Mated To My Best Friend's Lycan Alpha Brothers-Chapter 137: The Real Reason

(Author’s POV)

Hearing Sara’s words, Myra immediately remembered the gigantic and barbaric wolf form of Brave, running after her, trying to catch her. Her breath hitched and it made her skin crawl. Raw’s ink black mammoth figure was terrifying to her, she could feel goosebumps all over her body, she was trembling.

She clenched her fists hard enough to get a hold of herself. Her nails were digging inside her palms, ’Calm down and answer her.’ She took deep and long breath, looked at Nora’s parents and replied trying to sound composed, "Yes, I do remember. But, why are you asking me that?" She had an odd feeling about this.

Although, it was a complicated matter to explain but Sara had to tell Myra. She started, "For us, werewolves, the word ’mate’ possesses a deep meaning. A mate is a life partner chosen by the moon goddess, herself, our fated companion." Myra narrowed her eyes. Sara said, "You must be very confused as to why I am telling you all this, right?"

Myra nodded.

"I am sure that Brave must have called you his mate mistakenly because it is nearly impossible. There has been no such case recorded, where a human and a werewolf were fated mates. But .... but for you and for Brave as well, we would still like to confirm it from him," Sara dropped the bombshell.

Myra knew about the mate and mate bond thing, as she has already read it in the book. But at that time, she didn’t take it seriously, she took it as a children’s book, a mere prank played by Alaric and his brothers. But when Sara explained with a serious look on her face, she was left stunned.

She though it was a joke, a prank at most. But all of a sudden, something struck her as she remembered, ’Didn’t Alaric, Dion and Elio called me with that word.’ The flashback of each of them calling her their mate struck her hard. Her eyes widened in shock as she realized it something.

She looked at all three of them with disbelief, ’It can’t be true. It is just as Sara said, it is a mistake or it is just prank played by them. There is no possibility, no way.’

"I am not his mate, ma’am. I assure you," Myra spoke out loudly, more to herself then to others. Her tone was more like a shriek.

Sara agreed with her, "I also think that but ...... if by any chance ... you happen to be~ ...... you happen to be his mate. Then~ we need to discuss about that."

"It’s for your own safety, Ms. Miracle," Noah added.

"My safety? What do you mean? Are you threatening me?" Myra asked with a frown.

"No, I am not threatening you. It’s just that, if you are somehow my son’s fated mate, then our enemies will come after you. It has happened before. We don’t want to take any risks this time," Noah clarified his stance.

Myra was fear stricken to hear all this. She murmured, her voice low, "I need some time to think, ... alone.’

Noah as well as Sara nodded in understanding, "We understand, this is overwhelming for you. Take your time. We will wait for your decision."

Myra turned around and this time she didn’t stop and got out of the room. Her face was a bit pale and she felt a little dizzy. But she didn’t halt her steps and somehow made her way back to her room.

Nora wanted to follow her, she too was distressed to see Myra’s state but Sara stopped her, "Don’t go. She wants to be alone. We should respect that and give her some space." Nora understood her mother’s words but she was still anxious of her best friend’s wellbeing.

Elio got up and patted Nora’s shoulders, "She will be fine. She just needs privacy. We can’t rush with these things. She will choose what’s best for her." He then said, "I will go check on Brother Brave." His mind was already muddled up with conflicting thoughts.

He got out of the room and walked aimlessly for a bit, ’Can she be ... no, no way. It’s definitely a mistake. Brother Brave must have mistaken her for Hannah. After all, he was gravely injured and wasn’t in his right mind. But .... Was if ..... he and Myra are ..... what if it is true? What if she is his second chance mate? What will happen to her? Or my brother? What will happen to us?’ These thoughts were squeezing his heart and making him breathless. He didn’t know that Myra was his mate too, but he still liked her so much so that it was difficult to accept her as his brother’s mate. He was torn by these lingering thoughts.

"I will also be taking my leaving now," Dion walked out quietly and returned to his room. As soon as the door shut, he slammed his hand on the side wall as blood started trickling down from his knuckles. He was agitated by everything he had learned today. From his mother and father’s struggles to everything that went down the road. But what irritated him the most was Myra and Brave’s mate bond. Unlike Elio, he was quite clear that he was Myra’s mate. This feeling, he had never felt such a thing before with any other of his flings. And trust me, he had many, but he didn’t feel any connection with either of them. He was mostly certain that he and Myra were mates. And wanted to talk about it to his parents, but now how the things have escalated and taken a turn, he didn’t know what to do, what to make of it.

Nora too left the study room with her shoulders slumped. She returned back to her room and thought of all the things that had happened and what her parents had told them today. She never knew that someone deliberately kidnapped her. She always thought that it was just a trafficking incident. ’And what about that other girl, who was abducted with me? Where is she now?’ Her head was bursting with such thoughts. Also, there was the matter of Myra. Eventually, she hadn’t forgiven her although she did accept her family’s real identity.

Her wolf, Aura, remained silent all along. She hadn’t said much to Nora all day, which made Nora exasperated even more. "Why are you so quiet?"

"I don’t know what more to say," Aura whispered dejectedly.

Inside the study room, Sara and Noah looked at the departing figures of their kids and the conflicting emotions etched on their faces. They didn’t wanted to reveal any of this to them.

Alaric who hadn’t left the room, suddenly spoke, his voice heavy, "Mother, father~."

Both Sara and Noah looked back at him with surprise, "Why are you still here? Do you want to talk about something?"

Alaric paused for a few seconds, looked up and then said with a stern face, "Tell me the real reason?"

"Real reason? What reason? What are you talking about, son?" Sara questioned with a confusing look.

"The real reason why you announced her as your goddess daughter," Alaric stated.

"Umm ... didn’t we told you .... She helped Nora~" Sara said but was interrupted by Alaric.

"Noooooo, tell me, the real reason. I don’t buy it. If making her your goddess daughter was such a powerful thing that even the vow broke, then I don’t believe your reasoning. There must be something else, you guys are concealing, am I right?’ He looked at his parents with a firm gaze.

Both Sara and Noah exchanged glanced as Noah nodded. He sighed and uttered, "Yes and no. We did announce her as our goddess daughter because she was with Nora but~ ... there is one more thing."

Alaric remained silent, waiting for his father to complete his words. "This thing that I am about to tell you, it is just a speculation for now and has not yet been confirmed, so neither me nor your mother said anything about it. I did some secret background check on Ms. Miracle as well as the orphanage where both Nora and Ms. Miracle were in. Your sister and Ms. Miracle were registered at the orphanage on the exact same day, you know that much, right?"

"Yes, I am aware of that, father," Alaric replied.

"Surprisingly enough, they were brought to that orphanage on the same day as well as at the same time. And also, Ms. Miracle looks familiar with someone we know, someone from that family. If you know what I mean~" Noah relayed his perspective.

Alaric was a little taken aback, "Soooo, you mean .... That ... that human pea~, I mean, that human girl can be that person? Is that what you want to say, father?"

"Mm~hmm, though, we have our doubts about it. But it can be possible that Ms. Miracle’s is the lost child who was abducted alongside Nora."
