MasukRoman’s POVI took Eira to Isla’s office. Clearly Eira wasn’t pleased, but she was following through it. Isla welcomed her with a pleasant smile.Eira was sitting in a single chair opposite the couch in her office."How are you doing, Eira?" Isla asked her, as she offered her a smile.Eira didn’t respond to her and sat on the couch opposite to Isla. I offered a light nod to Isla and left the office door, only to enter the side room to keep watch on Eira through the glass partition. I could hear them talk as well."See, today the windows here are wide open," Isla said, "Liam is too boring and keeps the window of his office closed. But, I prefer to keep my office full of fresh air."Eira looked towards the window and then looked back at Isla."I heard there’s a sweet little guy in your home now, along with four new kittens?" Isla just knew how to get her attention.Eira hummed."I saw the child just a while ago with Alpha Kael. Indeed an adorable child," Isla commented."Raven," Eira i
Kael’s POVI turned to him, wanting to ask more questions, but seeing him so quiet and trying to hide his fear, I decided to give him time. For now, he didn’t need to be bombarded with questions he feared; he needed coaxing.The answers—I would get them anyway."You don’t need to be scared of anyone now," I told him as I held his hand in mine. "You are safe with us."I happened to look at Eira, who surprisingly looked back at me. We said no words, but it was clear enough—we were together, at least in matters related to Raven.There was silence inside the car for the rest of the journey, all of us lost in the shocking discovery we had just made. Every so often, we glanced at Raven, who was quietly snuggling against Eira as she held him close in a protective embrace.When we reached the hospital, before stepping out, I told Raven, "We are at the hospital to have some important check-ups done on you. But there’s nothing to be scared about."I had to tell him, as I was sure he didn’t have
Kael’s POVAll of us had breakfast together. It was time to visit the hospital. Though I had told Eira we were taking Raven to the hospital just for normal tests, there was more to it.With Liam’s help, I wanted to know more about Raven, and what might have been the reason the kid was taken to the hospital so often when he was in the RavenClaw pack. Though I had my guess, I wanted to confirm it with an expert.Also, I wanted to have a session for Raven with Isla, who might explain more about his psychic condition and what he must have gone through to be this way.We had already decided who was going to do what. Lucian was going to his duty of security and checking on what was going on in RavenClaw pack, and how close they were to finding the whereabouts of Raven.Roman, Jason, and I would be going to look after the three patients with us—Eira, Raven, and yes, Rafe.These days Rafe was getting aggressive with his bloodlust, and I decided to have Liam go through some tests for him to se
Kael’s POVI returned to the room after having a bath, wrapped in a towel. She was still the same, staring at Raven without blinking. Her expression was pleasant, as if she were looking at some kind of precious treasure.Not disturbing her, I headed to the wardrobe. Just then I heard her sweet voice, "Good morning."Of course, it wasn’t for me. I turned to look at the bed. Raven was awake, looking at her, perhaps a little taken aback to see her right in front of him the moment he opened his eyes."Good morning, Raven," I said as I went to the bed. He looked at me, and I told him, "She was missing you, so she came here to see you."In response, he sat up in bed, and Eira moved with him, trying to help. The little sleepy guy rubbed his eyes with those tiny fingers of his. He looked adorable.But he wasn’t the kind of kid to linger in bed for long, given how strictly he was raised. He moved aside the blanket and stepped out of bed, while Eira helped him, which he didn’t reject. He was a
Eira’s POVAfter talking with Roman, I couldn’t sleep for long and woke up early in the morning. I was excited to start my day with Raven. I pushed aside the sheets and got out of bed."It’s still early for you to wake up," I heard Roman say."I have to get ready before Raven is awake," I told him and headed to the bathroom anyway.I returned after a long time wrapped in a towel, one around my body and another over my wet hair. A nice bath, I must say, which I never cared about before. I wanted to be fresh and clean. I opened the wardrobe and wondered what to wear.I still had scars on my body. Most of them had faded after my wolf appeared, but some old brutal ones still remained.I looked through all the dresses Roman had bought for me. I didn’t think about it before, but now that I needed them, I was glad he did. Before, I didn’t care what I wore—or wore nothing at all.That day when Rafe called me an unsightly witch and commented on how ugly I looked, I didn’t care. But now I didn
Kael’s POVI put Raven on my bed, exactly in the middle, and placed the pillows as a barrier on the other side in case he moved around and fell off the bed.Toff the lights, I lay on one side of the bed and covered both of us with the same bed-sized blanket. Somehow I couldn’t stop staring at his small, innocent, beautiful, peaceful face. For how mature he acted, in the end he was still a child—a sweet one.After so many years, I felt my lips curve into a gentle smile that came from my heart without me even realizing it was there. His presence felt just as soothing and fulfilling as finding water in a vast desert when you thought you were going to die of thirst.As he was in the middle of the bed, he wasn’t far from me. My hand hovered near his face, which looked so small in front of my large palm. But I couldn’t hold back the urge to touch him, to caress that soft, chubby cheek of his.I leaned a little closer and pecked his head. His hair smelled just like Eira’s.The more I looked
Kael’s POVUnbothered by the chatter around me, my gaze remained fixed on her, blind and deaf to everything else.Now that I was certain she wasn’t the one who had betrayed us, the one responsible for my parents’ merciless slaughter and the loss of our people, the feelings I had buried for so many
Roman’s POV"Don’t." A fragile voice trembled through the air, and we turned to see her standing there, small and scared.Eira.She was awake. She must have heard us speaking about her child."Please... don’t kill my child." Her voice cracked, eyes glistening with tears, her expression pleading. "H
Eira’s POV ’Just a little more. And it would all be over.’ Limping, crawling, barely able to breathe, I somehow made it to the boundery wall of the rooftop. Every movement burned, my wounds stinging beneath the thin layer of sweat that now coated my skin. For the first time in six years, I saw
Eira’s POV Faint sounds stirred me from the depths of unconsciousness. Pain coursed through every inch of my body—it felt as though I had been trampled by a vehicle, leaving only broken pieces behind. My eyes fluttered open, struggling against the sharp sting of light that streamed in through th
