(Author’s POV)
Hearing Sara’s words, Myra immediately remembered the gigantic and barbaric wolf form of Brave, running after her, trying to catch her. Her breath hitched and it made her skin crawl. Raw’s ink black mammoth figure was terrifying to her, she could feel goosebumps all over her body, she was trembling.
She clenched her fists hard enough to get a hold of herself. Her nails were digging inside her palms, ’Calm down and answer her.’ She took deep and long breath, looked at Nora’s parents and replied trying to sound composed, "Yes, I do remember. But, why are you asking me that?" She had an odd feeling about this.
Although, it was a complicated matter to explain but Sara had to tell Myra. She started, "For us, werewolves, the word ’mate’ possesses a deep meaning. A mate is a life partner chosen by the moon goddess, herself, our fated companion." Myra narrowed her eyes. Sara said, "You must be very confused as to why I am telling you all this, right?"
Myra nodded.
"I am sure that Brave must have called you his mate mistakenly because it is nearly impossible. There has been no such case recorded, where a human and a werewolf were fated mates. But .... but for you and for Brave as well, we would still like to confirm it from him," Sara dropped the bombshell.
Myra knew about the mate and mate bond thing, as she has already read it in the book. But at that time, she didn’t take it seriously, she took it as a children’s book, a mere prank played by Alaric and his brothers. But when Sara explained with a serious look on her face, she was left stunned.
She though it was a joke, a prank at most. But all of a sudden, something struck her as she remembered, ’Didn’t Alaric, Dion and Elio called me with that word.’ The flashback of each of them calling her their mate struck her hard. Her eyes widened in shock as she realized it something.
She looked at all three of them with disbelief, ’It can’t be true. It is just as Sara said, it is a mistake or it is just prank played by them. There is no possibility, no way.’
"I am not his mate, ma’am. I assure you," Myra spoke out loudly, more to herself then to others. Her tone was more like a shriek.
Sara agreed with her, "I also think that but ...... if by any chance ... you happen to be~ ...... you happen to be his mate. Then~ we need to discuss about that."
"It’s for your own safety, Ms. Miracle," Noah added.
"My safety? What do you mean? Are you threatening me?" Myra asked with a frown.
"No, I am not threatening you. It’s just that, if you are somehow my son’s fated mate, then our enemies will come after you. It has happened before. We don’t want to take any risks this time," Noah clarified his stance.
Myra was fear stricken to hear all this. She murmured, her voice low, "I need some time to think, ... alone.’
Noah as well as Sara nodded in understanding, "We understand, this is overwhelming for you. Take your time. We will wait for your decision." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Myra turned around and this time she didn’t stop and got out of the room. Her face was a bit pale and she felt a little dizzy. But she didn’t halt her steps and somehow made her way back to her room.
Nora wanted to follow her, she too was distressed to see Myra’s state but Sara stopped her, "Don’t go. She wants to be alone. We should respect that and give her some space." Nora understood her mother’s words but she was still anxious of her best friend’s wellbeing.
Elio got up and patted Nora’s shoulders, "She will be fine. She just needs privacy. We can’t rush with these things. She will choose what’s best for her." He then said, "I will go check on Brother Brave." His mind was already muddled up with conflicting thoughts.
