Kael’s POV"There will be days she is too weak, and days she will stand so strong you may not know how to deal with her. Her mind will remain volatile for a long time, or maybe forever. You must accept this broken version of her if you wish to keep her with you.""As long as she stops attempting suicide, I am fine with any version of her," I said firmly. "Tell me what we must do to drive those thoughts out of her mind.""The root of everything lies in the pain and suffering she has endured through the years," the doctor replied. "She has locked it all away. She trusts no one, sees no hope. She lives like the walking dead. First, we must free her mind from the prison of that pain.""How do we do that?" I asked."By making her face it, making her talk about it. She needs to express what she has buried so deeply. It must be allowed to flow out," the doctor explained, then asked, "Have there been any instances that provoked strong reactions in her?"I gave a short nod. "Twice. Once when s

Kael’s POVThe doctor pulled a chair and sat before Eira, her composure steady and calm. She watched Eira weep, clutching the emptiness in her arms as though she still held her child there, gazing down at him as if he had never left.The sight tore into me. My throat tightened, my chest felt unbearably heavy, and my eyes burned.If only that incident didn’t happen in the past, if only she wasn’t framed. Perhaps today she would be holding our child instead, and we would be living the happy life together. Because she was meant to be fine. Our fates had already decided it.At the same time, the thought of having a child with her overwhelmed me. I wished I could look forward to that future, but I knew it would take time. She needed healing, not only in her body, but deep within her broken spirit."His name is Ray?" the doctor asked gently.Liam had already explained Eira’s condition, and that she had once borne a child.Eira nodded, tears streaking down her pale cheeks."How did it feel t

Kael’s POVThe next morning, when I opened my eyes, I didn’t leave the bed before she woke, unlike that night when she had slept in my room. Instead, I lay still, watching her. Her frail face had lost everything it once carried—her innocence, her charm—yet to me she was still beautiful.Lying on my side, I studied her as if I could memorize every detail, not even wanting to blink. Her small body was curled toward me, close enough that I could almost feel her warmth. I wondered what she would do if she woke now and saw me like this. How would she react?Would she react like before, as though I were a monster she needed to escape?And, I didn’t know I was going to get the answer just in a few moments.She stirred, her brows knitting faintly before her eyes fluttered open. I didn’t move. I wanted her to see me here, to face the reality that I wasn’t leaving. Running was no longer an option for her. She was mine, whether she liked it or not.Her gaze cleared, settling on me. And what I ex

Kael’s POVThere was complete silence after what Roman said.By now every one of us knew well, we had lost that old Eira. We wouldn’t see her the same ever again."Now I think about it, we should have gone to meet her in the prison at least once back then," Roman said, "Though we wouldn’t have trusted her, still...."He then looked at me. "Not you and Lucian or Jason, as I could understand your reason for not wanting to see her, but at least I should have gone."My world fell utterly silent. Because I didn’t have the courage to admit to them or to myself that in fact I went to see her after I got revenge on our enemies. And then what happened.Damn it! My pain and hatred back then surely got the worst of me.But sooner or later I will have to tell them. I wasn’t sure how they will react.Roman turned to Rafe. "We two should have tried it."Rafe said nothing and looked away. He always chose silence over revealing what was in his mind.Roman’s gaze shifted to Lucian and Jason, but both

Eira’s POVThankfully, Alice came out from the kitchen and hugged me straight away, almost squeezing me to death."My love, you are finally here," she said, being so cheerful, and dragged me inside the kitchen. "See what my mom cooked. It’s my favourite, and she cooks it only on the next day of the Moon Festival. Taste it."It was some old-fashioned traditional dish which was rarely available anywhere. I tasted it, and I could say it was my new favourite now."Isn’t it yumm?" Alice asked.And I nodded quickly, my mouth full, my eyes brightening up with the lovely taste. Just as I swallowed, I said, "Aunty, I want to learn it as well."Jennifer, still so beautiful for her age and hard to believe she had two big hunks like sons, offered me her usual most beautiful smile one could see. "Sure, dear."She carried a true motherly warmth. Alice and her brothers were so fortunate."You two can start arranging the breakfast table," Jennifer instructed.I liked it that she treated me like famil

Eira’s POVHe looked at me. "What are you smiling for?"I shook my head. "Nothing.""I must look very handsome up close, more than I already am?" he said, his own lips curving into a smile as he focused back on the task."Yes. You are the most handsome man I have ever seen," I replied, and I wasn’t lying. In my eyes, he was. He caught my heart the moment I laid my eyes on him for the first time."And you are the most beautiful girl I had ever seen," he replied.He must be exaggerating, as there were many beautiful girls in the pack, far better than me. For example, that Sophia. She was a little annoying, but there was no denying she was a beautiful and attractive girl around. Like an enchanting fox, she got everyone’s attention. Her beautiful blond hair added to her charm even more.But the man I loved said I am the most beautiful for him, so I will accept the praise gladly. It’s enough for me to be beautiful in his eyes alone."Once more lost in gutter?" he asked as he put the bottle
