Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 674

Chapter 674: 674-Her Last Words

Emmet:

Years Ago:

"We should talk about it," she came into my view, arms spread wide, eyes locked onto mine.

"Azura, not tonight. I have to be somewhere," I said, trying to walk past her.

"Are you seriously running away from this conversation, thinking that would be the perfect response to your desperate girlfriend?" she held onto my hoodie and stopped me from walking away.

I felt embarrassed every time she behaved that way. Sometimes she’d even act like this in front of my parents and siblings, even when she knew I wasn’t comfortable with it.

Especially when I had told her things were changing rapidly. But she didn’t care. If she got upset about something, she would hit me right in front of everyone. And I hated the idea of violence against someone you claim to love.

"I’m not running away. I’m going out there for my brother," I held her hand to free my hoodie when she let out a yelp and pulled back, stepping away from me with tears in her eyes.

Honestly speaking, I didn’t even hold her hand that tightly.

"You hurt me," she whimpered. fгeewёbnoѵel_cσm

"I didn’t. I only freed my hoodie," I replied sternly this time. She had been doing this to me for the last couple of months.

Every time I tried to get past her, she’d either claim she got pushed or that I hit her.

I knew it wasn’t true, but she’d be so stubborn about it that I’d eventually have to give up and bow down to her.

"We’ll talk later," I replied to her complaint, seriously so done that I didn’t even want to stand near her anymore.

"No," she blocked my way again, making me stop and grunt at her.

"Kaye and Noirman are there with your brother. Do you even understand what’s going on? Maximus doesn’t want us together, so he’s making up some shit about his wolf coming early. That’s a lie. He just doesn’t want us to have this conversation."

Every time she spoke about Maximus like that, I felt anger run through my veins.

She had no clue what my brother was going through. Of course, we kept it from her for a reason.

My brothers didn’t want any outsider to find out what had been happening to Maximus for some time.

And even when I told Azura the outside wasn’t safe during the full moon, she wouldn’t listen to me.

Lately, she had become so stubborn that I was honestly beginning to wonder if she’d follow me outside one day and see Maximus herself.

"I said we’ll talk about it later. If you respect me and believe me, you’ll wait for morning in your bedroom. I promise we’ll have this talk," I reassured her in a much calmer tone since she made it clear she wouldn’t listen to me otherwise.

"Remember, Emmet! I’ll die if you stop loving me."

Her words made my heart shake.

She gave me a blunt look while I started walking away.

"Somebody help! There’s a monster here!" And just like that—She had stolen the attention of the angry lycan.

Maximus let go of Kaye and turned, hissing at her.

"Azura, run!" I yelled, loud and clear.

But she didn’t listen. While Norman and I tried to reach her, Maximus got to her first. All I saw was blood splattering around as he clawed her. Her screams filled the air, echoing like a melancholic melody.

I instantly began pulling Maximus away. He attacked her, but never us. He would drink from us, but somehow was never triggered by us.

It was Kaye who managed to steal Maximus’s attention again by running in wide circles. Maximus’s focus shifted. It was like a game to him, Kaye had become his distraction. Even as a lycan, his heart still ached for entertainment, for play– especially with his brothers.

Once Kaye made Maximus follow him, I reached Azura.

She was losing blood—fast.

"I don’t think he can transition to heal. We need to take her to the hospital," I said, tears running down my face.

Since our last conversation hadn’t ended well, guilt was already crushing me.

She was in my arms and I was running away, when I felt her teeth sinking into my neck before she said something to me. I couldn’t help but remember her last words to me.
