Semua Bab Bound by Blood and Hatred : Bab 81 - Bab 90

Lucian’s POVThe moment that bullet shot me, the sharp pain coursed through me, and I knew I was done for. But at the same time, I tore apart that bastard before he could even think of touching her.I turned to her as if it was basic instinct. All I could think about in that moment was her—not the pain, not the death that was about to swallow me.The pain of that deadly silver bullet was like it was burning my soul, but all I wanted was to reach her for the last time.I barely took a step toward her, but the deadly silver in that damn bullet worked faster, ripping away any ounce of strength I had left. I fell to the ground without even getting to touch her one last time. I was lying there in my human form, helpless, waiting for death to approach me.But the worst part was, I had never thought to let her see me in such a condition—when I had always been nothing but inhuman strength.Despite all these small regrets running through my mind, something good happened. She came to me—she was

Liam’s POVWhen I entered the room, Eira was still in a deep sleep. I expected her to wake soon—there were things I needed to speak to her about.I pulled a chair closer to the bed and sat down, reaching for her wrist to check her pulse. Last night, it had been erratic from the sudden shock her body had endured when she used her powers. Now, it was steady.Good.She stirred slightly beneath the sheets, perhaps sensing my presence. I was about to call her name when I noticed the distress etched across her face. Her brows were drawn, her lips moving faintly. She was still caught in the grip of some nightmare.I let her be, listening as she murmured weakly, "Alice... I am sorry... Don’t leave me, please... I am sorry..."Poor soul. Still chained to the past. I could see her pain—the raw wound of losing her friend. Yet the question would always remain: why had she killed Alice? Maybe one day she would tell me. Until then, I would wait."Eira..." I finally said, keeping my voice gentle so

Lucian’s jaw clenched, but he didn’t argue—at least not directly. "Fine. But I’m not babysitting her. I’m moving to Jason’s room until she’s gone from mine. And don’t even think about forcing me to look after her, or I’ll slit her throat myself. No bitch, no trouble."Kael didn’t flinch. He simply shifted his gaze to Roman.Before Kael could speak, Roman shook his head. "Kael, this time I’m disobeying you. I need time... and distance from her."That alone was enough to make us pause. Roman rarely refused Kael, but his tone made it clear—there would be no persuading him. And honestly, he’d already been the one handling her for days without complaint.Kael’s gaze landed on me. "You’ll look after her.""What?" I stared at him in a disbelief.’Do I need to torture her again so the responsibility of baby sitting her won’t fall on me?’"That’s final," Kael said, his voice ice. "And this time, I expect you to obey. You still haven’t made up for hurting her—or she’d have healed by now and wou

Roman’s POVI helped Jason with breakfast, though from the moment he returned from the room his mood had been foul. I wasn’t sure what had happened between him and Eira. Perhaps she had behaved as she usually did, and unlike me, Jason wasn’t accustomed to tolerating it. I had learned to remain calm, no matter how much she ignored me.The reason I refused to take care of her today, it was because of last night. Watching Lucian nearly die had shaken me to the core, the same gut-wrenching fear I had felt six years ago when I lost the rest of my friends.For a few terrible moments, I had hated Eira with every fibre of my being, even to the point of wanting her dead. That raw, unfiltered anger had rattled whatever softness I had begun to feel toward her over the past few days.I needed distance, time to quiet the storm inside me. Otherwise, I wasn’t sure if my words would wound her deeper than my hands ever could. She had always sought death, and we had always denied it to her—so how could

The council chamber was as oppressive as always—the five council members seated high on their chairs, the air thick with dominance and judgment. The long sides of the hall were lined with Alphas from different packs, each with their own agendas, their own grudges.And there he was. Kaizan.The bastard was grinning, as if he’d been waiting for this moment. But whatever he was hoping to see, he was going to be disappointed tonight.Most importantly, we couldn’t let him see Eira. No one here knew her... except Kaizan. That alone made him dangerous.If Kaizan recognised her and he told everyone about what she’d done—these vultures would use it as leverage to force Kael into sharing her.Because she was a criminal and criminals didn’t deserve any respect but were meant to suffer for their life or to pay for their crimes. The council will straight order us to hand her over and then decide her fate on their own, planning her entire life ahead nothing but as a breeder."Alpha Kael," Jeffery’s
