Chapter 93
(Author’s POV)
“You knew all this, from the start?” Myra was stunned. “So, you are telling me that when you told me you have met your father back in Damona for the first time, you knew about, this, you brothers being were~, were~ whatever? Is what I am hearing correct?” She needed confirmation. She thought she was hallucinating.
“Ummhmm. It is not just my two elder brothers that are werewolves but~. But, my entire family belongs to the werewolf clan”, Nora revealed, her eyes tightly shut and her lips firmly pressed.
Myra was too stupefied to react at first. Her mind boggled at the revelation. ’Even, Sara and Noah are that, enormous werewolves p>
Nora continued, “Myra, werewolves are just like humans. They just have an animal side as their companion. But we are all the same. We breathe the same air, we bleed the same color p>
Myra’s face changed to a straight expression. She then scoffed as she took a jibe at her friend’s comment, ” WE, are not the same, Nora. WE ARE NOT. Are you so blinded by this place and these people that you can’t even see right from wrong, huhhh? I know you are desperate to be with your family. No one knows that better than me. But, but don’t you think what you are saying, makes any sense? Nora Everests, your WEREWOLF brother tried to KILL ME with his ’gigantic COMPANION’, and you, you are saying, he is like me or like you, hahahhahaahahha, that’s insane. That’s absolutely ridiculous, bullshit.” Her laughter echoed, giving Nora the chills, her hair stood on ends.
Myra abruptly stood up from the couch, “I have had enough of this crap. If you are not coming with me, I will have to leave on my own. After all, you are an adult now, Nora Everests and you don’t need such a lowly person like me, to tell you what to do or what not to do. You can take your own life decisions, like you have always done. I get that. But now, I am going to take mine. I AM LEAVING THIS PLACE, TODAY. “
After resting for a bit, Myra’s back ache had subsided a little and she straight away made her way towards the bags that were half packed. Last night before heading for dinner, she had packed some of her stuff but a lot of her essentials and clothes were still unpacked.
Nora eyes were tinged with tears, as she spoke, her voice throaty, “Even If I wanted to, I cannot come with you to Damona.” She took a deep breath, as she revealed her truth to her childhood friend, “Myra, I am one of them. I belong to this place. And just like my family I am~, I am a werewolf too p>
Myra felt dizzy at her words, as she swayed. It was like; she was struck by a thunderbolt.
The friend she has known since the very beginning of her existence, her first family, the one she gave her all to, was a what~ a werewolf? Her heart was ripped by this treachery of Nora. ” HOW COULD YOU, NORA. How in the fucking heck could you do this to me? You are not a human and~ YOU DECEVIED ME, throughout, all this time. Hahahha, and I, just like a damn fool, thought we had no secrets. Our whole twenty years together, fucking twenty years, turned out to be a mere fucking joke, hahahahaha, I am a joke to you.” Myra had completely lost her composure at this time. She was crying and laughing simultaneously, scaring Nora.
Nora was devastated, her heart was torn apart, “Myra, please, don’t~, just don’t say such cruel things to me. I have never taken you as a lower class person or our friendship and lightly; you have been my savior, my soulmate, my fortress. I never wanted to deceive you. I just didn’t know how to break this news to you. When I first got my wolf, the first and only person I wanted to know was, you. Not my adoptive parents, not anyone else, but only you. I wanted to run and tell you.” She started sobbing, here tears spilling like water from a fountain
“Do you remember when we went to watch that movie about vampires and werewolves? I asked you, if there were other species in the world like that shown in the movie, then what will your reaction be, would you like it? You told me, that you liked them because they were just some mythical and fictional beings and if such thing was to happen in real life you would run away without a second thought. The thought was scary for you. I was afraid to lose you Myra. I thought you would, you would run away from me too. And never meet me again. For my whole life you have been my only solace in that suffocating place. I didn’t wanted to lose you.” Nora narrated a past memory to Myra.
Myra’s hands tightened, creasing the white top she was packing, but her actions did not stop. She bit on her lips vigorously in order not to weaken her resolve and not to cry. This time she didn’t wanted to give in. She had a faint memory of what Nora told her.
Nora kept on begging as she held Myra’s hands which were packing her remaining stuff, “Myra, it is not any of my family members fault. I asked them not to tell you anything. I am sorry, please, I am really sorry.” Nora was a sobbing mess by now.
“But, a movie and real life is different Ms. Nora Everests, your betrayal, you deception has tainted every single memory we had together. And I CAN SIMPLY NOT FORGIVE YOU for that. I can’t look past it. You have, you have ruined everything. I have always tried to understand you, no matter what but not this time. I TOO HAVE FEELINGS. And this time, this time those feelings are not just hurt, but they are damaged, completely destroyed.” Myra was screaming now, her voice resonating wildly. “I was living in this delusion that our bond was so strong and powerful that nothing can break it, but you proved me wrong. I was so fucking wrong, Nora. You have broken… broken my damn trust.” She snatched her hand back and unknowingly pushed Nora away.
Caught off guard, Nora wobbled and fell on the floor, as the door opened and someone entered Myra’s room.
Alaric and Dion heard the commotion and came to see Myra. When they came inside, they saw that very scene.
Nora’s eyes were busy tearing up, as her cheeks were all soaked. Myra’s head was tilted to the other side; her backside seemed fragile as it was slightly hunched.
Nora’s brothers ran towards their sister, Dion patted her back to comfort her.
Alaric was enraged to see his sister’s terrible condition, he was infuriated beyond measures. He straight away made his way towards Myra, “How dare you, you pushed my sister? Are you now bored with your pretense, hahhh, finally showing your true colors p>
Nora pleaded, “Brother Al, it is not her fault. I didn’t see properly and fell on my own. Don’t say such things to my friend”
Alaric was sure that Myra was only pretending to be nice, “Ora don’t stop me today. I have had enough. She is treating you, the only princess and the daughter of Lycan King with so much disrespect. I cannot tolerate it anymore. And you human, you wanted to keep things civil, right? Is this your civility, pushing ’your friend’ around p>
His words provoke and sparked a fire within Myra’s brain cells, she was furious by his baseless accusations; she barked back, “My civility is extended for humans only. Not for some monster like you, Alaric Everests. And friend, did she take me as a friend? No, she did not. She, along with her whole family deceived me and now I AM THE BAD GUY, you are pathetic. She kept on telling lies after lies to me and you think I am overreacting p>
Nora got up and tried to break them free. They were standing face to face and both were ready to lock horns, “Brother Al, pleaseeee, I beg you. Don’t say anything rash p>
Alaric clenched his teeth and shut his mouth. But Myra did not stop there.
Although, her height was reaching to Alaric’s shoulder length only, but her eyes followed his and her gaze didn’t waver at all, “You all are the same. You, your brothers and everyone in this mansion are beasts. You must have really enjoyed seeing me as a fool, huhh? “
Dion too tried to intermediate and wanted to hold Myra’s hand to suppress her rage but the latter didn’t give him any chance. She distanced herself completely from the group, declaring in a clear tone, “Werewolf Princess, Nora Noah Everests, our friendship is over. I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOUR FACE, EVER AGAIN p>
