Mated To My Best Friend's Lycan Alpha Brothers-Chapter 58: We Will See Many More Sunrises Together

(Myra’s POV)

’Deep breath, take a long and deep breath and just relax. Breathe in, breathe out, yeah just like that, well done, hmmm good. Don’t give in to their laminated words. It’s all a hoax, a trap’ I tried to meditate and calm my mind down, all the previous thoughts rushing in like someone has opened a water stream dam.

Nora occupied the space where Elio was sitting earlier, taking out the thermometer from the first aid kit she traced my temperature. "You have a mild fever, but your face seems extremely flushed, is this temperature machine broken or water." Nora stated teasingly. Then with a pause she asked, "So, what did you and Elio talked about, hmmm?"

"Nothing much, he was just checking in on me" I didn’t tell her the complete conversation. In a few days I’ll be gone, after all. No need to make a fuss and getting her involved.

Nora gave me a spectacle glance and said, "I really didn’t wanted to push you, My-My. But, tell me what’s really on your mind? You never drink more than two glasses, you know your limit. So, what made do drink so much?"

"I guess I was in a good mood after a long time" I mumbled. "So it was sort of random."

"So you admit your mood hasn’t been great lately?" Nora countered, striking back on my words.

I pressed my lips in a thin line, confessing, "Ahhh, maybe or may not be. It’s just everything feels strange to me, you see. You never told me about your family’s social status nor did you once mentioned anything about your siblings to me. The sudden shift of living conditions and environment ..... How should I put it ummmm..... is not very comfortable and is quite overwhelming for me. The car, the mansion, all the fancy stuff, makes me feel a lot burdened. You know the kind of life I have always lived. Ordinary and simple is my thing. So, you know what I am trying to say and also not everyone likes me in your household." I stated last line in a matter of factly way.

Nora held my shoulders, squeezing it subtly, "I understand, I totally get what you are trying to say. At first when I met my family, I was always walking on eggshells not to displease anyone, always being meek and polite towards every single person. Didn’t wanted the history to repeat itself. But they showed me that I am a crucial and important part of their family, their beloved sister and showered with me utmost attention and care. It used to intimidate me at first but knowing that I too have a family of my own now, the feeling of utter anxiety passed away slowly."

I was listening to Nora’s heartfelt words attentively. She has suffered a lot with her previous family, I have seen it all. So this approach was kinda expected of her.

Nora without naming anyone further continued, "And about the other thing, I can only say that, things will change very soon. You just have to be as you are, confident and loveable, as always. You can win over anyone by just being you."

I didn’t bother saying anything further because I knew Nora was just trying to make amendments which I appreciated. But one thing is that I knew full well is that something’s cannot be forced.

People have this love at first sight kind of thing, maybe Alaric had a ’hate her at first sight’ or something like that with me, haha.

On a second note, I curiously blurred, propping my body up, "Nora, but seriously, from now on no more secrets between you and me, okay. I don’t want to be in the dark about these kind of things. You know that’s a deal breaker for me, lying and deception."

I could see flicker of hesitation in Nora’s eyes but it was gone in a second. She gave me that toothy adorable smile just like Elio’s and assured me, "If there’s something, I’ll definitely tell you first."

’Is she really not keeping something from me? Why did she flutter? Or am I just imagining this?’

Soon my fever subsided, thanks to the fever reducing med and I drifted off to sleep, a peaceful one after a damn long time, it’s felt like ages.

The chirping of birds and someone’s deep throaty voice echoed sending ripples, breaking my sleep.

Squinting my eyes, I woke up trying to remember where I was exactly. Again that husky voice lingered near me, I searched for the source and found Elio whose hands were on my cheeks, "Your fever is completely gone, good morning." he have me his alluring dimply smile, ’Ahhh, its a good morning. How refreshing.’

’Ohh, right we were in the camp.’ "Morning" I stretched my body sitting up, "Where’s Nora?"

"Alaric called her, they’re outside, waiting for us. I have come to check on you and wake you up as well, the sun is about to rise" Elio told me with excitement evident in his voice.

"Okay, I’ll be out in a minute" I conveyed and as the gentleman he is, Elio walked out almost immediately, his touch still making waves inside my stomach, making me feel giddy.

Opening my phones camera, I looked at my face, ’Fuck, what the heck. Why the hell do I look like a zombie, all bloated and he was looking like a prince charming. Damn, this is not fair, god.’

Tilting my face, I saw a bit of drool at the edges of my lips; face palming myself I was beyond embarrassed. Nevertheless, I got up and tidied myself up neatly, packing myself real good, even putting on a scarf that Nora left for me and headed out to where the others were.

As soon as I left the tent, the cold yet refreshing early morning air greeted me with enthusiasm. ’This is so nice.’ The place was a bit dark but the sun was about to rise any minute so I made my way to Nora, sitting next to her, "Morning".

Nora looked at me with a puffy yet cute morning face and said, "Good Morning, My Ra-ra. You aren’t feeling cold right?"

I scoffed at her words, "How can I?" and gestured to my layered clothing. Nora made an ’I get it’ face and we both laughed at it.

Her other siblings were present apart from Brave, which I found a bit odd. ’Like seriously, he suddenly stood up and hurried to the forest in the middle of conversation and never came back. That’s strange as well as concerning. Am I the only one feeling this?’

So I probed Nora, "Where’s Brave?"

Nora took a long pause and replied, "Ahhh ... work calls .... I wish he could but he won’t be joining us."

’Maybe he’s a workaholic. That’s why he left in a hurry.’ "Okay, he must be busy."

"Ummhmm" Nora hummed.

As our conversation died down, the mesmerizing view of the sun peaking and gradually rising made me completely speechless. It was a jaw dropping sight, utterly surreal. The flock of birds were flying in the air, the light which touched the land brought out vibrant colors of the majestic scenery darkened by the night. The different shades and shapes of endless flowery fields and the river from earlier was a sight to behold and kept locked up as a precious memory. A once in a lifetime experience.

I didn’t realize, but someone held my hand and whispered near my ear, making me quiver, "We will see many more sunrises together."
