Mated To My Best Friend's Lycan Alpha Brothers

(Author’s POV)

*Back to the present*

The entire room was filled with utter silence. No one spoke anything for a few minutes. Although, the Everests siblings’ knew about what happened back in the day with Caiten, but it was mostly bits and pieces. Their parents have never told them the whole and this detailed truth. They were hearing it for the first time and they were horrified to know the details.

As for Myra, half of the conversation, she couldn’t understand anything about it. But the other half, she was stunned to know that, ’How can someone be so cruel and ruthless?’

Sara was about to tell her something more when Myra interjected, ”I am sorry Mrs. Everests. I am interrupting you in between. But I don’t understand one thing. Why are you telling me this?” Myra was confused by this long storytelling session. So, she asked upfront.

Sara pursed her lips, ”Myra, actually.” She sighed and said, ”Caiten, his death really affected me to the core. That ugly night, I lost my once best friend and almost my dear little sister, Bella or so I thought.”

She looked at Noah, her eyes were rimmed slightly red after reminiscing about their past.

Noah continued from where she left off, ”Ms. Miracle, after that night, Sara had blamed herself for Caiten’s death. She was deeply hurt and in pain by the incident that occurred then. That night, everyone thought that Caiten had died. As a former medical student, I thought it too. There was no pulse, he wasn’t breathing. All in all there was no sign of life left in him. But the truth was far from that.”

The couple looked at each other and this time Sara said, ”Caiten didn’t die that night, although, Alpha Keith held his funeral for the world to see. We all thought like that and somehow moved on. But, from time to time, I used to have nightmares regarding that time. After knowing that I was pregnant with twins and a daughter, those nightmares and oddly feeling faded. But, when I was eight months pregnant with Elio and Nora, Noah had to go to the Half Shade Lunar Pack for some urgent business matters. It was a hostile and unsafe place, but for our pack members’ sake, he had to go and negotiate with Alpha Keith’s side.”

Myra stayed silent. Sara continued, ”When the day of his departure arrived, I told him to take Delta Ryan, Gamma Janet and some of our most trusted pack warriors. I was getting this odd feeling again, so I urged him. He was reluctant to leave me so Matthew stayed with me.”

Alaric and Brave knew all about what happened. They were old enough at that time. But Dion was barely three and Elio and especially Nora, were not even born then. So, they knew nothing about it. Their elder brothers have always kept their lips sealed about why Noah wasn’t present when Sara was giving birth to Elio and Nora.

*Back to the time of Elio and Nora’s birth*

Noah left for Half Shade Lunar Pack, which is about three hours’ drive away from Moon Shine Pack. It was a two day business trip.

On the first day, everything seemed fine and normal. Noah even mind linked Sara about Alpha Keith’s health which wasn’t all that good at that time. After all he was getting old.

But on the second day, Sara had to go on an urgent business. There was a rural human tribe which was under Moon Shine Pack’s jurisdiction. The public hospital in that area was undergoing construction and renovations. During that, a grave accident occurred.

The building neurosurgery building which was getting renovated collapsed, in which five labors were seriously injured and one had lost his life. Matthew was discussing some company stuff with Sara when this news came in.

While going, Noah had specifically ordered Matthew not to let Sara get stress under any circumstances. But this information about the collapsed building, he wasn’t able to hide it because the hospital director directly called the pack office, where Sara was already there.

When Sara heard it, she immediately got up and wanted to know the current situation. After all, her people’s lives were at stake, she couldn’t just sit inside a nice house and wait for news.

Matthew opposed to that, stating that Noah has strictly prohibited her from indulging in any such stressful situations. But Sara insisted, she was adamant on going, ”Matthew Shaw, I am the Luna of this pack and my people need me,” She said firmly.

Matthew didn’t budge. He was someone who was known to follow orders till death. But Sara didn’t back down, instead she said, ”I will do my duty for my people. You will do yours by protecting me. I command you as Moon Shine Pack’s Luna.”

Matthew was left in a bind. He didn’t have any choice but to accompany Sara. They both didn’t wasted anytime and departed for the public hospital.

The hospital was situated at the outskirts of Moon Shine Pack borders and was about an hour drive away. Brave was left behind with Dion while Alaric came with Sara and Matthew.

While, on the way, Matthew kept on trying to mind link Noah but it seemed like Noah was blocking it. After several failed attempts he understood, that Noah must be in a meeting with the Half Shade Lunar’s leader.

They reached the disaster scene as it was a wreaking chaos. Matthew urged, ”Luna, I will go and check. You stay here.” Then he turned to Alaric, who was occupying the backseat with his mother, ”Young Alpha Alaric, will you look after your mother. I will just be back.”

Alaric nodded with confidence, ”Don’t worry, you go. I am here for my mother.” Although, he was just a five year old kid, he was already at the level of genius and a prodigy. So, Matthew trusted his words and said, ”It won’t take long.”

Sara looked outside the tinted window. The scene before her eyes was tumultuous. The victims’ families were protesting outside the hospital building demanding explanation and asking for necessary compensations. A large crowd was gathered and it was getting difficult for other patients and their families, so the hospital security had to intervene.

This enraged the protesters even more. They started throwing pebbles and stones at security personnel’s and the conflict intensified.

When Matthew arrived to the scene, his commanding and assertive appearance made everyone silent. For a few minutes, things seemed to have settled down and Sara, when she saw this, she sighed in relief.

But just when she thought, that Matthew have handled everything, someone from the crowd dashed a brick towards Matthew and started cursing at him, ”You monster. You think you can just throw some dimes and change at us and everything will be fine. You~ I JUST WANT MY DAVID BACK.”

Matthew dodged just in time but the hospital director became tensed. He tried to calm the lady down, who was crying hysterically and cussing at Matthew and him nonstop. Matthew, as a Beta has dealt with such situations. He calmly approached the lady.

At first, the lady was a bit intimidated by his sheer stature and physique.

Matthew started, his tone humble but serious, ”Ma’am, my condolences on your partner’s sudden loss. We will try to accommodate and compensation you in any possible way.” He said regretfully.

”Compensation, what kind of compensation can you even give me? I just want David back,” the lady started crying and begging. She was genuinely sad and grieving for her partner, Davis’s death. She was pregnant as her belly was showing. Matthew instructed the hospital director to take care of her well and report anything necessary.

He then talked to the other families. Meanwhile, a certain man had already seen the car from which Matthew had come out. He sneaked out of the crowd and made his way towards the flashy looking black Mercedes Benz.

Sara’s entire focus was on how Matthew was handling the situation. Alaric was busy mind linking Brave about what was happening, so he also didn’t sense the man’s presence.

The nasty looking man stealthily came towards the car and threw a brick at car’s backseat with full force. Both Sara and Alaric were caught off guard and were startled by the sudden attack.

The man started yelling and screaming, ”You pigs. You think you can buy us with your filthy money. Not a chance, I will ruin your fancy car and everything else.” Matthew zapped towards them but many others have joined the man by now and were slinging stones and rods and whatever that came in their hands.

Initially, the plan was to calm the victims’ families and then Sara would approach and talk to them one by one and listen to their problems. But now that the things have escalated, she halted her plan to step out.

It was not because she was afraid but in her condition, if she tried to intervene her babies may get harmed in the process.

Sara gripped Alaric’s hand very tightly. He was getting agitated and wanted to confront the bullies. The sudden stress and anxiety had sent Sara in panicked state as her water broke.
