Mated To My Best Friend's Lycan Alpha Brothers-Chapter 89: You Did This, Right?

(Author’s POV)

The ongoing night seemed protracted and a dreadful one, full of anxiousness and fearsome thoughts for everyone at the pack house. Tomorrow felt more farfetched for the Everests family.

They were all gathered in the living room, the atmosphere out there was pretty somber. For a few moments, nobody utter a single word and all of them were holding grim expressions on their faces.

Noah, tapping his finger on the sofa armrest broke the silence, "Nora, can you tell all of us what exactly happened at the lake?"

Nora whose face was all red now from crying, she answered, her voice quite hoarse and throaty, "Ehem, ehem. Dad, Mom, brothers, I don’t know exactly how Brother Brave got injured, when he came out from the forest towards me and Myra, he was already severally wounded." She sniffled at she finished saying this, recalling Brave’s brutal appearance.

Sara patted her on the back delicately, "Ora, don’t cry dear. Everything is going to be fine. Just tell us whatever happened from the point you reached the lake. It can give us a hint and help us in finding the perpetrator."

Nora pressed her lips; the flashbacks of the incident disturbed her vision. Still she recollected herself and narrated the whole scene to them vividly. She told them about the chat with Myra she couldn’t complete and the noise they heard which interrupted them. Brave’s arrival, his drenched and bloody look, everything. When she was about to tell them regarding the opal pendant, she paused in the middle, realizing something. The sudden realization dawned on her and her eyes widened in shock.

All of them propped up in anticipation, as Sara became restless; she spoke, "W~why did you stop? Did anything strike your memory, Ora?"

Nora was conflicted. She didn’t know what she heard was true or just a faux. She countered them with a question of hers, "Mom, Dad, can you answer one of my question first? Is it possible; is it truly possible for us, werewolves, to have a human as our fated mate?"

The room fell to a pin drop silence; even the sound of their breathing wasn’t audible because everyone had their breath hitched. This unforeseen question of Nora caught all of them off guard, except Alaric. He knew what was coming; this was his own query too.

After all, the moon goddess rarely gifted fated mates to any kind in this day and age and a human mate at that? Alaric was curious to listen about this topic.

Noah with his eyebrows furrowed replied, "Form the ancient texts and until now, no incident has been recorded for a werewolf having a human fate mate. Yes, there have been chosen mates but not a fated one. Why do you ask this suddenly?"

She grinded her teeth as she was in a state of dilemma. In the end she chose to tell them the truth. "Mom, do you remember the black opal gemstone you all have been searching for in order to awake Brother Brave’s wolf? I found it and gifted him as a pendant. He had been wearing it but nothing happened even after that. But~" her voice trailed.

Dion squinted his orbs, "But right now, when I checked, he wasn’t wearing it."

"Yeah, because it broke." Nora confessed

"It broke?" Elio voice was a bit shrilled. "How so?"

Noah glanced at him, "ELIO", his voice authoritative, gesturing for Elio to let Nora complete her words.

She continued, "When I was supporting Brother Brave’s figure, Myra was behaving very oddly, she seemed to be under some spell and behaving as if she was in some daze or trance. She didn’t even faze away looking at his condition at first and touched his pendant directly. That pendant started shining and it broke, and, and Brother Brave’s wolf said something. He called Myra his~, he said the MATE word after that."

Sara blinked several times to understand Nora’s words, as Noah’s hands shook violently, "So, you are saying Brave called Myra his, MATE?" Nora only nodded subtly in response.

The brothers were teleported in a state of utter disbelief and didn’t know how to react.

Although Alaric knew about the truth already, but when Nora put it into words it felt like his heart was pricked with countless needles or like thousands ants were crawling on it.

Elio’s mouth was agape, confounded by his twin sister’s drastic revelation. Leo screeched inside him, ’Just how~, how can that be? Elio, I sensed a connection with Myra from the very start. That’s why I agreed to approach her and you even kissed, you even kissed her. But she is Brave’s mate?’ Elio head was bursting with every enunciated word that came from Leo.

The one who was at a complete loss was Dion. He was bewildered, Drey too was upset and fuming, ’This is utter bullshit. She can’t be Brave’s mate. She is our mate, our fated.’

He clapped back at Nora, "It, it~, it can’t be possible. You must have, must have heard wrongly Nor or maybe, maybe Brave was in a life and death situation and he must have called Myra his mate only because he was thinking about his ex-mate."

Alaric commented hurriedly and backed Dion up, "I agree with what Dion says. It makes sense. Brave’s already had a mate so it can be possible that he was thinking about that girl when he saw your friend approaching. You may not know this Nora, but Brave had a hard time letting go of his ex." Alex hummed too in response. It was simply brainless because she was already Alaric’s mate. And a person cannot have two fated mates at the same time, isn’t it?

Noah and Sara remained silent for a long while and only looked at each other. Noah then sighed and said, "We’ll have to wait and see. When Brave wakes up, we’ll know for sure what it exactly is. Meanwhile, I’ll contact the elders and inquire about it." He then turned to Elio, "How about the Clinton kid?"

Elio instantly snapped back from his whirlwind thoughts and sat erect, "Father, the child’s condition is stable and he will most likely wake up tomorrow morning."

Both his parents nodded and sighed in unison as they were relieved, ’at least one good news.’

On the other side of the pack house, Yona was freaking out completely, "How the hell did that bitch survive after all that? And those useless rogues, Damien Presto and Victor Smith, they fucked up the usual plan and messed with the eldest young Alpha."

Her wits were overflowing with fright and horror, "What if, what if those pieces of garbage said something to the young Alpha about me? What will I do then? Forget about being a Lycan’s wife, these people will torture me to no end." She gulped hard thinking about the consequences.

A calming voice reverberated in her mind, "Yona, come to my room, RIGHT NOW."

Her eye went up in terror as she clenched her fists hard. But, nevertheless, she made her way towards the fifth floor of the pack house.

She was about to knock at the door but a hand grabbed her from the inside of the room, and the door was shut and locked.

Dion had pinned Yona on the door, his hand was holding Yona’s throat mercilessly, "Yona Brown, it was your doing right? You tried to harm my family right?

Yona tried to pry his hand open, her windpipe was choking and she was desperate for air. She shook her head violently, trying to deny it. But Dion dug his finger nails into the corners of her fragile looking neck, "Do you think I don’t know. I know everything."

Dion squeezed her neck harshly and with a single thrust, then he threw Yona cruelly to the ground. Her face went pale and colorless as she huffed and puffed for oxygen, limping and gasping profusely. With her hands still on her neck she spoke, her voice a mere whimper, "I don’t~, I~ don’t Alpha Dion."

"Mother gave you the responsibility for today’s dinner and coincidentally enough, you organized at the greenhouse, huhhh? The place attached to the lake where the trap was set up. You take me for a fool, Yona Brown. I know just how conceited you are. I have turned a blind eye many a times but this time~"

Yona held Dion’s feet, her tone pleading, "Alpha Dion, I don’t know. I don’t know anything about it. I simply followed my Luna’s order to host tonight’s dinner at the greenhouse. I know nothing about the trap."

Dion shoved her again but didn’t speak. Since the incident happened, he has been doubting Yona and was just testing her.

Seeking this as an opportunity, Yona continued as she tried to stand up, "Alpha Dion, I too think it is odd that there was a trap set up at the lake where the princess and ’her friend’ were. It is way too coincidental." She emphasized on the words, her friend, her tone sounded innocent. "None of the pack members knew about the lake stroll, apart from the people at the dining table. Why will a pack member try to harm our Young princess and Alpha? There was no outsider there."

Dion understood where she was aiming at. She tried to put the blame on Myra, deliberately exhibiting her as a villain.

Dion raised his eyebrows, he was amused at the audacity of this shitless she wolf. Myra was his destined mate, who didn’t even know about the werewolf kind’s existence, so could she be involved in something like this? Definitely not, was his answer.
