Chapter 647-A Gentle Reminder, I Am Married
Helanie:
Maximus had been in pain the minute the clock struck midnight. But he was holding back the transition, for our sake. I could only imagine the pain he must’ve been in the whole time. But we only took two minutes to mark Emmet. In the next two minutes, I would have marked Kaye, and then we were going to lock Maximus in the cage for the rest of the night, while we stayed in the basement with him this time.
This was our way of showing the Moon Goddess that her curse could never separate us. But now it was all ruined.
"I must take him out," Norman said, holding Maximus, letting us know the plan had changed. If he transformed here, he would attack us.
"I’m here with her," I heard Emmet say from behind me, reassuring his brothers who were concerned at the turn of events. Kaye had acted so quickly that we weren’t left with the choice but to change our plans. And the fact that he got himself out of those chains surprised me the most. He really wanted me dead, didn’t he?
The need in Norman’s eyes to stay with me, and the guilt in Maximus’s eyes for not being able to because of the curse, crushed my heart.
"Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. There are two of us here. You need to take care of him," I told Norman, almost yelling, while Kaye started chuckling. Norman nodded and ran out with Maximus, while Kaye began to steady himself again.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Look at you," Kaye kept chuckling while grabbing the sedatives from the bag we had saved for emergencies. "Hiding with my brother." He pointed at his chest, stressing the word ’my’.
"Kaye, you don’t want to hurt her," Emmet said. He was fully himself again, stepping out from behind me and putting his body between us. I could fight Kaye, I just didn’t want to.
