(Author’s POV)
"Hey Fabian, seriously, tell . Why aren’t you telling Myra that this place belongs to you, huhh?" Yelena asked him directly, when Myra had excused herself out of the private room.
"No particular reason. I just don’t want to co off as a flashy friend, who is flaunting his wealth," Fabian replied casually.
"Oh Ph~lezzz (exaggerated form for please) ...... your Ferrari is flashy enough. Do you really think you can hide this from her," Yelena rolled her eyes at him as she told him.
He pursed his lips, opened his mouth to say sothing but didn’t say anything. He had told Myra that he borrowed this car.
Soon, Myra returned to the room, with an odd expression etched on her face.
Clearing his throat, Fabian asked, "Why the odd face Myra? Did sothing happen out there?"
"Sothing really weird happened. I don’t know how to make sense of it," Myra comnted.
Yelena made a confused face while Fabian’s expression turned icy cold as the forr asked, "Did you see a water ghost or sothing? Or did you see soone getting kidnapped in broad daylight? Or is it sothing more dramatic than this, like the waitress pushing the manager off the stairs?"
Myra rolled her eyes at Yelena’s exaggerated questions, "Nothing of that sort, Yel. I just went to the reception desk and asked her for the bill. But she told ...." she paused and looked at Fabian and then continued, "Our al is on the house because it’s their ’quarterly anniversary’. I don’t buy it. Honestly, it is absurd to ... tell truthfully Fabian, what’s going on? Are you friends with the owner of this place? Or do you~"
Before Myra could say anything Fabian, making a guilty face said, "Ahh~ ...... you caught . I really didn’t an to conceal this from you, Myra ... I just wanted to share a good al with my friends, without burdening you. I know you wanted to co here since the restaurants opening. So, I paid for the al in advance. Sorry, if I ...... if I sohow offended you. It was really thoughtless of ." As his words finished, his shoulders slumped and he lowered his head a little to make himself look dejected.
Myra pressed her lips tightly as she stared at Fabian’s figure. In her view, though Fabian was a kind and polite person, but he had hardly any friends. She has never seen him hanging out with his peers. He is either busy with lectures or attending seminars with other professors. Once Myra even asked him directly, about this topic, that’s when Fabian pulled the pity party card and told her that he doesn’t have any close friends in Esteria. Myra actually bought his excuse. And since than they would hang out in their free ti.
"I really am disappointed, hmmm ...... it was supposed to be my treat. Do you really think such low of ?" Myra asked him.
Fabian with a barely audible voice, murmured, "I am sorry for overstepping."
Myra sighed at his reaction and then said, "What’s done is done. But next ti, don’t do sothing like that, okay?"
Fabian nodded. Yelena who was watching on the side wanted to puke at Fabian’s acting. To know Myra better, Fabian kept in touch with Yelena and they also beca quite close. Though, initially Yelena had a crush on him, she could clearly tell Fabian was into her friend so she subdued her own feelings.
She snapped her fingers and said, "Now, if we are done with the lunch, where are we going next? Let’s go to the beach for a stroll. I having been itching to feel the sand mixed with sea water on my feet. Can we go, hmmm, Myra, Fabian, ummm~ ...... ummm?"
Myra nodded and the three of them headed out to their next destination.

anwhile in Kimberg, Noah and Sara have summoned all the Everests siblings to the study to discuss sothing important. Things have been quite tensed lately.
Everyone was settled at their respective places as Noah, with his usually authoritative voice started, "The final hearing for the Elders’ case is scheduled for next week, on Monday. Nora, you will have to co with and your mother as you were the pri victim of their bullying."
"Ok, dad. I will ask my manager for a leave," Nora muttered. She has been diligently working at the company and on her own rits, landed a permanent position in the recruitnt departnt. She went by her mother’s na, Nora Allen, so as no one could know her identity.
Then Noah’s gaze turned to the Everests brothers, he questioned them one by one, "Alaric, how much ti it will take to wind up the redevelopnt project?"
"About a month and a half. Everything has been smooth so far. As it is in its final stage, I won’t disappoint you," Alaric replied with a serious tone.
"Good. Dion .... And how is the deal with the Sasha’s art gallery going? Didn’t you say it was a done deal," Noah questioned, while tapping his fingers on his chair’s armrest.
"It will be finalized within this week," Dion replied confidently. He had proposed to acquire the art gallery out of personal interest as well as because this particular gallery held quite a potential.
Noah humd and then turned to his youngest son, "Elio, how is the Seb and Cooper?"
"Seb has been recovering well as for Cooper ....... he has sustained a deep wound in his chest," Elio briefed Noah about the pack’s warriors who have fought bravely and managed to survive in the recent rogue attack.
"When will Greg return?" Sara inquired,
"Dr. Andrew will be returning from Blue Mountain Pack, day after tomorrow," Elio told him. He has been foreseeing the patients along with other senior pack doctors.
Lastly, Noah looked Brave’s way, "Brave, how is the situation at your end? How is the training coming along for young wolves?"
"The young wolves all have been highly motivated and has been training diligently. And as for the last rogue attack, apart from Seb and Cooper, three of our warriors could not survive. I have talked with their families," as Brave finished his words, a heavy silence lood in the room.
From the past two months, every now and then, the rogues have tried to create havoc in Moon Shine Pack’s territory. They have targeted schools, night clubs, restaurants and most of the other public places. There have been total thirty casualties till this date and Brave have been dealing with the issue.
"Do you now, why we both called you all today?" Sara asked.
Everyone shook their head as Sara said, "Because of the frequent rogue attacks that have been happening recently in our pack as well as our neighboring packs, we have decided to join hands with soone who is quite experienced dealing with rogue wolves. That person has agreed but he has a condition."
"Condition? Who could it be? What is the condition, mother?" Brave questioned, his eyes narrowed.
Everyone was anticipating Sara’s next words, but what they all heard next, was a shocker for all of them. Sara muttered, "The condition is that all four of you, will have to go to his estate and make the deal. And the one we are joining hands with is, Jacob Larson."
"WHAT the ~" Dion stopped himself just in ti but he was stunned to know who they were having a deal with. Alaric, Brave and Elio also had the sa expression as his.
Only Nora was confused by the reaction as she asked, "Who is Jacob Larson? I haven’t heard of any werewolf nad like him. Is it so hidden pack or sothing?"
Elio murmured, "He does not belong to any pack. He is a~"
"Father, mother, I think you should reconsider it. Jacob, that guy, can we even trust him. His kind and our kind have been at odds since like ...... forever. He must be having an ulterior motive," Brave comnted.
"Brave is right. We can’t trust them," Alaric added a bit agitatedly.
"What is going on? Who is this, Jacob Larson? Can you guys please tell ?" Nora was getting impatient as she asked.
"Our mortal enemy. He is from the Vampire Clan," Sara answered.
"V~am~pire?" Nora was speechless to know Jacobs’s identity.
"Mother, that’s not a good idea. We can~" Elio was about to argue but Noah interrupted, "SILENCE, all of you. This is not up for discussion. Free your schedules, you all will be flying to Esteria in four days."
"Esteria? Isn’t his residence in Hobaltan?" Alaric inquired.
He has been residing in Esteria from the past one year as Red Stone University’s Chairman as Esteria cos under vampire clan’s jurisdiction. Pack up your bags, I want all four of you to deal with this issue first and foremost," Noah announced.
"But father~" Alaric said but Noah didn’t let him complete, "The decision is final. This issue, deal with it."
