Chapter 43
(Author’s POV)
“I am returning to Damona tonight” Myra’s sudden declaration not only stunned Nora and her parents but also the Everests brothers, including Alaric as well as the ever so aloof Brave.
Myra looked at Nora and then turned towards Sara again, continuing further, “I have been feeling homesick and my mother and father were also missing me. So p>
” MYRA ” Nora cut Myra’s words, “No, no, no, no, no, you are not going back. Not right now. It’s my birthday today, we haven’t celebrated it properly. You haven’t even enjoyed anything here because of your ankle injury. It’s just been a week since you came here. You were going to stay for at least two weeks, right?” Nora kept on babbling, her eyes turning slightly misty. “Is it; is it because of what happened just now at the table? Myra, I am sorry, I am so sorry. I will ask Brother Alaric to apologize to you right now p>
Nora shifted her purplish gold eyes which she inherited from both her parents, now looking straight at Alaric with gritted teeth and a dead pan expression, “Brother Alaric, you have gone too far by upsetting my friend by your wrong choice of words. You owe Myra an apology, RIGHT NOW p>
” Me, apologize to her?” Alaric pointed a finger at Myra. “I am sorry, Nor, you know I can do anything for you but not this time. Even if the moon goddess descends and asks for it, I’ll never apologize to a mere human being. I WILL NEVER DO IT
By this time, Alaric was flaring inside; his own baby sister, whom he cherishes so-so much, was pushing for an apology. ’A Lycan alpha apologizing to a weak human, huh, not happening.’ Alex was also trying to reason with him, interrupting his inner thoughts, ’Alaric, Nora is right. Your words were very harsh towards our mate. Keeping your ego aside, you should just p>
Alaric’s anger intensified at Alex’s words, his own wolf was siding with a human. ’Shut up, I don’t want to hear a word from you about that human peasant, and don’t call her my mate. She’s nothing to me, absolutely nothing. What kind of witchcraft has this girl used to trap all of you?’ He growled inwardly.
Myra held Nora’s hands in hers, distracting her from Alaric, “Nor, I can assure you. It has nothing to do with what happened. Neither, it is just a random decision. I really miss Damona, my parents and Wendy too. I just want to go home.” Myra whispered to her.
Nora was a crying mess by now. Sara, looking at her daughter being heartbroken and emotional, tried to convince Myra, “Myra dear, I know you must be missing your loved ones, but can you not stay a few more days with us? You are just like a daughter to me; I too don’t want to part ways so soon with you p>
A look of panic was quite visible on both Dion and Elio’s face by Myra’s words. They wanted to say a lot to her, they wanted to ask her to change her decision.
Dion thought that it was because of him that Myra wanted to leave earlier than the designated time. His wolf, Drey, was sulking and howling inside him. ’No, Dion. We cannot let Myra leaves us. I don’t know how, but I can feel the mate bond with her, though she’s just a human.’ Drey talked to Dion, urging him to say something. ’If, if somehow, she’s our destined one, that’s all the more reason for not letting her leave. And even if she’s not, I like her a lot, lot more than those insincere tramps p>
Elio was also convinced that something must have occurred to Myra, otherwise why will she try to leave so suddenly. She was fine before the party started.
At first, when Elio tried to recall last night’s events, he couldn’t quite remember anything as he was drunk. Normal liquor couldn’t do anything to wolves but his friends mixed some wolfsbane to his champagne, thus making him drunk.
After careful consideration, his memory jogged down to a vaguely disturbed Myra, avoiding his touch and speaking formally to him. He knew he was missing something important, something very important, but wasn’t able to recall it. His wolf, Leo was desperate and restless inside him. As Elio’s counterpart, he was also not in a right space at that time, his memory hazy because of the wolfsbane.
So, both Elio and Leo forgot about Myra being their mate but as the mate bond was considered a strong feeling which was deeply ingrate after confirming one’s mate existence, there desperation was clear. Elio utter, “Myra, stay with us
All the pleading and crying was making Myra guilty. She knew that it was going to be difficult for her, seeing Nora so in pain. But she was determined to leave and once Myra made any decision she wouldn’t back out. After all, it was for herself, her peace of mind.
Noah, who was silent all throughout the chaotic drama, leaned forward and said ” Silence.” He continued further, calling out to Myra, “Ms. Miracle, I won’t be insisting you if you have concluded to return to your home country. But, I can only request you to wait for a few more days. I’ll arrange a private plane for you.
We, Everests, cannot let our prestigious guest depart so abruptly. If anyone has wronged you or upset you in any way, they will be punished accordingly, even if it is my family, I won’t hesitate.” Noah announced, “The breakfast is over. ALARIC EVERESTS, follow me to the study, NOW. ” He stood up and marched towards the exit elegantly and poised.
Alaric followed suit, walking towards the exit door, he turned 180° and glared at Myra, cursing inwardly, “Myra Miracle, it’s not over yet. I’ll show your true colors to everyone, soon. You are trying to play innocent and sow discord amongst us. I won’t forget it, ever. You’ll have to pay a hefty price for it.’ He turned back and walked out, loosening his beige tie, feeling frustrated.
Brave, was the one who was observing the scene since the beginning. He was a detached person, but when Myra announced that she was returning, he felt a sudden ache.
Ever since, he saw Myra, his mind has been lingering towards her, which made him flustered. He didn’t like that feeling.
At first, Brave dismissed the thought as a mere curiosity. But since midnight, he could feel his wolf, Raw’s presence, though subtle but he did feel his lost wolf. And when Myra walked inside the dining room, something urged him to walk up to her and hold her hands. He didn’t like how Myra looked so gaudy and down.
And when Alaric was spouting venomous words against Myra, his inside were burning up. For the first time in his whole life, he wanted to punch his twin sibling. He couldn’t comprehend what he was feeling. It was a familiar yet a different kind of feeling for him.
Myra didn’t get a chance to counter Noah’s request, as he already left the premises. And, also Noah and Sara have been nothing but kind to her all throughout her stay, so she didn’t wanted to disobey them.
She looked at Nora and sighed, “Okay, since it’s your birthday, I’ll stay but I cannot stay for long p>
Nora didn’t let her complete, she hugged Myra and said, “Ok, ok. I’ll agree to everything you say. Thank you Ra-ra p>
