Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 860

Norman:

I heard screams outside, and I already knew what it was, the sound of an ogre. I ran to the bed in my room where the babies were, just to make sure they were safe. The girls were taking care of them.

But Lucy had rushed past me, so I knew she'd seen something from the window that shook her.

Standing at the window with a three-faced sword in my hands, I watched my brother fight the ogre. I had to stay back, to keep guard from here in case Kaye couldn't stop it in time.

The ogre lunged at him. Kaye dodged, rolling to the side, and the beast slammed face-first into the ground again.

"Keep him still!" Gavin shouted from the side, his bowstring snapping as he fired. The arrow cut through the air and buried itself in the ridge between the monster's brows.

But the ogre swung its arm, flinging the arrow aside, and charged at Gavin instead. That gave Kaye enough time to get back on his feet. He hacked at the ogre's legs, trying to cut them down. Smart move. I could tell the creature knew its weakness, he wasn't letting anyone near his eyes or brow again.

My chest tightened as I watched it unfold, stuck inside and unable to help. We couldn't abandon the mansion. At this point, it was just me inside, holding the line.

Penn and Lamar were outside with the other warriors, fighting zharns at the front and back. This ogre had come from the side, which meant the father had caught wind that his wife and daughter were in our custody.

Gavin launched another arrow as the ogre closed in on him. The arrow struck its right eye, and it screamed in rage. Still, the beast managed to swing its arm at him.

But Lucy suddenly burst from the side, throwing her arms around Gavin and yanking him out of the way, saving his ass. I had no clue when she had run out of the mansion.

As Lucy saved Gavin, I saw Kaye sneak up from behind, leaping onto the ogre. He locked his arm around its neck while the beast thrashed, swinging wildly to throw him off. Kaye had only seconds to act.

He drove the three-faced sword into its other eye, blinding it completely. The ogre went crazy, shaking its head, roaring in agony. Kaye released his grip and jumped down from its back.

Then, almost casually, he stepped forward to face it. The ogre dropped to its knees, shrieking in pain, clutching at its ruined eyes.

And then, in one swift and brutal motion, Kaye launched himself into the air and drove the blade straight into the center of its brows, silencing the monster's struggles and cries at once.

Finally, once it was done, I yelled to get my brother's attention.

"Great hit, Kaye!" I yelled, and he turned to the window, giving me a full, dramatic bow.

"I didn't know I had an audience," Kaye yelled back, smirking, before he walked over to Lucy and Gavin and offered them a hand.

"Nice job, Gavin. I didn't know you had it in you," I teased, and Gavin shyly scratched the back of his neck.
