Helanie:
Everyone had been shocked ever since they heard Norman tell not to mark Emt.
"Norman! We understand you’re her husband now, but going into this marriage, you knew she would eventually have to face her mates. She hasn’t cut ties with us," Kaye argued, standing next to the car while Norman sat in the passenger seat with the door open and his legs hanging out.
He had his hands clasped together and elbows resting on his thighs.
Honestly, I didn’t understand why Norman wouldn’t want to help Emt. There was no way it was jealousy. If it were, he would have stopped from helping Maximus too.
"Especially with Emt. Things were even different. You were supposed to reject her so that she could marry Emt. Do you think feelings for mates die that easily?" Maximus spoke up, watching Norman not move at all. I didn’t want them to scold him, but I was still thinking about what the reason could possibly be.
"Emt has silently done a lot for . He never asked for anything in return. Norman! Why don’t you want her to mark Emt?" Maximus’s voice turned softer as Norman slowly raised his head to et my eyes.
"It’s not like I can mark Emt today. I will have to wait for the next fullmoon. Lady Darcy was just saying whatever to bring up the topic of marking my mates. We shouldn’t question Norman. I’m sure he’ll tell why he doesn’t want—" I stopped when Norman spoke up.
"If she marks Emt, Kaye’s curse will make him agitated. And don’t you two rember what he wants to do when his curse takes over him?" Norman looked at his brothers, his voice full of concern.
As Kaye uncomfortably shifted away, he caught my attention. I looked at him while he ran his hands through his hair and grunted under his breath a lot.
"What is his curse?" I finally spoke up, since silently waiting for any of them to explain didn’t work.
Maximus shared a glance with Norman while Kaye turned his back to us. How bad could the curse be? They were clearly waiting for him, and then finally Kaye turned to .
"I want to kill my mate," he whispered, and I went numb for a mont.
"In my curse, I have this constant feeling of wanting to kill you." He said it in simple words, and my jaw dropped to the floor. I kept looking between the brothers, from one to the other.
"Is it true?" I asked, and Norman nodded.
"Oh." I turned my back to them this ti because I was honestly shocked and hurt too. Why the hell were their curses so brutal?
"Okay," I turned back again, "it’s a curse. We know they’re crazy curses. Our focus should be on helping Emt and Kaye. How about I mark Kaye on this full moon first before he even has the desire to kill ?" I suggested, full of hope.
But it looked like none of them were impressed.
"That’s not how it works. I think it needs to happen in order. The one whose curse gets worse is the next one you should mark. In that case, only after marking Emt can you mark Kaye," Norman corrected , and I sighed, my shoulders slouching.
"If we can tie Kaye up before Emt is even marked, then when Kaye wants to rip Helanie’s head off, he can’t," Maximus was quite helpful with plans, but it was obvious his brothers didn’t like sothing about his tone.
"Maximus, words," Norman warned, and Maximus shrugged.
"But it’s true. He wants to kill her. I an, not everyone’s curse made them want her like mine did," he grunted in an undertone, and I noticed Norman staring at him without any enthusiasm.
"Okay, let’s go ho and take Emt with us. I don’t trust—" I shut up when I realized I was making such a big claim in front of her sons.
"Our mother," Norman pouted, giving a wink with both eyes. "We get it. You’re right. We’ll take him ho," he agreed, and I was glad he did. He was sounding more like himself now.
Maximus and Kaye took an SUV from their mother’s collection, where they tied Emt in the backseat. However, I really wanted to see him and speak to him once. They told he wasn’t understanding anything, so I let it be until we got ho.
Norman was driving behind their car to keep an eye on them. I had my head resting in my hand and tilted to the side as I watched the road.
"You’re thinking about sothing. Tell , what is it?" Norman asked, keeping his eyes on the road.
"I was thinking about the curses. I an, after the marks, what’s next? Do we just get tied together or reject each other?" I had that question in my mind ever since I agreed to mark Maximus.
"Of course you’ll get to reject them," Norman answered.
"Norman, if it were that simple, I don’t think it would be called a curse. Haven’t you asked your mother any of this at all?" I groaned at him, and he rolled his eyes.
"Get her on a call and put her on speaker. I’ll ask her right away. I’m sure she’ll say the sa thing that you can reject them," Norman said, and I entered the password to his phone. He had force-fed all his passwords even when I knew I could trust Norman with my eyes closed.
"Wow, my son is missing , it seems," that was the first thing she said. Norman rolled his eyes so hard that I could only see the whites.
"Tell sothing. How co you haven’t told us what will happen after everyone is marked? How long till Helanie can reject them?" I was shocked at how consistent he was with the idea of rejecting them.
He really wanted to reject them.
"Who said anything about rejection? Norman! Oh, my poor boy. After everyone is marked, you all have to mate with her. What do you guys call it? Oh yes, a gangbang."
It was the way she said it that made my hand slip off my head and my spine straighten up.
