Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates

Helanie:

I felt so uncomfortable when I saw Lucy coming over to join us with Sydney and Salem. She even had her arm wrapped around Sydney’s as if they were best friends.

"This is crazy," Lamar muttered before they reached us.

"And now we know who the real toxic one is," Penn grumbled, shaking his head with a sly grin on his lips.

"Hey everyone, I hope you don’t mind me bringing my friends too," Lucy giggled as she reached us. Sydney scanned the crowd for me, and when her eyes landed on me, she smirked and winked.

I slammed my hands on the table and stood up. "I have some assignments pending. I’m heading back to my room."

I wasn’t going to stick around and deal with Sydney’s remarks, which she instantly started making the minute she heard me say I wanted to leave.

"Come on, Helanie, don’t be a baby. I came here in peace." Sydney rolled her eyes, while Salem looked down after getting a glare from Gavin.

"I don’t want to sit at the same table as you," I snapped at Sydney, who rolled her eyes again.
