Chapter 60
(Author’s POV)
“It’s time I come clean with Myra about what we truly are. She needs to know about my, no, not just my but about our existence, our kinds’ existence. I’ll bear all the brunt of her anger and all the consequences which will come with it but I can’t conceal ’this truth’ any further. She has every damn right in the world to know that we aren’t humans but werewolves. That, her long time friend and her family are Lycan descendants.” Nora voiced with utmost determination.
All the brothers were stumped by the abrupt declaration of Nora. Yes, they knew, they knew they have to come clean about it someday but as Myra was totally clueless about their identity, it was surely a difficult task ahead of them.
They all looked at Myra’s peaceful sleeping face with mixed emotions. A sigh escaped Elio’s mouth.
Dion muttered, “Do you have something in mind, how you’ll tell her? What’s the plan p>
“As of now, NO” Nora sounded a bit discouraged, not able to answer Dion’s question. Alaric took her already healed hands in his, comforting her, “We’ll think of something. Don’t take pressure on yourself, umm p>
Nora only nodded at his words with sigh full of tiredness. And everybody’s own mental battle started from there on.
The drive back to mansion was not tranquil but still it was eerily quiet in the car.
Reaching the pack house’s main gate Nora nudged Myra who was the only one sleeping placidly, “Myra, wake up. We’re back home p>
With an “Ohh” sound Myra opened her eyes and looked at her surroundings, they really were back at the ’royal palace p>
When they all went inside, Sara was discussing something with Dr. Andrew in the living room, “Ohhh Good Morning kids, how your overnight trip was? Did you girls like it p>
“It was nice” Nora replied with a bit of laziness which worried Sara deeply.
Sara asked, “Why do you sound so down, everything okay sweetie? Did something bad happen p>
Before Nora could answer back, Elio cut in, “Myra fell in the hot springs and caught a fever last night p>
Sara’s eyes widened, “Ohhh My Goddess, What were you guys even there for? Playing games? Can’t you even take care of someone properly, huhh? What’s the use of having so many of you boys, you cannot even take care of the girls” she bashed everyone with an authoritative tone, like a true Luna. For the very first time Myra saw Sara being harsh or angry on someone.
No one dared to confront or argue with Sara; after all they were careless last night. It was their responsibility to see to it that nothing bad happens, but in a way they failed which was shameful for any wolf, barring they were the Lycans as well.
Myra tried to cool down Sara’s temper, “Mrs. Everests, I slipped and fell on my own. It isn’t anybody’s fault but mine.” Although Myra didn’t like any of them, but she couldn’t stand seeing them being accused of what they haven’t even done, it was unfair in her eyes.
Sara came close to Myra and checked her face first to ensure she was all okay. After conforming, she held her hands, “Myra, I know you are a good girl but you were their responsibility and their duty was to look out for you, but these rascals messed it up. I am so disappointed in you boys. Come sit her Myra. Dr. Andrew check on her.” Sara’s tone was gentle but stern.
Myra didn’t say anything on that and let Andrew do the normal examination, “Although, her fever had abated she still needs a full days rest. Ms. Miracle, you need to be careful with your health. You are getting injured every now and then and now this? Speaking of injury, is your previously injured foot still bothering you p>
“It sometimes feel a bit uncomfortable and last night inside the water it kinda jammed” Myra stated truthfully.
Sara glared at everyone who was standing with her sharp and piercing dark blue eyes listening to Myra’s words. She was truly livid at her sons.
Dr. Andrew touched Myra’s ankle ever so slight and she felt a bit of a discomfort, “Ms. Miracle, please don’t just put pressure on this foot. Ankle injuries may seem that they are all good and healed up but it is not always the case. The tissues in this area are sensitive and it will only hinder the progress of it getting better” he lectured her, his professional ethics kicking in.
“I understand Dr. Andrew” Myra quietly muttered, obeying his words like a good student.
After checking up on Myra, Dr. Andrew exited the mansion.
“Nora come sit, and you all lot, what are you even doing standing here? Waiting for more humiliation, huhhh? Go to your rooms right now, freshen up, eat breakfast and go to your respective jobs or whatever. I don’t want any of you in this house within half an hour. OUT.” Sara sneered at them, yelling.
With guilt and shame, they all dispersed leaving the three ladies alone. Myra again tried to soothe things, “Ma’am, I am totally fine. The guys even helped with the CPR and also~” she paused, blushing. “Also~ checked on me all night. Please don’t strain your relationship with them because of me p>
“Myra dear, am I not your god mother, I am right. I know I am being harsh on them but they all know what they have done wrong and will reflect on themselves. Everything has consequences. Anyways, did you guys watch the sunrise?” Sara asked with anticipation.
Nora replied, “Yeah, we did. We even took pictures of it. Let me show you. Beautiful right p>
“This is nice, I’m glad you guys enjoyed it. But~” Sara creased her brows. “Where’s Brave? Why isn’t he in the frame p>
Nora’s eyes narrowed at her question, “Mom, didn’t Brother Brave come home yet p>
“What are you talking about? He left with you guys yesterday and hasn’t come back since” Sara replied puzzled, “Did something happen? Why is he not with you p>
Nora hesitated with her words, as she didn’t want to explain last night’s event. She knew that it would only disappoint and sadden Sara, “He~, he p>
Before she could say anything, Noah came with his authoritative and graceful steps, buttoning his diamond cufflinks, “Alaric told me, Brave returned to the office last night, and has been since there, working on something important p>
“Okay” Sara only hummed. “Honey, girls, come, let’s have breakfast p>
“Nahhhh maa. I reek of alcohol right now, so I’ll be bathing first. Myra, you coming or will you join them?” Nora inquired casually.
“Ma’am, I also would like to bath first. The fever has made me all sticky. You guys go on, don’t wait for us, please” Myra answered in a polite manner.
Sara gestured a “if you say so” and both her and Noah made their way to the dining hall. But before departing, she turned and said, “It’s not ma’am, it’s either Sara or aunty, okay dear p>
Myra nodded at her words and then the couple made their way towards the lavish dining hall.
“Is your foot still aching?” Nora queried.
“A bit, but it’s bearable” Myra shrugged off casually.
“Don’t, let me help you” Nora extended her hands and supported Myra.
While walking, Myra laughed a little.
“What’s got you laughing, huhh?” Nora questioned.
“Nothing was just thinking, Dr. Andrew’s words seem right. Ever since I came here, I have been getting injured or something happens. I guess this place is not suiting me” Myra said while a stifle totally unaware but her words didn’t make Nora laugh, not even a bit.
