Mated To My Best Friend's Lycan Alpha Brothers novel Chapter 271

Chapter 271: I Know Your Secret Now

(Author’s POV)

As Yelena and Wendy stepped inside the house, Sandra scurried towards them and embraced Wendy in a tight hug. Her eyes were bloodshot, as if she had been crying. Her voice held a tremor when she asked, "Are you alright?"

"Mum, we are fine," Wendy gently patted her back in an attempt to comfort her.

William, who was standing on the side, looked at the entrance and then at the two girls. He frowned, "Where is Myra?"

Sandra pulled away from the embrace as well and asked, "Yes, where is she? Why is she not with you girls?" Her voice came out hoarse.

"She and Fabian had something to discuss about tomorrow’s event. She will be back soon," Yelena uttered, without missing a beat. "Uncle William, Aunt Sandra, don’t worry, folks. Your daughters are safe. After all, didn’t I promise you to take care of them and be their bodyguard? Now wipe away your tears, lady." She did an ’okay’ gesture.

Both Sandra and William sighed in relief as the former approached Yelena, surprising her with a gentle embrace, "You must have been scared as well, Yelena."

Yelena was left stunned for a brief moment. Her body went stiff as a stone. She hadn’t realized yet that she was shaking as well, but when Sandra asked that question, she was overwhelmed with raw emotions. Although she was carefree and headstrong at all times, there were moments when she was frightened, too. It is just that she was not very good at showing this side to anyone, so she kept it hidden behind her goofy nature and teasing.

Her voice kind of choked as she muttered, "You must have been scared, too, Aunty."

As the atmosphere was getting too emotional, Yelena diffused it by pulling away while teasing both Sandra and William, "Anyway, sorry to disrupt your date night, my young couple." With a hand on her hips, she inquired, "By the way~ .... Uncle William~ ...... where is the romantic setup, the flowers, the candlelight, the music, I tipped you about?"

Sandra wiped the corners of her eyes, smacked her shoulders playfully, and said, "Don’t tease anymore, umm." Yelena chuckled and replied, "Okay, madame of the house, Miracle. On your orders. No more teasing."

William crossed his arms and asked, his voice firm, "Did what Myra said on the phone, correct? Were you all not in the mall when the fire broke out?"

Wendy bit her lips and looked at Yelena as she was the one to reply, "Of course, of course. It is just as Myra told you. Actually, at that time, we were not inside the mall but in the shopping district nearby, as this daughter of yours~" she pointed at Wendy and continued, "wanted a street style hamburger."

Getting the cue, Wendy played along, as she added, "Yeah, we were just so lucky. We were standing outside the mall, with a burger in one hand and a cola in the other, when we saw smoke and massive flames coming out of the building, and people rushing out of the place. It was complete mayhem."

William caught something from her words and gave her a questioning look, "Burgers and Colas? Didn’t you three vow not to touch it because it had too many calories in it? Are you lying now? Hmmm, Wendy?" His voice was stern as he stared at his daughter.

Wendy clicked her tongue, but Yelena covered for her in time, "It was one of our cheat days."

Though William was still doubtful, he didn’t ask any further. Sandra said, "Enough with this talk. We are glad you were not trapped there and came home safely. That’s enough for both of us, and the only thing that matters. By the way, I was just about to prepare dinner. Tell me, what do you both crave? I and William will make it for you in a jiffy."

Fabian’s house was located on the opposite block. The car drove off in silence, as Myra looked out at the evening sky, which was painted gold and red with a hint of blue, reminding her of the blazing fire from the incident and the person rushing upstairs to counter it.

’But why was he running towards the fifth floor where the fire happened? Was some from the Everests family trap in it? But how is this possible? They are ....... were~wolves. They are so powerful. I have experienced it firsthand. So, why~ ......’

"We are here," Fabian’s voice interrupted her thoughts as she looked at him with confusion. He then added, "My house, we have arrived," as he pointed towards a mid century styled house, giving off a totally different vibe from that of Myra’s.
