Chapter 24-I Will Work For My Stepbrother
Helanie:
"It is easy for you to make up rules for others. You don’t need to go out and find work or think about where you would be sleeping for the night. I am scared and alone, and I am trying to do my best to still find a way to make my life worth living. So, no! I won’t allow you to judge me or tell me that I am disqualified," I hissed, a large tear finally breaking from the corner of my eye.
The frown on his forehead unfolded, and he finally stepped back from me.
"You don’t have a place to crash at?" he asked as if I hadn’t told the brothers that I wouldn’t be going back home.
"I left my pack forever," I muttered, not hesitating in my responses.
"But why?" His tone softened a lot, but that didn’t mean he would be humble with me.
"I just did. I no longer wanted to live with my father, who had only seen me as a burden. I didn’t want to be sold to the neighbor or receive the worst punishment for disobeying him." I was discreet, not explaining in detail what had initially led me to leave.
But it was true that my stepbrother had always asked my father to make me marry some rich old werewolf.
Maximus looked lost, but I could tell he did not expect that to be my response.
