Mated To My Best Friend's Lycan Alpha Brothers novel Chapter 357

Chapter 357: Your Friend’s Name?

(Author’s POV)

"What’s with the barrage of allegations towards my brother, huhh? What did Alaric do to get such an earful?" Brave Everests queried. "And~ .... You kept on mentioning your other friend? What has happened? Care to tell?"

He posed question after question, making Yelena feel like a deer caught in the headlights. Stiffened by his words, she lowered her gaze, finding the crown on the nurse’s scalp, who was busy cleaning and dressing her wound, interesting.

She didn’t know what or how to give him an answer without mentioning anything about Myra. In the heat of the moment, she had blabbered too much. Now, she was like a spider trapped in its own web.

Yelena tried to take a glimpse at his facial expression, but when she lifted her chin a fraction of an inch, the guy was already looking straight at her, his gaze unreadable. Arching his right brow, he added casually, "I remember you were being quite talkative earlier. What now~ ... cat got your tongue or something~ ... hmm?"

"M~ ... Mr.~ ... Mr. Everests, it was~ ...." She started, nervousness screaming out of her every being. She tried to make up some words, any excuse, any reason.

"It’s Brave," he voiced indifferently. "Uhh~?" Yelena gave him a look full of puzzlement as he repeated, "It is not Mr. Everests but ... Brave."

She moistened her lips and nodded tentatively. A bulb lit up in her head as she mumbled, "Actually~ .... umm~ .... What happened is that~ .... Mr. Alaric~ .... he came to visit our university today. My~ ... my friend ... she was tasked to accompany him to show him around the campus. But~ .... she hadn’t returned home yet. So, I~"

"So, you accused my brother of doing something to her? Only because of that?" Brave was bewildered by her vague reasoning. "Hehh~ ... you know that makes no sense for your outburst. What are you trying to hide? Out with it."

Caught by his sharp observation, Yelena pressed her lips in a thin line. Then, clasping her hands together, she continued, "Actually .... The college forum was full of malicious comments aiming towards my friend. So~ .... I got a bit too emotionally charged." Her voice faded at the end.

Brave gave her a skeptical look. Finding that this was the perfect time, she asked, "Umm~ .... can you~ .... ask your brother about her?" She finally said, her voice came out more like a plea. He remained mum for a brief second.

Yelena thought he was going to decline, but he took out his phone and dialled Alaric’s number straightaway.

He could have chosen to mindlink, but he knew Alaric, despite being blessed with the strength equivalent to a ton of elephants, had exerted a lot of energy while rescuing Jacob, plus he was badly injured, he had noticed. So, it was safer to make a call. After a series of ringing, the call connected as Alaric’s gravelly, exhaustion filled voice echoed from the other end, "Yeah~ Rave."

"Al, how’s the situation at your end?" Brave asked, his voice muffled as he gave a glance towards the girl sitting meekly in front of him. She quickly averted her gaze.

Alaric didn’t say anything for the first few seconds. Then he exhaled a weary sigh and spoke, "Chris Shadow had driven us to the Larson Mansion. He had already informed the Blood Fangs Clan medical team. The Clan doctors are examining him in his room right now. I am in a separate room waiting for the report."

Brave nodded, "And what about your hand? How’s it now?" he inquired with a hint of concern.

"What about it?" Alaric countered back as he took a look at his free hand.

Because of all the mayhem, he hadn’t realized that his palm, with the silver dagger induced mark, was painted with blood. When he was dismantling the kelps with his bare, bleeding hands, a few salmon fish and a catfish were attracted by that exotic scent and started attacking him already leaking hand. As his focus was entirely on getting Jacob out of the mess, he hadn’t noticed that the catfish had sunk its teeth into his scarred hand.

Normally, for a werewolf, an injury like that shouldn’t have been serious and even would have healed by now, but this one didn’t.

Alaric traced his injury with his other hand and lied, his voice nonchalant, "Just a scratch. Already healed up."

"Umm~ ..." Brave hummed. Then he finally asked, "Al~ .... Umm~ .... Actually, I want to ask you something about someone."

"What is it? Why do you sound so off? What’s with the formal tone, Rave?" Alaric questioned. "Ask away."

"There is a girl~ .... What did you say your name was?" Brave turned his attention back to Yelena as he covered his phone with his hand.

’How funny. You have been talking and teasing her, but forgot to ask her name,’ Raw remarked inside his head.

"Yelena," she replied quickly. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
