Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 511

Chapter 511: 511-Want To Be Her Hero

Darius:

We had been sitting together in my room, drinking and talking about the trial and Helanie. If I needed to get Helanie away from her protectors, I had to separate her from those rogue brothers.

She was their stepsister for only a year—I’m sure they can’t be that attached to her.

But why the heck did Norman marry her? There’s no way he felt the mate bond with her that night specifically. They planned it.

"We can manipulate Emmet against Helanie," I suggested, watching Romeo shake his head almost instantly.

"That will be nearly impossible. Emmet doesn’t really let others influence him. He only believes what he sees and his own judgment. I lived with the brothers for a while when I was little. My mother used to leave me with them during vacations. If anything, Emmet was the hardest one to fool. He wouldn’t believe a word coming from someone else."

That was frustrating.

"What about Maximus and Kaye?" I watched him zone out, like he was trying to remember what they were like. _{freewebnovel.cσ๓}

"Maximus can be manipulated. But you’d have to use love against him. And we don’t even know who the love of his life is right now."

He sounded so annoyed when talking about Maximus. I’d noticed it in his body language—he always got super competitive whenever it came to Maximus.

"But he has a mate now—Charlotte," I reminded him, and only then did he nod, though something told me he already knew about her.

"That innocent one? I wonder what she saw in him," he scoffed.

"Umm, the mate bond?" I raised my eyebrow, then my glass to toast with him.

"Ugh, why would the Moon Goddess give her to him as a mate? She’s too good for him. Besides, I know his secrets. There’s no way he could’ve felt a mate bond with her or anyone on full moon night."

Romeo was a little too talkative today, so I tried to get as much info out of him as possible.

Usually, he would hide all the gossip about his family from me, and it always bothered me.

We were friends. Friends who had committed crimes together. Why couldn’t he share his cousin’s secrets with me?

"Hmm, what about Kaye?" I watched him nod.

"Only his mother can manipulate him. He’s got mommy issues," he laughed, and I laughed with him.
