LOGINRafe’s POVFinally, I heard her talking to Kael."Umm... Roman... I don’t see him?" she asked.I finally looked toward her, a small smile playing on my lips.At the same time, Kael looked at me with his usual calm gaze. He clearly understood what I was trying to do.He looked back at Eira and answered, "There’s some important work at the office that needs his presence. He might return late tonight."She simply hummed, while I said, "I should take lunch to him?""Why?" a voice came through — Lucian. "Are you his wife?""I can be, if he wants me to be," I said shamelessly. "Or he won’t eat the entire day. You know how workaholic he is.""No need. He won’t eat anyway," Jason said as he brought the food to the table. "He always wastes food when he’s working.""He just needs someone to force him to stop working and eat," Lucian added. "And none of us is that someone. Last time I tried, he kicked me out of the office," he frowned, "That cold bastard.""Just wait for him to return home," Kae
Rafe’s POVKael returned home by lunchtime. The moment he entered the house, all our gazes followed him — eager to know what happened during the meeting.Raven was busy with some kids’ reading material. I could tell he was interested in studying, and it was even more impressive that, at just five, he could read and understand everything better than most kids his age. He was truly smart and had inherited the best genes from his parents.Damn! That reminded me of whoever the bastard was who impregnated Eira. I didn’t want to accept that Raven inherited anything from that piece of shit. He was only Eira’s son.Eira, sitting by Raven’s side like a responsible mother teaching her child, couldn’t hide her eagerness at the sight of Kael either."Raven, finish this. Mommy is getting up for some work," she instructed.The little guy nodded, and she stood up to go to the kitchen. It was the first time I’d seen her take the initiative to ask about something.I stood up from the sofa at the same
Lucian’s POVWhile Kael was away, we had to tighten security even more. We didn’t know how long it would take for him to return.It wasn’t that we were weak without him — far from it — but he was the Alpha, and his presence carried weight, especially when there were people in this home we had to protect.Our mate needed his protection the most, and we couldn’t afford to risk anything. That was why Kael had always made sure to stay close to Eira. With him by her side, no one would ever dare think of coming for her. Anyone foolish enough to try would pay the price for touching the mate of a top-tier Alpha.Jason and I kept ourselves busy with work, making sure that bastard Asher hadn’t brought any hidden trouble after luring Kael away from the house. Still, deep down, we knew he wouldn’t risk it. These were merely precautionary measures."Alpha Lucian, Dr. Liam is here," a guard reported as he entered the security office."I’ll see him in person," I said, turning to Jason. "Keep an eye
Roman’s POVKael and I left home to meet that bastard Asher.Sitting in the car, staring outside, I couldn’t help but think about Eira—and what we did. My mind was supposed to be focused on dealing with Asher, who was a threat to her happiness, but it kept drifting back to her.When she collided with me in the room, I had no intention of what followed. It happened suddenly, like a storm that hit me out of nowhere and swept me along with it.The way she looked at me, the way she touched me and that kiss- I could feel and see how strongly she was drawn to me. Maybe it was because of what she was going through, but still, I felt wanted... needed.I had dreamed of her kissing me on her own, willingly, but I hadn’t expected it to happen like that—when I wasn’t even thinking about it.Even after an hour passed by, every part of me could still feel it. The hunger in her mouth, the need that poured through her... and I was willing to give her more than she even realized she wanted.But it was
Eira’s POVOnce we had breakfast together, Kael told me, "Today, I’m going out for some work."I didn’t know why he was telling me, but I nodded anyway."Take care of Raven," he instructed, then turned to Raven. "Listen to Mommy."Raven nodded as well.I looked at the two. Things were changing. It was giving me a family feeling now — in fact, it had started quite a while back.Kael turned to me and pecked my forehead. "See you."I was taken aback but nodded as usual.Kael looked at Roman. "Let’s go," he said, and walked toward the door.So, Roman and he were going together.Roman hummed and came to me. He cupped my face in his hands and pecked my lips softly.My breath caught in my chest. He moved back and looked at me. "I’ll be back soon."Why?Why were these people doing this to me? I wasn’t ready for it. My heart might just burst any moment if they continued this way.I nodded lightly, and he turned to leave. But he left my heart beating wildly once more, just when it had managed t
Eira’s POVIt took me a long time under the shower to calm myself. When I came out, Roman wasn’t in the room, but he had placed my clothes for the day on the bed.I felt relieved he wasn’t there after how horny I had acted—almost begging him for intimacy. It wasn’t like me, and now that I was back to my senses, I felt a little embarrassed.I went to the bed to get my clothes. As it was starting to get colder, he was thoughtful enough to choose warm and thick ones for me—a sweatshirt and matching pants. Honestly, I liked them; they felt comfortable, soft, and warm. I used to wear such clothes every winter.I wondered when he bought them. Then I realized it must have been that day when I was busy buying clothes for Raven—he had gone to the women’s section. He didn’t have to tell me what he got, but he had arranged them neatly in my wardrobe afterward.Could he be any more thoughtful? Suddenly, my heart felt the warmth of his silent care. He had always arranged everything for me as if he
Jason’s POVThe next morning, I began preparing breakfast for all of us. With one more added to our number, I now had to cook for her as well.I sighed, helpless and irritated. J’ust for Roman’s sake, so he won’t lose his shit again. Otherwise, I wouldn’t lift a finger for that bitch.’I rummaged t
Roman’s POVBack then all the things happened so fast, Alice’s murder, same day attack by our enemies which left us all shattered, and then we attacked them back in retaliation. Month passed by only taking care of the chaos and during this time, Eira was locked in jail since the day she killed Alic
Roman’s POVThough I had told my mate-brother that I would have nothing to do with her, that whether she lived or died had nothing to do with me, I still couldn’t help but feel concerned the moment I heard her painful screams.My heart nearly stopped.Without thinking, without hesitation, I ran to
Roman’s POV"Tarantula bites," Liam informed me as I stared at the wounds. "They’re all over her body."My fists clenched. We all knew how terrified she was of spiders, and yet...No wonder she had lost her mind. No wonder she was terrified of even the air around her.My gaze shifted to her bandage
