Myra's Flushed Face

(Author's POV)

It was nearly eight in the evening when there was a knock on the door to Myra's room. The door was opened and Noah entered wearing an all-black suit. He was giving off a strong and dominating vibe. 'He must have just arrived at home.' Behind him, everyone from the Everest family were present excluding one person.

"Ms. Miracle, how's your foot? Sara told me about what happened?" Noah asked with his usual aloof manner, but his worry and concern could be heard in his tone. Myra tried to get up, but after lying down for more than half a day her legs gave up and went numb, which made her stumble forward. Both Elio and Dion strided with a zap towards her, but she composed herself and just sat at the edge of the bed. She was shocked by their reaction time and frowned; 'Seriously, they were standing behind Noah and Sara, about five meters away from me. How can the both of them reach out to me in a mere nanosecond? This doesn't sit right with me, to be honest.'

For millisecond, she saw a hesitant look in Noah as well as Sara's eyes. Even Nora looked like she has a secret that she wanted to conceal at all cost. Sara changed the topic abruptly saying, "Myra, I have good news for you. Tomorrow morning, the custom made wheelchair will arrive. I know you must be feeling bored in this cramped room all by yourself. So it will be helpful for you to nove easily and then you can dine with us as usual."

Myra's smiled and tried to decline politely, "Sara, thank you for your concerns but it is just a temporary injury and I don't need a wheelchair for it. Maybe tomorrow morning my foot will be all healed up."

"You don't need to stand on ceremony and decline dear. It's just a wheelchair" Sara insisted.

Actually, as they were all werewolves in the pack house, they didn't have such equipment beforehand. And only the best was owned by the Everest's, so the wheelchair which Sara mentioned was especially ordered directly from the manufacturer of the best brand there is, which would take at least a day to ship.

"Ms. Miracle, you are our honorable guest and it is our responsibility to take care of you." Noah said in a commanding manner. Now, Myra didn't want to be rude to any of them and just nodded in return to their persuasion.

"Ohh, Mom and Dad, you forgot to tell one more thing to her" Nora chimed in.

Myra looked at them with a confused look. Sara announced happily, "This Saturday, it's Nora and Elio's birthday, her first one with us, her actual twentieth birthday. So we have planned a grand banquet to celebrate and introduce her to everyone in our circle.

Nora added, "Soo, you and I are going to go shopping tomorrow in the afternoon" and winked at me.

Myra initially wanted to say no, but when she looked at Sara's expectant eyes she didn't say anything, 'I will talk to Nora about this when we are all alone, I don't require anything. They are being too accomodating and spoiling' Myra made a mental note. With that, everyone exited the room; just Brave with his dark and gloomy aura stood there for a while and stared at her for a good while and without saying anything left her room.

Myra narrowed her eyes as she was left alone again, 'The people here are extremely nice to me, but they sure are odd, and the most weird ones are the elder twins. Now that I think about it, the other twin, I didn't see him. He must be home by now. Anyways, who cares?'

'But, I should talk about it to Nora. I don't want them to spend too much money on me. That's definitely not right. I am feeling more and more indebted to them.'

As the clock struck ten, there was another knock at Myra's door.

"Come in"

The door soon opened and in came Elio, in his night wear. He adorned a blackish grey shorts and a black vest above it. When Myra looked his way, her breath hitched in her throat. She blinked rapidly; Elio's biceps were on full display, he was flexing his well toned physique. Earlier during the day, Elio was wearing a sweat shirt with brown and white stripes on it. He gave a boyish charm when Myra saw him during the day.

But now the person in front of her eyes didn't resemble the boy from earlier rather a full-fledged grow men, obstructed her view. She was in daze and kept staring at Elio and didn't realize him sitting in front of her on a chair. She gulped hard, her breathing involuntarily laboured.

"Myra, you there?" Elio snapped his fingers in front of her eyes, seeing her lost in thought. This dragged her back and she lowered her face guiltily. 'You are beyond shameless' her ears turning red and face flushed.

Observing Myra, Elio asked, "Myra you look dazed and your face is all flushed, are you alright? Let me check" and came close to her, putting his forehead against hers.

This action of his made Myra's eyes dilated in shock. They were just centimeters apart, his breath fanning on Myra's nose and lips, making her throat dry and thirsty.
