(Author’s POV)
Nora was bawling her eyes out, "Brother Alaric, please, I beg of you. Don’t say anything rash. I will handle it on my own." He was making the situation worse by spouting venomous words.
Alaric, though reluctant, shut his mouth at his sister’s disheveled pleading, as he clenched his jaw tightly. In his mind, Nora was blinded by her so called friend.
But Myra was not in the mood to settle down and give in. Alaric words had inflad her fury even more.
She was exasperated; this sibling tirade was getting on her nerves. Defiantly, she matched Alaric’s daggering glare, although she was nowhere near his gigantic physique. But she held her ground well with her head held high, she spitefully verbalized, "You all are so alike, true sibling bond, ahhhh. You are just like your brothers, Nora. Each and every single person living in this mansion is nothing but ruthless and raging beasts wearing human skin."
She then clicked her fingers in front of Alaric’s face, "You must have really enjoyed seeing make a fool out of myself, isn’t it? And I thought you had so childish kink, to call yourself an Alpha at every point. But, in the end, I am the one who has turned out to be the naïve one. Nora, you and your family really did dirty."
Dion was silent uptil now, but as things escalated and Myra’s anger flared, he stepped in to diate. All he had to do was to hold Myra sohow and he could restrain her blaring emotions to a certain extent, so that they can converse and convince Myra properly.
But Myra was having none of that nonsense. As Dion tried to simply hold her wrist, she instantly withdrew herself, completely distancing from the trio.
With a resonating and bold voice, she declared, "Nora Noah Everests, our friendship of twenty years has co to its expiry date. It is all rotten and filthy now. So, I am letting it go. I, Myra William Miracle, NEVER WANT TO SEE YOUR FACE, EVER AGAIN IN THIS LIFETI AND THE NEXT."
Nora shook her head violently as tears kept spilling from her usually bright orbs. Aura was gnawing inside her head by Myra’s brutal declaration, she scread inside Nora, ’NOOOOOOOOO, Myra. It can’t be over like that. At least give a chance. A chance to make things right.’
Dion too, backed his sister up, "Myra, none of us wanted this to happen. How can you throw away your childhood friendship just like that? At least, listen to the full story once. What we have shown you in this past few weeks, none of it is untrue. Our mother and father’s kindness towards you is all genuine. I admit we didn’t tell you the truth from the get go and I will not justify that action of ours. But please, we really need to talk this through. You are not just Nora’s friend but I too see you as my friend. Give us a chance." He was desperate as he enunciated each word with force. The thought of his mate in sheer pain and agony was pricking him badly; he didn’t wanted Myra to leave him and his wolf.
Alaric looked at both his siblings and he was disgusted, not by them, but in his point of view, Myra was giving such a performance that she could get an Oscar for it, like an award winning actress.
Whereas, inside his mind, his wolf, Alex was reprimanding him as he was pesky, ’ALARIC EVERESTS, just because we are companions, do not dare to cross the line any further than you have already done. Nothing is confird yet you are accusing and behaving like SHE IS ALREADY THE CULPRIT. You cannot feel anything because you have beco stone hearted, but I can clearly feel it, just how much tornted she is right now.’
’And that’s where you are wrong, wolf. Humans are deceitful creatures and she, is a master in that art. I don’t know what kind of magic she possesses for you as well as Raw to call, HER, that bane word. Isn’t that evidence enough for you, why are you so blinded by her sorcery? Understand this Alex; no one in the world can have two mates at a sa ti. So, what she is planning is obvious and is exposed now. She approached but that didn’t work so now she is playing the sa trick on my twin brother. She is putting on an act, can’t you see that.’ Alaric countered.
Alex defended, ’It is not who is blinded by any magic. It is you, Alaric, you and your petty ego has shielded your eyes from accepting the plain truth. Yes, I don’t know why Raw called her, his mate. And I know that there has never been a case where a person had two destined mates. But one thing I have told you ti and ti again is that, she is our fated mate. The mate bond doesn’t lie. She’s MINE, she’s YOURS and WE ARE HERS, whether you like it or not. You cannot escape the reality graced to us by the virtuous moon goddess.’ Alaric growled.
anwhile, his sister and brother continued with their pleas and appeals but none of them could suffice Myra. She was just like a massive block of glacier, cold and bone chilling icy, not ready to relent.
But, all of a sudden, her tune changed and she fired a question at Nora, as if finally giving her friend a chance to redeem herself, "Nora, let ask you sothing. Answer honestly. And I will agree to listen to all your reasons. Can you do that much?"
Nora saw a ray of hope and she was eager to cling to it, "Go ahead. I will answer everything with utmost honesty. No more lies."
"Very well, then. Tell , if the roles were reversed and I was the one deceiving you and telling such lies, what would your response be? Would you have forgotten about everything and moved on like you want to? Or would you have~" though Myra didn’t finish her question, her words were already heard by the others. This wasn’t a question, this was Myra’s trick.
Silence befall in the bedroom, Nora wanted to say sothing, anything in return. But her heart and her mind, both refused. She knew exactly what the answer was to Myra’s question. She would not forgive the person.
Her wolf was urging her to answer, ’Go on, and say it. Tell her; tell her, you will accept her anyhow. Tell her, these things will not hinder your friendship. TELL HER NORA.’ But Nora couldn’t say anything. She knew very well that the damage she had done to their friendship and to Myra was irreversible.
Myra gave a frosty smirk, "At least, this silence of yours is honest. I am glad you stuck to the no more lies thing this ti."
Nora’s face was all red and her head lowered in sha, the sound of her whimpers echoing inside the room. But she couldn’t let Myra return to her ho like that, in a low but determined voice, she murmured, "Myra, I know I have wronged you, deceived you and hurt you badly. I don’t want you to forgive , but just listen to my side, my full story. And then, I will not stop you from going to Damona. If you want to end our friendship, you can. I will not force you to stay."
Myra chewed her inner cheek as she looked at Nora with narrowed eyes. She didn’t wanted to soften at this ti, but sothing called within her, urged her to know the full story. She wanted to put a proper end to it, for that, a closure was needed.
Nora understood Myra’s silence was her agreent. So, she added, "I will tell you everything but this is not the place. Mom, Dad and the others are waiting in my father’s study. They want to talk to you too. Can you co to the study with ?"
Myra hesitated, her initial thought was, ’This is a trap, certainly a trap, don’t give in. She knows your weakness. Don’t yield to her request.’
Before she could refuse, Nora uttered, "Mom really wants to talk to you."
After Nora’s words landed on Myra’s ears, she wavered, her resolve crumbled. After all Sara treated her with benevolence and affection. She wanted to know whether that was fake or real.
Myra nodded with resistance. Seeing this, Nora and Dion released a sigh of relief. They saw a glimr of light. Maybe, just maybe, if all of them talked to Myra and tried to convince her, she will give in. At least, she may understand their point of view.
Alaric scoffed as he mocked, he had to hail Myra’s acting. ’Ahhhhh, see this human girl Alex, she is so clever. She kept on denying and denying, and now she has suddenly relented. Hahaha, worthy acting, indeed. I want to see, what will be the extent of her play.’
