LOGINJason’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
Roman’s POV"Are you alright?" I asked Eira just as we stepped out of Isla’s office.She hummed lightly and walked by my side.We had to return to Kael as we were done here. Moreover, Eira wanted to go to Raven.Kael had already messaged me that they had been to the test rooms on the other floor. We headed to the elevator. Though the place was kept unoccupied, there were a few VIP patients being moved by the staff. I recognised them, but I didn’t want any of them to lay eyes on Eira.They sensed that cold aura from me and no one dared to look at her. By now, everyone was aware their Alphas had a pureblood, but no one ever dared look into it.Just as I was about to press the elevator button, I heard a voice."Roman?"My hand froze midway, my body tensed. A familiar voice, the one I hated.Just when I thought I had misheard, I heard it again."Roman, I know it’s you."Eira had already turned to look at the person, must be wondering who she was.I inhaled deeply and turned around.There
"I don’t blame you for not thinking about it, as you are not aware of what wicked things are going on in the world now. And I also, understand your state of mind where you still don’t trust anyone at all, that it’s been just a while you have been out of the hell you were in."It takes time, and we are willing to give you that, but you need to reciprocate as well instead of blocking us. Don’t you think so."Her words clearly reached Eira."Let me tell you, Eira, that the life of a pureblood—whether it’s werewolf, vampire, or any other supernatural species—wasn’t easy even in the past, and it’s worse in present. You truly need to learn about what’s going on in this current world."If you knew, you would change your mind about running away with your child. Because you and he will never be safe. And, what if he is already being used right now by those people who bought him from traffickers? What will you do?"I could see fear gripping her, her expressions turning grave.After a moment of
Roman’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
Roman’s POVAfter what Kael did today, we were in a merry mood for the first time in a long while. The weight of accepting that bitch Sophia as our mate, in case Kael gave in to her request, had finally been lifted.From the looks of it, after treating her, Kael might just keep his distance from he
Roman’s POVThe way she stood against the wall, bracing against what she thought was coming her way, I felt bad that she still didn’t trust me—but she was not at fault after experiencing no mercy from men.She must think everyone looked at her as nothing more than just a fucktool, and I had no will
Eira’s POVEven the mere mention of that man, my mate, was like a thousand blades tearing through my heart. I hated him. I didn’t even want to think about him.Dead? Yes, he was dead to me. And if I could, I would kill him a million times over.He would never know he had a child. A monster like him
"You see those small drills fixed in front of you?" I explain casually, as if we were just playing some kids’ game. "This little guy pointing your chest will slowly start drilling the center bone of your chest," and my gaze shifted towards the ones pointed at their knees, "and those two will drill
