LOGINLucian’s POVWe brothers could only watch Kael and Eira arguing and leaving to their rooms."Soon, our Alpha is going to be crushed under the anger of our mate," Rafe commented, clearly amused. "I bet max two days."I hummed, "Two or three, not more than that.""Would be interesting to watch," Rafe chuckled. "I need to stalk more blood bags so I can enjoy the show while drinking.""We shall get the champagne bottles," I said, and looked at Jason. "What do you say?"Jason hummed and said, "I’ll try to look into Roman’s whereabouts," and left."This guy, can’t stop being serious," Rafe commented as he watched Jason leave.I just looked at him and asked, "How did it go at the hospital?"He looked back at me, his gaze savage. "Wondering whether you missed the chance of seeing me in pain?"The bastard would never see the worry others had for him."I can make up for that missing chance by putting you into that pain once more," I said with a warning gaze."Oh! I am truly scared," he chuckled
Kael’s POVDuring the day, Eira took care of Raven. I busied myself with office work while keeping an eye on the two. The best sight to see was when Raven fell asleep with Eira on that mattress by the window side.I couldn’t help but stop working and go to them. He had snuggled in her embrace with her hand wrapped around him. They looked like mother and child—exactly what they were.Jason, who came out of his room to go out, came to me and watched them as well.I fixed the sheets on them, while Jason instructed Fluffy to keep quiet. The hamster, cat Vixen, and her three kittens were napping as well.It felt like this corner of the home was the most peaceful and probably a sleeping heaven. Only if we could be a part of it, but we had things to do.Finally, evening was there, but Roman and Lucian hadn’t returned yet.Jason informed me that Lucian was caught up with some important matters related to the RavenClaw pack. He was busy planning and planting clues that could divert their atten
Kael’s POV After we talked a while more about Rafe, I asked about Raven."His blood tests, is the result out?" I asked."Need some more time," he answered, "but five of your test reports are there. I will email you."I offered him a bored look as there was no need for that."Thanks to Raven, I get to do blood tests for you five which you don’t understand how important they are," Liam said. "The last time the tests were done on you was like six years back before all of you went on your Alpha training. Your father made sure everyone was done with it. As an Alpha, you must know how important it is for me to keep the record of every Alpha in the pack."I didn’t answer. But his words reminded me of that Alpha training camp. It was the last camp we got to attend, as after that came chaos and we were in the war. No more training was needed as that war had already turned us into the strongest warriors once we took revenge on that bastard Keiren and almost destroyed his pack.During those day
Kael’s POVRafe had been shifted to the VIP patient suite in his unconscious state, so he could rest peacefully. Eira sat quietly on the couch, once in a while glancing at Rafe. I could clearly see she was worried about him.Roman sat next to her—he looked present here, but his mind was lost somewhere else. Jason had returned with Raven, and both looked as usual fine.I wanted to ask Jason about the session, but not in front of Raven.Seeing the kid, Eira, who had been quiet until now, finally had her eyes brighten up a little.She silently gestured to him to come to her. As expected, he looked at me first. I wondered why he always sought my permission to do anything at all. Eira was no stranger to him now.I gestured to him to go ahead.Raven went to her, and Eira shifted a little to make space for him to sit. She poured him water from the jug placed on the coffee table in front of the couch."I am going to Liam to discuss some matters. You and Roman stay with them," I told my two br
Jason’s POVRaven looked at her as if asking what she meant. It was Raven’s good quality that he wouldn’t ignore a new person once he was assured they weren’t entirely strangers to us."I mean, though you do not like to play here, what do you think is the most interesting thing around?" Isla asked, as if having a normal chat with him.Raven’s gaze moved to the chessboard, but Isla said, "Don’t say chess. I saw you playing earlier. Tell me something else you see here. Umm... like, when I was your age, I used to play on the swing. You see this mark on my chin? I got hurt after falling from it, but it was still my favorite."Raven looked at the mark on Isla’s chin, and she asked, "So which one for you?"Raven’s gaze once more moved and then settled on the huge blocks that were arranged in order to complete the puzzle. We understood his answer, but Isla asked, "Which one?"This time he pointed towards it. A reaction instead of a silent stare."So you do like brainstorming things," Isla co
Jason’s POVRaven and I arrived at the kids’ indoor play zone at the hospital, where a few kids were playing around on swings, sliders, huge blocks, and many more things for children.Isla was yet to arrive there, as she must have been on the way after finishing the session with Eira. I hoped it went well and that there was positive progress for her.Among us five, I was still not close to her, despite the fact that I was trying my best these days to make up for my mistakes.The worst part was, she still treated me as if I didn’t exist, not a single glance did she spare me. She showed her anger on others, but me. I want her to get angry at me, blame me for what I did, and what I failed to do. I failed to trust her and protect her.I had a chance to revive myself that night. I should have trusted her when she said she wasn’t the traitor, instead of torturing her. I could only live in regret now.I looked down at Raven. "You can go ahead and play as well."Raven didn’t move. He stood in
Eira’s POVHe leaned in slowly, his eyes flicking from mine to my lips. My lashes fluttered shut just as his mouth brushed over mine.Featherlight at first. Testing.His lips were warm, soft, but there was tension beneath them—something restrained. Something hungry.He kissed me again, firmer this
Eira’s POV(Flashback — Six Years Ago)After the final class of the day, I rushed toward the back of the school to meet him.I looked at my wristwatch. ’It must be at least half an hour—he must be waiting for me. I need to run.’Thankfully, today I had worn a casual T-shirt, jeans, and sports shoes
Roman’s POVJust then, a full grown, big-sized golden retriever entered the drawing room, barking in delight as Lucian followed behind.Fluffy—Alice’s dog. After she was gone, Lucian and Jason always kept him with them, and he spent most of his time along the border security camps. Even now, he was
Roman’s POVI left the side house to get food for Eira. It was clear Liam wanted to speak with her alone, which was why he sent me off. I didn’t protest. If she was willing to talk to anyone, that was already progress. And I trusted Liam enough to know he wouldn’t say or do anything that went again
