Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 693

Chapter 693: 693-Bed And Men

Ursula:

Many Years Ago:

"Where are we going, Thomas Niles?" I joked nervously, using his full name. I was trying to sound confident, even though my heart felt deeply unsettled.

We had been married for two months now, and I’d seen Thomas go from cheerful to creepy in mere minutes. I knew I shouldn’t be saying that about my mate, but it was the truth. There was another bitter truth behind our marriage: I never found my fated mate. I had to settle for a chosen one.

But it wasn’t all bad. At least, it shouldn’t have been.

Thomas had found me in the woods one day. He brought me home. He gave me love. He told me I needed a mate to be ranked and allowed to live in the pack. So I married him.

I was happy for a week. Then, he began to grow distant. He started to seem more secretive every day.

"We’re at a royal party," he said, leading me into a room full of men, royal men.

Probably Alphas and Betas.

"Umm... okay, but what are we doing among them?" I didn’t like the environment one bit.

As soon as I entered that place, my heart began to sink. I had never been to a royal house before. But even then, I knew enough to understand that there is never such a large bed in a living room. And then all those men were sitting there, wearing masks. I couldn’t see the face of a single one of them, and none of them were accompanied by their wives or mates, only men. And then there was me, the only woman standing there with my husband.

And the dress he had brought for me, which I had thought was a gift because he was feeling guilty for treating me badly last week, that too now seemed less like a gift and more like a purpose.

"Come on, Ursula, keep a smile on your face," Niles said to me. He did keep a smile on his own face, but the way he clenched the words between his teeth made it clear to me that he wasn’t happy about my sudden change in mood.

"Niles, take me home. I don’t want to stay here. I don’t want to be part of this party. What kind of party is this?" I looked around nervously and complained.

I wasn’t feeling good at all. First, he didn’t even tell me where we were going. Then suddenly, he brought me to this place among so many royal people. I couldn’t understand what right we Omegas had to even be here.

"Oh, just stop it already, you always have a habit of making a scene," Niles said. "The moment someone gives you even slightly better treatment, you start acting up. Look around—we’re among so many royal people, and you’re still creating problems here."

Suddenly, Niles pulled his hand away from mine and started confronting me.

Being surrounded by so many men made me feel uncomfortable. They were just sitting there, watching me, as if we were some kind of entertainment for them.

"Okay, fine. But what kind of place is this? Why is there such a big bed here? What is it for?"

I asked my man, looking him straight in the eyes.

"What do you mean, ’for whom’? It’s for both of us," Niles said with a smile.
