Mated To My Best Friend's Lycan Alpha Brothers

(Author’s POV)

The day of departure

It was yet another bright and sunny day in Damona. The birds were chirping joyfully, squirrels scurrying in the background. The Miracles were already awake and out of their beds, busy with some last-minute packing and related stuff.

But in Kimberg, the weather had taken a drastic turn from the day before. It was gloomy with dark, thick black clouds looming in the sky. Lightening was striking as if, it was giving a sign of warning. The sound of thunderstorm was shrilling and core jolting.

The Everests were having their breakfast as usual as Nora commented, ”Just yesterday, the sky was all clear and shiny. But today~ ...... tsk” she shook her head with disappointment. She liked rains but the thunderclap and eerie sound made her feel uneasy and a tad bit restless.

”It is pouring relentlessly since last night. Alaric, what about your and Dion’s flight to Damona? At what time is it?” Sara asked as she took a bite of her fruit and nut oatmeal.

It is scheduled three hours from now. If the rain doesn’t ease up and persists like this, it will be delayed accordingly,” Alaric informed her as he took a sip of his freshly squeezed orange juice.

”Both the private planes have been sent for routine check. So, if we want to reach Damona, we have no choice to take the passenger plane,” Dion explained even further as he stretched his hand to take a pancake, not waiting for the omegas to serve him.

Brave suggested, ”Don’t rush in this weather. You can just reschedule your flight when the sky clears.”

”NO,” both Alaric and Dion’s voices echoed inside the dining room.

Every eye on the table and odd it, turned towards them with confusion.

Alaric cleared his throat and said in his characteristically nonchalant way, ”The sooner we reach, the better. Next week, there is a board meeting as well as the first hearing regarding the Elders case. So, I cannot afford to lose time.”

Dion also chimed in, ”I have also some stuff going on and busy next week. So~ .... Ummhmm~ .... Likewise.” He didn’t bother to explain in detail like his elder brother.

The rea reason was, they were eager to see Myra as soon as possible. They didn’t want to waited any longer. But the downpour was torrential, foreboding. There wasn’t much they could do.

Noah got up from his chair, buttoned his olive green suit and adjusted his cufflinks as he said, ”Nora, take you time with meal. When you are done. Matthew will take you to the company.”

”Dad, why bother Sir Matthew, I can just~” Nora tried to protest but her father shut it down.

”You will have to. There is no negotiation on this one. You already know there have been a lot of unknown presence lurking around in the dark. I am not going to take any risk. It is only for the time being,” Noah’s words were stern but concerned filled as well.

Sara backed him up, ”Your father is absolutely right, Nor. Although, you have a personal bodyguard but by being in Matthew’s presence you will learn a thing or two about business.”

Nora nodded as she didn’t have much choice. After saying his piece, Noah exited the dining hall.

Brave murmured, ”Al, you don’t have to worry. I am feeling much better after resting all day yesterday. I will be resuming my work at the office starting today. I will attend the board meeting.”

”No, you can’t,” Elio protested straightforwardly. ”You have just woken up yesterday. You may seem fine but you at least need a full week’s rest to completely regain your lost strength. Dr. Andrew has given strict orders.”

Sara as well as his other siblings also opposed the idea.

”You cannot strain your body. It is better to follow Dr. Andrew’s advice. He is the doctor and knows best,” Alaric commented.

”Yup, Brave. Otherwise, you will have to listening to Greg Andrew’s nagging. You know how scary he gets when he is truly angry. His lectures won’t stop and you will be drowned by them,” Dion teased him.

”I am not that weak. I can handle~ ... myself,” Brave felt a dull ache in his chest as well as head, making him uncomfortable. His face losing color as he fumbled with his words.

”What happened? Do you feel any discomfort, Brother Brave?” Elio asked as he rushed towards his brother’s side.

Brave waved him off as he composed himself, ”It is nothing serious. Just slight dizziness because of high dosage of medication.”

”See, that’s why we want you to rest. Brother Brave, you shouldn’t fuss like a child on this one. After all, more than work, your health is important,” Nora reprimanded him.

Brave licked his lips and gave up the idea, ”Ok, ok. I won’t go anywhere. Happy?”

Nora smiled and got up, ”I am done.” She went to Brave’s side pinched his cheeks, stretching them softly, she said, ”Once I comes home, I will spend more time with you. That way, you won’t feel bored.” Saying this, she rushed out of the dining hall as well.

Alaric was already done with his meal. As soon as he got up and was on his way to his room, he received a call from his secretary, Amanda. He picked it up and Amanda greeted him, jumping straight to the point, ”COO Everests, due to bad whether conditions, our flight is postponed.” She informed in her crisp, professional tone.

Alaric pinched his nose bridge, and asked, ”What is the rescheduled time?”

”There is no certainty yet but according to the weather forecast, the sky will clear in four to five hours. So~ ....” Amanda said.

”Ok, got it. Anything else?” Alaric cut her off and questioned.

”That’s it, COO Everests,” his secretary replied. The call disconnected and Alaric let out a sigh off frustration. He mind linked Dion about the same.

He returned to his room, close the door and looked at his packed luggage and silver suitcase in tow. Alex’s irritated voice filled his mind, ’Why today of all days? Why moon goddess? I was so excited to reunite with our mate but~ .... tskk. Nothing is going our way.’

’For the Nth time I am telling you. That girl is not my mate or your mate, she cannot be, she will not be. Got it. So, get out of your lovey dovey, puppy doggie act and behave like a wolf,’ Alaric barked as he loosened his collar as he felt hacked off by his wolf’s words. Saying his piece, he shut shoved his wolf at the back of his mind.

But Alex, as persistent and strong as he has always been, he said with gritted teeth, ’So, why do you feel so disappointed when you heard that the flight is postponed, huhh? How long will you live with this lie, Al? Why were you so excited when father mentioned to visit our mate’s house? The one putting on an act is you.’

’It is nothing but genuine sympathy and curtesy for the one who has helped my family. Ok, don’t twist it the other way,’ Alaric rebuked with counter words.

Alex scoffed, snorting at Alaric’s denial, ’You know, you are way to stubborn. You don’t know you own feelings. Sometimes, I really pity you.’

’Who even needs your pity?’ Alaric, with all his strength, shut his wolf out completely.

He and Alex have been in a deadlock situation because of a human girl and that frustrates him even more.

A mind link interrupted his messy thoughts. His shadow subordinates voice echoed, ’Young Alpha Alaric, I have some news.’

Alaric settled in a chair and uttered, ’Go ahead. What are your findings?’

’Regarding the unidentified grave which Vienna Clinton visit, it belongs to a male. I have gathered the DNA sample from the mortal remains of the deceased,’ his subordinate told him, with a straight voice.

’A male body? Are you sure about it? What about Amelia Clinton’s whereabouts? Is there any progress in that matter?’ he fired a flurry of questions.

’Yes, I dug the grave myself and checked it. The remains belong to a human male. Regarding Amelia Clinton, there is no news, no information. It is as if she has never even exited,’ the guy told him honestly.

’That is odd. Shade, I will be on overseas trip for a week. So, keep a watchful eye on the Clinton’s, especially Vienna Clinton and report back to me. I want every single detail,’ he ordered.

’Yes, young Alpha, I will,’ Shade replied and the mind link disconnected.

After finishing his meal, Dion was returning to his room when he saw Yona, dusting and cleaning the hallway. He gave her a cold glance; her back was towards him. Her body was slightly bent as she picked up a toppled showpiece, her tunic riding over her tights, her ass sticking out a bit usual.

Dion shook his head. For him it was a clear attempt to get his attention and seduce him. He had seen these tricks of hers before.

Yona turned around and startled when she saw Dion at some distance. She bowed her head and greeted meekly, ”Good Morning, Young Alpha Dion.”

Dion’s eyes narrowed at her neck which was covered but he straight away made a poker face and without acknowledging her, he went ahead.
