Mated To My Best Friend's Lycan Alpha Brothers novel Chapter 537

Chapter 537: I Belong With You

(Author’s POV)

"I called for him," Myra spoke, her voice hoarse and tired.

Both Alaric and Elio looked back as Elio reached for Myra’s hand. "Myra~ .... are you okay? Are you feeling dizzy? Should I take you to the hospital?"

Myra, with a lethargic gaze, shook her head, "No~ ... I am fine."

"But~ ... but, what happened to you? How did your injury~ ...." Elio’s voice shook, with pain, with confusion as he clamped Myra’s hand tightly.

"I slipped while taking a shower. Alaric only helped me," she lied, then looked at Alaric, who averted her eyes. He knew she hadn’t fully recovered. He knew he had gone too far. But in that moment, overwhelmed by those stifling emotions, he had almost done something horrible. Alex, in his mind, remarked, ’Even after how many harsh and cruel words you used for her, what you did to her, she is still not exposing you. Instead, protecting you in front of Elio, helping you to maintain your dignity. And you were trying to break the bond. She could have died, Alaric.’

Myra’s reason for lying was simple. First, she didn’t want anyone to know what happened inside the bathroom and just bury it as a bad experience. And second, she didn’t want the Everests brothers to fight against each other because of her.

Elio nodded his head, believing in her words. He then inquired, looking at Alaric, "But why did she call for you at this time?"

"I got some information about Zara and Wyatt Long, which she wanted to know," Alaric answered.

"You could have given her that in the morning," Elio said. He was a bit agitated. From what the scene unveiled, he could guess that Alaric had helped Myra into fresh clothes, meaning he had stripped her and seen her naked body. The thought alone was infuriating. But on one side, his mind channelled a conflicting thought, ’If Brother Al hadn’t come in time, what would have happened to Myra?’

In a soft voice, Myra spoke again, clutching his hand back, "Eli~ .... don’t blame him. I’m tired and want to get some sleep."

Pursing his lips, Elio hummed, "I will stay with you then."

Myra’s eyelids flinched as she immediately said, "No, you don’t need to. I am fine."

"No way, if you don’t want me to stay. I will have to tell your mother and father about your condition," Elio said.

"She was, but I~ .... my wolf, Leo and I~ ... ever since you left, we both were devastated. We were left bereft. Promise one thing: you will never disappear again. Never," Elio spoke, trying to lace his fingers with hers, but Myra acted first. Pulling her hand away from his grip, she answered, "I won’t do it again."

Elio looked at his hand. It felt empty, lonely, forlorn all of a sudden. Even though Myra was right in front of him, he could feel the invisible distance between them. This feeling of estrangement was crushing his spirit and wounding his soul.

Being alone with her, this was the perfect opportunity to tell her about the mate bond binding the two of them. Leo was eagerly encouraging him to confess, ’Eli, you couldn’t tell her before, but now is our chance. Myra is the fated mate the heavenly moon goddess has herself gifted us. You should confess to her about the sacred bond.’

Elio was unsure of whether to tell her now or not, but hearing his wolf, he concluded and decided to finally tell her. He started with, "Myra~ .... do you know anything about the mate bond?"

Myra’s eyes trembled at his question; her hand, which was gripping the quilt, crushed it.

Elio continued, "We, werewolves, have destined mates chosen by the goddess of the moon. Once we find that person, our destiny, our souls, our lives, they become one with that person. We can instantly recognize them in a crowd full of people. We can feel the other one’s happiness, their joy, their sorrow, their pain. They belong with each other~ ... for eternity and beyond. He stared straight into her hazels and said, "I belong with you, Myra. I belong with you."
