Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 593

Chapter 593: 593-Divided We Fall

Helanie:

"Norman, please," I whispered from behind him, breaking their attention from each other. I felt so guilty that I wanted to run far away from all of them.

"Amazing. Threatening your brother—the one you claimed to love. Is it too much to ask you to at least let us know?" Kaye slapped his hand away again. "Fine, we’ll never speak of you or your mate again." Kaye’s eyes shifted to me, and he hissed, making a decision that would hurt his brother.

"But let me tell you a secret—we will not reject her either. Let us all play with fire," Kaye finished, shocking me with how angry he was.

"Helanie," Norman reached back and took my hand to show Kaye that none of these things about me bothered him and that he stood by the decision that he could love his brothers and me at the same time, "let’s go take Maximus home."

He said it to Kaye, but the minute we took a step toward Maximus, Kaye stepped in our way.

"No! You two will stay away from my brother. Emmet and I will take care of him. You two should go home, plan your honeymoon or whatever crap you want to do behind our backs," Kaye yelled, using his finger to gesture for us to move away.

"We can do it, Emmet? Right?" Kaye didn’t turn to Emmet but waited for his response.

In a calm and casual way, Emmet stepped toward Kaye and then bent down to pick up Maximus from the ground and put him on his back. It was his way of showing he was siding with Kaye.

"But he is my brother too," I felt Norman’s body shake as he asked Kaye to let him carry Maximus. The lycan was heavy, so they would need to take turns carrying him, and Norman wanted to be part of it.

"We were just your subjects of interest. Broken brothers you wanted to fix, and in return, you took a heavy price from us," Kaye hissed, his eyes landing on me once again before he turned to walk away with Emmet.

"Norman, are you okay?" I felt so guilty that even speaking a word was hard for me at that moment.

"Did you hear him? How could he do this to me? How could they—I cared for them for years, Helanie. I would have told them everything, but it all happened so fast. And you guys were all broken up," he started explaining himself to me, and it brought tears to my eyes.

I never thought Norman would be so devastated.

"All my life, I’ve put them above myself, and I don’t regret it, but they—they won’t even let me see Maximus anymore. He is my brother—they are my baby brothers—I’m not selfish," as his voice broke, I got to see a side of him I don’t ever want to see again. I want Norman to shine like the arrogant one—that suits him.

This one was too broken and it broke me.
