Rafe’s POVI closed my eyes and tried my best to calm down. After a while, I returned outside and handed her over a water glass filled with warm water, as it was cold.Sitting in the lounge chair, watching the kid in silence, she accepted the water without any protest or showing any hostility towards me after that kiss.Well, she kissed me back as well after I let her go just after the brief touch of her lips. So what happened later, she was the one to escalate it. Not like I was putting blame on her, because I was the one to start it out of my own greed to be close to her, to touch her. But I appreciated she was well aware of her own actions."The beautiful night calls for the drinks," Lucian said, to which others agreed.At the mention, Jason soon brought the liquor bottles from inside the home, but two were different—two tiny almond milk bottles that were meant for the kids.Jason passed each bottle to everyone. The liquor bottles to us, while he offered a milk bottle to Raven. "Yo

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 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

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

"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
