Mated To My Best Friend's Lycan Alpha Brothers-Chapter 138: What Are You Doing?

(Author’s POV)

"I did some digging on Ms. Miracle’s background secretly regarding Ms. Miracle and that orphanage. You already know that Nora and Ms. Miracle were registered at that orphanage on the exact same day, right?" Noah asked Alaric.

"Mm~hmm, I know that information father. We already did a background check. But, what of it?" Alaric replied with a frown mixed with curiosity.

"Well .... Quite surprisingly, after doing some deep check what I found out is that not just the day was the same, even the time when they were registered was same as well. They both were newborn infants when they were brought to that orphanage, Al. Do you get what I mean?" Noah looked at Alaric.

"No, I don’t." Alaric was confused by his father’s puzzling words.

Noah sighed, closed his eyes and said in a straightforward manner this time, "Ms. Miracle is the same age as our daughter. They were admitted to the same orphanage, same day as well as same time. As if, as is they were brought together. And also, there is one more thing. Her face, it is a bit familiar with someone we know. Someone from ’that family.’ Do you understand what I am trying to say now?" Noah implied.

"Wait~ wh~ what? Soooo .... What you are trying to tell me ..... is that ... she is .... that human peas~, I mean that human girl is that person? Is it true?" Alaric was dumfounded by this sudden revelation.

This time, Sara chimed in, "Although, we still have our doubts and it is not yet fully verified. But~, but there is a possibility that Ms. Miracle is the lost child that was kidnapped with Nora. And, if she is that girl, then it is our duty to take care of her, Al. Do you understand what we mean?"

Alaric didn’t say anything and was left speechless for a few seconds. He buried his face in his hands as he was trying to process what his parents were telling him. Alex commented, ’Al, I also think what your parents are saying, makes sense. She can be that girl, the lost baby.’

Sara and Noah didn’t say anything to him more. They just looked at him as they waited for him to reply.

Out of the blue, Alaric started shaking. Both his parents were taken aback but the next second he burst out laughing, puzzling his parents. "Why are you laughing like that, Al? Is something funny?" Sara was confused with his behavior. She thought her son has lost his mind.

This time, he laughed even louder, replying while wiping away an invisible tear from the corner of his eyes, "Don’t you think it is too much of a coincidence? If suppose, she is that girl, shouldn’t the kidnappers have already buried her somewhere? How can she be still alive and well? She is just a human being, after all. Why will they not kill her to make things easier for them. Why will they register her at the orphanage with Nora? It is odd, how I look at it."

"Alaric Everests, you are being disrespectful. And, why can’t it just be a mere coincidence? Yes, I agree. It is quite puzzling that whosoever is behind all this, didn’t kill her right away. But we don’t know the reason regarding that or their intention. I know you don’t like her but it is not ok to pass any judgement for now." Sara was offended as she clapped back at him.

Alaric became serious. He apologized, "I am sorry mother, but I will be honest with both of you. From the way I am seeing things, it sounds shady to me. As if someone is deliberately trying to pose her as that lost child." He declared.

Noah and Sara remained silent. Alaric started explaining, "Okay, let me explain, my point of view. We did a background check earlier, right, where no such thing was discovered, hmm? But now, all of a sudden, when you did a discreet check, there are angles which points out that she is that kidnapped girl, hmm? Also, from the moment she had stepped into our pack house, strange things have happened. There are constant conflicts and danger lurking around us. She is always getting injured, as if she is trying to grab our attention. And the incident with Brave. Despite not having an active wolf, my brother has always been fine and well. He still is the best warrior amongst us. But he was fatally injured, by some unknown wolves, who breached our tight security and even managed to escape."

"Not just that, I have more to say. Ms. Miracle, she was near when all this was happening and then the incident with that orb pendant. His wolf waking up and chasing after her, calling her his mate. All of this is indicating one thing. That she is not that simple. I am not saying she isn’t that girl. I am just saying that there is more to it," Alaric concluded his theory. He didn’t mention about his wolf calling her mate or his younger brothers showing interest in her, getting cozy with her. He had way too many doubts about Myra and about her identity.

The room fell into complete and utter silence, only the crackling sound of wooden logs burning could be heard, as neither him nor his parents spoke for a few minutes.

Sara and Noah both glanced at each other as if communicating silently. They, then turned towards Alaric as Noah said, "We understand what you are trying to say here, Al. But first of all, we need to be hundred percent sure, whether she is the lost kid or not. And for that, we need her to stay here for the time being. So, that we can run a DNA test on her."

Alaric raised his concerns, "DNA test? How will you do that? She does not know and I don’t think you will tell her about your doubts. And also, there is that thing with her potential mother."

A collective and long sigh escaped all of them as a daunting task was left ahead of them.

Myra somehow managed to return back to her room. As soon as the door was shut, her legs gave away and she crouched down, burying her head in her hands. Her head was buzzing with constant conflicting as well as weird thoughts. She was struck between a rock and a hard place as she didn’t know what to do.

When she had left the room earlier, she was determined to go back to Damona and cut ties with Nora and all the Everests. But after listening Sara and Noah’s sincere words and pleadings, her heart wasn’t agreeing with what her mind wanted.

Myra still wanted to return home but Sara’s broken and tattered face, who was anxious for her son’s well being came to her mind, shaking her resolve thoroughly.

She remembered all the kind gestures that this family has shown her throughout her stay. Apart from Alaric, everyone has treated her well, there was no doubting that. They treated her like their own. Then she recalled, her brief encounters with Brave. He was not just polite and distant towards her, but was also respectful and never tried to cross the boundary. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

His blood-soaked face and battered body came to her mind and unknowingly, her heart ached for him. She was too fear stricken to process anything last night and too angry to understand anything this morning but now that she was calm and thinking, she realized she never asked anyone about how Brave was fairing. She started feeling guilty.

"I should probably visit him first and then decide on anything," she mumbled to herself. She went to the bathroom, to fix her disheveled self, took something out of her bag and made her way towards Brave’s room.

His room was just around the corner. With heavy but determined steps she stood right in front of his room as she gathered her thoughts before entering. She was about to knock on the door when she realized the door was already slightly ajar.

She walked inside and was a little taken aback by Yona’s presence.

Actually, Yona’s presence wasn’t surprising. She was a staff member so her being there and taking care of Brave wasn’t odd in the least. But where she was sitting and her body language spoke volumes.

From what Myra saw, Yona was the only one inside the room and was sitting on Brave’s bed as her hands were lingering on his bare chest. Her face changed as it was discomforting for her to see this. She frowned and asked authoritatively, "What are you doing, Ms. Yona?"

Yona got flustered by the sudden intrusion as she didn’t hear any footsteps. She instantly got up and started making excuses, without looking at Myra’s face, "I am sorry. I was just wiping off young master’s body. He was sweating so, I was just helping him."

Realizing something, she raised her head to see Myra with a penetrating gaze, ’What is she doing here? I thought it was Nora who had come inside. And what’s with that tone?’ She frowned and changed her demeanor in a flash.
