Chapter 832: 832-Time To Deal With The Lycan
Helanie:
It wasn’t normal news. Her being at the mansion meant a lot of trouble, especially since Emmet was there. If she found out he had already been sent into the dream world, she might try to do something, not to harm him directly, but to be sneaky.
We rushed back home. The minute we arrived, we were stunned by the way she was screaming at the top of her lungs while standing outside, looking completely unhinged.
"Why aren’t you letting me in?" she screamed, standing at the door.
However, she finally pushed through, entering the mansion. Both Norman and I rushed past the warriors, following her inside. Norman was quick to position himself, spreading his arms to block her at the entrance.
I stepped in front of her as well. I noticed her gaze shift from Norman to me. The harsh look on her face was clear, she did not like me at all.
"What are you doing here?" Norman yelled, growling, showing aggression that made her frown.
"I’m your mother. If I come here screaming, don’t you want to ask if I’m in danger? If my life is in jeopardy?" She placed a hand on her chest dramatically, but both Norman and I knew her life was fine. She was perfectly fine. Because of her, everyone else’s life was in danger.
"What the fuck do you want?" I spoke up, and I noticed the shock on her face. She turned to me and gasped.
"Look how she’s talking to me. She got this courage from you brothers mistreating me," she complained almost instantly.
"Answer her," Norman demanded.
I could already tell she was seeing our power. She was watching her sons rise above her emotional drama.
"I came here to let you know that your brother is in his lycan state. He was spotted on top of the mountains, frantically howling and in pain." As soon as she mentioned Maximus, my heart skipped a beat.
"What? Where?" Norman’s tone shifted immediately.
"Right next to the woods. And you had no clue because you’re so busy running after her, chasing her, singing love songs in the woods," she screamed, glaring at me.
I clenched my jaw and stepped between her and Norman, facing her squarely. I could tell she did not like my attitude.
"Next time you enter this mansion, keep your eyes down, because you’re not looking at some helpless Helanie that you abused in a million different ways. You heard me?" I yelled, slapping my hand on the wall next to her.
She jolted backward, glancing at Norman for support. But when he didn’t move, she began to tear up, giving a small nod of understanding.
"Now get the fuck out of here. You gave us the news. There is nothing more we need from you," I said, pointing toward the door.
Her mouth opened as if she alone had the right to mistreat others.
"Warriors! Throw her out!" I called, and she began frantically looking at Norman and the warriors. They grabbed her by the arms.
"Hey, let me go! I’m an Alpha!" she screamed, but they dragged her out. They were all rogues, they did not care about her rank in her pack.
Then the door opened again. This time, it wasn’t for her to be escorted out, but because my mother, Lord McQuoid, Lucy, and Jenny had returned. Each was carrying a baby. Lady Darcy’s struggle paused as her eyes briefly landed on my children, one by one. I heard her yelp and turn to look at Norman.
"I’m not even allowed near my grandchildren!" she screamed.
As she was being dragged past my mother, I noticed a brief eye contact. My mother did not hesitate. She stepped forward and spat in her face. It was the most satisfying moment ever. I liked it for my mother
When neither of her sons nor her ex-husband stepped forward to defend her, I felt the most pleasure in my body. Even Kaye had come out, but it didn’t make him stop the mistreatment of his mother. She deserved it.
Once Lady Darcy was dragged out and kicked from the mansion, I rushed toward my babies, taking one from my mother. At this point, I didn’t even know who was who. Even Norman didn’t know. He was stuck in a crowd of babies, kissing one on the cheek and another on the forehead, while I held one tightly, hugging him and tearing up.
"You left your babies at the hospital," my mother grunted, snatching the baby from my arms. She was already acting like a grandmother, and I loved it.
"It’s okay. I’m pretty sure she had a good reason," Lord McQuoid, being a gentle soul, defended me, and my mother raised an eyebrow at him.
"So you’re already taking your daughter-in-law’s side?" she hissed, though it was all playful banter.
However, my smile slowly faded as I remembered there was something urgent I needed to do.
"They found Maximus. They said he’s on the mountain, all alone and suffering," I said, and all the playful banter vanished.
"I will prepare my warriors and send them to fetch Maximus," Lord McQuoid said, but I shook my head.
"I don’t think bringing him here would do much. I honestly think it’s time we stopped just trying to delay it. This is already reaching an end. There’s no other way to get Maximus back but to break his curse. Besides, there are so many babies here and so many people. What if the warriors lose him?" I questioned, sharing my concerns with everyone.
"I’m not saying he’s a monster but Helanie might be right," Lucy uttered, then instantly fell silent. I could tell she was still wary from her previous encounter with him, and she was even more shocked to realize it was actually Maximus. My other friends were also frightened, they had heard the stories but never faced him directly like that before.
Lord McQuoid nodded slowly. "It’s too risky to bring him here."
"I will have to go and find him myself," I decided, and everyone watched my face in shock.
