Chapter 589-He Is Losing It
Helanie:
I let her words sink in for a while before I gathered courage to dissect her statement.
"Charlotte--what does she mean by that?" I asked, my voice shaking. I was not dumb to not know what she meant, but what would it do?
"You probably know by now that the brothers are cursed. Their pain will start accelerating with time. And how long can someone live a normal life in such extreme pain? There’s a way to stop their pain from getting worse--if they find their fated mates and get marked. They must be marked before they--" she stopped, rubbing her palms nervously.
"But I’m so worried now. What if Maximus killed his mate in the woods? That’s why nobody came forward to tell the rogue brothers they saw a lycan in the woods and felt the mate bond with him," she rambled, rubbing her face with her hands anxiously.
"Umm, you heard her say that? She knows what could help her sons but she’s not telling them?" I scoffed, angry and also unsure how true this really was. Could Darcy be wrong and only saying this because she didn’t have another answer?
"I don’t know. But Helanie, she’s deeply involved in everything about her sons. I’m just really worried for Maximus, because what if it’s too late now? What if Maximus can’t even mark someone anymore? I’ve been losing sleep over this," she said, covering her face and breaking down again.
Even though we didn’t start off well, now that she wasn’t bothering me, her tears felt real. She did love Maximus a lot.
"It’ll be okay. I won’t let anything happen to Maximus," I told her. The way she stared at me in silence felt strange--like she was silently begging me to act quickly.
