Chapter 620: 620-My Husband’s Painful Nights.

Helanie:

"How was your night?" Norman walked in, looking sleepless. Of course, he stayed awake. He could not get an hour of sleep without cuddling with me.

"You left me. I was worried for you," I hid the fact that I spent the night in pain, throwing up the whole time.

"I had to take a run," he stole eyes from me when heading toward the bathroom.

"I had a talk with Kaye and Maximus last night. I believe you let them come to our room," I whispered, and he stopped in his steps.

"We didn’t do it." The minute I said that, he turned around and sighed tiredly, looking so defeated. "What made you think I will sleep with my mates even when I know how much it pains you to think of me with your brothers?" I added.

"Didn’t it hurt you to not be with them, Helanie?" he uttered with a soft look on his face. He was not judging me for it. He walked over to the bed and sat down, a weird look on his face. "Although I was shocked that you thought of me even through so much pain," he uttered. "But now I want to know what you went through after you made them leave the room last night, and I want you to be honest with me." He held my hand when asking me the question that he could not bear to hear about.

I don’t know why he wanted to know so bad.

"It wasn’t that bad," as soon as I lied, he put my hand on his head and warned me through his eyes not to lie anymore.

"No, Norman. I saw what you did last night against your will just for me. I am not talking about this," I had enough of his questions. I did not want him to force himself into agreeing to this craziness.

"Not even for me?" he inquired, and my eyebrows furrowed.

"We are marked mates too. And your pain was my pain last night. I went through extreme pain, feeling yours and my brothers’ pain too since they are a part of me," he placed his hand on his chest when telling me he had been in pain too.

"Helanie, it is not a crime to be with your mates. Especially when the Moon Goddess wants it. I cannot take that pain—it was too much," he looked so awkward, probably even embarrassed that he couldn’t take that pain.

"Norman—," I didn’t understand how to respond anymore.

"I don’t want to force you, but if I am the reason you were not able to do it, then I am sorry. But—-I shouldn’t be the reason anymore. I am okay! they are your mates too," he uttered, looking so disturbed as he couldn’t directly tell me that he was ready to share me with his brothers.

"You are just saying it because you think I am in pain," I snapped at him, freeing my hand from his hands.

"I am in as much pain. I don’t think there is another option. And then my brothers, they were in pain too. Kaye was stabbing himself with a silver dagger to get himself distracted, while Maximus ran miles nonstop," Norman sighed. "If the pain starts again tonight, I don’t know how we all will tolerate it."

I felt like I had no response. I had no idea Kaye had been doing that. I just nodded my head and got out of the bed. We were all pretty busy with pain last night. A good meal might help us recover our energy.

However, no one came to the dining room. Kaye took his food to his bedroom, while Maximus didn’t even want to eat anything. I had a feeling they were upset with me. So I waited for Kaye to come to the kitchen to leave the dirty dishes, and once he did, I stepped in his way.

"Move!" he demanded in a stern tone.

"Why are you angry with me?" I asked worriedly.

"You wanna know why? Because you fucking moved on. Last night when I left your room, I couldn’t help but remember our past together. Sure, I was an asshole that I wanted you to commit to me. I was rushing you, but you didn’t even want to be in a relationship with me at that time. Unlike how you did with Maximus. You were ready to tell everyone until you thought he was playing you. Same with Emmet, you were honest with him on why you didn’t want to rush. For me, you wanted me to just listen while you told me you didn’t want to be in a relationship with me, without any proper explanation. That’s what it is," he muttered, his eyes narrowing at my face and showing so much anger.

"You’re probably forgetting you brought Kesha next to me. You basically gave me an ultimatum, making me realize you’d have no objection accepting Kesha, and that you had two options," I hissed back at him, and he suddenly put his hand on my neck, grabbing it and pulling me closer.

"I don’t give a damn about Kesha. I told you I would only accept her for a while. I told you the truth. You hid everything from me," he grunted, his eyes showing aggression.

"Let me go," I hissed and tried to push him off.

However, I got to see realisation strike him before my eyes and he removed his hand from my neck.

"You should not come in my way," he grunted, warning me when walking past me.

"Or else what?" I demanded.

He stopped in his steps, and in a very grumpy and stern voice responded, "Or else I will not be able to control myself and touch you—kiss you—," I heard his loud gulp while my body got covered in goosebumps.

"You only thought about your relationship last night, not about the fact that we were in pain," he added before he stormed out of the kitchen.

I walked outside after him when Maximus came home. The minute our eyes met, he quickly looked down and ran as fast as he could to avoid getting in contact with me.

’Helanie! It is meant to be. Even Norman wants us to do it so that he can be freed from the pain,’ Cora uttered softly, and I began to sigh, wondering if I had made a mistake pushing them out of the room last night.

We were all silent that day, and then the night arrived.

"I will be out in the woods," I could tell Norman had sensed the tension in the air once again. I didn’t know I’d feel the pain so soon again.

But this time, I gave him a head nod as I aimed to help him and the others with their pain.
