"Kaye!" Maximus groaned, smacking him on the back to break our eye contact. "Let’s go home."

Kaye let go once he was sure I had my balance again.
