Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates

Chapter 733: 733-My Helanie Is Back.

Emmet:

The way Helanie came in, I couldn’t even stop myself from smiling at her, even though I knew my mother was watching me. It seemed like she never made it to Arthendel, but the confidence she had shocked us all, and I could only imagine what Norman was going through inside. I bet he wanted to get on the table and twerk, but he was holding it in.

"What are you doing here?"

As soon as my mother yelled and tried to step forward, Norman extended his hand and gave her a silent head nod. It was a stern warning.

"I hope you realize that you coming back changes nothing. In fact, you’re going to land yourself in trouble if you don’t leave right now. I will call the council," Kesha started to speak, and I noticed Kaye began to scratch the tattoo on his neck. I had been keeping a close eye on Kesha. There were moments when her face would twitch. I had noticed it before too, and I thought maybe it was some kind of illness, so I never mentioned it because it would be rude. But now I was starting to see it happen more often, and it felt creepy.

"Then go ahead, give them a call," Helanie said, walking past everyone very slowly, giving each of us a full glance before sitting on the couch with her arms spread and one leg over the other.

"Anyway, don’t stop your celebrations because of me. Carry on. I’m just part of the family. Treat me like one," she said, smiling, then removed her hands from the backrest just to fold them over her thigh while shaking her leg.

"Helanie," my father finally snapped out of his thoughts and rushed over to sit with her.

I noticed the worried look on Helanie’s face. This was what I loved about her. She was rude to those who deserved it, but to the ones she cared about, she always looked so concerned.

"Lord McQuoid, I know you have a lot of questions."

As she began to speak, my father shook his head, tearing up while smiling widely. He held her hand and patted it between his.

"I have no questions. Just one."

And now everybody was listening to my father to see what he was going to say, especially my mother. I could almost see my mother crying.

"Sweet Daughter-In-law. How is she? Is she okay?" my father asked, mentioning Ursula. Helanie’s smile told me she had expected that from him.

"She is back in her land," she replied.

"And you didn’t go?" I couldn’t stay silent. The words slipped out of my mouth, and she very slowly turned her head to look at me, her eyes half open as she blinked them carefully, almost like judging me.

"I would run for the hills if I were you," Maximus whispered in my ear.

Suddenly, my brothers were so alive. They were making jokes, smiling a lot, looking around. Except for Norman. He was just staring at her.

"No, I did not want to run away. This is my land too. I am a part of it," she stated, loud and clear.

Even though other mermaids had a small hint of werewolf in them, Helanie was a big part of it because she was the daughter of a purebred pirate werewolf.

Then she got up, walking toward me, I corrected my posture, afraid of her eyes.

"May I have a minute with you all?" she said, snapping her fingers.

"Yeah, definitely you take that minute, because after that, the council will be here." Kesha spoke from behind, and I could tell from the way Kaye’s jaw was twitching that he wanted to retaliate, but something was stopping him.

"Go ahead, don’t waste your time." Helanie hissed at her again. I was taking mental notes. Kesha was going to receive the worst because of her hatred for Helanie.

"Nobody is calling the council. You call anyone, and you’re out of this place." Even though I had told my brothers not to mention rejection, Norman couldn’t help but yell at Kesha, who was suddenly taken aback. Her Royal Highness couldn’t tolerate anyone raising their voice at her.

"And you think others won’t find out she’s back just because you’re silencing me?" Kesha pointed at her chest.

"I think we should not tell anyone," Jessica spoke up in her meek tone. "And isn’t it great that Helanie is back?" she added.

Everyone watched her face. She was genuinely sweet, just like we remembered her. But sometimes, I had a little inkling that maybe she was too sweet. But that could just be me. I wasn’t a very sweet person either.

"Nobody will call anyone." Then my father spoke up, warning everyone not to call, inform, or talk about Helanie to anyone for now.

Kesha looked annoyed. She folded her arms across her chest and started tapping her foot on the ground. noveldrama

We were glad Helanie was back. That was kind of shocking too. The way she left, I was almost scared she was done with us.

"I’ll go get her some food," Charlotte said, quickly getting to her feet. But before she could rush away, Helanie held her hand.

"I heard about Emma," Helanie said, tears forming in her eyes. She didn’t need to feel bad for Emma, but my Helanie was different than everyone.

"There had been some news when we were running away. We heard people talk. We heard announcements on speakers that another woman had been attacked by the Zharns. So there were a lot of safety measures and talk about it. That’s how I knew it was our Emma—your mother, Emma." Helanie held her hand, gently patting it. Charlotte started to tear up before hugging her and beginning to cry.

"I have needed you so much, Helanie. I was so lonely. I felt like I had lost all my family," Charlotte broke down, expressing her grief

"Don’t worry, I’m back here, and I will help you. I will grieve with you." Helanie gave her a reassuring head nod after they broke the hug.

"Thank you so much. I’ll go get you food," Charlotte said, speeding away into the kitchen.

Even Jessica didn’t look too hostile, except for Azura and Kesha, of course. The two didn’t even try to hide the fact that they hated Helanie.
