(Author’s POV)
Alex rolled his eyes at Alaric, ’Our mate is a just and kind human, inside and out. That is why she is giving us, Everests, a chance to redeem ourselves, got it? You, Al, you better watch what you say to her from now on. I swear if you try to overstep that line again, I will not be as kind as our mate is.’
Alaric mumbled, ’Stupid wolf, I am the next Lycan King and you are threatening ’me’. Hahaha, this is so damn insane, just how crazy you are. We never had any difference but ever since she came to live in the pack house and into our lives, my own wolf is warning me. When did you become so pathetic, Alex.’
Alex countered, his reply was sarcastic, ’And without me, you will not be the next Lycan King, so watch out that loud mouth of yours. And for your ’kind’ information, it is not me who is behaving distanced, but it is you, who is letting your own pride get in the way of seeing things clearly. You are the one that is being unkind.’ Alex kept emphasizing on the word ’kind’, which pissed Alaric more.
Alaric didn’t wanted to talk to his wolf any further because it was making him angrier, so he shoved him back inside his consciousness. Alex’s rambling was annoying for him.
Myra, who had already agreed to go to the study, asked all of them, "I need to change and pack my bags. Can you all just get lost from this room?" Her words were cut throat and blatant. She doesn’t wanted to play the nice guy anymore. ’Whatever they say, whatever they tell me, my answer will still remain the same. I can’t forgive any of them and I won’t. Nobody in this palace can force me. Today I will go back to Damona, by hook or crook.’
The boys stepped out of her room, leaving Nora and Myra alone. Myra didn’t move an inch, she asked Nora, her words were blunt, "Why are you still here?"
Nora hesitated with her words, as she fumbled, "I just ..... I just wanted to say ... thank .... you for agreeing and I am really sorry for everything," saying this, she walked out of the room with long strides.
As soon as the door closed, Myra lost all the strength in her legs as she crouched on the floor. She inhaled and exhaled long and even breaths to calm herself down. Her back was in a bad shape and so was her entire body, it was aching badly. Last night’s event had taken a toll on her already fragile figure. And now the mental trauma she had suffered has only heightened her fears. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
Her head was buried between her knees and her eyes were filled with fresh tears. ’Nora, you have really done it this time. You have really wounded our friendship. There is no turning back from this, there can’t be. Everything, every single thing was a lie.’
Suddenly, her head shot up as she realized, ’Now I understand why, when I first encountered Alaric in his room, he called himself an Alpha and that book from the shelf and those weird dreams I kept having since my arrival, everything makes sense now. Those weird noises, the wolf design on the brooch, the signs were always in front of me. Hahh, they all are a bunch of wolves in human skin, pompously vicious beings. I cannot stay in this place. Once this meeting is done, I am out of here. Mom, Dad, Wendy, I want to come back to Damona.’
Just then, her phone buzzed and chimed. She searched to find where the tune was coming from; it was on the bedside table. With great difficulty, she got up as little whimpers escaped from her lips. Her eyes creased but she made her way towards her phone and when she saw who was calling, more tears started falling from her eyes as they trailed down her cheeks and rested on her chin. It was a call from Sandra Miracle, her mother.
Myra didn’t pick up her call neither did she deny it. When the line got disconnected she patted on her heart murmuring, "Calm down Myra. Let’s not make mom worry, hmmm." But her tears were nearly uncontrollable. The phone buzzed two more times.
After giving herself a good five minutes time to relax, her chaotic nerves eased a bit and she called back. On the third ring, the call was answered, "Hello, Myra baby, why didn’t you answer my calls?"
With a hoarse voice, Myra cleared her throat and spoke, "Ehem .... aaaaa ..... I was inside the bathroom ..... Mum."
Sandra caught the slight trembling in her voice as she stiffened, her words full of worry, "My baby, what happened to you? Why do you sound like that? Is everything okay there? Did something happen?"
Myra pressed her mouth tightly, stifling her sobs, ’Mom, nothing is fine here, nothing. This place is~, this place is full of wild animals. It is horrible. They all are beasts, mom. And one of them even tried to~ he even tried to kill me with his enormous animal body. They call themselves werewolves, mom but they are nothing but monsters. And Nora, the one I thought was my friend, she lied to me; she is also one of them. MOM, I WANT TO COME HOME, I JUST WANT TO COME HOME AND HUG YOU.’
But Myra instantly refused, her voice a tad bit high and shrilled, "NOO, I will not stay here."
