Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 730

Chapter 730: 730-The Toxic Mother-In-Law Of My Mate

Norman:

"Oh my God, I cannot believe going out in the woods without warriors on my side anymore," My mother had been complaining ever since we returned from the funeral. It had been three days since Emma died, and four days since Helanie left. Every night was so hard for me to get through. My body would ache, and her memories would drive me crazy.

Every time I left my room to grab a bottle of wine, I saw my brothers doing the same. I think it was at this point that we began to realize how Emmet must have dealt with his pain all these years. We had accused him of drinking too much. Now that we were in the same position, we were doing the same thing.

Even when Emmet did not want to drink, he had to, because she cursed him with a broken heart.

"Mom, please."

I gave her a look, gesturing with my hand for her to be quiet. She had been talking for so long that I started to feel like my ears were losing their ability to hear.

"Anyway, that woman was a problem. I don’t understand how you all are acting so sad when you know she never wanted peace in the house," My mother hissed, rolling her eyes at a woman who died so brutally and so alone. I could not believe my mother was doing that, but then I remembered what Helanie had told me about her cruelty toward her own mother. There must have been a lot of truth in what her mother was saying, because my mother was indeed capable of terrible things.

"Weird how you hate Emma so much, but you desperately wanted Charlotte to be your daughter-in-law,’ I commented, watching her roll her eyes.

"I did not want her. She was the only option since Maximus felt a mate bond with her," she replied, grabbing her wine glass and gulping it all down her throat.

I could already tell she felt very proud of herself ever since Ursula and Helanie left. But every time I looked at her, I remembered the chaos she created that night.

"Anyway, the full moon is coming. How are you guys going to accept them? Did you plan anything? I have been looking at venues for the mating ceremony." The way she started yapping, I had to give her a hand gesture.

"We are not doing it in a public ceremony, Mother. We will mark our mates and bring them home. That is it. There will be no mating ceremony," I said in a very stern and angry voice.

"Don’t tell me you are just going to bring them home and not take care of them," she said, putting one leg over the other.

That was when Charlotte came to sit with us, her head down. Maximus arrived at the same time. Emmet kept his distance from us, but I remembered what Maximus had told me about him. As for Kaye, he had been sticking close to Emmet lately. Everybody else had come over to pray for Emma, even though no one really liked her.

"You know, I was just telling Norman that he cannot bring a mate and not expect us to have a ceremony."

I did not know my mother was that toxic. She started yapping just so Charlotte could hear it. And she did. She looked at Maximus in confusion.
