Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 755

Chapter 755: 755-The One She Gave Hope

Helanie:

"I’m so tired," Lamar complained as he massaged Jenny’s shoulders.

"You can rest too," Jenny told him, noticing he’d been massaging her feet, arms, and shoulders for a while.

"No, this is me resting. I just don’t want to go out in the woods and chase after those ugly things again," Lamar said, and I knew exactly what he meant. I felt the same way.

There were times I thought I might throw up. Those things were ugly and nasty, and when you killed them, they oozed a foul odor.

"Are you okay, Helanie? I noticed you gagging a lot today," Penn asked.

"Yeah, I’m just a little under the weather," I replied, not wanting to tell anyone about the pregnancy yet. Every time I got excited, I ended up losing the baby, so the excitement felt wasted.

"How about I get you some lemonade?" he offered, getting up from the ground.

All the academy students had been doing their best to get rid of as many Zharns as possible, hoping the message would reach the Father. Some of them had even opened different food and drink stalls.

"Can you bring me some too?" Jenny asked her brother playfully.

"Yeah, yeah, I’ll get everyone food and drinks," Penn replied as he walked away.

I stretched my legs out, leaning back on my hands with my neck tilted up and my eyes on the sky. I was trying to take in as much comfort as I could before we had to go out again. But I had a feeling the brothers wouldn’t let me go this time. One of them always stayed near me. I guessed they had assigned roles or something. Emmet was mostly absent, but I knew he was doing something important.

"How’s he doing?" Lamar asked, and I turned my head to the left, spotting Gavin next to a hot dog stall, staring off into the distance. He’d been gone ten minutes to grab us hot dogs, and now I found him zoned out.

"He’s brutal to those things. You should’ve seen him out there," I said, remembering how he killed those Zharns like each one had personally hurt Salem.

"It’s been over a month, and he still hasn’t shown any signs of improvement. The only time he seems alive is when he’s told we’re going out to fight the ex-Codex," Jenny said, and I nodded sadly.

There’s no set time for healing after losing a loved one or a mate. It’s nearly impossible. Life just— changes forever.

"Life, I guess, changes forever," I murmured, thinking of my mother. Even though she had Lord McQuoid now, I could still see the longing for my father in her eyes.

"Anyway, I heard about your mother, and the announcements about your, you know, true identity. So far, everyone I’ve talked to has been really positive," Jenny said, reminding me that my secret was out.

"Yeah, my pack members were happy. They actually like Helanie a lot," Lamar added, which gave me a boost of confidence.
