Chapter 248
(Brave’s POV)
“Brother Al, don’t worry. I have been training with precautions. Beta Matthew has been overseeing it all and these bruises… they are small injuries which will fade away soon. It doesn’t even hurt,” she casually brushed it off. She then added, “Actually, I have embedded the moon charms with the power. It isn’t much but it will come in handy, if somehow, any of you is in danger. I just hope none of you gets to use it p>
I stared at the red string and the charm, “I will cherish it well p>
She smiled, “Thank you, brother Brave p>
“Can you show us? Your ability. But only if doesn’t do you any harm,” Dion asked being cautious with his words.
All eyes were on Nora, as she licked her lips and closed her eyes, “Okay p>
We all waited patiently as she focused her mind.
Soon, we could hear distinct sound. We all turned our heads to see something, which bewildered each of our minds. The still lake starting making ripples on it own and we could hear the sound of bubbles… *blub- blub*… as the few water droplets started to rise from within the lake. I was truly astonished and spell bounded.
“NORA,” Alaric’s voice shook me out of my dazed state. We all ran towards her as she smiled weakly, “Ahhh~… don’t worry. It is just that, I am not that powerful yet and this is the first time I performed this ability on a large scale waterbody, my legs gave out. I will be fine within few minutes p>
“You shouldn’t push yourself. Take your time. You even instilled your powers in the charms, it would have taken a lot of strength,” Dion was quick to address.
She nodded and asked, “How is it p>
“It was~… it made not just me but all of us stunned,” Elio remarked. “But don’t overdo it from now on. Especially, when we all aren’t going to be here, to look after you p>
“Okay ohk. Stop nagging, Eli,” Nora mumbled. “I won’t, promise. Happy p>
He tousled her hair, entangling and making a mess out of them, “Take care of yourself, umm~. Don’t do something to get hurt p>
“Don’t overexert yourself and faint,” Dion added playfully.
“Make sure to call us, if there is something that troubles you,” Alaric remarked.
“We will fly back in an instant to accompany you, okay,” I uttered.
She looked at all of us, with a faint smile, “I am so glad to have such considerate brothers,” then her eyes turned a bit misty, “Although, it’s only for ten days, I will miss you all dearly p>
“We will miss you too, Ora,” Alaric chimed as he gave her a brief hug. And as if one cue Dion and Elio followed suit. I stood aside as they all were having a group hug, a smile appearing my face, reaching my eyes.
Nora mumbled, “Brother Brave, what are you standing there for. Come, I have a full sibling hug. Don’t be shy p>
On her insistence, I joined them although I felt a bit awkward. But strangely enough, it was comforting as well as reassuring, that our sibling is too strong to over come anything, any obstacle, any problem.
We all pulled back as Dion questioned, “Does mother and father know about your powers yet p>
“Aaa~ Nope. I didn’t tell them yet. I was about to, in the morning, but because of the prowler from last night, I didn’t get the chance,” she told us. “I will tell them when they both are free. I had to give these bracelets to you before your departure, so that’s why I told you all separately p>
“As you wish,” Alaric muttered. “Now let’s go inside. You will need some rest p>
She didn’t say anything more and just nodded in agreement as we all made our way towards the packhouse.

I looked at my wrist watch and the string and then at my luggage as I waited for my brothers in the living. Dion had already arrived and was beside me. Alaric and Elio were still in their rooms doing some last minute packing and getting updates on some office as well warriors who were injured in the confrontation with one of the rogues.
Father, mother and Nora were all present as mother instructed, “Do make sure to eat properly and take care of yourselves. Always watch your backs p>
“We will, mother,” I and Dion spoke, in unison.
“And call me daily,” Nora added. “No, make it two times a day p>
Before I or Dion could reply, the elevator door chimed and Elio’s voice came, “Should we do a twenty four hour live streaming for you sis? What do you say p>
“That would be awesome. Please do,” Nora became overly enthusiastic, mocking Elio.
Alaric smacked Elio’s head and uttered, “Behave, she is just worried for us p>
Elio rubbed the effected part and sounded sulky, “I know~… can’t I even joke around now p>
“Enough with the jokes. Alaric, Brave, Dion and Elio~,” father started his voice firm, imposing and serious.
“Yes, father,” we all answered him together.
“Remember that you are all Everests, descendant of my and your mother’s family. Don’t do anything rash on other’s territory. Always act vigilant and rational. This case, this matter must be sorted but~ father exhaled a weary sigh and said, “But, if someone tried to play any trick or harm you or your brothers. Don’t back down. We are werewolves, Lycans. If they try to hurt you in anyway, give them back tenfold p>
His instructions were loud, crystal clear to all of us, “Yes, father. We won’t disappoint you p>
“Now go,” father uttered, his voice hinting with pride. As he instructed, we said our goodbyes and walked outside the packhouse. Few servants were loading our luggage as Gamma Janet and Beta Matthew, were waiting for us. They would be driving us to the airport.
With a last glance towards the packhouse and my family, I settled inside the car.
“Brothers, be safe,” Nora’s voice echoed as our car zoomed off.
