LOGINRoman’s POVI couldn’t sleep the entire night after she left. I had to get a cold shower for a long time to calm myself and relieve the ache. Only then could I return to the bed. Lying in bed, only her thoughts gripped my mind.The way she didn’t reject me, but craved for me, I wondered if she had fallen for me. Or at least had some feelings for me. I didn’t want to expect too much from her, but how she was worried for me, and wished to show her care, and wished to accept me, it was overwhelming. I felt content with that.Going forward, I wished to give her everything she ever dreamed of. I wished to be a perfect mate to her, who loves her and protects her.It used to feel like a dream in the past, but now it was truly happening. Life couldn’t be better than this.Having her face flashing in front of my eyes, I fell asleep only by dawn.Now awake, I realized today we had Eira and Raven’s session with Isla. I couldn’t sleep for long and got up.Getting ready, when I went outside, my br
Eira’s POVHis lips were everywhere — my mouth, my jaw, my neck — each kiss growing deeper, hungrier. My breath kept catching, my fingers gripping his shoulders just to keep myself steady. When he pressed me against the wall again, my pulse tripped violently.Roman’s hands slid along my sides, slow at first, then more claiming... more certain.He tugged lightly at the fabric of my top, unfastening the first button, then the next. Each one sent a thrill through my skin as the cool air met the warmth he left behind.He trailed lower along the curve of my collarbone, tasting every inch he could reach. His hungry mouth and possessive hands over my exposed mounds left me breathless, enough to make my knees weaken.Heat spiralled inside me, chasing away every cold memory, replacing it with new ones. I wanted more of him.A helpless sound escaped me — too soft, too revealing — but I couldn’t stop it.I didn’t even want to.My breaths turned shallow... shaky... and when he lowered himself, sin
All of a sudden, I felt emotional.Damn it.My weird body was reacting again, threatening to make me cry over nothing."Aaa!" I heard him.I looked at him, my eyes slightly moist. He was holding a spoonful of soup toward me."Aaa," he repeated, softer this time, smiling like I was a stubborn child he needed to coax.I opened my mouth finally, and he fed me."Good girl," he praised, warm enough to melt the rest of the heaviness inside my chest."You should eat as well," I said quickly, grateful for the distraction from the sudden emotions."How was your day? What did you do?" he asked, having his own spoonful."Just as usual," I replied. "I spent time with Raven, and... Liam came to check on me."He looked at me instantly, his hand pausing halfway to his mouth. "What did he say?""He said to wait for the test results," I told him."When will it be?""I’m not sure.""I’ll ask him myself," he said, as if it wasn’t even up for discussion.The little exchange felt like a normal family dinn
Eira’s POVIn that dimly lit drawing room, I could clearly see him, his expressions and the silent emotions in his eyes.But I got back to my senses and decided to say something, as silence would only make things awkward for me. I wasn’t used to being this way."Did I wake you up?" I asked, my voice low, maybe a little hesitant."You did well," he replied, his thumb gently brushing at the back of my palm."Why are you not sleeping in the room?" I asked again."You weren’t there," he replied, his eyes not leaving mine, "without you it felt empty."I didn’t know what to say. He must have felt in his absence I already left his room. We had been sharing it since the start."I... Raven...""I know," he interrupted me gently, "Don’t worry. I just felt better here in the open."I knew he had always been understanding towards me, not creating unnecessary drama."You should sleep more. You must be tired," I said, my intention was to not disturb him anymore.But he was still holding my hand, so
Rafe’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
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
