Helanie:
"Why the heck did you go et him in the woods?" Norman was grumbling, and although I could tell he wanted to yell at , he was keeping his voice down for privacy. He had asked his own n to stand outside my room to make sure nobody got onto the floor. Even those with rooms there had been told to go take classes.
Emt had put Kaye and Max in charge of senior and junior classes to keep them busy and away from this matter.
"He was—blackmailing ," I muttered, my throat scratchy from crying so much.
"For what?" Norman yelled, quickly walking toward Lamar’s bed, where I was sitting.
"Norman!" Emt rushed between us to block from Norman’s gaze and gently patted his brother’s shoulder.
"Let talk to her. This is important. I need to know everything to be able to defend Lamar."
Norman was right—I had to co clean with him. Emt slowly stepped aside after hearing Norman’s reason for wanting the truth.
However, once again, we were interrupted when Emt’s phone started ringing.
"Wait a minute," he told us and stepped even farther away.
Norman was anxiously running his hands through his hair when I had another breakdown.
"I didn’t an to be loud with you. But this situation is frustrating and scary for Lamar," Norman cleared his throat and spoke to much more gently this ti.
"You’re right. I don’t bla you," I replied, pulling my sleeves forward to wipe my cheeks when Norman handed his handkerchief.
I stared at his hand for a second before accepting it, gently dabbing it over my cheek. His cologne was all over it.
Emt spoke on the call for a while before returning with an exhausted, drained look on his face.
"Lamar said Rayden had been blackmailing Helanie and Lamar," Emt explained, making my heart pound in my chest.
"Over what? Did he say why Rayden was doing that?" Norman asked anxiously, his frustration clear.
I guess Lamar had told the warriors, and I was glad he did. He shouldn’t be in jail, taking the bla all by himself.
"Rayden found out that Helanie had been helping Lamar find his sister’s rapist and killer."
My jaw hit the floor at the shortened version of the truth.
Lamar had completely left out of any accusations. He was taking all the bla himself while keeping my secrets safe.
"What?" Norman turned to before looking back at his brother.
"A few months ago—Rayden raped and—murdered his sister."
Emt had barely finished that sentence when I saw Norman lose his balance.
"What?" His voice turned hoarse, almost raspy and deep.
"He killed soone, and then we gave him admission?"
The way he tilted his head was terrifying. I couldn’t believe he would react like this. His fists clenched so hard that I heard his bones crack.
"Lamar says that happened. Now they are in The Polar Red Pack, and I think we should go there too. I got a call from soone who says they can prove Helanie and Lamar’s innocence, but we need to let this person do their thing first," Emt shocked when he spoke about soone who might have seen the last monts of Rayden.
"Whatever that ans," Emt added.
"Let’s go. We shouldn’t leave Lamar alone there," Norman gestured at Emt to hurry up.
"Oh, he’s not alone. Kaye and Maximus had already asked the seniors to train the juniors and had headed to the pack to be with Lamar and make sure no one forced him into a confession." Now that was helpful. I was slightly relieved that Lamar wasn’t alone in Penn’s pack. His father could be very ticulous and cunning when manipulating soone out of a confession.
Not to ntion, the person who claims we are innocent might get us out of this ss.
We left in Norman’s car for the pack. I was so anxious and worried that I kept rubbing my hands together until they turned red.
Emt was in the passenger seat when he stretched his arm back, his muscular hand reaching mine and gently unfolding my hands from each other.
"You’ll give yourself a rash," he comnted without even turning around, then pulled his arm back.
I suddenly felt so looked after. Then Norman did sothing unthinkable—he opened the dashboard and pulled out a small juice bottle. He opened the cork with one hand and handed it to .
"Drink sothing. You woke up to this ss and didn’t have a chance to eat or drink anything," he sounded so polite and focused in the mont.
"Thank you," I accepted the bottle and gulped it down my itchy throat in one go. I guess they both acknowledged it because they shared a glance.
"Don’t be anxious. When Emt says he will take care of things, he does," Norman tried to joke, but I could tell he was putting a lot of faith in Emt.
And I wanted to do the sa because Emt had been very helpful every ti, but I was still scared of what we would face once we got to the pack.
The hour-long ride exhausted even more. I just wanted to be with Lamar and help him with this matter, where he was innocent.
Once we arrived at the pack and at the mansion, we were greeted by angry warriors. However, when I got out of the car and the brothers stood beside , no one dared to co closer.
They both led inside where the whole issue was being discussed. They hadn’t called the council yet, but they had Lamar standing behind the couch with handcuffs on.
I instantly ran to stand beside him, quickly checking if he was okay, and thankfully, they hadn’t laid a finger on him.
Maximus and Kaye were to be thanked for that.
The two briefly looked my way, and I quickly looked down. I didn’t want my gaze to change their minds about helping Lamar.
Lord Mores and Lord Dewitt were sitting on the couch across from Lamar, staring at him. Penn, Jenny, and the others were standing across from them while Kaye and Maximus were by Lamar’s side.
