Mated To My Best Friend's Lycan Alpha Brothers novel Chapter 205

Chapter 205: The Call

(Author’s POV)

Sara started taking small steps toward Alaric, who was stiffly standing near his now closed suitcase. With each step that his mother took in his direction, Alaric swallowed hard. His hands were tucked behind him, hiding Myra’s blood sample. He tried to maintain a composed façade outwardly but inside he was in full on panic mode.

His mother continued, "You weren’t at home so you don’t know it yet. I called Myra today and had a bit of a chat with her. I explained to her the current situation regarding Brave and the test that Greg conducted earlier today. Although, I asked her to visit Kimberg and she refused but she was up for a phone call." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Alaric was still perplexed by what his mother was trying to convey to him. Half his mind was on the suitcase and the bottle he was concealing from her. He told Sara that he didn’t understand and she gave him a detailed description about their conversation.

As her words finished, she stood right in front of Alaric’s rigid figure and looked straight at him, "Al, show me what you are trying to hide."

Alaric’s eyes fluttered with dread, he fumbled with his words, "Mo~ mother, what are~ ...... what are you talking about? What will I even hide from you?" He laughed nervously trying to shrug off her suspicion.

Sara gave him a stern once over and extended her hand, "Alaric."

"Mother, it is really nothing," Alaric protested. Although, he wanted to sound calm but it came a pitch high than his normal tone. He was in a bit of shock, not expecting anyone to come at this hour.

"Even if you don’t show, I already know what it is," Sara spoke, her voice carrying something making Alaric hitch his breath even more.

"Yo~ you do?" Alaric asked, his eyes wide. ’Can she smell the scent? Even I cannot,’ Alex muttered inside Alaric’s head. He was freaking out as well.

"Of course, I can already see it," her gaze landed beside him. His attention turned towards the same direction. Sara was looking at his silver, code locked suitcase. "You are going to work again, isn’t it? Alaric, you need rest from time to time. Everyone is worried about you. Brave is already~" her eyes shifted to his other son, her expression turning solemn. She continued, "he is already not in the best of condition and you~ ...... do you want to work yourself to death. Nora has been worried sick for your health as well. It is already way past midnight and you even brought office documents home to work on them." She reprimanded him thoroughly.

Alaric’s eyes flickered when he heard his mother’s words. He released a heavy sigh in relief and smiled, "Ok, mother. I won’t bring any office work to the packhouse and will take care of my health as well, I promise. I won’t worry you," he assured her. ’So, she is just guessing. Phew ... dodged a bullet.’

But his relief was short lived, Sara extended her hand once again, "Hand over the documents to me, now."

He pressed his lips tightly, thinking of something to distract Sara, that was when her phone started ringing, the ringtone echoing inside the quiet room.

Sara looked at the display and surely enough, it was a call from Myra. Her focus shifted towards her phone. She pulled her hand away and turned to the other side to pick Myra’s call. It was enough time for Alaric to open the case, put the bottle back in and close it again. His hands were flash as lightening. It was as if he had gained a new special ability. He was that quick.

Alex, though initially nervous, cracked up at Alaric’s swiftness. He found the entire scenario hilarious and couldn’t hold back. Alaric grinded his teeth at his wolf’ laughter, ’Shut up, Alex. Or I will cut you off completely.’ He was irritated.

Alex held his laughter in and questioned, ’Ok, I won’t laugh. But, what’s next? What will we do now? Do we wait and try again or do we just drop the plan altogether?’

’Let’s see how it goes with mother’s plan?’ Alaric replied back. ’Maybe it will work and we won’t need to proceed with our plan.’

Sara was at some distance but the cheerfulness in her voice couldn’t be concealed, "I am really grateful that you agreed to help Brave. I am indebted to you for this favor. I know it must be difficult for you but thank you, really."

Myra was silent for a few seconds, she then said, "You have done a lot when I was at your house. I am just repaying the favor." She left it at that. "Are you with Brave now?"
