Roman’s POV
I couldn’t sleep the entire night after she left. I had to get a cold shower for a long ti 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 , but craved for , I wondered if she had fallen for . Or at least had so feelings for . I didn’t want to expect too much from her, but how she was worried for , and wished to show her care, and wished to accept , it was overwhelming. I felt content with that.
Going forward, I wished to give her everything she ever dread 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 brothers were already present. Eira and Raven weren’t there yet.
Just as I went to the kitchen, I heard Rafe, "Seems like you have enjoyed dinner a lot and slept till late? Which one was better? A al or dessert?"
I clearly knew what the bastard ant. We were living in the sa house and if they didn’t know what’s going on in this house, then they are better off dead.
"Dessert," I answered shalessly and got the water bottle for myself.
"Bastard showing off?" Lucian frowned, "You better be careful."
"I was. Don’t worry," I assured them of what they were worried about.
Kael ca downstairs with Raven. Eira wasn’t with him.
"Where is she?" I asked, passing him another bottle while Raven had already gone to Fluffy.
"In my room," he answered as he had a sip, "Probably waiting for you to empty the room so she could go there."
"Damn, the little witch is embarrassed after climbing over our guy," Rafe chuckled.
"Shut up," I said to him, "Go tell her to use my room."
Rafe frowned, "You won’t let sit peacefully."
"No one else is as peaceful and idle as you in this ho," I countered as he walked away.The bastard showed a middle finger before going upstairs.
He opened the door without even knowing and we could hear him talk, "Caldwell, co out and get ready."
We didn’t hear her response until we heard Rafe again, "Hurry up before Roman cos here to check on you. Want to call him?"
The next mont, a frail figure ca out of the room, hurried down the stairs and headed to my room without even looking anywhere.
I couldn’t help but chuckle softly. She was being demanding last night and now embarrassed all of a sudden.
"I had called Isla to co here instead of us going to the hospital," Kael said. "She can have her sessions in the side house."
"Liam, had he not prepared the reports yet?" Lucian asked.
"He will inform us," Kael assured, "He was performing surgeries in the night. Give him a break. We will know the reports by the ti Isla finishes her session."
All of us were desperate to know the result. I hope the result is what’s good for her and makes her happy, whether it’s negative or positive. Her happiness matters the most.
Eira was finally out of the room, acting all normal and diverting her attention mostly to Raven so she wouldn’t have to face any of us.
As we all settled at the breakfast table, Rafe couldn’t keep his mouth shut. "Roman told last night he loved the dessert."
As a male I was—shaless to the bones—none of us felt anything, but her face had turned red.
"Shut up and eat," she warned him.
"So you know how to be shy. That’s news to ," he comnted anyway.
"You are the flag bearer of shalessness, how will you know the embarrassnt?" she countered. "Now eat quietly or I’ll smack this dish...." She stopped and looked at Raven and changed her words. "I an, I won’t eat what’s in this dish."
Before Rafe could say more, Kael intervened, "Let her eat."
One word from Kael, and Rafe as usual shut his mouth.
Isla arrived at the ho. Though all of us were there, only Kael was supposed accompanied them for the session.
Rafe and I deserved to stay away, as in the past Isla used to be our psychiatrist. Back then she was a young doctor who was working with Kael’s mother to save the kids like us.
And both of us didn’t quite like the fact that she had seen us at our worst and she knew everything about us, our psychic state, more than we did. We had been an open book to her that she could read anyti, and we decided to close that book long back after we turned adults and were free to leave the orphanage.
Lucian and Jason preferred to stay away from her as well. After that incident six years back, when their mother Jennifer died, both of them had lost it. The war of revenge couldn’t heal them from the loss of their sister, and Jennifer’s death broke any sanity they had left.
Both of them drowned themselves in drugs and drinks and would leave ho for long without letting us know. Kael, Rafe and I used to find them at random deserted dark places in the forest. Only after they were treated by Isla and had a mate-brother bond with Kael, both of them were better and turned into what they were today.
I wonder if they went to see Eira in prison after Jennifer died, in that badly disturbed state, what they did with her. Did they hurt her? I couldn’t dare ask her or them at this mont. Maybe one day they will tell us on their own.
When Isla arrived, she preferred to see Raven out in the open.
"Hello, Raven," she greeted him. "You must recognize , so I don’t have to introduce myself, right?"
Raven nodded.
"Such a smart kid you are," Isla praised him. "You are going to make your parents so proud one day."
"We are proud of him even now," Eira said. "My son is amazing."
"Indeed," Isla replied.
The change and excitent in Eira when it ca to Raven was indeed admirable. If it wasn’t for Raven’s arrival, it would have taken us longer to get her out of the darkness she was in.
Isla talked with us while keeping an eye on Raven, who was now busy with Rafe. Both of them were having so secret talks these days, but none of us knew what they were. We could only hope Rafe wasn’t going to teach him sothing he shouldn’t.
"I am amazed how well he had blended with you guys," Isla said in a pleased tone. "He is not expressionless now. Though still quiet, his eyes are brighter than before, his way of response is more active, and he even smiles. It won’t be long until we see him talk and laugh like kids."
"When he giggled, his voice was so sweet," Eira said, "I can’t wait to hear him talk... Maybe call mommy soon..."
"He will. Just continue what you have been doing," Isla suggested.
"What we have been doing?" Lucian comnted, "Then, we have to build a few more houses for two monsters to destroy them."
Isla chuckled, "That’s not a bad idea."
We looked at Kael.
"Did you hear?" Lucian asked.
"All of you can go ahead and break everything we have," Kael said, "I will pay for all of it."
"Rich man!" I comnted, to which Jason said, "What’s his is ours now."
"That makes sense," Lucian said, and looked at Eira, "Will you be a part of it? Destroy a few hos?"
Eira looked at Kael, to which he said, "Everything’s yours."
She looked back at Lucian, "I will help Raven, so he won’t hurt himself."
She didn’t deny from accepting what Kael said. That’s a good change.
anwhile, Isla was noticing us all. I wondered what she was thinking, but I was sure it was nothing unpleasant.
"Let’s sit sowhere and talk," Isla said to Eira, "Don’t forget, you have a session as well."
"I think I am fine now," Eira said, sowhat not willing to go with it.
"How about we talk like friends. Maybe you can complain to about these five alphas, or ask so advice on motherhood, or we can just gossip about random things," Isla insisted, "And I have already accepted the fees for it, which is not refundable. I am an expensive doctor."
"Already paid?" Eira asked and looked at Kael.
Kael humd. "But, it’s not much even if it is wasted. You can decide for yourself."
He was giving her a choice, but we knew better. If she was the sa Eira from the past, she wouldn’t waste money. I wondered if her grandparents were so poor to keep her tight on budget all the ti.
"We can talk for a while," Eira told her.
Both of them went to the side ho. I hope Isla will co out with a good news that Eira was fine now, so we can tell her about Raven. That he was her son Ray.
