Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 750

Chapter 750: 750-Playing The Bitch

Helanie:

"The council is here," one of the maids informed us.

After last night, everybody went to our rooms while I stayed in Emmet’s. When I woke up, I was told the council was coming, so we were now dressed to face them. I had a bad feeling that the encounter would be wild and frightening.

As soon as I entered the living room, where everyone was already gathered, including Azura and Kesha, who hated me, and even Kesha’s uncle and father, I felt all eyes on me. My mates stood beside me, they had walked in with me.

"So, you’re a mermaid," Vonston asked as he stood up. He hadn’t been there the night I transformed. "And you’re also the daughter of Soren Vaughn," he added, and I nodded. I could tell Darcy wasn’t happy that the man wasn’t calling for my execution right away.

"Well, then let me tell you something, daughter," Vonston said as he stepped forward and held my hands. "You didn’t have to run away, but I’m sorry you did. Our people can be hostile. But forgive them, they didn’t know you were the daughter of the great adventurer and pirate, Alpha Soren Vaughn."

The way he said it, and the way everyone who came with him started to bow, made my heart skip a beat.

"We don’t hate mermaids. We never have. We’ve just never crossed paths with them," someone behind Vonston said.

I felt foolish for running away that night, but with the crowd yelling so aggressively, it had seemed like my only option.

"What is going on? Why are you all treating her like she’s some big deal?" Darcy asked, of course.

Even though Kesha’s father and uncle looked unhappy, but they stayed silent.

"Lady Darcy, we respect your work in the community, but that’s where it ends. We make decisions on our own. No one will harm our guest, the special hybrid she-wolf. In fact, we welcome her kind to swim across our seas. There will be strict rules against anyone who tries to harm the mermaids," Vonston said and Lord McQuoid looked so proud of Vonston

"I told you they’d respect you. Our ancestors made mistakes, and now we think we’re enemies," Maximus said, elbowing me gently.

My eyes shifted to Charlotte, who looked lifeless. I felt terrible for her. But then I saw Azura, head down, eyes glaring up at me through her eyebrows. She looked monstrous at that moment.

"If Holy Mother were here today, she would’ve been so happy to finally see a mermaid. She always told us about them in bedtime stories," Vonston said. But I was confused, who was Holy Mother? And why did Lord McQuoid seem so affected by her name? So much so that he looked Darcy straight in the eyes. She only straightened her back and pretended not to notice him glaring.

"So, does that mean she gets to stay here among us?" Darcy asked.

Everyone stared at her face before Vonston said, "I promised to keep this child safe. And after what we did to her, it’s the werewolves who should be apologizing to the mermaids. So no, there will be no action taken against her. In fact, we welcome her into our land. Besides, she’s part werewolf. And right now, we definitely want to rebuild our alliances with those who never meant us harm."

I was so happy hearing Vonston. Last night, I had been worried they would arrive and I’d have to face another trial or more hatred.
