(Author’s POV)
"So, what’s the plan for today?" Yelena asked Myra while having a bite of her crispy toast.
Myra chewed her scrambled eggs diligently and then replied, "Firstly, I will have to see a doctor for this." She pointed at her swollen ankle which was covered with white cast.
"For a checkup or because your injury has gotten worse or sothing?" Yelena inquired. "Whatever it is, I am accompanying you to the hospital."
"Nahh, just simple checkup. Although, my ankle is irritating but it is lot better than day before yesterday. I just want to get an opinion on how much ti it will take to recover it. Then, I will have to plan my return ho accordingly," Myra uttered with a sigh.
Yelena nodded in understanding as Myra interrupted, "Ummm ... last night ... you were telling ... about that exchange program with Kingsterdom University’s affiliate. When is the last date of submission for that?"
"Why are you asking? Are you planning to change colleges, huhh?" Yelena pouted as she questioned.
"Maybe or maybe not. Who knows? Right now, I am just curious about it. Can you tell all the details about that program?" Myra said casually while leaning back on her chair.
"Ahhh .... Ohk. I will. But promise , if you make up your mind about going there, take with you. It will be damn boring here. My departnt fellas are mostly nerds and the others .... woahhh ...... they are just gossipmongers. I don’t want to be with either of them." Yelena ntioned and winked at Myra.
Yelena Yates was from a rich and prominent familial background. Though, both her parents were college professors but her grandfather was a businessman and quite famous in Damona with several restaurant chains under his wings. But Yelena, she didn’t put on airs in front of others nor was she was a down to earth person. She was quite chill and fun loving.
Her major in college was chanical Engineering and she was amongst the top five ranked student. Myra and Yelena has been roommate since their freshn year and gotten along really well with each other. They hit it off almost imdiately. Yelena had confined in Myra many a tis and the latter knew almost everything about Yelena.
"Ummhmm~ I will surely tell you," Myra chid.
They were making small talk while having breakfast when the sound of doorbell disrupted their conversation.
"Must be the housekeeper. I will go and check," Yelena got up and made her way towards the main door. She checked who it was. The screen lit up and showed no house help but Wendy standing there with a bag in her hand.
"Myra, it is your sister," Yelena told Myra who was still having her breakfast.
"Uhhhh? Wendy is here?" Myra’s brows furrowed. She checked the ti and it indicated eight thirty. "Should she be in school right now?"
Yelena clicked open the door and there she was, standing in casual clothes, smiling widely as she said, "Good Morning, Yelena sis."
"Morning Wends, co inside," Yelena called her inside. She obliged.
Myra turned back and looked at her sister with a confused expression, "What are you doing here so early? Should you be at your school right now? Did sothing happen?"
Wendy flashed an innocent smile and said, "It’s our school’s annual sports day. I didn’t participate in any sport, so I ca to keep you company."
Myra stared at her sister for a good long minute and then turned her head asking, "Have you had breakfast?"
"Ohhhh, glad you asked. I am famished," Wendy made herself comfortable.
Yelena brought another set of cutleries as Myra questioned her, "Wendy, what did you tell mom and dad? Did they say anything to you?"
"I handled it pretty well, sis. Trust , they didn’t suspect a thing. I even told dad that it is downpouring in Kimberg. Although, he got worried and wanted to call you, but as your phone is not working, it didn’t go through," Wendy explained her the situation.
"Hmmm~ ... I am going to the hospital for a checkup. When everything is sorted, I will call dad and tell him about my delay," Myra told Wendy.
"I will co with you guys," Wendy chid in.
Myra didn’t comnt anything on that and just stuffed her mouth with apple.

At Everests Mansion.
After having lunch, Sara, Noah and the three elders made there way towards Noah’s study to discuss Brave and Myra’s matter.
All the Everests siblings were returning back to their rooms when Noah said, "Alaric, you are joining this eting."
"Yes, father," Alaric complied instantly. Though, his original plan was to get freshen up and visit his twin brother.
Clent and Maximus weren’t pleased by Noah’s words at all. They frowned as Clent tried to protest, "Lycan King~ .... It’s the eting between us elders. There is no need~."
"With no disrespect towards you Elder Sanders but Alaric’s presence is absolutely necessary. He is the crown prince after all," Noah’s words were firm and resolute and he made his stand clear.
Clent’s face turned red but he couldn’t form any more counter attacking words. Maximus patted his back.
Alaric stifled a smile when he saw his father making a statent.
Noah wasn’t soone who was confrontational. But he could see the way Clent Sanders and Maximus Corbin were trying to corner his son, every now and then. He wouldn’t just sit back and watch that.
With no more words, they all entered Noah’s study and shut the door.
Eleanor Moore sat on the couch with Clent and Maximus settling beside her. Opposite them, Noah and Sara took their respective seats and Alaric remained standing.
There was a brief silence but Eleanor broke the dead locked, speaking, "What is the issue? How did young Alpha Brave got so severally injured?"
Noah gave a brief summary on all the events in chronological order and Eleanor humd and nodded. He told her about the attack and how Brave got into such condition and about what he said before fainting.
Eleanor’s brows furrowed as she heard Noah’s words. She pursed her lips and said, "So, this girl, princess’s friend, who is a human. Young Alpha Brave called her his mate?"
"Yes, that’s what Nora told us. That’s what she heard before Brave collapsed," Sara confird.
Eleanor’s facial expression changed for a second but she quickly concealed it as Maximus said rather excitedly, "That’s absurd Elder Moore. No way, a human can be a werewolf’s fated mate. There is no ancient text or no recorded case on it. I haven’t heard such a thing. I told even told Luna and Lycan kind that princess may have interpreted young Alpha’s words wrongly."
Maximus Corbin was so damn sure that Myra wasn’t Brave’s mate.
Eleanor ignored Maximus and asked Sara, "So, who is this girl? What is her na? Is she not here?"
"She is Nora’s childhood friend from the orphanage and our goddess daughter. Her na is Myra Miracle. She has returned to her hotown, Elder Moore," Sara told her truthfully.
"Are you sure she is a human? Did you check?" Eleanor shot back.
"Yes, there was no mark or no peculiar animalistic scent on her. We have even investigated her background thoroughly and there wasn’t anything odd about it," Noah clarified.
"But you said she was in the sa orphan with princess Nora. So, that ans she an orphan, correct?" Eleanor inquired.
"Yes, she is and her roots are still unknown," Noah said.
"Do you have a picture of her?" Eleanor asked without thinking much.
Alaric was just listening to them talking without interrupting. His mind drifted off to the blood samples and Myra’s hair he had collected for DNA testing. But this was a secret he didn’t wanted to reveal yet. He needed to be sure whether Myra was related to Clinton household or not.
To get the DNA sample of the other party was a hassle. He knew how much the Clinton’s disliked the werewolf kind and his family in particular. They would never comply willingly and right now. He couldn’t risk telling anybody about his plan.
Otherwise, his parents will definitely question about how he got those samples and the matter would get flared up even more. The situation would turn even more chaotic.
Myra was already back with her family and safe. He didn’t want to disturb her life now. Whatever happened inside the forest with those rogue wolves and afterwards in the hospital, the disgusted expression on Myra’s face was chilling to the bone.
"Yes, we have," Sara replied and unlocked her phone.
There was a group photo of all the Everests and Myra from Nora’s birthday banquet. She zood in her picture and showed it to Eleanor.
Maximus and Clent cranked their heads to see who this Myra Miracle was.
Eleanor looked at Myra and her hand started shaking. Sara’s phone slipped as she tried to conceal her shock and picked it up again, "Sorry, my hand slipped."
