(Author's POV)

Dion was stumped by what Drey worded. His golden green's replicating an intense gaze, lust and desire, making Myra shiver a little initially.

Myra came to her senses, snatched her hand out of Dion's grip roughly and said in an annoyed tone, "enough of this bullshit already. All you brothers are really ruthless with your so called pranks, huhh. Do you guys take me for a fool? And what the fucking hell are you, even doing in my room at this hour? Do you also want to humiliate me further?"

Dion, not expecting Myra's cold reaction, was a bit overwhelmed by her sudden outburst. Myra's eyes were bloodshot and her tone was very out of order, quite unlike her which made Dion stun.

In order to understand Myra, Dion questioned her with a soft tone, "Myra, I saw that your room's door was ajar and no one was in there, so-so, I got a bit worried. Sorry if you felt uncomfortable. But what is it about us brothers and prank? Why will I try to humiliate you? No, tell me who tried to humiliate you? Just give me the name and I'll rip that apart." The last part was uttered by Drey.

"Ohh, don't you dare play innocent, like always. What you did back then, I didn't say anything to you because it was also a mistake on my part but this ....." Myra clicked her tongue in frustration, not saying anything after that.

"I know I messed up pretty badly back there, I know, I know, but please, trust me. Whatever I did then, was not just something I would do with some random girl. And now I know why it was like that, because you are, you are my ma-" Dion tried to smoothed things over but Myra cut him off mid-sentence.

"ENOUGH already. Don't say anything. I am your no one. You keep playing me for a fool and think I won't know anything. I know what you all are trying to do, from that damned book. So, get lost, Dion. I don't want to see you anymore" Myra mumbled the last few words.

"Book, what book?" Dion was puzzled by her Myra's words.

Myra was getting more and more pissed by Dion's presence and his innocent act. She roared, "GET THE FUCKING HELL OUT OF HERE, DION EVERESTS."

After saying that, Myra started shoving Dion off of her room forcefully. Dion, who was just too shocked by Myra's temper, was thrown out of Myra's room quite unceremoniously. Myra wanted to bang the door at Dion's face but held it in, because all the members of the family were already asleep. She didn't want to disturb any of them, or simply put, she didn't want any further drama. She was dead tired of all of this.

Myra crouched down in a sitting position, her hands hugging her knees and her face buried between them. She kept repeating the stuff that she read in that book about werewolves' origin.

*Few Days Ago*

Although, Myra initially didn't wanted to read that 'children's book', but curiosity got the better of her and also she didn't knew why but something within her wanted to know about what was in it. It was more than just some idle curiosity, I guess.

The first few pages were about what werewolves exactly are. Then, there was extensive information about the different packs around the world, about the Alpha's leading those packs, their betas and gammas and warrior and stuff.

But going through half of the book, she came across the title named 'MATE.'

It started as, "A mate is someone who is chosen by moon goddess for a werewolf or a she-wolf, there significant other. In order to find one's fated mate, the werewolf and their mate both needs to be at least twenty years of age. If the first condition is fulfilled, then both the parties have to make some kind of a skin contact with each other to know if they are each other's destined mate, chosen by the moon goddess herself."

'Who even wrote this book?' Myra flipped to the cover to check the Author's name but to her surprise it didn't had any. 'Told you, it was either written for kids or by a kid himself. Otherwise, who'll believe such nonsense, huh?'

Nonetheless, I read it further, "When the two werewolves, touch each other, their respective wolves will recognize their mate instantly and spell the word 'MATE' to the other.

A mate bond is a bond that is so powerful, which can make the mated werewolves feel the emotions of each other clearly. Their love for each other will be maximized. They both will have an urge to mark each other and mate with them. Their desire for each other will only intensify and grow."

In case of a ranked wolf, their bond with their mate is ten times more passionate then a normal wolf. The ranked wolf with their partner makes for a formidable pair. And in case a werewolf did not find their fated mate, he or she can take a chosen mate for themselves. Once both of them have marked each other, they are bound to each other.

If any of the two betrays the other, their mated partner will know about it automatically. Their mark will burn and turn red, giving an unbearable and suffocating pain." As Myra finished the topic about mate, she contemplated seriously on it, like 'how is it even fair for the one who gets betrayed to endure heartache as well as pain. I guess, the latter is correct, "Mr. Alpha" must have written it when he was little. He's too much into fantasy and stuff for a sturdy looking guy.'
