Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates-Chapter 566-My Sexy Husband Got Eyes On Him

Helanie:

"You look grumpy. You shouldn’t have drunk so much," Jenny elbowed me as we walked out of the hostel toward training class.

I didn’t even know why the academy was open today. I’d heard the trainers say we needed to prepare hard because of the threat from the Zharns.

"Alpha Queen," I heard Sage say as she winked at me before walking away with her group. Every section stood in line—even the seniors joined us this time.

"Last night was amazing," Lamar whispered into Jenny’s ear, and she giggled. I looked to my side and saw Hans staring at them before he realized I caught him—and quickly looked away.

"Oh, Professor Norman is here," Lucy announced from behind me, and only then did I realize she had returned to the academy.

I turned toward her and she smirked. "Congratulations. What a victory!"

I rolled my eyes and looked straight ahead. I didn’t know why, but I was in a really bad mood.

"Huh, what victory? Got the poor guy all messed up just so she could win," Sydney, of course. It had to be her.

My friends turned back to glare at her, but I ignored it. My eyes were focused on the car that parked in front of us—and out came Norman, dressed in all black.

"Fuck, he is so hot," Lucy said, making me frown.

What hot?

He was just tall with decent features. Deep down, he was still an asshole.

"And he left his buttons open today," Lucy added, and my skin broke out in goosebumps.

He had left half of his shirt unbuttoned, a chain hanging down his chest.

I clenched my fists tightly, trying not to look at his chest. What kind of outfit was that? Did he lose his sense of decency too?

"Hello, everyone," Norman said, and I stared at the girls. I’d always known they looked at the brothers a little too eagerly—but this was ridiculous.

Then two more vehicles pulled up and out jumped Kaye and Maximus.

Emmet didn’t come. That hurt.

"I wish I could have group sex with those handsome monsters one day," Lucy went on.

Honestly, at one point, I felt like she was saying all this just to mess with me.

"Shut up, Lucy!" I snapped, and everyone went quiet.

As I looked ahead, I noticed the brothers looking at my face.

"As you all know, a special battle was arranged for one of our students. We brothers would like Norman to give you a brief history and the reason behind the battle," Maximus said, stepping aside to let Norman take over.

His eyes landed on me for a brief second before looking away.

He really didn’t care. He just felt sorry for me.

And look at him—he looked so smug today. He got to have sex while I cried myself to sleep with a headache.

"I’ve trained many warriors in my time, but none like Helanie," Norman began.

"She didn’t just fight battles on the field—she fought her rapists in the shadows, where justice is often denied. She stood alone against a world that tried to break her. They accused her, silenced her, doubted her. But she never backed down."

My frown started to soften.

I hadn’t had the chance—or maybe I never let myself—think about how I feel now.

Finally, I was free from the accusations.

Finally, I knew my rapists were where they deserved to be.

"She battled against injustice with the fire of truth in her eyes. She proved her innocence not through words, but through unwavering courage. She exposed the lies, stood face-to-face with her rapists, and forced them to confess—not with vengeance, but with the strength that comes from knowing you’re right. And then, she didn’t stop there. She rose. She took that pain and turned it into power. She fought her way to the top—not just as a survivor, but as a leader. She earned her place. And today, she stands as the Alpha Queen of the North. Not because it was handed to her—but because she took it, and she earned every step of the way. I don’t just call her a student anymore. I call her a legend. Let’s have a big round of applause for the best student in Vortex history," Norman pointed at me, and everyone started clapping.

Everyone except Sydney, who rolled her eyes and kept her arms folded across her chest.

"It can never be enough to praise Helanie. But we need to shift our attention for a moment. There’s another serious matter that we’ve decided to deal with today," Kaye placed a hand on his chest and tilted his head slightly, smiling eerily at Sydney.

We all turned to look at her face. She looked like she’d seen a ghost.

"What? What did I do—?" she started rambling, but Kaye gestured at Jenny and Sage to grab Sydney and drag her to the front.

While that was happening, I saw Norman stretch his neck and then point at Penn. freёweɓnovel.com

"Penn! We’re starting training for the fighters who’ll head into the woods to face the Zharns. Come with me—I think you’ve got a little too much heat in your body... I mean, potential. Let’s have you be the first to face a Zharn. How about that?"

The way Norman said it—and how even his brothers looked shocked—gave me chills down my spine. Even Penn seemed unsure whether Norman was praising him or setting him up for failure.

"Come on, wouldn’t you volunteer?" Norman added, then looked at me while wagging two fingers at Penn to follow.

There was something strange in his eyes—anger and vengeance.

"Oh Helanie, your husband is jealous," Cora woke up the second the drama turned spicy.

But why would he be angry with Penn?

What had Penn done?

And more importantly, why would Norman be jealous... when he’d just spent the night with Jessica?

"No! I won’t let him drag Penn into the woods. I will volunteer," although being alone with him will be odd and awkward but I will do it for a friend.
