Mated To My Best Friend's Lycan Alpha Brothers-Chapter 95: Nothing Is Fine

(Author’s POV)

Alex rolled his eyes at Alaric, ’Our mate is a just and kind human, inside and out. That is why she is giving us, Everests, a chance to redeem ourselves, got it? You, Al, you better watch what you say to her from now on. I swear if you try to overstep that line again, I will not be as kind as our mate is.’

Alaric mumbled, ’Stupid wolf, I am the next Lycan King and you are threatening ’me’. Hahaha, this is so damn insane, just how crazy you are. We never had any difference but ever since she came to live in the pack house and into our lives, my own wolf is warning me. When did you become so pathetic, Alex.’

Alex countered, his reply was sarcastic, ’And without me, you will not be the next Lycan King, so watch out that loud mouth of yours. And for your ’kind’ information, it is not me who is behaving distanced, but it is you, who is letting your own pride get in the way of seeing things clearly. You are the one that is being unkind.’ Alex kept emphasizing on the word ’kind’, which pissed Alaric more.

Alaric didn’t wanted to talk to his wolf any further because it was making him angrier, so he shoved him back inside his consciousness. Alex’s rambling was annoying for him.

Myra, who had already agreed to go to the study, asked all of them, "I need to change and pack my bags. Can you all just get lost from this room?" Her words were cut throat and blatant. She doesn’t wanted to play the nice guy anymore. ’Whatever they say, whatever they tell me, my answer will still remain the same. I can’t forgive any of them and I won’t. Nobody in this palace can force me. Today I will go back to Damona, by hook or crook.’

The boys stepped out of her room, leaving Nora and Myra alone. Myra didn’t move an inch, she asked Nora, her words were blunt, "Why are you still here?"

Nora hesitated with her words, as she fumbled, "I just ..... I just wanted to say ... thank .... you for agreeing and I am really sorry for everything," saying this, she walked out of the room with long strides.

As soon as the door closed, Myra lost all the strength in her legs as she crouched on the floor. She inhaled and exhaled long and even breaths to calm herself down. Her back was in a bad shape and so was her entire body, it was aching badly. Last night’s event had taken a toll on her already fragile figure. And now the mental trauma she had suffered has only heightened her fears.

Her head was buried between her knees and her eyes were filled with fresh tears. ’Nora, you have really done it this time. You have really wounded our friendship. There is no turning back from this, there can’t be. Everything, every single thing was a lie.’

Suddenly, her head shot up as she realized, ’Now I understand why, when I first encountered Alaric in his room, he called himself an Alpha and that book from the shelf and those weird dreams I kept having since my arrival, everything makes sense now. Those weird noises, the wolf design on the brooch, the signs were always in front of me. Hahh, they all are a bunch of wolves in human skin, pompously vicious beings. I cannot stay in this place. Once this meeting is done, I am out of here. Mom, Dad, Wendy, I want to come back to Damona.’

Just then, her phone buzzed and chimed. She searched to find where the tune was coming from; it was on the bedside table. With great difficulty, she got up as little whimpers escaped from her lips. Her eyes creased but she made her way towards her phone and when she saw who was calling, more tears started falling from her eyes as they trailed down her cheeks and rested on her chin. It was a call from Sandra Miracle, her mother.

Myra didn’t pick up her call neither did she deny it. When the line got disconnected she patted on her heart murmuring, "Calm down Myra. Let’s not make mom worry, hmmm." But her tears were nearly uncontrollable. The phone buzzed two more times.

After giving herself a good five minutes time to relax, her chaotic nerves eased a bit and she called back. On the third ring, the call was answered, "Hello, Myra baby, why didn’t you answer my calls?"

With a hoarse voice, Myra cleared her throat and spoke, "Ehem .... aaaaa ..... I was inside the bathroom ..... Mum."

Sandra caught the slight trembling in her voice as she stiffened, her words full of worry, "My baby, what happened to you? Why do you sound like that? Is everything okay there? Did something happen?"

Myra pressed her mouth tightly, stifling her sobs, ’Mom, nothing is fine here, nothing. This place is~, this place is full of wild animals. It is horrible. They all are beasts, mom. And one of them even tried to~ he even tried to kill me with his enormous animal body. They call themselves werewolves, mom but they are nothing but monsters. And Nora, the one I thought was my friend, she lied to me; she is also one of them. MOM, I WANT TO COME HOME, I JUST WANT TO COME HOME AND HUG YOU.’

Myra’s mind was jammed packed with such thoughts. She wanted to scream and yell, but in the end she only replied, "No~thing, I just, I just caught a bit of cold here. I miss you Mom. I miss you and your food."

"Are you sure, it is just that? I think it is more than just a cold? Did you see a doctor?" Sandra was worried, she knew her daughter well. It was one of Myra’s habits to down play her injuries as well as her health in order not to worry others. So, Sandra was always sharp on the intake.

"It really is. Don’t worry, mom. Ummm, why did you call me so early in the morning?" Myra tried to shift the topic.

"You told me, that your flight was for today. So, I was just checking up. If you are not feeling well, don’t travel today. You have that~, that. What did you kids call it, acro~, acropho~, right acrophobia, yeah that too. It will only make things worse, okay baby?" Sandra’s concerned was evident.

But Myra instantly refused, her voice a tad bit high and shrilled, "NOO, I will not stay here."

Sandra’s eyes widened and then narrowed at the unusual tone Myra was speaking in today.

Myra adjusted her tone, adding, "It’s just that, I miss home, mom. I miss you. I miss dad and Wendy. No matter what, I will come back today. The morning flight, the flight that I book earlier was cancelled so now I have booked a new one which will depart in the afternoon. So, I will come back today and we will have dinner together, you, me, dad and Wendy, all of us."

Sandra smiled, a teardrop sat still at the corner of her eyes, "I miss you too my baby. I will make all of your favorite dishes. And I will ask William to leave work early."

"Okay mom. Ummmmm .... I need to pack the remaining stuff. So, I will talk to you later, okay. Ummm ... bye mom," Myra uttered.

"Don’t forget to call me when your plane departs, bye bye my child." Sandra reminded her.

"I will not forget," and with that Myra disconnected the call. As soon as the call was cut, she was having a guilty conscience. She really hated people who were untruthful and now she was the one who was always telling lies. ’Maybe, it is because of this household and those who are living here, their dishonest habits are rubbing off of me.’

Myra made her way to the bathroom to freshen up, splashing cold water after cold water on her now swollen eyes, quite harshly. She looked herself in the mirror, her expression was gaunt and hollow in the reflection, as she kept rubbing her eyes roughly. ’I can’t be weak now. Hold yourself properly, Myra. Let’s do this. Let’s confront them all at once and get out of this messy place and never come back.’

With a clear determination and new spirit, she changed her clothes, packed her remaining stuff and unpacked all the things she has received from the Everests.

One by one, she started taking out the items she received. The emerald studded Bvlgari watch which she got from Nora’s parents, the butterfly diamonds studs from Dion, the Birkin bag which Alaric gave her and the custom cashmere scarf given to her by Elio. She took them out and set them aside properly.

Then, Myra felt around her neck and the gold and pearl infinity neck piece she got from Nora was sitting there.

She ripped it off her neck, leaving some harsh chain marks on her skin but she didn’t care. Glancing at all the ’gifts’ the Everests gave her, a very sad and sarcastic laugh escaped her mouth, "Hahahaha, and I thought why would they give ’me’ such extravagant presents. Turns out, they are no gifts, but bribes. They wanted to put these shackles around my feet, so that I would always feel burdened and bend my back towards them. But sorry to break it to you, YOU GUYS HAVE MESSED WITH THE WRONG PERSON. I am not someone whom you can buy."
