Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 741

Chapter 741: 741-Following Emmet

Helanie:

I kept staring and staring. Although Norman had already given me a heads-up, I was surprised to see that he didn’t act on his threat. He was lying on the couch while Jessica was all alone in the bed, and I could see him. He had placed a lot of pillows on the side of the bed where I used to sleep, so he probably wasn’t even allowing her on my side.

I pouted, feeling bad because Norman was in pain because of me. I felt so angry with myself that I decided to punch the wall. However, I forgot I needed both my hands to hold on to the pipe. And when I freed my hand to punch the wall, I slipped and fell. The next thing I knew, I was falling.

And it was such a silent fall because I knew the moment I screamed, I would announce to almost everyone in the mansion that I was a jealous and controlling mate who was going around peeking through windows. I didn’t want a few of the people inside to have the satisfaction of watching me act out in jealousy.

I closed my eyes, waving my arms around. My hair and clothes were flying with the wind. I was coming down pretty fast, and then I was met with two strong pillars. It was such a strange landing that I didn’t feel any pain. In fact, I instantly got a whiff of a beautiful sandalwood smell. I quickly placed my hand on the chest of this handsome man and opened my eyes to look into his.

He tilted his head and then smirked.

"I didn’t know the goddess was throwing angels down from heaven, but I’m glad I caught one," Emmet commented, making me shyly look away, but my fingers were still holding on to his shirt.

"You can put me down now. I’m safe," I said, not trying to be rude but not trying to be overly sweet either.

"Are you sure?" he uttered, but there was a playfulness in his voice.

I nodded, and then he let me down.

I began to balance my body and fix my clothes and hair, all the while avoiding eye contact with Emmet. I could tell he was watching me, waiting for me to explain myself and my actions.

"By the way, how did Maximus end up marking Charlotte, even when it’s a full moon? And how is he not out there, turning into a lycan?" I uttered, quickly looking away from him.

"Oh, you know, since he found two fated mates, Mom said it kind of helped him with the curse. Same with the rest of us. We’re not in as much pain as before, but she said it’s temporary. So he will be turning on another full moon night or maybe next," Emmet commented, and I began to nod.

"Are you going to talk about what you were doing up there?" He then leaned down to my level, his eyebrows straight, his eyes narrowed.

"What? I was just checking the pipes to see if they were working fine," I said, annoyed that I was caught by him of all people.

If it was Maximus, I could hush him down. It was easy. With Kaye, I could just be angry with him and he wouldn’t utter a word. With Norman, I’d just give him a kiss and he would forget. But with Emmet, I couldn’t get too angry. I couldn’t boss him around for long, especially not when we were alone. I definitely couldn’t kiss him just like that. I felt shy around him.

"Helanie, Norman wouldn’t do it. He’s much more relaxed, and I’m pretty sure he’ll even fall asleep now that you’re back," Emmet said, and I nodded.

"Well, not everybody thinks like you, or Norman, or Maximus," I uttered, fidgeting with my fingers.

"Yeah, well, Maximus—he’s not even sleeping in his bedroom tonight. He’s in the basement because, you know, it’s unpredictable. We don’t know when our curses will become active again," Emmet said, his hands slipping into his pants pockets.

"Well, this one full moon—"
