Kael’s POV
"As always, I am going to trust what my Alpha plans," Liam said and stood up. "I will proceed with what I am here for," and he went towards Eira.
He settled at the edge of the thick mattress and picked up the hamster playing around Eira, who was busy ruffling Vixen’s fur with her fingers, while the fatty cat lay there lazily enjoying the massage from those delicate fingers.
Eira always paid more attention to Vixen, maybe because she was pregnant. That made wonder—when she was pregnant, how had she lived through it?Was she taken care of, or was she abused? Knowing how those bastard traffickers worked, most likely the second.
I decided. When she is pregnant with my child in the future, she will be taken care of in the best way possible, so that she will forget about her first painful pregnancy. She will only rember the one for my child... our child.No one will take her child away, and she will be able to raise them herself, enjoying every bit of their childhood and her being a mother.
"Seems like she is going to give birth anyti soon," Liam said as she reached out to touch Vixen’s full stomach. "Hmm, though I am not a vet, I can still tell you have to be ready to see the kittens anyti soon."
She looked at him, as he got her attention. Just like Roman, this old hag was good at it.
"How many kittens do you think your cat will have?" he asked her.
She looked back at Vixen’s stomach and touched it with her palm, as if trying to feel it. "There are four."
Liam raised a brow. "How do you know?"
"I know," she replied flatly.
We could tell she wasn’t just guessing on a whim—she was confident in it.
"Well then, you can start thinking about their nas," Liam said, "And how about I take one kitten? These days I feel lonely..."
"Then go fuck so bitches," she snapped back in a mont, pulling Vixen into her arms protectively, "Don’t even think about having my kittens."
Damn! She was rciless with her words.
We all smiled as we wanted this old man to taste the poison she often spilled at us. Served him right.
"I have a mate at ho who might kill if I followed your advice," Liam replied with a smile. "Anyways, let’s talk about sothing else. Show your wrist."
She didn’t respond.
Liam checked her wrist for a while and humd. Then he opened the paradic box and proceeded to get her blood sample. Not sure what test he was going to do.
Once he was done he said, "Your body is in good shape. Shifting and getting your wolf finally has done wonders." He put the box back in his bag and asked, "So how did you feel to et your wolf?"
She frowned at what he said.
"I know it must have been a truly painful process, but worth it, isn’t it? You got your wolf, and I must say it’s beautiful," he added, waiting for her reaction. "I need you to shift once more when you are ready, so I can check her as well for sothing important..."
She glared at him and snapped. "Sothing important?" she scoffed mockingly. "To know when that whore is ready to spread her legs for those five bastards?"
Her words led to utter silence in the drawing room. We didn’t an to fuck her—in fact, we were worried about not doing it when she wasn’t ready. But...
"I just want to know her and what you feel about her..." Liam tried to speak.
"What I feel about that bitch who snuggled to those bastards the mont they ca to her? Shaless, ungrateful bitch, she has no regard for my pain," she replied angrily, her teeth gritted as she spoke, her eyes dark with hate.
"If she is my wolf, she should know what they did to . If she is pureblood, powerful, why didn’t she go and take revenge over them and tore them apart? The bitch hid sowhere all these years, letting suffer, and now that she is out, she can’t wait to get fucked. The bastard, why did she even show up?"
Liam kept his cool and said, "That part of you acts more on her instincts than thoughts. She had been caged for so long and she has the right to enjoy her freedom. Aren’t you free as well? She needs it too—freedom."
"Freedom? Where? I don’t see it," she replied angrily. "All I see is being sent from one cage to another. Just that this current cage is not dark, but that doesn’t make it any better for ."
Damn! She still thought of this place as cage, despite she could do anything here.
Alright! At least she was speaking, just as Isla asked us to make her talk.
"I understand what you an and I won’t say you are wrong either," Liam said calmly, "but don’t hate your wolf. She-wolves are more vulnerable to fear when they are not out. If sothing scares them, they keep hiding, but once out, they can be truly powerful. Your wolf will be your real strength. She has been protecting you in her way till now by healing you despite how much you are hurt. She did everything she could..."
"Who asked her to? If not for her, I would have died and been freed from this hellish world. It’s because of her I am suffering more. That selfish bitch won’t let die as she would die with as well."
None of Liam’s argunts were working on her, and we didn’t know what to say in defense of her wolf.
What would happen if she kept hating her wolf? It would hurt both of them. They needed to be one for her to turn stronger.
Liam sighed helplessly. "Alright, calm down."
Eira didn’t respond, and Liam continued. "She was in as much pain as you; she is your soul. Don’t hate her. It will hurt her even more. Wolves need care and affection from their other half to turn stronger. Please, don’t hurt her for your own sake. Think about her like one of your pets. Will you hurt them?"
Eira didn’t answer but her silence was enough. She loved her pets more than anything.
"She is a poor trapped wolf. Now she is free, take care of her like you take care of your other pets," Liam said. "If you wish to care for her, when you shift, let know. I will take a look at her."
With that, Liam stood up. "Take care."
She didn’t respond, but there was a tinge of guilt in her expression. She had a soft spot for animals, and probably wouldn’t be ruthless towards her wolf much.
Liam ca to us. "I wanted to know when she would go into heat by checking her wolf, but she wouldn’t let . I will let you know for sure after I test her blood sample."
He glanced at her for the last ti and then spoke to us. "From her angry reactions, I can tell her heat is near. Eira knows it, she can feel the change in her body, and she is scared of it. That’s why this much anger towards her wolf as she can’t stop it."
"She knows her wolf will surrender to us when she is in heat, and she doesn’t want it," I concluded, as it was nothing surprising.
Liam offered a light nod. "But that’s inevitable. You have to prepare yourselves for it."
"Can’t we delay her heat cycle?" Lucian asked, "She will hate us more if she has to mate."
"First we gave her dicines to bring her shift and heat. Now if we give her dicines to counter her heat, it will backfire and harm her. I won’t allow it," he explained.
Silence fell over the five of us.
"I hope when that happens, only one of you will mate with her," he said, "and not scare her with all five of you..."
"Don’t teach us what to do with our mate," Lucian snapped. "We are werewolves, but not beasts."
"Good," Liam said and turned to leave. "I will send you her blood test report to let you know the probable ti of her heat cycle." And then he left.
The old man was gone, but we were tense once more.
