Helanie:
Everyone had been shocked ever since they heard Norman tell me not to mark Emmet.
"Norman! We understand you're her husband now, but going into this marriage, you knew she would eventually have to face her mates. She hasn't cut ties with us," Kaye argued, standing next to the car while Norman sat in the passenger seat with the door open and his legs hanging out.
He had his hands clasped together and elbows resting on his thighs.
Honestly, I didn't understand why Norman wouldn't want me to help Emmet. There was no way it was jealousy. If it were, he would have stopped me from helping Maximus too.
"Especially with Emmet. Things were even different. You were supposed to reject her so that she could marry Emmet. Do you think feelings for mates die that easily?" Maximus spoke up, watching Norman not move at all. I didn't want them to scold him, but I was still thinking about what the reason could possibly be.
