Chapter 15
(Author’s POV)
After giving instructions to her son, Sara departed for her work, asking Elio and Dion to follow her.
Now only Nora and Myra were left alone in the vast room. Nora sat beside her friend, exclaiming, “You know how damn worried I was when I saw your injured foot, I am so sorry Ra-ra. But my twin brother, Elio, he is the top student in his college. Your ankle is in good hands, he will take care of you well,” Nora said sniffling her nose, a slight glistening in her eyes.
Myra was about to ask Nora, to tell Elio, not to fret too much on Sara words and that she will take care of the proceedings herself but she didn’t say anything when she saw Nora’s moisten eyes. ’If I do object, she will throw a tantrum again and make a fuss p>
“Sooooooo, how was it? The best place, Brother Dion took you to. Did you like it?” Nora asked, looking at Myra with twinkling eyes, her look was expectant.
“Ohhhhhh don’t ask me, it was truly something I have never seen before. I will just say one word” Myra sat up straight and said indulgently.
“And what is that?” Nora perked up at the sudden build up.
“Mesmerizing” Myra replied as she remembered the view from earlier.
“Ahaaaaa, what are you talking about, was the place mesmerizing or was Brother Dion, hahhhh?” Nora probed teasingly as she stuck her tongue out playfully.
“Huhh” puzzlement was quite evident in Myra’s eyes, when she heard teasing Nora’s remark.
“Ayyyyeee, don’t poke fun of me, Nor, otherwise I’ll do this to you,” Myra started tickling Nora.
“Hhahahhahabahhahah. But seriously, tell me how do you feel about ummmmm, Brother Dion? You spent quite a lot of time with him alone in the forest. He even carried you princess style. Did you two, umm umm, hahh?” Nora’s curiosity was at its peak.
“Hey, stop with that erratic thought of yours. He’s your Brother, Nora. We didn’t do anything inappropriate, okay” Myra refuted instantly, thinking back at the moment Dion protected her from falling, his perfume, his perfect abs. Her ears turned beetroot red when the scene flashed in her mind.
“Ohh, don’t tell me you didn’t notice, uhh? Brother Dion was trying to hit on you. He even princess carried you. I know for a fact that he may seem a flirt and playboy, he doesn’t treat other girls or she wo-~, I mean, he doesn’t treat others with such gentleness,” Nora spoke with all serious.
“He is only treating me like this because I am his precious sister’s childhood friend, so don’t make such wild and pompous assumptions. And don’t even tr~y to play a matchmaker as well. You know, I am not interested in these things. I like when nature takes it course,” Myra looked Nora in the eye and spoke her heart out.
“Ok, okay, Ra-ra, I won’t say it but as you said, let nature take its course. Maybe you will find your soul mate soon enough,” Nora replied.
“Ohh, don’t you know? I already have one.” Myra stretched her right eyebrow making Nora curious p>
Nora’s eyes widen in astonishment, she was shocked, “WHAT, Why didn’t ’I’ know that? When did it happen? What the p>
“Twenty years ago, in the orphanage, my diaper buddy, you, Nora Everests, is my one and only soulmate,” Myra chuckled, clicking her tongue playfully in return.
Nora rolled her tongue and then hugged her friend like a large oversized teddy bear, as she laughed, “That’s true p>
Soon, the time for lunch arrived and as per Sara’s instructions, Myra’s lunch was served in her room so she doesn’t have to put any pressure on her foot for the time being.
Myra looked at the dainty dishes in front of her and smiled, all the things were her favorite, smoky eggplant dip with fried rice and garlic bread and some other side dishes complementing the meal, it looked heavenly.
Surely, Nora would have told the chef and she felt touched at this thoughtful gesture. The dishes was not native to Kimberg and mostly dishes like pasta and steak were common in this place. The aroma filled from the food filled her entire room, ’Ummm, This looks sooooo good p>
She sniffled while taking a bite of her lunch, it reminded her of her mother.
As the night falls, every Everests family member made a visit to Myra’s room except one, who was none other than Alaric, Mr. Alpha Complex.
When Noah and Alaric arrived, Nora filled them in with the details about what has occurred in the day. Noah made his way towards Myra’s room. But Alaric didn’t move, staying where he was.
He jested to his wolf Alex, ’Serves her right. How foolish can someone has to be to injure their foot, that too twice? Foolish human p>
’You should check up on her, Al. After all, her ankle injury is related to you somehow, don’t you think that?’ Alex reminded him.
’Don’t utter gibberish, Alex’ he shut his wolf up and shoved him behind his mind.
“Why will a Lycan Alpha, check up on a human, a stupid human at that’ he sneered and took stairs for his room. He didn’t wanted to encounter anyone right now, asking to join them to visit that human. He didn’t wanted to waste his precious time on something so insignificant.
Ever since, the Everests’ got to know that Myra, Nora’s longtime friend was going to come and stay with them for two weeks, everyone was overjoyed, even the strict Noah was fine with it.
Only Alaric didn’t like the idea to live with a human being. He was an Alpha after all and soon to be the Lycan King. His status and mindset made his mind fogged with discrimination. Although, as a future King, his job was to protect his pack which included humans as well, but he didn’t particularly like human beings.
In his eyes, all humans were despicable beings. His own baby sister was kidnapped by a mere human and they couldn’t even trace her back then. The feeling he felt then was heart crushing for him. He was a small child and harbored hatred towards all human kind since then. Apart from not liking the human race, he was a perfect candidate to be an Lycan King.
