Mated To My Best Friend's Lycan Alpha Brothers-Chapter 106: I Am In Love With You

(Author’s POV)

"Caiten, don’t worry. We didn’t help Bella and Sara to receive some kind of favors. After all, we are all close friends. So... such talk is not needed here." Greg jabbed at Caiten, maintaining a wide grin on his face.

Bella liked how Greg put Caiten in his place with mere words. She looked at Caiten who had a rather awkward expression with a smug and proud face.

But by Caiten’s mere presence, the dinner or you could say, their double date was already ruined. And he was satisfied by the outcome. ’By no fucking means, I am going to let any other person, much less a human woo what’s mine, my Luna.’ At least that’s what he thought Sara was to him.

Arth soothed his companion, "Noah, one thing is confirmed, that the rumors about Sara’s sole male friend being her ’boyfriend’ are not true. Sara thinks of him, only as a childhood friend and nothing more, at least not, right now. We still have hope. So, let’s not sulk anymore and seize this opportunity in our favor."

Listening to his wolf’s encouragement, Noah didn’t back down. Every now and then, he would strike up a conversation with Sara on any random topic, engaging her. Sara too was happy to indulge him. They were conversing happily.

Caiten wanted to join them and overtake the conversation, but Bella didn’t give him that chance.

She got up saying, "I need to use the restroom" and started walking. A waiter with tray in hands which was filled with piping hot food was walking to the other side. She hurried with her steps and lost her footing in the process, resulting in a collision.

Greg was fast. He had already seen what she was upto and analyzed her plan beforehand. So when Bella bumped with the waiter, he zapped towards her and pulled her hand, embracing her firmly in his grasp.

But this can’t be said for the waiter. He too lost his footing and crashed onto the floor. The food in the tray toppled at the person sitting just ahead, who was none other than Caiten.

His perfectly tailored grey three piece Armani suit was splattered with vibrant red and yellow color now. He got up at once and yelled, "Can’t you see where you are going? Don’t you have eyes?" He lost his composure, unmasking his true self. The waiter was shaking by his commanding presence and tone.

Bella looked at the scene and was a bit regretful. Not because of Caiten because that douchebag deserve it. But when she saw how the waiter was on the floor and shaking, she gulped hard and pulled herself away from Greg’s grasp and helped him.

Seeing this, Sara got up as well. She said, "Caiten relax, will you? He didn’t do it intentionally. It was just an honest mistake," trying to pacify the situation

She was stunned by his reaction. Caiten has never raised his voice in front of her and was always polite and humble towards others, so she was stupefied by his sudden outburst.

Caiten snapped back from raging state, realizing what was happening. In a regretful voice, he uttered, "I am so sorry for losing my temper there. But it is just~ it is just that, this suit is left by my mother to me. So, I wasn’t able to think straight." His tone was filled with guilt.

Sara softened at the mention of Caiten’s mother. His mother, Gloria, adored Sara when she was alive. So, she could understand why Caiten reacted that way.

Caiten knew Sara’s weakness well. He made a pitiful face and kept his head down. Sara patted his shoulder comforting him, "I understand, but don’t be too harsh on others. He didn’t do it on purpose." She then asked the waiter, "Haden right? Are you okay? Did you get hurt anywhere?"

The water shook his head like a wobble figurine. His body was still shaking violently.

She looked at the nervous waiter, assuring him, "Don’t worry, tell me if you are injured somewhere?"

He still didn’t say anything.

Sara was about to ask him to get back to work but Noah interrupted them. He strided forward with confident and decisive steps and pulled up the waiter’s arm revealing a ghastly burn mark with blisters.

Very smoothly, he picked up the ice cubes and applied it gently onto his arm, stating, "This may cause you a bit of discomfort. Try to endure it."

All of them were stunned, except Greg.

As the waiter’s uniform was all black and his arms were covered, they couldn’t tell that he had scalded his arm.

Noah then turned to the manager, who came to their table after the commotion, "You must be having a first aid kit. Bring it for me." The manager obliged to his request at once.

Sara looked at Noah in complete awe. Her eyes were filled with admiration and appreciation for him. She was totally impressed by his observing skills and gentleness towards other people. Her wolf, Moon, was whistling and purring inside her, ’Not just his looks and physique, his personality is just, umm... how should I put it. He is just my type Sara; kind, polite, gentle and with no hint of show off.’

Sara blushed hearing her wolf’s words, as her heart was tingling with an unknown sensation.

Caiten noticed Sara’s expression and gritted his teeth in anger. Now that Noah was standing, he sized him up from head to toe, ’He is not a simple human. I need to get rid of him as soon as possible. Even if it meant, I have to end his life.’

Bella seizing the opportunity turned to Caiten and said, "Cai~cai, You should just go and change. Otherwise, it will be too hard to remove these stains. After all, Aunt Gloria gave you this suit."

Sara agreed with her sister this time, "Yes, Caiten. Bella is right. This suit is a precious gift left by Aunt Gloria, hurry up."

Caiten was dumbfounded. He was now caught up in his own lie. He then excused himself, "I will just be back."

Now that Caiten was not in the picture, Bella and Greg sighed in relief. Now, they could execute their plan to get Noah and Sara closer.

After all that commotion was over, they settled at their table once again. Noah took the seat where Caiten was sitting earlier. And Bella joined Greg, sitting beside him.

Even after fifteen minutes, there was no sign of Caiten. Soon, his call came in, "Ras, I am sorry but I need to return to the pack house. Make sure not to drink and wander around, okay. And call me when you arrive."

The food that they ordered arrived and they all happily enjoyed their meals while chatting. Bella ordered some red wine and urged everyone to drink, to make the mood lighten.

Greg and Bella were tipsy after several drinks and were now flirting openly with each other. Greg was complimenting how sexy she looked in her dress and how he was mesmerized by her beauty. novelbuddy.cσ๓

Bella went with the flow too and touched his muscular arm seductively.

This made Sara and Noah feel a bit awkward, who too were drunk by now.

Noah face was flushed red. He kept on gazing at Sara and smile like a fool. This made Sara, who was the only one slightly sober, nervous.

She asked him, feeling embarrassed, "Is there anything on my face? Why are you looking at me like that, Noah?"

Noah’s eye lids were feeling heavy, as he shook his head repeatedly without saying anything.

"Then why are you gazing at me?" Sara repeated her question.

Noah’s smile deepened even more. He kept a finger on his lips, mumbling, "Sshhhhh, *hiccup* it’s a secret."

Sara batted her eyelashes in confusion and whispered, "Is it a secret? Can’t you tell me? We are friends after all."

Noah leaned forward and whispered near her ears, "If I tell you now, you won’t like me."

Sara was puzzled by his drunken statement. She laughed and assured him, "Noah, you can tell me. I won’t make fun of you. I promise and I won’t tell anyone."

Noah pouted like a child and pretending to think. Sara looked at him and laughed lightly. The way he was acting, Sara found it cute.

Noah then leaned some more, his lips brushing Sara’s earlobe. Her breath hitched and she started feeling jittery.

Noah continued with his deep and slightly hoarse voice, "Promise you won’t dislike me?"

"I promise" Sara reassured him in a gentle tone.

He then beamed radiantly like a toddler and said, "Sara, I~ I don’t like it. I don’t like it when someone calls you with your nickname or hugs you so closely, even if it is your best friend. I don’t want you to look at any other person, but only me. I want you to like me, just the way I like you. I ... LI~KE .... YOU ... SARA .... ALLEN. I AM IN LOVE WITH YOU."
