Mated To My Best Friend's Lycan Alpha Brothers novel Chapter 51

Chapter 51: Hypnotized By The Opal

(Author’s POV)

All the Everests siblings were in a mind linking conference as for Myra, she was too caught up in her own inner monologue.

"Ora, you went to the underground auction, that too all alone? You know it is dangerous for you to go to such a place." Alaric questioned in a reprimanding tone.

"Nora, we all have been searching for that pendant since, since that incident, how did you even found it?" Dion added.

Elio chimed in, "Now I know why you were asking me questions about the auction earlier, but you should have told me about it from the start, Nor. I would have accompanied you. Alaric is right, it isn’t safe for you."

Brave was in a daze and kept on gazing at the opal. He caressed the pendant gently with his thumb, like it was a baby. After all, it was a rare gemstone, only one of a kind. It was said that the stone possessed some special powers. One of it was bring back a sleep wolf. This opal could help Brave in awakening his wolf, Raw.

Nora replied, "I’m sorry Brother Alaric but I didn’t went alone there. I went there just out of curiosity and plus I too am a Lycan alpha wolf" she ended it at that.

They broke the mind link and then Nora said, "Brother, let me help you with it." She got up, taking the pendant from Brave’s hand and walked behind him to help him wear it. When Brave sported the opal, everybody was looking at him with anticipation. The eagerness and curiosity was clear in their pupils.

Brave too was quite hopeful, he closed his eyes and concentrated to call for Raw, "Buddy, Raw, can you hear me, hmmm? Can you feel me? Are you there?"

There was nothing but silence in his mind, no reply came back whatsoever. Brave again tried with a determined expression, but still no one spoke in his mind.

Seeing what was happening, all the Everests siblings’ expectations were ducked. An eerie silence was maintained for a few minutes. None of them said anything, how could they? That gem was their last resort after all. For them, the opal was like a mirage in a desert, merely an illusion.

Brave’s face fell after trying so hard, the mood of the gathering dampening. He got up; his hands fisted and excused himself, running straight towards the dense woods.

Nora tried to call him from behind but Alaric stopped her, "Let him be, he needs time to cope with it. Maybe he’ll concentrate better when he’s alone. And if it doesn’t work, we’ll definitely find another way." He assured Nora but couldn’t do it to himself.

Alex was also devastated by what conspired, because just like the twins, he and Raw were connected with a special twin bond. He vowed in Alaric’s head, ’YES, we will find a way, for sure. We will.’

Although, the atmosphere turned tensed, one person wasn’t even there in the mix.

Ever since Brave wore that jewel piece, Myra was attracted by it. Her eyes were glued to it as if she was hypnotized. She didn’t follow any of the conversation which was happening between the siblings.

And when Brave got up and left, she too got up wanting to follow him. Suddenly, Elio grabbed her hand, asking, "Where are you going Myra? Is everything fine?" This broke Myra’s trance state as she was dumbfounded. Creasing her eyebrows she thought, ’Why am I standing? Where was I going? What just happened?’

Alaric commented playfully, "Stop being over dramatic all the time."

Elio on the other hand got a rather peculiar gift. Taking it out, he asked, "What to do with this?"

"It’s to unlock your locked up close up brain, twinnie" Nora teased Elio, making a face at him. Elio played along with her, gesturing for the key which he received, to unlock his brain, "As you asked, it’s unlatched, now what?"

All the others were stifling their laughter at Elio’s antics. Nora gave everyone a once over then looked at Elio with an eyebrow raised, "Didn’t you always wanted your own island?"

Elio’s eyes lit up when he heard Nora’s words, "You ....., is it ...., are you ....., are you serious, Nor? But how did you, how did you even know?"

"Aren’t you my twinnie after all, this much is a piece of cake" Nora shrugged her shoulders, not giving any other information. Elio ran towards Nora and kissed her cheeks, embracing her tightly.

Seeing all this, Myra’s self-confidence which was already low from the earlier comparison, plummet even more. She was feeling more and more small. For a confident person like Myra, it was a first for her.
