Mated To My Best Friend's Lycan Alpha Brothers

(Author’s POV)

Fabian stepped out of the bathroom with nothing but a towel wrapping around his lower body. His damp hair were rumpled, his after shower body was glistening with pearl like water beads making him look his true ethereal self.

On daily basis, Fabian either wore casual outfits or professional wear so his body was mostly covered. But underneath all those layers, he had a well toned, lean body, like a precious art sculpture. He walked lazily towards the dresser, while towel drying his damp hair.

Placing the now moist towel on the chair’s headrest, he looked at himself in the mirror with a penetrating gaze. The old yet ugly scar beneath the left side of his chest was standing out on his otherwise pristine figure, reminding him of exactly who he was. His mother’s side of the bloodline, his real identity which he always defied. It reminded him of the very reason why his mother wanted to live a normal life like any other human and never told him about her real self.

”How will Myra react when she knows who I truly am? Is she going to feel betrayed? Will she run away from me and hide somewhere, like she did with her friend, Nora Everests?” Fabian mumbled to himself, his voice breaking. ”Will she cut ties with me and leave me stranded here, all alone?”

”No, she can never know what I am, who I am. I don’t want to be like this. I didn’t choose to be. I am nothing like those bloodsucking beings. I am a human, just like my father, just like my mother had taught me. I am a full fledged human being,” he mumbled reassuring himself.

Another voice inside him, spoke, ’But you are half vampire as well Fabian. You cannot deny your royal bloodline, your existence. If Myra knows about it, she will do exactly what she did with those Everests. She will ghost you and disappear to some faraway land, never to be seen again.’

”NOOO, I won’t let it happen. She will never know about me being a vampire hybrid. I will make sure of it,” he said to himself, in a loud and clear voice.

’And what will you do about those damn filthy Lycans. They have been searching for Myra all over the place from the past one year. Their sister, the Lycan princess, she has been Myra’s childhood friend. If they somehow see Myra here, in Esteria, they will try to take her with them to their pack, for their sister’s sake,’ the voice spoke again, mockingly.

”I won’t let that happen either. They won’t step foot inside the university campus. I have arranged everything meticulously. They won’t be anywhere near Myra or even her family. I won’t even let her scent get out of this place and reach them. Esteria is a big city, they are never going to meet Myra,” Fabian was determined to protect, to shield what he thought was truly his.

A year ago, the Everests made news headlines when they announced to the whole world that they have finally found their long lost daughter, their youngest child who was kidnapped just after being born from a human hospital. They didn’t reveal her name or any other detail. But word got out quickly about the lavish, extravagant birthday banquet the Everests have prepared for their hidden daughter and her twin brother, whose name was Elio Everests.

Fabian, who has been keeping tabs on the Everests family from a longtime, got the information and he was perked up by it.

He wanted to attend the gathering, but as expected, there was no way the werewolves were going to extend an invitation to anyone from the Vampire Clan. So, he tried to attend in disguise but that strategy failed as well because the security around the Moon Shine Pack was orderly, too tight to breach without alerting anyone. So, in the end he couldn’t attend.

There weren’t any new information or leaked images from the banquet about Nora which Fabian could use. He tried everywhere, every link, but he couldn’t find anything. All he could get was the Lycan princess’s name, Nora Everests.

But, as if, luck was favoring him. One day, Fabian entered his grandfather’s study to discuss some matter with Jacob. As he entered, the study was too quiet as Jacob hasn’t arrived yet. He didn’t want enter the place without its owner but something inside him told him to just wait inside. So, he did just that.

He marched forward, towards the guest couch but as he was passing by, his eyes caught something unusual. There was a collection of photos, scattered across the glass study table. Fabian, although not the type to mingle in peeking and such activity, got curious for once.

From where he was standing, he could see an upside down image of a female wearing dark purple evening gown wearing a jeweled crown.

He tried to stop himself but curiosity got the better of him and he walked towards the other side of table to get a clear look. There in the image, was an unfamiliar girl, with dark brown hair and in that purple outfit, her face circled. The picture seems like it was taken in a gathering or banquet. His eye lingered to another image of a girl in sheath red gown, her innocent, charming face piqued his interest as he adjusted his glasses to observe closer. Her face too was circled.

’Why is he looking at young girls’ photos and even marking it? Has he gone truly senile because of his ancient age?’ Fabian thought inside his head as he shook his head in disapproval.

He was about to walk away but there was another photo that caught his attention. He narrowed his eyes and stared at it carefully but didn’t touch any photo as to not alert his grandfather.

As soon as he saw the people sitting on the couch like royalty, his face turned icy cold. It was a family picture of the Everests. In the middle were the Lycan King and his Luna, Noah Everests and Sara Everests. Behind them, stood Alaric, Brave, Dion and Elio. Fabian had seen all of them before but what made him raise his eyebrows were the two unfamiliar girls from before. They were in that picture too.

The sudden realization dawned on him as he could tell that the one wearing the diamond embedded diadem must be the famous Lycan princess, Nora Everests. But the other girl, who was she? To be in a family portrait with the Lycan royals, it was no small thing. But that girl had distinct facial features from the Everests, she even looked out of place, wearing a stiff smile.

Fabian took out his phone and snapped each picture for his future plans and after completing his task, he made a bee line and went out of the study.

After doing some digging, Fabian got to know what was the relationship between that girl and the Everests. When he got to know that that Lycan family held Myra in high regard, he forged a plan to approach Myra and to get more information from her. After all, she was a small town human girl who could be wheedled.

And luckily, he soon got the perfect opportunity when he got to know that Myra’s family was also close with the Yates.

He planned his every move discreetly, with precision. He was polite and humble with Myra. He helped her by all means and even gave her small gifts of gratitude to score points. But to his surprise, this insignificant human girl was always on guard around him. She didn’t flirt nor did she give in to his innocent act or anything. She kept most of the people at arm’s length, always keeping her walls high.

Soon, he became interested in Myra. He wanted to know more about her. The time he spent with her started feeling meaningful to him. After a long time, he felt alive, he felt different. His interest gradually changed into something more, something deep; affection, attraction, you can call it whatever. But unintentionally, he had started to develop feeling for Myra Miracle.

________________________

And now, the bud of affection has bloomed beautiful inside his heart and it was growing day by day, second by second. But with these feelings came the weight of his guilt.

He has always been afraid about the possibilities of Myra vanishing someday.

Clenching his fist tightly, he vowed to himself, ”Nothing would happen. This is my territory. Those Lycans won’t be able to reach her. No one can take her away from me.”
