Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 538

Chapter 538: 538-He Came Back And I Lost My Control

Helanie:

I don’t know what had gotten into me, but I had lost my mind. I wanted to throw things and go find Norman.

"And do what?" my wolf asked, a hint of cheekiness in her voice.

"And beat him up for giving up. He should have fought and refused to go," I cried again, stomping my feet as I paced the hallway outside Emmet’s room.

He had made me come out of the room so he could get it cleaned before I hurt myself.

I was getting annoyed with them making me their priority and not putting themselves first.

I had walked all the way to Emmet’s room, and when I turned around to head the other way, I saw Emmet coming toward me.

"He’s back," he said from a distance, pointing his thumb over his shoulder.

"What?" I stopped dead in my tracks, eyes wide.

"They set him free," he repeated, still walking.

And sure enough, right behind him, I saw Norman standing at the end of the hallway. For a moment, I thought about pinching myself. Maybe I had fainted and this was some kind of twisted dream where the Moon Goddess wanted to mock me.

But no! He was real. And he had come straight to where I was, to show me he was back.

I ran like crazy, smiling wide and crying tears of joy.

However, I didn’t notice—or realize—that Emmet might have misunderstood until I passed him.

He had stopped and was staring at me as I crossed him.

At that moment, I could have stopped, but I don’t know why I couldn’t. I ran until I jumped into Norman’s arms and hugged him.

He caught me as I wrapped my legs around his waist and held him tight.

"You idiot—" I started to mumble, still holding on.

His hands were in the air until he placed them on my butt when he probably noticed I was slipping.

That’s when I raised my face from his neck and smiled at him.

"You’re back!" I said. That brief moment of eye contact meant everything.

I thought he’d be upset when he came back. Norman had a huge ego, so being taken to the prison must have hurt his pride.

But no!

The way his eyes were glowing as he held me tight didn’t show even a hint of hurt pride.

I buried my face back into his neck—until I heard Jessica’s voice.

"Norman?" her soft whisper made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. It was as if I had completely forgotten about her existence.

I quickly unwrapped my legs from around his waist and slipped down.

But Norman’s smile faded, and I had to pull his arms off me myself and step away from him.

Jessica, who looked shocked at the way I had hugged her fiancé, now came rushing into his arms.

I noticed Kaye and Maximus standing behind her as well.

"You are here," Norman uttered like he was in disbelief. He must be so worried that his lover had caught him carrying another woman. And it wasn’t even his fault.

It hit me all of a sudden that I had been such a fool to forget—he wasn’t my husband at all.
