Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates

Helanie:

"Good job," Emmet clapped for Jenny, who had just tossed a warrior to the ground during training. We had been working extremely hard because we wanted Emmet’s team to win.

He looked so muscular in his t-shirt, his bulging biceps and tattoos making him look even hotter than usual.

I had to look away multiple times to stop myself from staring at him. I guess the mate bond was making me go crazy. And sadly, sometimes my body would even heat up at the sight of Kaye and Maximus as well—both of whom had already made it clear they had moved on from me.

That’s why rejection was important for me. They were powerful, so I didn’t know if that helped their wolves stay in control of their body heat.

"Everyone, come here!" Norman yelled, and all the teams started gathering on the main ground for the announcement.

"You were amazing today," Jenny patted my back, recalling how I had gone all out on the ground. I used all the moves Norman had taught me, along with the tricks and techniques Rudy had been helping me with.

I was surprised when I knocked down a big warrior. I could have never done that if I hadn’t enrolled in this academy.

We all stood together, teams lined up in front of their trainers. My ears were ringing, and my body was still heating up from the intense workout. I looked around and noticed the others looking red and flustered too.

So it was fine. Everyone else was exhausted too.

I probably wasn’t the only one checking on others, comparing my strength with theirs.
