Mated To My Best Friend's Lycan Alpha Brothers novel Chapter 105

Chapter 105: Battle Of Nerves

(Author’s POV)

Greg and Bella’s playful banter was interrupted by a light tap on the table. The person who came to their table, asked in a tone which was filled with surprise, "Ras, is it you?"

The group stopped talking at once and turned their heads towards the source of the voice.

Sara was thrilled to see the person whereas her sister, Bella wrinkled her nose in disgust, "What the f~ hell." She mumbled a curse.

Noah and Greg were confused about this new comer’s identity. They looked at the girls who were giving contrasting reactions. The elder one was happy to see the person, but her younger sister was not. That got them curious.

Sara stood up from her place and exclaimed in delight, "What a coincidence, Cai? What are you doing here?" She hugged Caiten in her usual friendly manner. But it made Noah purse his lips and tightened his grip on the glass of water. Arth, his wolf, was gnawing inside him, cursing, ’Who is this guy getting cozy with our Sara? I wish to rip those hands off of him.’

Caiten embraced her back tightly, maybe a bit too much, as he replied, "A coincidence indeed, I had an urgent meeting with one of the business partners but he suddenly ditched me in the middle. Now, as you can see, I am on my own."

Bella narrowed her eyes at him and then raised them, as she taunted him in a rather peculiar tone, "Yeah right, Cai~cai. Your ’supposed business’ set up an urgent meeting and it happens to be in this very restaurant, where we are dining. And now, ’that business partner’ has all of a sudden, left you stranded. What a rude business partner you have there, with such ’incredible work ethics’." She clapped hard stating this.

Caiten suppressed his frown and feigned a smile instead, agreeing to Bella’s words, "Yup, that’s what happened, Bell. You got it in one go. You are so intelligent."

Bella was baffled by his reaction, she wanted to provoke him but now she looked like a bad guy in front of everyone.

Sara looked at both of them with a helpless expression. One was her best friend and the other was her dear little sister. She knew both of them didn’t like each other. She then turned the topic to the boys and said, "Ohh right, it’s good that you are here, Cai. Let me introduce you all. This is Caiten Snow, my childhood best friend. And Cai, these are the new junior friends I was talking about earlier."

She then gestured with her hand, "This here is Noah Everests and this is Greg Andrew. They both are from the medical department and in Bella’s year." She beamed radiantly as she introduced the boys to Caiten.

Caiten didn’t like the words, ’childhood friend’ but he didn’t say anything. He then extended his hand towards Greg, who shook it and withdrew.

He then forwarded his hand for a hand shake to Noah, who wasn’t interested but for the sake of keeping up appearances, he had to acknowledge him. His hand gripped Caiten’s, a bit too forcefully. Caiten too, held his hand like a vice as they locked their eyes in a silent battle.

Noah smiled at Caiten, "It’s nice to meet Sar~a’s childhood friend." He emphasized on the word friend.

Caiten Snow raised his right eyebrow, as if challenging Noah, "It is nice to meet you too, junior." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

After a few seconds have passed, Greg mind linked Noah, "Dude, stop it. He is trying to rouse you. Don’t forget, the girls are here, watching."

Noah loosened the grip and withdrew his hand first. Caiten smirked, thinking he has won the battle of nerves.

The waiter arrived and asked, "Have you decided on your order, ma’am, sir?"

Caiten exclaimed loudly, "Ohhh my gosh, I am so sorry to interrupt you guys. Don’t mind me; I will be taking my leave. You guys enjoy. I will see you tomorrow in college, bye Sara." He then turned and started walking towards the exit, but his steps were slow and calculated.

Sara looked at his slumped figure and asked the group, "Do you guys mind, if one more person can join us?" She looked at the other three with expectant eyes.

None of them wanted to agree but they couldn’t be straight up vocal about their displeasure and sour Sara’s mood. Bella, however, tried to say, "Sis, the reservation is for four of us. It would be rude to include more people."

Sara nodded but her mood down casted a bit. Noah gritted his teeth and pressed his lips tightly.

Releasing a heavy sight, he said, "It won’t do any harm to add one more chair."

Greg looked at his friend in understanding and blinked at Bella. She reluctantly agreed, "Okay, whatever."
