Sold To The Alphas I Hate Chapter 217: What Eira Thinks About Roman And Others

Eira’s POV

"Tsk! It ended so quickly," Rafe sighed. "And most of it I missed thanks to one lazy ass who I had to teach how to use her abilities."

I turned back to him and punched him hard in the stomach.

"Ah!" He doubled over in pain, but the next mont he smirked. "What was that? Were you trying to feel my abs, you pervert?"

For a mont, I truly thought I’d hurt him, but the bastard was acting. He sighed. "Seems like we need to teach you how to fight as well. Damn, we are literally raising a grown-up baby here."

"I didn’t ask you to teach ..." I trailed off.

"Shh! It’s alright to be embarrassed," he cut off. "We will start your lessons along with Raven. I hope you won’t embarrass yourself in front of a kid."

Damn! This hit . I didn’t want to look weak in front of Raven. How would he trust to protect him? Just like Kael, I wanted to tell him, ’Mommy will protect you.’

I watched Lucian and Jason carrying Roman inside the house. Rafe was about to follow them, but I gripped the sleeve of his long black T-shirt. He turned and raised a brow.

"Umm... will you teach ..." I asked.

"What?" he said, a grin on his lips.

It was so embarrassing to ask help from soone who mocked and teased so bluntly.

"That—"

"I already taught you how to kiss properly; now I want to learn how to get the upper hand over a man and—"

"Shut up!" I raised my voice. "I was talking about teaching how to fight."

"Oh!" The bastard acted nonchalant as if he truly didn’t know what I ant. "The way you acted was too hesitant, I thought you wanted so tips on sex..."

"Shut up!" I interrupted him again. "Tell if you want to help or not."

He acted like he was giving it so thought. "Now you are one of us, there is no way I will let you be the reason for our embarrassnt," he said, and walked away toward the house.

"What does that an?" I followed him, trying to get a clear answer.

"Use your brain if you have one," he replied and kept walking.

"You will teach ?" I asked again as I entered the house after him.

"You still have a few brain cells left it seems," he comnted.

Was it too hard to just answer with a ’yes’ or ’no’? Why was he being so difficult? I sighed. I’d ask him again later.

We went to my room—that ant Roman’s room—and watched Lucian and Jason settling unconscious Roman in the bed.

I waited on the side, sitting on the couch next to the window, while they removed Roman’s clothes, cleaned him, and put fresh clothes on him. Their actions showed their care towards him.

I would have stayed out, but I was certainly worried for him.

Lucian was truly strong. Though all of them were strong, we all knew that after Kael, it was Lucian who was the strongest and could defeat even the most powerful beast. Alice always took pride in Lucian’s abilities.

And he didn’t show any rcy when he fought Roman.

When I ca across these five after six long years, it was only Roman who wasn’t truly hostile towards . As days passed, he started to care for more and was kind to .

Despite mocking him, saying he was just pretending to care so he could get to fuck easily, he never stopped. He didn’t give up on .

I shouldn’t be soft towards him, but things seem to have changed. But to think, other than bullying in the past, he never really hurt like the others did.

And now, the definition of the word "hurt" has changed for over the years, so much that his bullying in the past seems insignificant in front of the pain I had gone through.

His bullying was annoying and angered all the ti, but he never hurt physically. Just as he said a few days back, he was only trying to get my attention. Though I truly hate to think that was his way of getting my attention. He truly sucks at it.

We had been in the sa room for days now, but except for the starting days, he never tried to get close to . And these days, I could tell, he had no intention of fucking . He was always quiet, calm, and without any desperation to get close.

It was truly a relief. And that was the reason I stayed in his room, because I knew he wouldn’t do it without my consent. I was truly tired of being fucked for years.

I needed peace of mind and body. And he gave just that.

I wonder what his mother did to him for him to be affected like this after her arrival. He hadn’t been himself for a few days now, especially since the mont we ca across her.

And today, I got to see an entirely different Roman—far from calm and kind. That woman truly affected him in the worst way.

As I looked at his peacefully sleeping face, I was truly curious to know about him and his mother.

Now that I think about these five, it reminded of the words Isla once said to : "You aren’t the only one who is suffering or has suffered in life. Everyone who is alive and breathing has their own monsters to fight."

I saw Rafe in pain in the hospital. He always acted so haughty that it was impossible to even imagine he was suffering in so way.

And now Roman—he already looked like he was at war with sothing deep inside him. Roman even told what happened with Kael and how he still suffers from that loss, and the sa goes for Jason and Lucian.

All of us had suffered, all our lives had turned upside down from how they once were.

"Eira."

Lucian’s voice brought back to my senses. I moved my gaze from Roman’s face to Lucian.

"I plan to stay here with Roman," he said. "Is it fine?"

I nodded quietly.

"You can move to the bed. I’ll take the couch," Lucian offered.

That beast of a body of his—how would it even fit on the small couch?

"I’m fine here," I told him as I lay on the couch already. "You take the bed."

Damn! Is it too much of a change to be considerate towards them all of a sudden?

There was silence for a mont. Maybe they were surprised to have a normal conversation with . Okay, even I was surprised at myself.

"How about you sleep in so other room?" Lucian suggested. "Rafe’s or Jason’s?"

"No need," I declared coldly, closing my eyes.

I would rather sleep on the cold floor than go to that bloodsucker who would annoy with his mocking remarks, or to that other bastard I didn’t wish to get closer to anymore.
