Mated To My Best Friend's Lycan Alpha Brothers-Chapter 92: She’s Still Unaware

(Author’s POV)

As Lana stepped out of the room, leaving the two girls alone and shut the door, the sunny room filled with warmth started radiating cold and icy vibes. The air around them turned oppressive, like someone had sucked the oxygen out of that place, it was thoroughly suffocating, especially for Nora. She was holding her breath.

Myra didn’t change her facial expression at all and kept on looking at Nora without blinking, her eyes were piercing holes at Nora.

Nora’s palms turned clammy as she was avoiding any eye contact with her friend, her guilty conscience was so high that any minute and she would burst out crying and wailing. Her eyes were already jammed with some unshed tears ready to spill.

Myra raised her eyebrows at her, in a highly taunting tone she started, "Don’t you have anything to tell to your, soulmate?"

Nora instantly knew that she was pissed beyond measures and why should she not be.

She stammered, the words struck in throat. At this time, her wolf, Aura, too wasn’t answering to give her any suggestions like usual, so she was in a bind. She somehow managed to compose herself a little bit, though she was shivering to some degree, "Myra, I-I, I was about to tell you, I rea-lly was. Last night ..... last night when I asked you .... for a, for a stroll near the lake, I wanted to tell you then about this, ..... about each and everything, but things happened to my brother and~" she said this in one go and at the end her voice trailed off.

"And what? Two weeks, Nora Smith, no, Nora Everests. YOU HAD TWO WHOLE FUCKING WEEKS to tell me this to my face .... Didn’t you? And what the heck did you do huhhh? Tell me? You call me your soulmate, you childhood friend, best friend? And you kept quiet about~, about such a thing?" Myra’s throaty voice was filled with immense intensity, it raised a notch.

She continued, her eyes were rimmed a shade of red but her glare remained cold, "I do understand that you didn’t tell me about such a thing on the phone or through email, but when we met after three months and came face to face, isn’t it the first thing you should have told me, ISN’T IT? Did they brain wash you? Are they threatening you to hide this?"

Nora kept silent like a child who was getting a harsh scolding, her head lowered in obvious shame. But when Myra’s words reached her, her eyebrows creased a little. ’Two weeks? Three months? Call? Email? Brain wash me?’, Nora’s brain didn’t process her friend’s words instantly.

This time her wolf came alive and murmured, ’Nora, Myra is talking about your family being wolves. She still is unaware that you are a wolf too. She thinks they all brain washed you into accepting our kind. She is not in the mood to understand anything. You better refrain from telling her the whole thing. It will only aggravate the current scenario. We can tell her after she has calmed down.’

Grasping Aura’s words Nora flinched, the task ahead of her became all the more harder. But her wolf’s word didn’t fit right with her; she clapped back, ’NO, I will, not, hide anything from her. It is better to let everything out now than to create a similar situation again.’

This time Nora was determined to reveal the complete truth. She had already made a grave mistake once.

Meanwhile, Myra was firing accusations like a tracer bullet, her voice resonating, "I had an inkling that something was off about this place and family, I thought they belonged to some cult and tried to respect them but never in my wildest dreams I thought, that these people whom I have been living on with, for weeks, are~, are MONSTERS."

Her words pricked Nora heart, shattering it into million pieces as Aura too felt the brunt of it. The word monster was like a nemesis for the wolf kind.

Nora defended, though she sounded desperate and small, "We are not monsters. Myra please, can you listen to what I have to say, once, ummm?"

Myra wasn’t in the mood this time and didn’t give in like she always did, "WE? Are you on their side now? Your brothers might be your biological family but saying that they are no monsters, hahhh? Your fucking animal brother was hounding and howling at me and tried to attack me? And you are telling me he is not a monster. Wake up, Nora, your brother, he is not a human. They are brainwashing you." The last sentence, Myra nearly yelled it as she got worked up. A sharp pain shot in her spinal cord, her pale face shifted red, "Shhhhheshh."

Nora noticed it and immediately asked, "Wha~, what, what happened? Is it hurting anywhere? Are you injured? Let me see." She tried to hold Myra’s hand but the latter snatched it back.

"DON’T TOUCH ME", Myra was enraged. The betrayal was too much for her. She never expected her childhood friend to conceal such a big secret from her.

"Okay, okay. I will not touch you. But at least please tell me where you are hurt. I will call for the nurse. She’ll check on you." Nora tried to soothe the atmosphere; her focus was completely shifted towards Myra’s painful and low groan.

"I don’t need anyone", saying this, she tried to get up from her bed.

Nora panicked as she reached for Myra and supported her, but the latter was appalled at her attempt. She tried to get out of Nora’s firm grip, but her friend didn’t budge, "You need to rest. Where are you trying to go?"

"I don’t want to be in this place even for a minute, a place full of animals", Myra jerked her body, and somehow Nora’s grip loosened. She wobbled with her steps; her body aching like it was on pins and needles.

Nora called out, "Myra, listen. At least, listen to what I have to say once, pleaseeeeee, I beg you. For the sake of our friendship." She was pleading, her voice choked as she said that.

Myra paused and faced her, "For the sake of ’OUR FRIENDSHIP.’ Okay, but let me, ask you one thing first. If I ask you, to return with me to Damona and leave this place with me, will you, for the sake of our friendship?" She stood still waiting for Nora’s reply.

Nora didn’t utter anything and stood there with her head lowered, the latter gave her a wry smile, "SEE, and you are tell me they haven’t brainwashed you? You never even hesitated before. And now you can’t even look me in the eye?" she scoffed.

Nora tried to counter her friend’s words, "Myra, it is not that. But please, listen to me. I have a lot to tell you. Once I have told everything, you can decide what to do and whether to stay or not. But please, can you, can you give me a chance to make things right."

Myra gritted her teeth, she was barely able to stand properly but she didn’t want any kind of sympathy from anyone in this house. With a casual yet suppressing voice she spoke, "SPEAK, what grand reasons you had to conceal such a thing from me?"

"You should sit down first, you are not fully recovered. I will take a while." Nora could sense that her friend was feeling uneasy, so she suggested.

She didn’t say anything this time and took a seat at the couch waiting for Nora to start.

Nora was nervous; she kept on scratching her finger tips with her edgy nails. She took a seat near Myra, as she started, "Ehem ..... Myra. How should I tell you this? Ummm ..... I know why you are so upset."

Myra interrupted, "Stop with this and just get to the point." She was cold and ruthless.

Nora became silent; she has never seen this side of her friend, never, at least not towards her. She inhaled and exhaled a long breath and composed herself, "My brothers, they are not an animal. But they are, they are werewolves."

Myra eyebrows raised and she frowned simultaneously. Something strikes within her memory. The book, the children’s book she thought was a joke about werewolves’ origin and history. ’So, it was all true?’ Her eyes widened in astonishment. She fired back with a question, "Since when have you known this?"

Nora answered in a small voice, "Since a long time ago." freewēbnoveℓ.com

Myra pupil dilated, "You knew this from the start?"

"Ummhmm" Nora gulped. "It is not just my two elder brothers that are werewolves, but~," She paused, her hands shaking. She gripped them together tightly.

Myra was looking at Nora’s facial expression and she knew that there was more she had not known. Her hand too tightened in a fist.

"But~, my whole family is from the werewolf kind"
