Mated To My Best Friend's Lycan Alpha Brothers-Chapter 97: Inside The Study Room

(Author’s POV)

As soon as the door of the elevator shut, Myra leaned backwards the pain in her spinal area was sudden elevated. She looked at Nora’s hunched figure and pursed her lips.

Honestly, she was feeling a tad bit guilty for how she was treating her childhood friend. Because according to Myra, it may not be real for the other party but for her, the moments she has lived with Nora were blessing sent by the heaven itself.

Despite having a family, Myra was too much attached to Nora. After all, they have endured those harsh toddler years together and always stick through thick and thins. Unknowingly, she was clenching her hands on the side, her nails digging in her palms. ’Nooooo, don’t feel sorry for her, Myra. She has wronged you badly. You thought of her as family and she concealed such a big truth from you. She took advantage of your love for her, care for her. Don’t fall for the act. Maybe, she is still hiding something, who knows.’ Myra kept reminding herself. It was because Nora was family to her; she was hurt by the betrayal brutally.

Nora’s eyes were closed; she was too scared to even turn around and look at Myra. Her shoulders were drooped and her back was slightly bent, showcasing her dejected state of mind.

She kept on praying to the moon goddess, ’Please, Goddess of the Moon, I beg of you, do some miracle. I do not want to lose my only friend in this world. I will do anything, anything in power, to make up for my mistakes. Please, help me, help me this once moon goddess.’

Aura, who too was listening to her companion’s desperate pleading, was heartbroken, she was shattered.

She, alongside Nora, had a special bond with Myra, though the latter didn’t even know of her existence up till now. She has seen it all, how Myra took care of Nora when her adoptive parents weren’t there for her. Myra was the one who fully supported Nora in each and every decision of her life. She stood like a rock by her side. She was with her at every curve of her life.

Despite, Aura being a powerful and imposing Lycan in the werewolf world, she was frightened by the mere thought of losing Myra and the priceless bond. She has always perceived that her, Nora and Myra were somehow tied up with some invisible fragment, not romantically though, but still there was a connection among the three of them. So, she was unwilling to part with Myra.

Soon, the elevator stopped and with a ding sound, the door opened for the ground floor. In utter silence, the two girls walked out, Nora leading the way, while Myra keeping her distance but trailed behind her.

Myra observed the normally bustling living room was empty with no servants in sight. But after some thought, she ignored it and steeled herself for what was about to come. She tilted her head slightly upwards, raising her chin and walked with confidence.

Nora abruptly halted her steps in front of a vast wooden door and mumbled in a whispering voice, "Here we are." She then knocked on the door and a voice came from inside, "You may come in."

Nora glanced towards Myra, who took a deep and long breath, as if preparing for a battled field, and it really was one.

Inside that room, were the people who have deceived her for whole two weeks. She has lived with them under the same roof, shared plenty of meals with them on the same table, spent time with them and been intimate with two of those werewolves. That thought, now, was extremely repulsive for her. She was torn by how insincerely this family has treated her.

Nora tilted the door knob and held it for Myra. They both made their way inside the vast and expansive study owned by Noah and Sara, the Lycan King and Luna.

The study room was nothing short of a library which was straight out of a movie, with endless books and scriptures adorning the long white castle like walls. There was even a staircase which led to a second floor. The dim light coming from the glass chandelier was penetrating the wooden table settled just below it. The fire place was lit up trying to give the cold atmosphere a warm vibe.

Small and medium ambient lightings were inserted to highlight the book sections and two sets of maroon colored couches with their small chairs were adjusted beautifully. The aesthetics of that place was on the more traditional and conventional side.

Noah Everests, who was settled in his chair behind his work table, had his chin rested on his hand. Sara, on the other hand was seated on the couch, as she asked Myra, "Have a seat, Myra." Her words were affectionate as always but this time Myra didn’t felt any warmth from it.

She coldly and confidently took a seat at the empty couch and looked straight. Apart from Brave, every member of the Everests family was in the room. Elio was standing just behind his mother and his face was full of regret and unspoken sorrow. But he didn’t avoid Myra’s eyes like his twin sister, he knew what they did to her was wrong and what Myra felt was justifiable. The rage within her was what he expected and he was ready for it.

Dion was sitting in the one person sofa; his mouth was pressed in a thin line. The guy, who was normally quite chill and relaxed in most of the situation, was now anxious and nervous hellishly. He kept on pulling at his finger joints which made a loud and cracking sound in the empty room.

And Alaric, what can we say about him. He was the most relaxed of all the Everests, settled in a rocking chair and swaying back and forth calmly. He was just in her line of sight and it was distracting and very annoying for Myra, to see him like that. She wanted to rip that good mood of his.

Noah noticed Myra’s creased face and looked at where she was looking. In his usually commanding and imposing demeanor, he delivered his words, "Alaric Everests, you are an Alpha, so stop being disrespectful."

Alaric took his father’s remark very casually, feigning innocence, "What did I do to be disrespectful, father? I am just simply sitting here."

Noah gave him an intense side eye. Alaric smug smile faltered and he got up and took a seat beside Sara.

Nora wanted to sit beside Myra but didn’t have enough courage, so she was awkwardly standing beside the almost empty couch. Myra glanced her way but didn’t comment. After a long and silent period, Dion gestured for Nora to take the seat adjacent to him.

So, now all the Everests present in the study room, were in Myra’s vision. She could clearly see the faces of the people who backstabbed her continuously; they all were nothing but some double crossers in Myra’s mind. ƒreewebɳovel.com

She looked at them with a steady and firm gaze, trying not to show on her face that how tensed she was from inside, her throat was parched and itchy.

Anyways, now that everyone was settled in their respective places, Noah started. He looked straight at Myra and uttered, "Ms. Miracle, we called you here to discuss something of extreme importance. Thank you for joining us."

Myra glanced his way but did not interrupt; she wanted to hear what the ’head of the betrayers’ had to say. He continued, "Now that you have already known our identities and origin from the unfortunate incident that occurred last night, we won’t keep anything from you, Ms. Miracle. I, Noah Moana Everests, am the Lycan King of our pack, the Moon Shine pack. My wife, Sara Smith/Everests, is my Luna and the mother of all the people living in this pack. We are half humans and half wolves, werewolves. My son, Alaric Everests, is a Lycan Alpha prince and is named the next in line for my throne."

Myra watched Alaric who had a defiant and arrogant expression. She shrugged off him and then looked back at Noah who continued further, "My third and fourth sons, Dion Everests and Elio Everests, they too are Lycan Alpha princes, and governs our packs alongside their brother. My youngest child, whom you know as your childhood friend, is the only Lycan princess in this world."

Myra gave a sidelong glance at Nora, thinking, ’A friend? No, she is just a princess now. Not my friend. This girl has never been my friend.’

Nora caved in some more, tilting her head at the other side. Myra scoffed at her reaction, ’What? You can’t even look at me now? Coward.’

Noah stood up from his chair and walked slowly as he said, "And at last, my eldest son, Brave Everests, who is not present in this room, he just like his other siblings is a Lycan prince. Ms. Miracle, you may feel that we deceived you intentionally but that was never the case. I can understand your anger and how betrayed you must be feeling. Trust, when trust is broken, it is extremely hard to mend that trust. Especially if it is shattered by a close ally. Ms. Miracle, I will make no excuse or deny anything, I take full responsibility of the actions of me and my family. But what I am about to tell you, you should listen to it and then decide, on how you want to handle things. Can you do this much?"
