Mated To My Best Friend's Lycan Alpha Brothers-Chapter 157: I Will Take It From Here

(Author’s POV)

"You can leave now. I am capable enough to manage on my own," Myra stopped Alaric’s advances to help her. She didn’t wanted him anywhere near her.

"Do you have be so stubborn, all the time, huhh? Your injuries are serious. They will flare up," he countered back with an argument of his own when he saw her limping as she moved.

"And do you have to be disrespectful, like always? I said, I can manage on my own," Myra shot back without looking towards him. As she took small and careful steps. She grunted in pain but she didn’t want the help of an enemy.

In her mind, Myra still thought that all of this was Alaric’s doing and now he is just trying to overcompensate.

Alaric’s eyes darted to her face, which had a scrunched expression and then shifted to her feet, which was clearly, visibly screaming in pain, although it was thoroughly bandaged.

Rubbing his temples, he sighed heavily as he got closer to her. Then, without any prior warning, he swept Myra in his arms and carried her in princess hold.

He didn’t look at her first because he already knew her facial expression. It was ugly and one filled with anger.

Then he said these words, "Take it as I am repenting for my rude ass behavior, I have shown you all this while." He then gazed at her, his sapphires boring into her hazels, trying to showcase his sincerity towards her.

Myra was in no mood to play this game. She protested, "Put me down, now. Or I will scream and call the hospital staff."

But Alaric didn’t budge, instead he started laughing, his shoulders vibrating, "You can do that. Sure, go ahead. But you know what, this room is a VVIP room and has the best soundproofing walls and door attached. No one’s going to hear you."

"You~ ... you are utterly irritating," Myra mumbled while grinding her teeth, seething at his audacity.

He loosened his grip on her slightly. Myra thought she was about to fall as she clutched his neck tightly to secure herself.

Alaric was amused as he teased her and said, "Look, I am not here to disturb you. Until you go back to Damona, you are my responsibility. Whether you like it or not. Just let me help, it is just for one day. You don’t want your stay to extend right? So, stop torturing yourself because of your dislike for me and let me do my part."

Myra was already tired from his rambling alone. Her mind started spinning again as she gritted her teeth but didn’t say anything more.

Alaric took it as she has complied with his request and gave a genuinely, sweet smile.

Myra looked at him with a dazed expression, then commented frustratingly, "What are you smile at? Just take me to the bathroom door."

Alaric didn’t notice that he was smiling at her. He was taken aback by her words and immediately changed his expression to a rather serious one. He then obliged with her words and took her to the bathroom door and released her.

She then ordered him, "You go out now."

Alaric looked at her, "Not again."

"GET OUT, ALARIC EVERESTS. I need to pee. Get the fucking hell out at once," she was pissed how easily he was crossing the boundary. She was kind of embarrassed.

Alaric who was about to argue, shut his mouth and pressed his lips in a thin line. He then turned and left, leaving these words, "Just say my name and I will come. Don’t try to do what you did earlier. I am just around the corner, making a call."

He showed her his phone and departed, shutting the door softly.

Myra kept looking at the closed door. She was getting goosebumps by his flipped behavior. The feeling was the one she couldn’t even describe in mere few words.

For once, Alaric was acting decently around her and her suspicion only grew more by its absurdity. That guy, since day one, after their first encounter in his bed, has always shown how much he despised her because she was a human and from humble background. Only once had they talk had a normal conversation. And that was inside the car, after she bought those gifts for the Everests.

She thought, neither her origin nor her family status had changed but his behavior had taken a one eighty-degree turn. He was trying to be helpful and considerate. Though, his narcissistic tendencies didn’t change but the shift was obvious.

Myra then shook her head and chalked it all down as his attempt to gain her trust. She felt he was trying to make her stay for Brave by acting all sweet because his earlier tactic to threaten had failed badly.

Her thoughts were all jumbled up and in a complete mess, as she made her way inside the bathroom to freshen up, her movements slow and careful.

Alaric walked to some distance as he made his way towards the open balcony area. He mind linked Elio, asking about Brave’s progress, "Elio, has Brave woken up yet?"

Elio who has spent the night observing Brave, had just returned to his room and wanted to sleep for an hour or two. He was dead tired after all the emotional and physical turmoil.

When he heard Alaric’s voice inside his head, echoing, he asked, "Hmm?"

"Wake up, sleepy head," Alaric’s voice buzzed.

Elio shot up at once, his eyes barely open, "Bro Al, umm~ .... uhhhh~ ... what, what did you say?" He hadn’t rest properly since the human child poisoning incident. So, when he made sure that Brave’s condition was fine and Ethan and Lana were already there, he wanted to catch up on some sleep.

"Brave, has he shown any signs of waking up soon?" Alaric questioned him again.

"Bro Brave, he is doing fine but is still unconscious. Why .... Why are you not checking up on him? Are you not at home?" Elio uttered perplexed.

Alaric paused, then made an excuse, "I am at the office, doing pending work."

Elio nodded, rubbing his groggy eyes.

Then Alaric inquired about the main point he had mind linked Elio for, his voice casual, "Has the Elders departed yet?"

Though he hadn’t encountered them yesterday. He could feel their presence inside the pack house. So, he knew they have stayed.

"The Elders? No ...... surprisingly, they are still here. By the way, only Elder Clement Sanders and Elder Maximus Corbin came yesterday," Elio told him truthfully.

"Oh, so Eleanor Moore didn’t come then? Has they talked to mother and father about ... about that matter?" Alaric asked calmly, but his body language said otherwise as his eyes narrowed.

"As soon as they came, mom and dad brought them straight to their office. They must have talked about it. Although, I don’t know the details. Neither mother nor father has said anything about it?" As Elio completed his words, his mood soured a bit.

The matter they came here to discuss was the one he didn’t want it to be true.

The first girl he genuinely liked, with all his heart and soul if she turns out to be his older brother’s fated. It would be truly heart wrenching scenario for him.

He had been thinking about it all night. His head was pounding by now.

"Okay, if there is any update, let me know as soon as possible. You should rest now," Alaric muttered.

"Ummhmm~ I will," Elio replied and the mind link disconnected.

But when Elio closed his eyes again, sleep didn’t come to him. The thoughts he had barely suppressed were now flaring again. He rolled to his left and then to his right but Myra’s face, her smile, her frown, every little thing about her, consumed his inner thoughts.

His wolf, Leo has been silent since Myra has left, he was sulking, probably mourning, hardly saying anything. Neither he nor Leo knew why they felt such heart break over Myra. It was as if, as if she was their true mate. But that was not possible, right?

At the hospital, Myra came out of the bathroom and wanted to go out to get some fresh air. She was feeling suffocating inside those damned white walls. Although, her condition wouldn’t allow her to stroll outside, she was desperate.

Like her stubborn self, she was about to go out when the nurse opened the door and came in.

She saw Myra standing awkwardly inside the room and said sternly, "You are not allowed to do that Ms. Miracle."

Myra felt guilty and said meekly, "I just wanted some fresh air."

The nurse understood and came close to her. She helped her get to her bed and said, "Wait here, I will bring a wheelchair over."

Myra nodded and the nurse rushed out quickly. Within two minutes, she came with a folded wheelchair and settled Myra in it. She then wheeled Myra out and kept on blabbering about the hospital’s scenery and garden and which department was where.

Myra absent minded nodded as they turned around a corner, she saw Alaric with his eyes darker. His side profile was captivating, enough to make any girl dream about him.

Alaric shifted his head, feeling her presence and rushed towards her with an oddly concerned look. He stood in front of Myra and said, "I will take it from here."

The nurse didn’t dare to refuse but she looked at Myra and once she was convinced Myra wasn’t objecting like yesterday, she let go of the wheelchair and Alaric took her place, saying, "Let’s go."
