Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 535

Chapter 535: 535-My Husband Got Arrested

Helanie:

"The weapon found had Norman’s fingerprints on it, and his DNA was all over the crime scene as well," Lord McQuoid explained to me while his sons stayed on the call with the council heads. Emmet was standing among the warriors with Norman in our bedroom.

I was asked to wait for Norman outside in the living room while they discussed the issues in there.

My mother stood beside Lord McQuoid, always silent, like a shadow.

"So? They’re going to arrest him for it? Let’s just say, even if Norman did do it, why would they arrest him for killing a scumbag like him? Zellu confessed to murdering his sister. Doesn’t that count as guilty and worthy of the death penalty?" I was rambling, but also listening to my faint heartbeat.

"But I know Norman didn’t do it," I added quickly. Charlotte had a weird look on her face as she stood in the corner with her arms folded over her chest. Her mother, as always, stood with her like a statue.

"They won’t punish him for the murder since Zellu confessed to murder and rape. But they will punish Norman for using the forbidden weapon on an alpha. We had a deal with the council and the packs that we won’t use weapons, especially that one, on any alpha," Lord McQuoid said, and it was then that I began to realize Norman was in trouble.

However, I was certain Norman didn’t kidnap Zellu. At least one of his brothers would have found out.

"What punishment will he get?" I inquired, watching their faces as my heartbeat slowed.

"They will stab him with the same dagger and make him confess his dirty secrets in front of everyone and then put him in prison for ten years," Lord McQuoid sighed, looking so tense and exhausted.

"No!" I muttered to myself before starting to scream. "NOOO!" I stomped my feet, getting irritated at the injustice.

"Helanie, it’s not up to us to do anything. We can either hand him over or start a war," Lord McQuoid said, gesturing at Charlotte to get me water, and I saw how she rolled her eyes before dragging her feet to get it.

"No, no, no! This is not fair. Then let’s do the war," I said. As soon as I said that, Charlotte almost dropped the glass.

"Are you crazy? We’ll be outnumbered," Charlotte complained with a hiss.

"So what? You want my son to get punished?" It was Darcy, who had arrived after probably hearing about the arrest of her son.

"But I’m just saying—," Charlotte bit her tongue before stepping away.

"Don’t speak when it’s about my son," Darcy hissed at her, and Charlotte quickly ran to stand beside her mother.

"Darcy, why are you here?" Lord McQuoid turned to her, his tone harsher than ever.

"Huh? My son is getting arrested, and you’re asking me why I’m here?" she yelled, looking over his shoulder at me.

"You! You’re the reason he’s getting arrested. All your dirts are being thrown at my sons, don’t you feel guilty?" she screamed at me, and my mother slowly started to walk to the side, where she could see us all properly.

"I will not let him get arrested," I said confidently.

"What’s going on?" he asked, taking quick strides to reach me where I was now. _{fɾēewebnσveℓ.com}
