Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 721

Chapter 721: 721-Emmet Didn’t Choose Me.

Helanie:

The minute my tail began to flap around in the water, showing its glowing color and probably capturing guests’ attention, someone yelled,

"Oh my Goddess, that is a mermaid!"

My heart started to sink in my chest, but there was so much going on that I couldn’t focus on one thing.

And then somebody jumped in.

Swimming toward me was Norman. He came like a bullet, wrapped his arm around my back, and pulled me up with him. He helped me out of the water and then placed me down. His brothers were already standing behind me, all three of them, to block the view, but I could hear the chattering and complaints in the distance. The council members were expressing their shock and disgust too. Everyone was worried about what I was, what kind of monster they had sheltered.

I closed my eyes while Norman hugged me. He then carried me inside the mansion.

"You’re not going to take that thing into the house, are you?" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

That was Kesha’s uncle. I knew it because he had a certain way of pronouncing some words.

"Back off! Not your home, not your rules." I heard Maximus yell at the man.

"Did you just tell me to shut up?" It was like they had such big egos, all three of them: Kesha, her father, her uncle, that every time they were told to do something, they would lose their minds. But they were all okay with disrespecting others.

"Uncle, if you don’t want to lose respect, stay quiet." That was Kaye warning him, but I couldn’t see what else was going on because Norman had already taken me into the house.

Then I heard the gentle voice of my mother calling for me.

"Step aside. I want to see Helanie."

She rushed into the living room, where Norman had placed me on the sofa, and hugged me.

"They know now," I said to her, breaking the hug and looking into her eyes.

"It’s all right. It’s completely fine. You will be fine," my mother said, cupping my face in her hands.

"What if they do the same to me as they did to you?" I asked my mother, watching the look of sheer panic on her face.

"No, Helanie, I will never let anyone harm you. You will not have the same fate as me," she said determinedly. Then she took off her pearl necklace to give it to me.

"What is this?" I asked her, watching her smile very weakly.

"When I lost my tail, it turned into a pearl. This is what happens when a mermaid loses her tail. I want to gift it to you. Keep it with you. It will help you realize that you are not something to be ashamed of. You should be proud of yourself," she said firmly and lovingly.

"Wait, you lost your tail?" I asked, bewildered.
