Mated To My Best Friend's Lycan Alpha Brothers-Chapter 67: Deep Down He Knows The Answer

(Author’s POV)

Elio, unlike others wasn’t in his room, but was star gazing or rather lost inside his own world at the rooftop garden. He was lying on the poolside chair with his right hand folded beneath his head. His thoughts, mixed with worry, anxiety, curiosity and jealousy, were restricting him from getting any rest.

The wind was quite strong at this time of the night, but Elio didn’t feel any cold from it. Although, he was only wearing a mud green colored tank top and a white pair of shorts with it.

Elio whispered to himself, "What will happen? How will Myra react?" Different kind of thoughts propped up inside his head as he continued to mumble slowly, "Will she accept us or will I lose her completely? She’s won’t run away, right Leo?"

Leo who was nervous as his companion, tried to soothe Elio’s worries, "Don’t brood over those kinds of thoughts and just wait for what will happen. Myra is a sensible and intelligent girl. And as reasonable as she is, she will eventually understand the reason why we have hidden our identities from her."

Elio was still not satisfied with what Leo said, so he posed another of his worry, "But she has been in the dark for too long. Nora told us that her wolf, Aura, came to her when she was sixteen, right. So, for four years, no no, for ’four long years’ Nora hid such an important thing from Myra. You tell me, how can Myra just accept it so readily? She will be hurt and sad and heartbroken. The many times I have talked to her, I can just tell how much she value Nora and how much trust she has in her. Otherwise, who in their right mind would come and live in a house full of strangers. It is only because she has faith and belief in Nora and wanted to know whether we are good to Nora or not."

Leo stated, "So, you think Nora has concealed this from Myra intentionally? You think so little of your twin younger sibling, huhh? She didn’t had a choice at that time."

Elio paused at Leo’s words, understanding that he has completely misunderstood his point. So he explained, "I am not blaming Nora. How can I? She is the most precious being in our lives, my adorable little sister. But just because I love her and she is my twin doesn’t mean I will not point out her wrongs from right. She must have gotten multiple opportunities previously to let Myra know, but she chose not to and kept it a secret from Myra. You know, there is a saying, ’A shattered glass cannot be fixed.’ I am afraid this might come true."

"You should have some trust in Nora. It will all turn out to be fine. And let me add this, when the light emits on the shard of broken glasses, it dazzles and reflect like they are marvelous jewels or diamonds. So, why are you only thinking pessimistically? The way you think is the way things go" Leo’s encouraging words eased Elio’s tensed shoulders as he released a sigh.

At the Everests Cooperation’s Building

It was three in the morning and Brave was still working like his life was dependent on it or something. He was all alone in that tall and humungous skyscraper.

The Chief Financial Officer’s office was on the forty night floor and he was reviewing documents after documents nonstop, without taking any break.

The vast room illuminated big and small city lights which were twinkling from nearby buildings and area and a bright light was focusing on the glass table piled up with extensive paperwork.

Brave has spent all day having meetings after meetings, whether it was a virtual one or required his physical presence, he was present in each. And if he wasn’t attending a meeting, he would ask his assistant to provide him with more data and documents and studied it like there was an exam he has to crack.

Alaric was clinging to him all day, keeping an eye on him. So, he pretended to be all calm and absorbed in work. Alaric barely made him eat in that time period and Brave has only had a sandwich. Although, this wouldn’t make him sick easily, but it was worrisome to say the least.

Forty eight hours have been passed and he hadn’t slept a wink, because whenever he tried to close his eyes, his mind would either flashed the sorrow and disappointment of not being able to wake up his wolf or the scenes of that dreadful night. And if not that, then his brain would automatically shift its thoughts towards Myra.

With a loud thud, he stopped working and sighed, rolling his head back, "I don’t know what I am doing? I don’t even know how she is now?"

Brave got to know about Myra’s fall and her feverish state from Alaric. Though, Alaric omitted a lot of parts about his kiss and Elio’s first aid and all.

When Brave heard Alaric’s casual words regarding the incident last night, he paused and gritted his teeth, he wanted to ask Alaric if Myra was all right and if her fever had subsided or not but he suppressed those thoughts instantly because he knew full well that Alaric didn’t like Myra and would find it fishy if Brave asked about her condition.

But now that he knew that Myra wasn’t well, Brave felt like he was standing on tenterhooks. He wanted to check up on her condition but only one thought restricted him from running towards her, "Just why am I sooooo concerned about her well-being? She’s just my sister’s friend and has no part to play in my dull and boring life."

That’s why, Brave didn’t return with Alaric despite Nora’s request. He had this unconscious feeling that something was wrong with him and if he saw Myra in such state he would lose control and that could have pretty damaging consequences.

Brave got up from his chair and walked towards the glass wall. He traced the crystal floor to ceiling wall with his fingers, immersed in the notion of all that was going on. The opal neck piece was still hung around his neck. Though, it was useless to him now but it was the first present from his dear sister. He was reluctant to take it off.

Clutching the stone with one hand, his other one was inside his pants pocket as he closed his eyes. The whirlwind of chaotic conceptions swirl inside him. freewebnσvel.cѳm

A tingling sensation made its way to his heart suddenly as he was jolted from it. His hands dropped instantly to his side as he staggered a bit. "What, just what was that?" but the feeling vanished.

Brave blinked several times trying to process what had happened and a bud of hope bloomed inside him, "Maybe, maybe there’s still a way."

Brave grabbed onto the pendant tightly, shutting his eyes close. But that tingling didn’t happen again. He clenched his teeth in a desperate attempt but there was nothing.

As he opened his eyes again, they were bloodshot and veiny. His lower lip was also bleeding because he was biting on it too hard. Shaking his head, he refused to be dejected, "Let’s try again, AGAIN."

Evening out his breathing pattern, he held the pendant gently and closed his eyes softly this time and waited, but the result was still the same.

Brave racked his brain cells and something clicked within. He replicated his previous actions and inserted one hand in his pocket again and miraculously the sensation was back. His body started shaking as slight tears formed at the corners of his already reddened eyes. He called, "RAW, you there?"

The sensation was still there although Raw didn’t reply. But this time, Brave didn’t get discouraged and called for him again, "Buddy, wake up. It’s time to wake up, Raw."

Brave’s mouth agape as the tears that he was holding onto spilled. He heard a faint, very faint grunting sound. In a hoarse and choking tone, he spoke, "RAW, you are~ ..... you are back, you are back." Though, Raw still didn’t reply to his calling but Brave was overjoyed and thrilled, listening to his mere breathing.

He took out his hand from his pocket and found there was an unfamiliar piece of object which was lying inside, a ruby earring.

Brave narrowed his eyes and remembered that he had picked it up at Nora and Elio’s birthday bash. He jotted down his memory, as he pinched his nose bridge slightly, "Why is this in my pocket?" Then a memory flashed.

When the birthday party was in full swing, he saw Elio and Myra having a conversation and after that she entered the elevator and left for her room. Elio walked away shortly afterwards. That’s when, Brave noticed that mistakenly Myra’s earring has come off and was lying under a nearby decoration piece. He picked it up and held onto it, so he could give it to Nora who can then return it to Myra.

A strange thought occurred to him, "Is it because of this ruby earring that’s why I felt Raw’s presence? Or am I just overthinking things? Is that human girl Myra, a key to wake Raw? But she’s just an ordinary human being, how can she have such powers?"

But deep down, he knew he has got the answer to this problem of his.
