Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates Chapter 648-Caught Kissing His Brother

Helanie:

"So I was basically an animal for a month," Emt and I had sat down in the living room, waiting for the others to arrive while I decided to help him with his wounds since he didn’t want to transition.

"I wouldn’t call it that. You just had your wolf take over," I tried to make him feel less guilty.

"No wonder my wolf doesn’t want to shift for another few hours," he hissed, almost like he was talking to his wolf too.

"Let clean the wounds for you," I laughed awkwardly as I sat down on the couch with him. He looked tired and kept moving his arms around to stretch and get his limbs back in place.

He spread his arms and leaned his head back on the couch, closing his eyes, then noticed that I had been sitting on the edge, waiting for him to help a little with the task at hand.

He tiredly moved forward just enough to take off his shirt. I watched him unbutton it while keeping his eyes shut from how exhausted he was. Then, in one quick motion, he took it off and threw it onto the empty sofa beside us.

I held my breath seeing him shirtless again. He leaned back once more, resting his head with his eyes still closed. I started to clean his wounds, feeling shy and awkward too.

I kept thinking about the day he’d find out about the brothers and . That my mates had decided to share . But of course, I wouldn’t be the one to tell Emt. I felt too shy around him.

"What is it?" I hadn’t realized he noticed I’d been staring at him for a little too long. The mont he opened his eyes, I looked away, folding my hands in my lap now that he was bandaged up.

"Are you unhappy? Did sothing happen while I was gone?" he asked, his hand reaching toward my cheek before he stopped himself and let it fall back down.

"No, it’s not like that," I replied, taking a deep breath before saying, "Rune got Salem killed."

The mont those words left my mouth, Emt shot up on the couch, his eyes demanding eye contact, his full attention on .

"Helanie, what are you saying? Salem is—?" I heard the emotion pour out of his mouth in the form of words.

"She was marked and pregnant when the Zharns ate her alive. She felt all the pain," I stopped talking when a hiccup caught in my throat.

"I—," Emt seed like he was having a hard ti swallowing the information, "are you okay?"

His warm hands cupped my face, and I couldn’t hold back my tears anymore.

"I’m not. Every ti I try to act like I forgot about it, I rember her screams. Her last monts were recorded—she begged those monsters to set her free for the sake of her child—" I stopped, but Emt pulled closer, wrapping in his arms to comfort .

I cried on his chest for a solid half hour and told him everything about Rune and Sydney too, in broken hiccups.

After a while, we just silently hugged each other before I noticed he started to pull away from the embrace.

"Norman is lucky to have you," he said, like a reminder that we couldn’t get too close because of his brother.

"No, I’m lucky to have him. He’s been there for through all of this," I smiled to myself, rembering how concerned he had been for . Norman was extrely supportive too.

"I’m glad you two are happy. You both deserve happiness," I noticed Emt creating more space between us.

"I’m really tired, but I don’t want to sleep until Maximus and Norman return because of Kaye. We don’t know when he’ll strike again," he said. "You go ahead and sleep in your bedroom. I’ll stay here, keeping an eye on the door," he advised, and I nodded, not telling him that Norman wouldn’t mind.

But I didn’t want to just sit in Emt’s lap and act on anything. I was still deep in my feelings, and I wasn’t even sure if both of us wanted this.

I went to my bedroom and fell asleep for the rest of the night. I woke up to Norman kissing my forehead and saying goodbye as he left with the warriors to find Kaye.

I showered and changed, then headed to the living room to rest a bit before I started preparing lunch. It seed like while I slept, Maximus, Emt, and Norman had made breakfast and spent ti together.

"Did you eat breakfast?" I was startled when Maximus ca up behind and whispered in my ear, leaning down from behind the sofa.

"No! I’ll eat lunch now," I replied after giving him a look for scaring . He jumped from behind and landed on the couch, making my body bounce into the air before settling again.

"I heard Kaye ran away last night," he said, wrapping his arms around and pulling closer, his lips brushing my chin and moving up to mine. "But don’t worry, nothing will happen to you. I’d rather die than let you get hurt," he whispered, then gently pressed his lips to mine.

"I didn’t want to leave last night. Curse you—my curse," he said, breaking the kiss just to grunt in frustration before kissing again.

His fingers wrapped gently around my neck. His lips puckered on my lower lip, sucking it like it held sothing sweet. I kissed his upper lip in return, moaning into his mouth.

"What the heck is going on here?" A loud, confident voice broke us apart. I pulled away from the kiss and stood up, staring at Emt, who didn’t look very happy. He seed unsure if what he saw was real or if he was dreaming. I watched him shake his head nonstop, trying to confirm that he was actually there.

"You’re kissing your brother’s wife?" Emt growled at Maximus, and I knew, we should’ve talked to him first.
