Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 512

Chapter 512: 512-Slut Shaming Much?

Helanie:

"But that wouldn’t change anything. She won’t receive any special treatment. It’s not even my decision—Helanie wants to stay in the hostel during weekdays and finish her academy like everyone else, under the same rules," Norman had given a whole speech about the mistrial and how he felt the mate bond with me.

I could tell the students were shocked and in disbelief. It’s not every day that a student marries their professor—especially an RVS professor. But he said it was important to be open about it, because it wasn’t something taboo.

"Now, just because she won’t be receiving any extra favors doesn’t mean any of you get to pick on her," Maximus added, his eyes landing on Sydney.

I hadn’t looked her way since I arrived. I knew she was looking for a moment alone with me.

"Now, please head back to your classes. Emmet will be taking the juniors, and I’ll meet the seniors at the training ground in a minute," Norman then announced the schedule for the day, and everyone started to scatter.

My friends and I had briefly met before we were called to the ground. Penn had been awfully quiet—and he was actually the one I hadn’t seen since morning. But now we were all heading to the breakfast hall together.

"So, you married Norman—the one who wasn’t your mate?" Lamar elbowed me, laughing a little while I pouted.

"Norman—he’s so big and like, beastly. How was the first night?" Salem joined in from the other side, walking beside me and giggling until she told me what she imagined our relationship was like.

"Umm, no—we’re not married like that," I turned to her and whispered. The other students walked ahead while our group stayed behind.

"You must’ve planned this before the wedding day. Is that why you were so chill about marrying Kaidon? Because you knew you wouldn’t actually end up with him?"

Penn gently pushed Lamar and Gavin aside to come stand right in front of me.

Oh shoot!

I forgot I had told them I had a plan.

"No, we had... someone else in mind. But then that someone just ghosted," I shut up quickly, feeling weird talking about Emmet like he was some stranger.

But I couldn’t tell Penn about me being mated to all the rogue brothers—not yet.

Or maybe I will. But the others shouldn’t know. I can’t deal with Charlotte and Kesha right now.

"But Norman was supposed to marry Jessica. I heard she took pills the moment she found out he married you, and they had to pump her stomach," Penn said, and my jaw hit the floor.

I couldn’t believe she tried to end her life—and the moment she was okay, she ran to check on us and didn’t even tell us what she’d been through.

"That’s not a problem. I had a talk with her—she’s cool. She understands I had no other choice. Besides, I told her I’ll reject her groom next full moon," I shrugged, feeling way more relaxed knowing I’d cleared things up with Jessica.
