Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 726

Chapter 726: 726-Playing My Mother

Emmet:

"What do you mean you did not?" I asked, steadily approaching him.

"Emmet, I don’t remember getting it. It just appeared out of nowhere. I was convinced it was a tattoo, but it isn’t. I went to a tattoo artist today, asking how I could remove it, because I didn’t like it. The more I looked at it, the more I felt like it was telling me something. It was whispering in my ears. And you know what the tattoo artist told me?" he asked, panicking.

His body was shaking. His hands were so red, as if they were on fire.

"What?" I asked, showing concern.

"That it’s not a tattoo," he said, making me stare at his face, my heart beating slowly.

I briskly walked closer to him and checked his neck. I traced my fingers around the mermaid tail, then the dagger, and it felt like my whole world collapsed.

"Okay, what the fuck," I said, stepping back from him.

The way he was looking at me with his eyes wide open, it was like he wanted me to tell him everything was fine. But how could I, when I recognized the symbol?

How did I never notice it before?

"What is it? Tell me," he asked again, reaching for me. I checked his neck once more.

The details on the mermaid tail had always escaped our notice. It was only now, after seeing Helanie have this tail, that I realized it was a mermaid tail.

"Wait a minute," I said, gesturing for him to sit down so I could grab one of my research books.

I grabbed it and started shuffling through the pages. Then I came across the same sign.

"Emmet, please tell me what it is. I’m getting scared," he said, shaking.

I walked over to him and flipped the page so he could see what I was seeing. It was the exact same tattoo. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"What does it mean?"

Even though the next page explained it all, he’d relied on me, so I had to relay the deadly information to him. But before I could respond, he asked me,

"Am I a hunter?" he asked in a low voice.

"I am a mermaid hunter, aren’t I?" he asked again. His eyes showed me how damaged he would be if this turned out to be true.

"Okay, there is one more thing that I need to confirm before we jump to any conclusions," I said, trying to calm him down, but he began to get up from the chair as if he were losing his patience.

"Wait, wait."

I put my hands on his shoulders to make him sit down.

"What is left to say? I just saw the sign, and it literally says right here that I’m a mermaid hunter." He pointed at the text while complaining.

"Okay, there is another sign just like this," I said, and I watched his body relax a bit.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

He looked like such a lost puppy that I felt bad for him.

"There are two kinds of tattoos like this, with very minimalistic changes," I said as I turned the page around. And just like I had said, there was another page with the same tattoo but with slight differences, and those slight differences looked exactly like his tattoo.

"And this one says you are a siren hunter," I confirmed, pointing at the text. I watched his body relax a bit. He held the book in his hand to keep examining it.

"But Helanie is a mermaid."
