Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 609

Chapter 609: 609-A Sacrifice

Kaye:

"We’ve put him in the same cage we built for Maximus. And, umm, Maximus informed everyone not to return. Also, do we need to change his clothes? What if he wakes up in the middle, and since he doesn’t remember us, the animal in him thinks—" I was yapping from a distance before I even entered Emmet’s room to see Norman.

However, I found Norman on his knees, going through paper after paper.

"What are you doing? And what is all this mess?" I asked Norman, who slowly turned to me with red eyes. I could see tears.

This was serious because Norman was usually the one who kept himself together.

"Norman! What you got in your hand? What is that?" I knelt down and grabbed a paper from his hand. My eyes widened in slow motion when I read the words written.

"What the fuck is this?" I gasped, grabbing more papers from the ground. The writing was frantic, something Emmet would’ve written after he forgot everything.

But the words were clear. It asked for Helanie’s sacrifice to bring back Azura.

"Maybe Emmet didn’t write it," I placed my hand on Norman’s shoulder to comfort him, though I was freaking out too.

"She is pregnant with my child," Norman muttered, and a helpless tear rolled down his cheek.

"Norman," I couldn’t bring myself to lie to him and say Emmet didn’t write it. It wouldn’t make sense. Azura was Emmet’s girlfriend, who else could have wanted her back?

The fact that Emmet wrote about a well, and that the same night Helanie went missing Emmet wasn’t around either, just made it all make sense.

"He probably didn’t even remember Helanie when he wrote that," I tried to reason, and Norman nodded, sniffling.

"I know. I know he forgot, and that’s why this happened. But either way, Helanie didn’t deserve this. She shouldn’t have been caught up in this mess, suffering because of our curses," Norman finally said the words we hadn’t been able to speak out loud.

"I’m sure Emmet didn’t do it. He might’ve written it all down, but I don’t think—" I couldn’t lie anymore. He very possibly could have done it because he forgot about Helanie.

He even attacked us and many innocent people at the bar. To him, Helanie might be no one—just a way to get back his lost love.

"Wait! this well. We need to find it. Maybe Helanie is there? Hiding from him? Maybe she’s fine. The baby has to be fine too. We must not waste any more time," I patted Norman’s back, and only then did he get to his feet.

He had always been there for us, and to see him so broken made me feel guilty. As he kept rubbing his chest, I knew one of his heartbeats was struggling.

"Is it because of Emmet?" I asked, and he nodded his head.

"The pain I felt for Maximus was nothing compared to this. Not only is my brother in pain, but he might be the reason my mate is missing," Norman said through clenched teeth but not from anger. It was because he was hurting and wanted to keep his voice steady.
