<h4>Chapter 65: Emergency Meeting</h4>


    (Author’s POV)


    Inside Nora’s room


    It was close to midnight and an all Everests’ sibling’s emergency meeting was called up by Nora and Elio and Dion were already gathered in Nora’s room, Brave and ric, they were on the road as they were busy with the office matters all day.


    Nora was pacing back and forth, her delicate feet were pounding hard on the marbled flooring. The tension and restlessness was quite evident on her facial expressions as well as her bodynguage, she kept on making weird faces unconsciously. One second she was frown and another second, she was pressing her lips together, then she started shaking her eyebrows animatedly, creasing them and releasing them.


    Elio suggested looking at her with a skeptical face, "Nor, nor, nor. Sis, sit down for a moment. Your pacing and all will make yourself as well as us feel dizzy. Sit and tell us why have you called for us here, thiste at night?"


    Nora sat as per Elio’s suggestion but as soon as she sat down, her right leg and feet were moving without her knowing, making tapping sounds on the floor, *tick tick tick ... tick tick tick*


    Dion stood up from the couch at once, strided with his longs legs and stood behind Nora, cing his firm hands on both her shoulders, "Calm down Ora, calm down. Rx." He brushed and massaged her cervical area in a smooth motion with his thumb and fingertips with practiced ease.


    As soon as Dion’sforting and soothing voice voice reached Nora’s ears, her anxious state eased bit by bit and she gradually rxed.


    It was because one of Dion’s special abilities, by using his powers, he could alleviate or worsen other persons’ moods or state of mind. He had the ability to suppress or intensify someone’s emotional state. To fully use this power of his, Dion has to touch one out of the several sensitive nerves of the other person, gently rub on it, and then whisper the things he wanted that person to do.


    For example, in this case, he was murmuring words of sce andfort besides Nora’s earlobes.


    When the stiffness on Nora’s face as well as in her body gradually improved, Dion inquired about what she was thinking to hard, "Why did you call for an emergency meeting? Is it about what you told us earlier? Revealing to Myra, about our family’s identity and origin and our races existence? Is it about that you are so restless about?" he raised his eyebrows as he finished his sentence, waiting for Nora to reply.


    Nora was biting on her lips and blurt, "Yeah, something about that thing. Once Brother Al and Brother Brave arrive, I’ll tell you guys together." Then she turned and instructed Elio, her tone was a bit reprimanding, "Why aren’t they here yet? Call them and ask when they will reach?" at end her tone was filled with desperation.


    Elio sensed her bad mood and told her, "I called ric like .... ten minutes ago and he said he’s on the way and I guess any minute for now and he’ll be here."


    Just when Elio finished his sentence, the sound of knocking on Nora’s door could be heard and the next moment, ric twisted the knob and came inside saying, "Sorry Ora, I’mte. There were a lot of meetings today, it kept me busy. Anyways, you called, what happened? What’s it about?"


    Tilting her head to the side, Nora tried to look past ric, "Where’s Brother Brave? Why didn’t hee with you?" she sounded a tad bit annoyed.


    "There’s tons of work so he’s busy and will be staying at the office" ric stated with a straight face.


    Brave who hadn’t returned home with ric, wanted to stay at the office. There were designated bedrooms attached with each of the executives’ office, so ric didn’t insisted. He was glued to Brave the whole day, observing his mood and when he was fully sure that Brave was alright, ric came back.


    Nora frowned but didn’t say anything further, then she gestured for ric to take a seat and heplied.


    With a loud gulping sound, Nora started, <i>"Ummmmm, as I told you guys before. I tried talking to Myra about the~ ... the topic."</i>


    Listening to her initial words, they all perked up, she continued, <i>"but missed the timing altogether. We even had a tiny bit of argument on something."</i>


    The brothers’ eyes widened at what she said.


    Elio eximed, "<i>You and Myra fought?</i> You argued with your <i>’soul mate’</i>?"


    Nora rolled her eyes at Elio’s loud voice, "We didn’t argue like how you think we did, it was more like a difference of opinion on our parts. Hmm, that’s what it was. I’m rather feeling a bit guilty at how I talked to her" the regret in her tone could be heard by the brothers.


    "Don’t worry, I’m sure she didn’t take it to her heart" Dion consoled Nora.


    Nora sighed at his words then further stated, "Anyways, what I’m saying is that we had a talk and she told me in the middle of it that she’s returning back home" her words sounding small at the end of the sentence.


    ric frowned at this, "Yeah, we all know that piece of information. Didn’t she dere it in the dining hall, but it is still a week from now on? That’s what I remember" he sounded haughty.


    With an awkward face Nora replied, "Hmmm, she did say that, but she’s nning to depart early."


    Elio instantly asked, "Early, how much early?"


    Nora pinched the bridge of her nose with her hand, "Dayyyy~ after ... tomo-rrow and I agreed."


    All of them were puzzled while listening to Nora, "You agreed?"


    "Yeah~, the time is short but before she leaves I want to ..... I want to let her know the truth" Nora mumbled with a dead pan face.


    The boys understood her intentions, feeling nervous Dion probed more, "And how will it happen?" It’s not that easy and simple. If you make haste, things may crumble apart."


    His words matched exactly what Aura has told Nora earlier, but she knew she had to do it now and not to wait for an opportunity in the future.


    Before anyone could say anything, ric interrupted them, "I agree with what Ora said. This should be resolved quickly. ’Her friend’ has the right to know." His internal thoughts were, ’At least, your and that human’s friendship will end in this way. That’ll be good for our family’ as he sneered inwardly.


    Dion was dumbfounded with how readily ric sided with Nora in this. He knew ric wasn’t very fond of Myra. So, Dion thought ric would have been be the first one to oppose Nora.


    Elio wasn’t as surprised as his elder brother. He had guessed that something was definitely brewing up between ric and Myra, at least from ric’s side. Was it just a simple interest or more than that, he wanted to find that out.


    Nora being oblivious to her brothers’ thoughts continued,<i> "Thank you Brother ric for saying that, it means a lot"</i> her voice became hoarse as she said that. <i>"I’ll talk to her tomorrow, after dinner. I just wanted to ask you guys, can you be there, with me, while I tell her, umm?"</i>


    Elio rubbed his palms and replied, "You have my full support, but I think you should talk to her alone. I don’t think she’ll feelfortable having this kinda conversation in front of us. After all, you guys know each other best."


    Dion and ric both agreed, "Yup, after all, she’s your childhood friend. And if you, with your utmost sincerity, reveal to her about us being werewolves, I’m sure she’ll understand. It may take time and maybe she may even get angry with you but it won’t be for too long. She values your friendship a lot."


    Elio added, "You guys have spent twenty years of your life as friends. Don’t worry too much; everything will be fine in the end. And didn’t you tell us, Myra adores furry things. So, you can just unleash your wolf and she’ll agree in no time" he said this while chuckling. He wanted to lighten up Nora’s mood.


    Noraughed at his words, "Haha, no one can resist Aura’s charm."


    Dion then flicked his fingers, "Listen, we can do this. We will set a farewell dinner for her. And when she is all rxed and enjoying and the vibe is right, then you can take her somewhere alone and tell her."


    Nora’s eyes lit up at Dion’s suggestion, she further added, "I’ll prepare a farewell gift to her liking as well. I have been feeling guilty about not being able to gift her anything when I gave you yours. This is going to be perfect. Thank you, Brother Dion. Elio, Brother ric, really thank you for backing me up" she was getting sentimental.


    "So, I guess the n’s all set" ric ruffled Nora’s hair yfully giving her an encouraging look.


    <i>"Yeah, the n’s set."</i>
