Roman’s POV
Liam had arrived at the estate, but he wasn’t led inside the ho. He wished to talk to us first, so the eting with him was scheduled at the security office where Eira wouldn’t know about Liam’s presence.
"Eira, we have so important work to do," I told her. "We are not going anywhere. Just at the security. In our absence, you have to take care of Raven."
She was delighted to hear Raven’s responsibility was given to her solely.
"Don’t worry. I will take care of him well," she assured and looked at Raven who was sitting next to her on the sofa, looking through the books.
When he was free, he preferred to read. Being idle wasn’t his thing.
"Raven, you are fine with it?" she asked.
He looked at her and nodded.
She smiled. "Then I will read new books to you. I love to read as well."
He nodded again.
Leaving them in the ho, we left for the security office. We could keep watch on these two through the security caras inside the ho.
We reached the security room and waited for Liam.
Sitting in the chair behind the office desk, Kael looked lost in thought. Well, he wasn’t the only one, but we all were.
Rafe was idling on the couch with his mobile, but his expressions told his attention wasn’t on what he was doing on the mobile.
Jason sat at the other end of the couch, silent, worry etched on his face, while Lucian slowly paced around the room.
I preferred to sit in the chair at the desk, only thinking about what worried Liam so much.
Liam finally arrived. The guard opened the door for him and left.
The old man entered the office, his expressions serious. His eyes gazed at all of us in a way he had never done before.
"Who out of you five is Eira’s fated mate?" he asked, a frown visible between his brows.
His words fell like a bomb.
’Why the hell is he asking this?’
I was sure none of us were, but then I looked around to my brothers. Two of them were looking at Liam just as equally shocked as , while the other two were calm and just looked at Liam.
These two were always calm in all kinds of situations, so I couldn’t tell the difference.
"Why are you asking it?" Lucian asked. "You know none of us are her fated mate. If we were, we would have told each other at least, even if not you."
Liam remained the sa, serious. "Alright. Let rephrase my question. Who among you five had mated with her until now? I know about Kael, but anyone else?"
Lucian and Jason looked at .
Alright, I had slept with her for two months, and recently I had been intimate with her, so they might have their doubts as Liam asked this way.
"We didn’t reach there. If we had, I had completed my bond with her," I told them.
So that left only Kael.
Liam went to the desk, leaned with his hand placed on the desk, and straight t Kael’s gaze, unhinged. "So, you are her fated mate."
It wasn’t a question Liam was asking, but he was sure of it.
Kael was as calm as before.
"What’s the aning of asking this?" Kael asked him, unaffected. "Even if I am, what made you so serious about this fact?"
Kael... Eira’s fated mate?
The fuck!
The three of us were shocked, but Rafe didn’t even flinch to know it.
Is this bastard aware of this fact? He must be, as he is closest to Kael among us four. Stuck to him like a shadow all the ti.
Kael looked at us, "Yes, I am her fated mate."
I got out of that shock and asked, "Since when do you know it? And why didn’t you tell us?"
The other two, Jason and Lucian, waited to hear it as well. We never hid anything from each other.
Kael maintained his composure as if he had done nothing wrong.
"When I got to know about it, she was already soone who had betrayed us and we hated her like she’s our enemy," he answered with honesty, sincerity. "It happened when I went to et her in the prison. But I had rejected her back then, so there was no aning to it. She wasn’t my mate any longer after that. Calling her my mate felt like a sin back then."
There was silence in the room.
Alright! We understood him. Any one of us would have done the sa.
"But, why didn’t you tell us after she was with us?" Lucian asked.
Kael maintained his calm as he t Lucian’s gaze. "We are mate-brothers now. And we have equal rights over everything we have. By telling you guys that I am her fated mate, I didn’t want to make you feel that I had first right over her or that you deserve her any less than . What we have, that’s equally ours and would be the sa always."
Damn it.
The way this guy’s always ready with his answers, we could never fault him out. Moreover, none of us wanted to ever fault him out as our trust in him was stronger than we trusted ourselves.
But still, sowhere in our hearts we wished if he had told this truth to us.
He had been keeping this fact in his heart for over the past six years. Back then he must been tornted with the fact that the girl, who caused his parent’s death and destroyed his pack, turned out to be his fated mate.
He must have felt like facing a cruelest joke of his life because fated mate is the most important part of Alpha’s life, the other half of his soul. And at that Kael was top tier Alpha.
Kael looked at Liam, who now sat in the chair as if sothing had bitten him to shock.
"Now, what about you? What’s the matter?" Kael asked Liam calmly. "What about Eira’s reports?"
Kael’s calmness had turned such a shocking situation with this revelation into sothing ordinary for us.
"Do you know the aning of being her fated mate?" Liam asked and put one file on the table in front of Kael. "See it."
Kael opened the file and I went to his side to see what it was.
"She is pregnant." I mumbled again. "Eira’s pregnant."
