Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates-Chapter 557-The Fallen Alpha

Helanie:

"You really thought stealing the crown from you was my end goal? You’ve been hiding behind the alpha crown for way too long. Your cockiness defeated you," I hissed, then gave him a pressed-lip smile.

"No! What is she saying? I’m already injured—she wants to beat me to a pulp now?" Darius held his father’s arm and shook it, trying to get his attention.

His father’s eyes were wide open, and all I could see was fear in them. I began to wonder if his father knew he had been lying.

"Darius—you really didn’t think this was coming your way?" Emmet asked, stepping forward. I hadn’t told anyone this, but there were times when Emmet would look me deep in the eye and smile like he knew what my end goal had been.

And him stepping forward, signaling his warrior to bring in the weapon of truth, confirmed my suspicion that he knew.

"Stop this—you’re not allowed to stab me with that," Darius pointed at Emmet, warning him not to get any closer.

He held the dagger in his hand, making my heart beat louder. In the next few minutes, Darius was going to confess everything.

"Actually—yes, he can. He can do that," Vonston added, "Helanie has proven that not only is she physically stronger than you, but her mental ability is far ahead of yours. She is the true alpha queen North has always deserved." It was shocking to hear those words from him.

He had shown growth after the first trial. And after that, he didn’t act blindly at all. I watched Alpha Diaz get up and grab Altan’s hand, dragging him out with his warriors and pack members following. They didn’t even sit down to hear the truth, but the big cameras would be broadcasting it for months.

My so-called family stayed though. My brother kept pointing at me, then at his chest, telling everyone I was his sister.

"Stop it!" Darius yelled when Maximus snuck up behind him and grabbed his hands behind his back. Kaye wrapped his arms around his father’s shoulders and kind of dragged him aside to avoid intervening.

In front of everyone, Emmet stabbed Darius right in the stomach and let him fall to his knees.

"What have you done?" Darius screamed, his hands on the wounded area. He started to squeeze it as if that would help the poison come out.

Jessica had walked out of the crowd and approached us, her eyes filled with tears as she watched Darius.

"Now, tell me Darius—what do you remember when you look at me?" I stepped forward to ask him. It was so hard to do.

He lifted his head and growled, "Oh! You really want to relive that night, don’t you?" The smirk on his lips appeared without him knowing. I could tell he was trying hard not to say it all.

But the dagger was pulling the truth from within him.

"You weren’t that confident that night. Remember when you begged while quickly putting on the pendant as if that would make us stop? All of us stared at you before we attacked. How was it losing your virginity that night?" he started laughing loudly.

He kept going until I decided I didn’t want to hear any more. I just wanted the truth and an admission of guilt—and he had done that.

But there was one more thing I wanted to know from him. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

"Who sent you there that night?" As soon as I asked, Darius smirked.

Seeing him still alive in front of me was so hard. But I had to leave him alive so he could get the shame he deserves.

"Why? Why were you sent there that night?" I added.

"Hmm, maybe someone’s father didn’t like you hanging around his son," he watched me gasp.

"It was your boyfriend’s father. Who didn’t know his son was just fooling around with you. He was afraid his son was serious, so—he sent us there. And in return, he helped us with our reports at the academy. He wanted you out of his son’s life," Darius cleared up all the questions in my mind.

I was stunned, and tears sprang down my cheeks. I got this punishment for love that wasn’t even serious?

"Ugh, but you know what—I regret one thing now," he straightened his back and suddenly grabbed a sword from the warrior’s hand and hissed as he lunged at me.

It was a sudden attack since nobody thought he was capable of fighting the poison in his body and taking this step.

But that’s when Jessica grabbed the dagger from the ground and rushed in, attacking her brother from the side and stabbing the dagger into the side of his neck so hard that it came out from his temple.

Screams filled the air, and everybody began to run away from their seats.

As soon as Darius’s body fell to the ground, Jessica sat down with him. She held his head in her lap and started crying.

"It’s okay, baby brother. Everything is fine now," she began to speak, smiling through the pain.

We were all so shocked.

"You will be at peace now. This world is no longer for you. You have—broken the biggest rule. You have committed a crime against another innocent individual. But—but it will be fine now. You can rest. You don’t need to see everyone hate you, right? I did it to help you, right?" she was sobbing and gently caressing his cheeks.

"Oh, my little brother. Let me sing for you," she sniffled, "I see your spirit, brave and strong,

Where you belong, where you belong. And as you grow, and make your way,

I’ll be your anchor, come what may."

She had such an angelic voice that the rain suddenly stopped. The birds started to gather around her as she cried, holding her dead brother in her arms.

"In the next world, you will come back as my son, and my dear, this time, I will make you a better one."
