Mated To My Best Friend's Lycan Alpha Brothers novel Chapter 69

Chapter 69: Keep An Eye On Them

(Author’s POV)

Myra was trying to suppress her chuckle by shoving an apple in her mouth when she looked at Alaric’s face; he was frowning and seemed irritated. But as he turned his head to the side and looked at Myra’s stifling expression, his annoyance completely disappeared and he beamed at her radiantly, ’Laugh all you want, human. It is your day today. Enjoy while it lasts.’

Sara interrupted his chain of thoughts with her authoritative voice that echoed through the mind link, "Alaric Everests meet me upstairs, in my office, after breakfast. I have something important to ask of you."

Alaric sighed tiredly in his head but only replied, "I’ll be there, Luna" his tone all formal and respectful.

The breakfast went on quite smoothly with a chilled out and relaxing atmosphere. But it was just all on the surface. Inwardly, the siblings were all jittery and nervous apart from their elder brother. They all wanted to keep the mood light, harmonious and stress free.

Although, Myra spirits were high, she still kept her distance from others and only replied politely when someone asked her something. She didn’t engage or took the initiative to talk to the brothers or Nora’s parents, keeping the conversations only to a minimum.

Noah finished his breakfast and left the table as he had to head to the office. Sara too left after a minute or two. Nora while stuffing her face with an apple pie asked Alaric, "Brother, you are not going to wear ’this’ on a fun day out, do you?" and started laughing at him openly.

Alaric was wearing a beige colored suit and indigo tie, with a crisp off white shirt inside, looking all business like and professional. He shrugged at Nora’s comment with an eye roll, and replied with a sarcastic tone, "Yes, doesn’t your big brother look good in this? It is perfect for shopping and strolling and carrying shopping bags."

Nora didn’t reply to his sarcasm and turned to his left and asked Dion, "You are also going office, since when? I thought you weren’t interested in management and business and only like training or other stuff like partying and enjoying? Why the sudden change?"

Dion casually replied, "Mother’s orders. What can I say?"

Nora bobbled her head in agreement. She then asked Elio, "And you, why did mother call for you?"

Elio paused, pursed his lips and then spoke, "Ahhh, some of the .... aaaaa ..... children ... in the welfare center are ill. So, Mother is going there and ..... hmmm ..... I am going with her, to check up the situation there."

The underlying meaning was, ’some of the young wolves were fed wolfsbane and they were ill because of that.’ So, Elio’s assistance was absolutely necessary there. He was well versed in the medicinal field and Dr. Greg Andrew trusted him fully, after all he was a Lycan Alpha and it was in his jurisdiction to take care of the pack members.

The crew understood his words and didn’t dragged the topic further and soon they all were done with their breakfasts and left for their assigned works.

Nora and Myra returned to their rooms to pack up some essentials and tidy up. Dion left for the office with Noah and Elio went to Matthew to know the current situation of the kids.

Alaric was summoned by Sara, so without wasting any time, he went to see her. Tapping twice on the door lightly, he entered Sara’s home office, "Mother"

Sara, took off her chained frameless glasses, gave Alaric a serious look and signaled for him, "Come, take a seat."

Alaric instantly knew what his mother wanted to discuss was something important. He settled in the seat with an upright posture.

Joining her hands together, Sara kept her elbows on the mahogany table and settled her chin on her joined hands, "I will come straight to the point. Why has Brave not come home yet?"

"He’s busy with some important international deals and has been staying in his office" Alaric didn’t mentioned anything about the opal or what happened at the camp.

Sara’s with her eyes narrowed sized him up and then she fired back, "Do you think I don’t know why he isn’t home? Do you think you can lie to my face and I’ll just accept your lies? Alaric, I am giving you another chance, think carefully and then answer." Sara toned turned solemn.

Alaric gulped at her words, he knew he couldn’t hide any further so he blurt, "Nora found a black opal and gave it to him. It didn’t work so he’s busying himself with all that work. But I am sure what Nora found is just some normal opal and not a magic opal." He didn’t wanted his mother to worry. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Sara’s face turned somber at what Alaric said, she spoke with an edgy tone, "All this happened and you didn’t even inform me, neither of you? You think you are the future Lycan King and so you can hide things like that from me? Answer me, Alaric Everests, I am talking to you."

In a mere whisper, Alaric spoke, "I am at the wrong mother, I am sorry."

Alaric muttered, "I am sorry for letting you down mom" and then turned and left her office. Sara looked at his departing figure and made a sad face, "I’m sorry too, Al. I have to be strict with you. For you, I have to be."

They entered the elevator and as the door closed, Yona’s friendly smile turned into an ugly sneer, "Everything will be more than perfect tonight. No one will ever forget."

Myra too looked at his different attire and couldn’t help but admire his well build physic. He was wearing a grey hued hoodie and a pair of dark blue jeans, adorning brown boots to go with his outfit. Her inner thoughts were, ’Everything suits on good looking people. It is just his brain cells that need to have a complete makeover.’
