Chapter 31
(Author’s POV)
Myra was still in her dreamy world when Dion carried her inside the house. It was dead silent as it was already past ten in the evening. All the servants were done with their daily tasks. Only Nora and Elio were waiting for their arrival in the hallway.
Surprise flashed in both their eyes when they saw a scene out of Déjà vu.
Elio anxiously jumped in front of Dion and Myra, “Wh-what, what happened to her?” there was a slight tremor in his tone, which he soon concealed.
Nora’s eyes darkened when she saw Myra’s current messy condition. Myra’s face was flushed like she was on fire; her lips were off color and pale, her hair were disheveled. Nora was a perspective person after all. She immediately knew something must have transpired between the two. Still she gulped the brimming anger inside her and asked, “Brother Dion, why is Myra in such a state p>
Dion didn’t make eye contact with either of his siblings, which was quite unlike of him. He was always so confident and upfront.
In between of this mess and confrontation, Myra woke up groggily with a slightly angry Nora and a worried Elio in sight. Her eyes were dry and still very puffy, she squinted them to get a good look at the current scenario. Then, she saw her current predicament, she was in Dion’s arms and he had a somewhat regretful expression plastered on his face.
Seeing that Myra was awake, Nora came forward, “What happened to you Myra? What did Brother Dion do to you?” she sort of lashed out and growled. Myra has never seen Nora in such a manner. To keep the situation at bay, Myra eased Nora up saying, her tone gravel, “Nor, Dion did nothing, *cough cough* it was my own mistake p>
Elio interrupted, “But what happened, why are you running a fever all of a sudden p>
“Aaaa~, *heavy sigh*, It’s just one of those days” Myra said vaguely.
Nora was too out of the zone to understand Myra’s ambiguous words; she thought Myra wasn’t telling anything because Dion was her brother.
This pissed Nora even more, she looked at Dion with a venomous gaze, her wolf was overpowering her, “Brother, tell me the truth. What did you do to her?” Dion and Elio could feel a minimal earthquake under their feet. The place was shaking from Nora’s wrath.
Dion and Elio were dumbstruck seeing Nora’s rage. She and her wolf both were very protective of Myra, they knew about that. But seeing her like this wasn’t something they were expecting.
Myra sensed the deep anger within Nora’s voice and rubbed her hand on her forehead, “Nora, it’s just, it’s just the first day of… my periods, that’s all.” There was awkward silence among the group. Nora knew about Myra ghastly mensuration cycle. On her first day, Myra always runs a faint fever. But this time, because of what happened at the lake house with Dion her condition worsened. Her emotional state affected her physical health gravelly.
Nora’s nose itched, as she bit her inner cheek feeling remorseful towards Dion and how she has almost lost control of her emotions. Both the men on the scene didn’t say much, but were stunned by how Nora reacted. Never in the past two months, had such a thing happened, where their baby sister was so vexed about something.
Dion composed himself and said, “Let’s take Myra to her room first p>
Nora didn’t say anything but was feeling guilty inside, she silently followed them.
From a distance, a silhouette of someone saw everything that has transpired. The person clenched his claws tightly, his knuckles turning blue. He growled with rage and stormed off.
In Myra’s room, Dion tucked Myra in her bed securely. Elio came forward and checked her condition, the thermometer indicating her temperature was quite high then normal. As Andrew didn’t reside within the mansion or the pack, Elio asked Dion, “Dion, call for Andrew, now p>
Dion was about to give a call when Myra stopped him gesturing, “No need, it will be gone. Please, don’t call anybody. I just want to rest for now” she said almost pleadingly. In this state as well, she didn’t wanted to disturb others. She knew her condition best.
They didn’t press further, as it was decided that Nora would stay with her to take care of her and keep her company for the night. They said their good nights and left Myra’s room. When Dion was leaving, he looked one more time at the fragile figure on the bed, his conscience was guilty. He knew Myra’s condition was his fault but Myra didn’t utter a word about it, which made it all the more suffocating for him.
Nora stopped Dion outside Myra’s room, “Brother Dion, I am really sorry, I got anxious because of Myra’s condition. I shouldn’t have blamed you and have listened to you first” her head dropped, shoulders were slumped.
Dion gave her a brief smile and ruffled her hair, “Nor, I didn’t take it to heart. I know how you were feeling about Myra at that time. So, don’t think about it too much” and walked off. Elio patted Nora’s shoulder teasing, “I didn’t know you had such a side to you, hmm baby sister, not bad, you are quite scary p>
Nora feigned annoyance and punched lightly on Elio shoulders. Then, she changed into her pajamas and went to Myra’s room. Myra was sound asleep at that time, so Nora pulled the covers over Myra’s shoulders, brought a bowl of cold water and wiped Myra’s forehead with a wet cloth. Soon, Myra’s temperature dropped and Nora settled herself beside Myra and dozed off.
For the coming days, Myra didn’t leave the mansion and tried to avoid the Everests sibling as much as possible. She strolled in her wheelchair only when there was Nora with her, otherwise she would always be stuck in her room.
