Eira’s POV
"Want more?" he asked.
Still clinging to him, I shook my head. No more.
"Are you sure?" he asked again.
I humd.
"Sit here for a mont," he said and moved to the sink to wash his hands. Then he picked up my pants and helped put them on.
All that ti, I stared at him quietly. Sensing my gaze, he looked at . "What? Sothing?"
I shook my head, but still asked, "What about you?"
"I am fine," he said in a resolute tone. "Just worry about yourself."
I shut my mouth, sensing how tightly he was holding himself together. I could clearly see the bulge through his pants.
He caught my gaze and said, "Don’t tempt . It won’t end well for you."
I quickly looked away. He was dead serious when he said it.
What should I do? I had no answer.
In the past six years, it’s always n ca to , filled whichever hole of mine they preferred, fucked and left, while I only blanked my mind from it.
Once I was ready, he carried out of the bathroom, placed gently on the bed, and then followed under the blanket.
There was utter silence between us two now.
"Turn around," I heard him say.
I faced my back to him. The next mont, he held closer, his hands wrapped around as if trying envelop entirely like always.
And this ti there was a difference. I felt his hard cock pressing against my ass as if seeking a comfort of its own. His body was warr than usual.
I wanted to say sothing, maybe ask if I could do sothing to make him feel better, which felt embarrassing for to , but...
"Don’t move," I heard his restrained voice over my head. "Close your eyes and sleep."
I stilled and decided to as he said. Maybe my actions will only make it difficult for him. As an alpha, he wouldn’t be calm anyti soon.

Lucian’s POV
Once everyone had gone to sleep, I headed to Rafe’s room. I didn’t bother knocking and walked in. The bastard was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling.
"What do you want now?" he asked without even looking at . "Can’t sleep without ?"
"Yeah," I walked to the bed and placed the box in my hand on it. "Give your hand."
"I don’t give handjobs. I receive one," he countered, still staring at the ceiling. "Your hands are welcod inside my pants."
I ignored his bullshit, sat on the bed, and grabbed his hand.
He tried to pull it back, but I warned, "Stop and I’ll tell Kael everything."
He finally looked at . "Aren’t you tired of using Kael to blackmail every ti? Be creative."
"That’s the only way you understand," I said, already pricking the syringe into his hand.
"What do you need my blood for this ti?" he asked, not bothering to stop . "Aren’t you tired already?"
"I’m energetic enough to keep testing until I draw the last drop out of your body," I said as I drew enough blood and put the syringe back into the box.
"Why bother create a drug for , when you can be a help," he said and I looked at him.
The bastard smirked, "Your kiss worked really well that day. You can try again."
The bastard would never stop teasing with bullshit.
"If I kiss you again, I will make sure that would be the last kiss of your life," I told him.
"Woh! It already made horny. How about we try it now?" he said.
"I don’t do charity," I told him, "You better seek soone else."
He let out an inward sigh, "So boring. You were the only interesting thing, now are not."
I ignored him and asked, "How are you holding up without that drug?"
It had been a while since his last dose of that dangerous substance.
"As long as she doesn’t go into heat again, I should be fine," he replied. "That ans I’m good for at least a few months."
I humd. Finally he was being serious.
"What are you going to do with my blood this ti?" he asked again.
"You don’t need to know," I said as I picked up the box and stood up.
"You’d better stop wasting your ti on and use it on Eira instead," he said behind . "No one else knows it, but at least you do. I’m a lost cause."
"You’d better shut that mouth of yours and go to sleep," I said firmly. "Good night."
As I turned to leave, I heard him chuckle.
"Stubborn bastard."
"I have to be while dealing with the sa," I countered and walked out.
I am close to creating that drug, and I hope it won’t be too late.
I could tell how he hides his pain behind the pretext of teasing and acting cool.
What haunted the most was that mont- when so random night I go to his room, and he wouldn’t be there anymore.
That he would have been gone.
Every night I make sure to keep watch on him, not a wink of sleep I get.

Eira’s POV
The next morning, when I woke up, Kael and Raven weren’t in the room. As usual, I woke up late.
By the ti I got ready and went downstairs, everyone was already busy with their own tasks.
"Good morning, spoiled princess," I heard Rafe say as he was busy feeding his cat.
I glared at the bastard who could never say anything good.
"Don’t give that look," he said smugly. "The way you idle around the house, only knowing how to eat and sleep, and not offering any help at all, only a spoiled princess does that."
Well, that was true. I did nothing at all, but—
"I am doing what none of us can ever do," I countered shalessly and placed my hands on my belly as I raised a brow at him.
He let out a scoff. "So your idle brain is finally working to defend yourself. Not bad."
"Don’t trouble her," Lucian ca toward us. "She doesn’t need to do anything when five powerful Alphas are here for her. All she needs to do is idle around."
Rafe rolled his eyes at Lucian. "Here cos the knight in shining armor."
"I will always be," Lucian said as he stood next to , taking my side against his brother.
"I am not asking her to do any labor tasks," Rafe countered and looked at . "You can at least make us fortunate by cooking sothing for us. How long do I have to eat the sa shit these people cook?"
"You dare call our cooking shit?" Jason countered. "No more als for you from now on."
"My daddy Kael earns enough to fill my back account and to let eat outside," Rafe countered again.
I looked at Kael. He was busy working as usual, not minding our argunt, as if he was entirely deaf to it.
I noticed he was always busy like this and never ddled between his brothers when they argued.
As if by being busy, he allowed others to have their own space in this ho, which was his ho to begin with.
As if he sensed my gaze on him, he looked at . Our gazes t.
The next mont, what we did flashed in front of my eyes. Damn, it made my heart skip a beat once more.
I quickly averted my gaze and paid attention to the others.
