Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates-Chapter 558-My Husband’s Nudes

Helanie:

"Congratulations," Salem hugged me again while Lamar, Penn, and Gavin danced around me. They had been jumping up and down like little kids this whole time. Jenny kept mimicking how I would look once I got crowned.

"So, you’re coming to the hostel tomorrow?" Penn asked, giving me a look that said I needed to stop making excuses and just join them already.

They had made plans that included hopping from bar to bar and doing everything I couldn’t do because my life had been so hard.

"Yeah," I nodded, my eyes shifting to the brothers in the distance.

After Jessica killed her brother, she wasn’t well. Her father and Norman took her home after managing to convince her to let go of Darius’s body. Darcy and Emma rushed back home, grabbing Charlotte with them. But Charlotte seemed genuinely happy for me.

Now it was just me, my friends, and the brothers.

"Okay, so you go enjoy your victory with them today, tomorrow is ours," Lamar warned me, pointing his finger at me to make sure I didn’t forget the plans.

I nodded, smiling from ear to ear, then walked away to join the brothers. As soon as they saw me walking towards them, they broke the circle and smiled at me.

"So, Alpha Queen of North—how do you feel?" Maximus pretended to hold a mic with his clenched fist and interviewed me.

"I am the happiest today," I uttered, tears still forming in my eyes. But these were tears of happiness.

"So, how are we going to celebrate your birthday today? Don’t say no, you’ve earned the right to live a happy life. Let’s make this day the day you slayed the monster and became the Alpha Queen," Kaye added with a cheerful gleam in his tone. Every time someone called me Alpha Queen, my chest swelled with happiness.

I never thought I could be anyone, let alone an Alpha Queen. Just the thought of my crowning made me smile until I turned tomato red.

"Congratulations. I always knew you were special," Emmet uttered, then cleared his throat to remind me of something, "Are you and Norman rejecting each other today then?"

I watched eyes stare at my face and my throat began to get dry. Of course, I was going to reject Norman, but then I felt like I should stay with my friends tonight.

They had waited so long for me to be with them.

"Ohhhh! Wouldn’t it pain? Actually, I’m spending the night with my friends. I want to be full of energy and enjoy my nineteenth birthday, unlike my eighteenth. I want to get over that phase and be happy for once," I noticed the way they silently stared at my face, no heads nodding to show they agreed.

"Will it be okay if I do it next month? I mean, waiting for him to come back when he should be with Jessica, and then making my friends wait—" I yapped and yapped with an awkward smile on my lips. I felt so uncomfortable at that moment.

"No! Trap will be the right word."

"Of course, that will do as well," since nobody was helping me out, thankfully Kaye stepped forward to defend me.

I suddenly felt at ease when his brothers reluctantly nodded their heads.

"So I will go and stay with them," I waved at them, turning around in an awkward, no-goodbye kind of way, and started walking after my friends.

"Hmm, what an excuse to not reject Norman," Cora uttered.

"I thought you would rest a little longer after that battle," I groaned.

"How could I miss the awkward interaction of you with your mates where you try to not only convince them but yourself too that you have so much to do, which is why you can’t reject him tonight," Cora continued to snicker, making me clench my jaw.

"I mean, I didn’t have time to annoy Norman before, so I was thinking about irritating him for a month before I reject him," I shrugged.

"Whatever you say, Alpha Queen," she taunted, and I rolled my eyes, joining my friends.

"Wait, you’re coming with us?" Penn got out of the driver’s seat when he spotted me.

"Yeah, I thought I’d celebrate this day with you guys. You’ve been there for me all this time; I really want to share my success with you," I said to them all, watching them grin happily.

"Come on, hop in then," Jenny wrapped her arm around my shoulder and let me walk into the car first.

We all shared the car to the hostel where the students had been informed beforehand, and Hans had helped prepare a celebratory dinner for me.

"Wow," I covered my mouth happily, watching all the red balloons flying around with LED candles everywhere.

"I did it all myself," Hans shrugged, hands on his waist in pride.

But he wasn’t asking for my praise; his eyes kept moving to Jenny, who was busy making out with Lamar every few seconds.

After we all ate and danced for about two hours, I began to walk upstairs to my dorm room. Lucy hadn’t been around and Sydney was back in her pack, I heard. Of course, she couldn’t see me being all happy.

My phone rang, and my husband’s name popped up on the screen with an incoming text, making me grin. I couldn’t wait to give him a hard time.

Husband: What are you doing? Did you eat and rest well? Don’t waste all your energy for tonight. We brothers are preparing something special for you as well.

I smiled, sitting down on the bed and reading his text a few times before typing back.

Me: Wasn’t it supposed to be a surprise? Are you sure you didn’t ruin it?

Husband: Don’t play me. It’s alright, my brothers wouldn’t get mad, and you don’t know what kind of surprise it is.

I giggled.

Husband: Okay, ask for any gift. It was a big victory.

I wasn’t going to ask him anything, but Cora started to fill my mind with nasty thoughts.

"Ask for a nude pic."

"What the heck, no Cora," I groaned at her.

"Come on, you said you wanted to annoy him. Just do it, tease him—annoy him," she pressured, and while biting my bottom lip, I texted him.

Me: Okay, send me your nudes.
