Mated To My Best Friend's Lycan Alpha Brothers-Chapter 85: Painful Grunts of A Broken Wolf

(Author’s POV)

Brave slashed Damien’s throat in one move, cutting his wind pipe. Damien clutched his larynx, struggling to breathe heavily. The lack of oxygen turned his face red with suffocation. The crimson liquid seeped from his throat like a flowing water tap as his mouth coughed up blood after blood. He landed on the ground with a smashing sound and in an instant and met his end, with his eyes still open.

Brave who was exhausted and in excruciating pain, was huffing and puffing breathlessly. His injuries were still fresh and his body was full of tiny and big cuts. But he collected himself and didn’t fell in front of his enemy. The fight wasn’t over yet. He did not wanted the other rogue to get the opportunity to make a comeback and strike him. After all, Damien’s companion, the other rogue wolf named Victor Smith was still alive.

With a murderous glint in his eyes and dark red blood painting his gaunt face, Brave was staring right at Victor with a blank expression giving him a deadly stare. His gaze was sharp and menacing. He lick his burst lip and tasted his own blood.

The rainfall picked up again as the drops of water touched Brave’s face and dripped from it with an easing flow. Holding the silver dagger in his hand, he tilted his head in a semicircular motion, his bones crackled by the movement, the sound echoing through the air.

Victor was in utter disbelief and in a state of shock. He could not phantom the fact that his longtime partner, his friend was actually dead.

After all, Damien and Victor were no ordinary rogue wolves; they both were the commander in chief’s deputies, the Rogue King’s most trusted subordinate and one of the strong wolves from the rogue clan. They have had gone and completed countless missions together, more dangerous than this one.

But an injured and almost lifeless Lycan prince, who was also called a useless wolf in their community because he was striped off his heir throne, has killed a tough and robust guy like Damien Presto.

Victor was beyond speechless as he shivered uncontrollably in fear, ’I have to get out of here’, this was the first thought that came to his mind. So, he ran for his life with all his might, never looking back. But he left few final words for Brave, "Brave Everests, this isn’t over yet. You might have won today but you and your entire family will pay for your sins very soon. Mind you, I will avenge my families and friend’s death."

Brave didn’t move even an inch from his place as he stood erect, his eyes never leaving the scaredy looking Victor who soon disappeared from his sight. After making sure that no one was in there, he collapsed on the ground, his entire being screaming in gruesome pain and agony.

With heavy breathing, he composed himself still clutching onto the silver dagger in his hand tightly. ’I have to take Nora and Myra to the mansion. It is still not safe here. There could be more wolves lurking here. I have to make sure they are safe and sound’ he muttered to himself. His only concern was to take his sister and Myra to a safe place. So enduring immense pain, he tried to get up, but due to the lack of strength he couldn’t.

He struggled for quite a few minutes and somehow after multiple failed attempts Brave managed to get on his feet. As he started walking, he staggered eventually; his feet were not cooperating with him and were not in sync. He wobbled his way towards the girls. The wet mud sticking to his shoes, making a trail and the blood from his body dropped on the ground. With every step that he took, a painful grunt escaped from his inner being.

As he entered the place where the boundary of the barrier was setup, he gripped the silver dagger firmly and entered in it while limping.

This was the moment when Nora was confessing her identity to Myra, "I have to tell you something of extreme importance. I have been meaning to tell you, Myra, my long kept secret~" ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

The sudden voice of Brave’s grunting reached Nora and Myra’s ears, alerting them, their focus shifted completely.

Myra with a horrifying look on her face asked, "Wh~, what, what was that? Did you hear it too? Was that an animal, Nor?" she was scared to the core.

Aura, Nora’s wolf, warned her, ’this is definitely a wolf’s growling.’ Hearing Aura’s words, Nora whiffed the damp air; the sudden smell of blood hit Nora’s nostrils and the painful cry hit them again.

She called her brothers, ’Brothers, we have a problem. Rush fast.’

The chilling sound of Brave’s painful grunts filled the air. Myra was scared shitless but her first priority was to take Nora to a safe place. She shielded her friend with her small body, "We have to get out of here. It is not safe here anymore. Whatever you have to tell me, I’ll listen to you. But we have to go back to your place, RIGHT NOW." She held Nora’s hand and started running back towards the wooden gate with which they entered earlier, but it was latched tightly.

This made Myra’s blood run cold and she frightfully started pulling the gate’s handle with much force, her hands turning red in the process.

Nora’s eyes narrowed seeing Myra’s struggle. She asked Myra to step aside as she tried to pull at the gate. But the gate didn’t budge. Even with her strength as a wolf, she wasn’t able to open the normal looking wooden gate.

Aura’s words echoed inside her mind, ’Someone has put a spell around this place and tampered it. Nora, it is a very powerful magic. Even I can’t break it. The place isn’t safe anymore, we have to take Myra out of here, she is in grave danger.’

Nora didn’t wasted anytime and grabbed Myra’s wrist and started sprinting towards the way which will lead them to the front side of the pack house.

Brave’s yelps and bellowing kept getting closer and closer to the girls. As Nora reached the boundary of barrier and tried to surpass it, an electric shock hit her hard, she staggered a bit.

Myra asked, her tone all vibrating with instilled fear, "What, what~, what happened? Why did you stop? We need to get out of here, Nor."

Nora couldn’t tell Myra about the barrier as the latter won’t understand it. But before she could make up any excuse, they saw a dark figure in a distant place, coming towards them. The person was reeking of blood as the odor intensified.

Staggeringly and with wobbly steps, Brave was walking towards the pair. When he saw them clearly from his side, the black opal pendant around his neck shined unknowingly, though he was oblivious to it.

Both Nora and Myra narrowed their eyes at the walking figure, the bright object around his neck glowing. Nora immediately understood who the person was as she sighed in relief and walked forward.

Brave’s blood drenched figure came to her vision and her relieved expression turned into a horrifying one. She was jolted as she looked at Brave’s condition.

Brave was all soaked up in rain, his hair were damp and his bloody face was scary. His white shirt which was dyed red now by his blood, made Nora gulp in horror. The claw marks on his chest were visible, blood still oozing from it profusely. His hand was also injured and there were several tiny cuts on his arm and chest area.

Nora ran towards him hurriedly, her hands were shaking as she reached Brave’s side and touched his face. A mild grunt escaped Brave’s mouth, "Wh~, what, Brother~, brother Brave, what are you? What happened to you? Who the fucking hell in this world did this to you? I will kill them right this instant. Tell me who are they?"

Brave smiled as he saw his little sister’s concern filled words, "Uhhhhhh ..... they are ....they are already gone ..... they were damned..... uhhhhhh ..... scared by your brother .... Uhhhhhh ... and ran for their lives. Do not worry, uhhhhhh ..... I have already handled ... it."

Seeing that Brave was having difficulty to even speak few words properly, Nora tensed up. As Brave was a wolf less Lycan, his injuries cannot be healed fast. With her clammy hands, she supported her brother as Brave leaned onto her shoulder taking small steps.

Myra was rooted to her spot, her fear struck eyes were now fixated on Brave’s gaunt face and his drenched body. As the opal pendant’s shape became clear to her orbs, she spaced out.

She started walking towards the pair who was oblivious to her movements. Her eyes didn’t left Brave’s neck and the pendant around it, just like what happened at the night camp, like she was under some spell. Her steps took her to Brave.

When she reached close enough and the distance between them was just less than a meter, her steps halted.

Seeing Myra, Nora started stammering, "M~, Maa, Myra, Bro- Brother Brave. He was attacked by an animal. I have to; I have to take him to hospital."

But Myra wasn’t listening to her friend’s words; her eyes were blankly staring at Brave’s neck and the glowing opal. With slow but decisive steps she stood just in front of Brave and extended her right hand to touch the opal pendant.
