Eira’s POV
I moved my head to look up at him, and he lowered his gaze to look back at . He looked so calm and serene after venting out what he had been holding for long. Would have been so difficult for him.
"Will you promise sothing?" I said.
"Anything you want," he assured.
"You won’t hide away when you need . Instead be honest with ," I said.
"Will you do the sa?" he asked.
I nodded.
"I promise," he agreed and pecked on my forehead. "You should sleep now. Do you want to carry you back to the room."
"No," I said quickly, "Roman’s there."
"He wouldn’t mind. Well aware what you had been doing here with ," he smiled lightly, maybe my shyness felt amusing to him.
"Still. Just stay here."
He relented to my pleading and we decided to stay here until the sun ca out, which wasn’t far now.
-------
When I woke up, I found myself in Kael’s bed, under a warm blanket, in a night dress that was different from what I wore the previous night.
No one was in the room. I looked at the clock and it was almost noon. Damn! My monster mate had drained so much that I slept this long.
I got out of the bed, freshened up and went downstairs. Inside my heart was racing as if I was guilty of sothing.
Was Roman in the room when Kael brought back? I felt like I was stuck between two mates. What must he be thinking?
"Afternoon, Caldwell," I heard Rafe.
This bastard will definitely say sothing to embarrass .
"I thought you wouldn’t wake up until the evening with the kind of adventures you had with our Alpha last night."
Just as I thought. I glared at him. If he kept his mouth shut at least for once, that would be the day of the apocalypse.
"Shut up!" I looked around because Kael wasn’t there.
"He has gone to the pack house to deal with so pack related matters," Roman told . "His Beta, called for an urgent eting."
"And in case you are wondering who took you back to the room, then that wasn’t Kael," Rafe told .
Then who? Please, don’t tell it was Roman. But then it wouldn’t make anything better if it was soone among the other three.
"Kael was in a hurry, so he asked ," Roman told as he ca to , "I hope you had a good sleep," and pecked on my forehead.
I didn’t know what to say. One brother fucked , and other took care of . I hope Roman didn’t feel ignored.
I looked in his eyes to find the answer. He offered a smile, "You shouldn’t overthink."
"Are you fine?" I asked, unsure what I was referring to.
"I am." It didn’t feel like he was pretending.
"This is how things work when you have multiple mates. You will get used to it," he added. "Alright?"
I offered him a light nod and asked, "Where is Raven?"
He signalled towards the glass side window from where I saw Raven was sitting inside the gazebo with his teacher.
Then I looked at others. Rafe busied himself on the laptop, unsure what he was doing, but his fingers were running on the keyboard at a speed of lightning. His expressions were serious.
Since when did this bastard have work to do?
Jason wasn’t there as I looked towards the kitchen.
"Jason is taking care of security work," Roman answered.
Relief washed over that everything seems normal just like every other day. But then I rembered sothing....soone.
"Lucian?" I asked.
"He is resting in his room. He is awake, but Kael had warned him to stay in his room."
"I should see him," I said.
Roman offered a nod, and I headed to Lucian’s room.
I hoped he was entirely fine.
I knocked on the door, lightly.
"Since when we started knocking on the door?" I heard an annoyed voice.
Is it the right ti to see him? I wondered, but opened the door anyway.
He was lying on the bed, hand covering his eyes, and he looked restless. Must be in pain.
"Lucian," I called.
He uncovered his eyes and looked at . His pained expressions changed to the silent ones as he looked at silently.
"I...ca to see you..." I muttered under his pressuring gaze. "...if you are alright?"
He didn’t respond, while I dared to go close to him, to his bed. I tried to comprehend how one treats the patient when they visit them.
I leaned a little and touched his forehead. "There’s...no...fever..."
What was I even saying? He wasn’t a kid, but this was the only way I could figure out.
He held my hand at a wrist in a firm hold, tugged a little that made sit at the edge of the bed, leaning at him, his face closer to mine, his gaze as if looking through my soul.
Did I offend him by treating him like a kid, while he loved to act all tough.
I opened my mouth, "I...."
"You sll like Kael," his voice, every nerve on his body seed tense, his gaze almost dark, "I can still sll it."
Damn! My heart skipped a beat at his reaction.
Was he jealous, upset? But Roman just said it was fine and I shouldn’t overthink.
Was Roman truly pretending to be fine?
I looked at him warily. "Lucian...."
He didn’t budge and said instead, "Hurt wolves are dangerous. You should stay away, especially when the one is like ."
Is he asking to stay away from him?
Last night Kael said the sa thing. But he was anything but dangerous to .
As if he got back to his senses, he quickly let go of my hand and cursed under his breath. Fuck!
"Are you alright?" I asked, anyways, trying to keep my calm.
One thing I knew, none of them would ever hurt .
He shut his eyes and turned his face the other way as if he couldn’t stand . "You should stay away from until I get better."
"I...."
"You should listen to him when he says it, Caldwell. He isn’t Kael," Rafe had entered the room with sothing in his hand.
A potion vial that witch doctor had given for Lucian.
"He can truly beco sothing that you might regret," Rafe said and ca to my side, nudging to step away. "You should keep in mind, this one is most dangerous among us all when it cos to you."
I stood up to make a way for him.
He offered a bored gaze to Lucian, and let out a sigh, "Done with venting, Luke?"
"Fuck off!" Lucian spat out as he looked at him, anger rising inside him once more.
"I will, once you open your mouth for ," there was a teasing smirk on Rafe’s lips, as if his words hinted sothing else.
It clearly angered Lucian. He gritted teeth, his jaw tensed. "Wait for to get better, and I will make you open not just your mouth, but your ass."
My eyes widened a little. What was going on?
A felt a hand around , resting on my shoulder.
I looked at Roman and he said, "That’s how they talk. Do you mind?"
I shook my head. I looked back at them, and thought it was interesting.
A chuckle almost left my mouth at the mories from the past when Alice and I secretly read a boy couple novel. We were truly perverts for our age.
She would be shocked to her bones to see her brother talking in the sa manner to the other guy.
