Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 349

Chapter 349: 349-Am I A Monster?

Helanie:

"She took it well," Lamar said as he mentioned Lucy. We only told her whatever the others knew and not what Lamar and I were up to.

"Way too well," I reminded him how excited she got when she found out I am related to the Trainers.

"Yeah, she was hoping she would get some benefits," Lamar laughed as he mentioned her comments about how we will never get bullied again or get away with many messy things. As if she can do anything messy.

"She didn’t want to talk about Gavin, did she?" I pouted, feeling extremely guilty that now we will be stuck with two friends who can’t be around each other.

"She even asked me why I am letting Gavin live in my place. To be honest, she shouldn’t. Back when she knew I was awful to you, she was still pretty nice to me. Even when my presence would exhaust you, she would just throw herself at me. I understand she was doing it out of anger, but still—we should make a rule. If friends in the group are going to date, they should spare us from dragging us into it," Lamar explained, but I sighed and shook my head.

"Lamar, it doesn’t work that way. Lucy and I were friends, sure. But I am sure it is different now. If your friend is getting ditched and one of your friends is screwing them over, you will have to take a stand. Consequences are what make people not repeat the same mistakes," I wanted Lamar to know that when Lucy was being nice to him, that was when Lamar was actually showing remorse to me.

In fact, he had shown remorse way before that. So it was a different thing.

I was just confused and lost at this point.

"Lamar, why don’t you leave me near the mountain trail? I will walk my way up. I want to stretch my legs a little," I asked, and he nodded. The next thing I knew, he was dropping me off and heading back home.

Me:Are we going to train anymore?

I texted Norman with much reluctance. I didn’t want to beg him either, but I wanted to learn. He read my text and then responded with a simple word.

"No!"

That itself was a hint that he was done giving me any favors for free. I was sure Maximus had kicked me out of the club too, and I didn’t want to go work for him either.

So I was back to zero again.

I had been roaming around, taking slow and steady steps when I realized I wasn’t alone. I started to look around in panic, and then someone jumped out from behind the tree so suddenly that he was able to grab my wrists and pin me against the tree.

"Rayden!" I muttered, fear of being alone gnawing at me.

"Officially the rogue king’s stepsister, huh?" he referred to the engagement ceremony that he missed because they didn’t let him in.

"What the fuck, let me go," I hissed, struggling to free myself. The nasty smirk on his face terrified me.
