Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 200

Chapter 200: 200-The Hero’s Entry

Helanie:

That was all for the night. Thankfully, Lamar didn’t delve into the topic further. Lucy was already asleep in the bed. Lamar told me that he brought her back after she acted unusually cold. Jenny and the others had returned by the time I was at the tenth floor. I slept through most of the night but had a few nightmares. I frequently woke up to make sure the door was locked and that the Alpha hadn’t gotten in.

"Isn’t it getting colder?" Lucy whispered, walking beside me toward the academy. Our uniforms were neatly pressed, and our shoes were shining--not because it was a special day, but because while trying to distract her mind, Lucy had found a new obsession with cleaning everything.

Not only that, but Salem was going to come after class to clean the room, and I didn’t plan to spare her.

Last night had been a lot for all of us. Our friend group was all messed up now.

"I think it will snow in a few days," Lamar said, running up to catch up with us.

"Lamar, why is your tie all messed up?" Lucy grunted at him, making him look down at his tie and shrug.

We were rushing together with a bunch of other students. I noticed Jenny and Penn walking ahead of us. Once Jenny heard our voices, she slowed down to match our pace, but I sped up to walk alongside Penn. I owed him an apology for ditching him the other day.

"Hey," I greeted him, but as soon as I spoke, he sped up, leaving me behind.

"Umm, it’s okay. He’ll be fine soon," Jenny caught up to me and reassured me that everything would be okay soon.

I honestly didn’t want to try too hard to make things okay. I guess I was just fine this way. I had too much on my plate anyway.

"Guys, you go ahead and book seats for us while I go put my stuff in the locker," I announced, rushing toward the lockers. The class would begin in a few minutes, and I needed to be there. It was Emmet’s class. Now, we had three ongoing classes: Professor Emmet’s, Kaye’s, and Maximus training.

Kaye would mostly give us lectures on herbs and introduce us to the herbs found in the rogue community.

I placed my bag in the locker, but before I could shut it, someone slammed the door shut in my face, making my heart sink in my chest at the sight of Rayden. Seeing him so early in the morning was bizarre.

"Hm, it’s nice to see you got a backup, but don’t get too full of yourself just because some Omegas tried to defend you. But I must say, you surprised me last night. You seem to be growing more confident now," he said, leaning against the locker, locking me behind him as he spoke with crazy confidence and a nasty, hissing tone.

I was starting to feel agitated around him. He was like a blood-sucking parasite who would drain me dry.

"But I’ll do my best to squash a little creature like you under my shoes very soon," he smirked, his hand reaching out to grab a strand of my hair. My heart sank again.
