Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates

Helanie:

"Mom, you’re talking about my wife. What makes you think you will suggest something like that and I will agree to it?" Norman’s hands gripped the steering wheel even harder as he hissed at her. I could see the veins popping in his arms. He was really angry at that moment.

I was honestly too shocked to even utter a word. I just sat with my spine erect, goosebumps all over my skin and my throat dry.

"She’s not only your wife, she’s also everyone’s mate. Your brothers’ mate. How come you’re gatekeeping her? What happened to my selfless son? Saw a gorgeous blonde and became selfish?" It was the way she was speaking, as if she were taunting him.

I was taking heavy, long breaths. My mind had gone numb.

"Do you ever want to see us again? You better start treating Helanie as my wife and the Luna Queen of the North. I don’t believe a word you’re saying—" he was angrily muttering, but it seemed like he was struggling to form a proper response for her.

"Son, I’m not trying to hurt you. Mating alone with her will cause her immense pain especially to her body. Just think about my words."

Norman snatched the phone out of my hand and cut the call.

Then, silence took over. After a while, Norman started shifting and fidgeting in his seat. His agitation was visible.
