(Author’s POV)
As soon as the door of the elevator shut, Myra leaned backwards the pain in her spinal area was sudden elevated. She looked at Nora’s hunched figure and pursed her lips.
Honestly, she was feeling a tad bit guilty for how she was treating her childhood friend. Because according to Myra, it may not be real for the other party but for her, the moments she has lived with Nora were blessing sent by the heaven itself.
Despite having a family, Myra was too much attached to Nora. After all, they have endured those harsh toddler years together and always stick through thick and thins. Unknowingly, she was clenching her hands on the side, her nails digging in her palms. ’Nooooo, don’t feel sorry for her, Myra. She has wronged you badly. You thought of her as family and she concealed such a big truth from you. She took advantage of your love for her, care for her. Don’t fall for the act. Maybe, she is still hiding something, who knows.’ Myra kept reminding herself. It was because Nora was family to her; she was hurt by the betrayal brutally.
Nora’s eyes were closed; she was too scared to even turn around and look at Myra. Her shoulders were drooped and her back was slightly bent, showcasing her dejected state of mind.
She kept on praying to the moon goddess, ’Please, Goddess of the Moon, I beg of you, do some miracle. I do not want to lose my only friend in this world. I will do anything, anything in power, to make up for my mistakes. Please, help me, help me this once moon goddess.’
Aura, who too was listening to her companion’s desperate pleading, was heartbroken, she was shattered.
She, alongside Nora, had a special bond with Myra, though the latter didn’t even know of her existence up till now. She has seen it all, how Myra took care of Nora when her adoptive parents weren’t there for her. Myra was the one who fully supported Nora in each and every decision of her life. She stood like a rock by her side. She was with her at every curve of her life.
Despite, Aura being a powerful and imposing Lycan in the werewolf world, she was frightened by the mere thought of losing Myra and the priceless bond. She has always perceived that her, Nora and Myra were somehow tied up with some invisible fragment, not romantically though, but still there was a connection among the three of them. So, she was unwilling to part with Myra.
Soon, the elevator stopped and with a ding sound, the door opened for the ground floor. In utter silence, the two girls walked out, Nora leading the way, while Myra keeping her distance but trailed behind her.
Myra observed the normally bustling living room was empty with no servants in sight. But after some thought, she ignored it and steeled herself for what was about to come. She tilted her head slightly upwards, raising her chin and walked with confidence.
Nora abruptly halted her steps in front of a vast wooden door and mumbled in a whispering voice, "Here we are." She then knocked on the door and a voice came from inside, "You may come in."
Nora glanced towards Myra, who took a deep and long breath, as if preparing for a battled field, and it really was one.
Inside that room, were the people who have deceived her for whole two weeks. She has lived with them under the same roof, shared plenty of meals with them on the same table, spent time with them and been intimate with two of those werewolves. That thought, now, was extremely repulsive for her. She was torn by how insincerely this family has treated her.
Nora tilted the door knob and held it for Myra. They both made their way inside the vast and expansive study owned by Noah and Sara, the Lycan King and Luna.
The study room was nothing short of a library which was straight out of a movie, with endless books and scriptures adorning the long white castle like walls. There was even a staircase which led to a second floor. The dim light coming from the glass chandelier was penetrating the wooden table settled just below it. The fire place was lit up trying to give the cold atmosphere a warm vibe.
Small and medium ambient lightings were inserted to highlight the book sections and two sets of maroon colored couches with their small chairs were adjusted beautifully. The aesthetics of that place was on the more traditional and conventional side. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Noah Everests, who was settled in his chair behind his work table, had his chin rested on his hand. Sara, on the other hand was seated on the couch, as she asked Myra, "Have a seat, Myra." Her words were affectionate as always but this time Myra didn’t felt any warmth from it.

Noah noticed Myra’s creased face and looked at where she was looking. In his usually commanding and imposing demeanor, he delivered his words, "Alaric Everests, you are an Alpha, so stop being disrespectful."
Alaric took his father’s remark very casually, feigning innocence, "What did I do to be disrespectful, father? I am just simply sitting here."
