Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates

Chapter 738: 738-My Mates Are Lying

Helanie:

"No, Helanie, it’s fine. I don’t want to misplace you," Jessica said, making me secretly glance at Norman, who was glaring at me with his fists clenched.

"No, Jessica, it’s fine. I can come back to my room tomorrow. Actually, it’s quite late and I don’t want you to go through the trouble of walking to the other wing. I’ll just stay in any other room," I stated, almost too afraid of Norman’s eyes.

"Yeah, it’s okay, Jessica. You should stay." And then Norman spoke up. His tone was so harsh that Jessica looked terrified of him.

"No, Norman, I did not want to stay here. I swear," she began to stutter in so much fear that even I was shocked.

I wanted to step in and let her know it was fine, she could go and sleep anywhere. But at this point, I guess I had pissed Norman off so much that he was retaliating.

"No, please, you are going to stay here. You are my marked mate now. And you know what—" Then he turned to look at me while still speaking to Jessica.

"We are going to mate tonight, right?" he said to Jessica, but his eyes were on me. Jessica wasn’t the only one whose eyes widened, even I was in shock.

"And I am pretty sure Helanie wouldn’t mind. Why would she? She has too many mates to care for. So what if one of them sleeps with someone else, right?" I did not expect him to lose his temper like that. And I guess even Jessica noticed. But now she was just staying silent.

"So please stay. And Helanie, please close the door when you leave," he asked. And I guess I deserved it. I should not have intervened. It was his business. And it’s not that I would be okay. I’d be going crazy now if he slept with her,

"Norman," I tried to speak, when he showed me his finger.

"It’s my time with my other mate, Helanie. Please leave." He said it so sternly, but I was not offended. I was feeling guilty because I knew why he was doing this. It was all my fault. noveldrama

Jessica didn’t say anything while I walked between them.

"Actually," as I tried to speak again, Norman pointed with his whole hand toward the door. And at this point, I knew I could not say anything to make him let me stay.

I awkwardly walked out of the room, and then I heard Norman slam the door shut so loud behind me that I almost squeezed myself closer. Then it was just silence. I stood outside the door with my back facing it. I hadn’t moved, and I guess at this point five minutes had passed. Then I began to slowly walk away. I came across Maximus’s room, and I knew that Charlotte was not staying there. She was in her own room. But when I was passing Kaye’s room, I heard some whispering from inside.

It definitely did not sound like Kaye. So I realized that Kesha was probably the one in his room, but why?

It honestly made me clench my fists. I know I wanted to give them a chance, but if he had been man enough to tell me to my face what he was going to do, I would have appreciated it. He made me believe that he wouldn’t touch her, that he wouldn’t share a room with her. But here he was, doing goddess knows what with her.

So I decided to have a peek. I know I was being petty, but it was my mansion. I could do whatever I wanted. I convinced myself. I walked over to the staircase and opened one of the windows. I climbed out, and there was a very narrow pipe going all the way to the back of the mansion. I started to climb that pipe, reaching over to Kaye’s bedroom window in the back. I was honestly scared. I’d never done something like that, but I wanted to be sure of what I was accusing him of. Most of the time, when men get caught cheating, they just lie to your face. So I wanted to be certain before I made any accusations or even decided whether Kaye wanted to be with both of his mates. So I started to go through the window, and like I had expected from the voices, it was her with him. I watched him sit on his couch with his arms spread, his body relaxed and leaning all the way back.

Kesha was sitting beside him, her legs bent under her hips, her hand stretched out and holding on to his left hand. Then her tongue was so deep in his throat that I swear I could see his throat moving. His big neck was in my view because he had his head stretched all the way back. My body started to warm up, and I began to walk back toward the staircase.

I don’t know if I was hurt, if I was angry that he lied, or if I was just expecting him to be decent enough to give me a heads-up. They had made me believe they wouldn’t do anything with the mates, that they were only keeping them because of the curse.

I began to pace downstairs angrily, but once I was in the garden and had taken a lot of fresh air in, I decided I needed to do more research. I knew Emmet was alone in his room. Azura was said to be sleeping in the same guest room where I had stayed when I first arrived at the mansion. Now it was Jessica and Norman. Norman had already told me what he was going to do. So he gave me a heads-up, and I knew Norman was a very angry man.

So what if he did something in a fit of rage? Would he be responsible for it, or would it be my fault for pushing him too far?

I started to climb the wall just to see what was going on. Norman and Kaye’s rooms were on opposite sides of the mansion, both in the corners. Once I began to climb the wall, I reached Norman’s window. I was too scared to peek inside, but I still did. And I was surprised, to say the least.
