Eira’s POV
Raven’s class was over. The teacher had left while I talked to him, my son.
"How’s the class today?" I asked him as I knelt before him.
He stared at before showing the book in his hands.
"You loved studying it?" I asked.
He nodded.
He didn’t answer , but it let change my question to sothing he could answer through action. I couldn’t help but smile at his smartness, while my attempt to get him to talk failed miserably.
I caressed his head gently, "You must be tired. How about I get you juice to drink?"
He nodded.
I led him to sit at the dining table and went to the kitchen. Roman had co to the kitchen as well. "You are yet to eat," he said and headed to get food for .
I realised that after coming out, I went to see Lucian, and now I truly realized the hunger in my stomach. My baby must be starving.
I got juice for Raven and settled in front of him. "The one you like."
He smiled lightly and took the glass. He wasn’t acting like a stranger with now, and that was a relief. Maybe soon we would start to be like real mother and son. I couldn’t wait to hug him tight, squeeze him in my arms until I felt every bit of his existence.
Roman brought a al for and settled next to in the chair. "You should eat."
I nodded and looked at Raven, "Want to eat sothing as well?"
He shook his head.
"Kael made sure he ate well," Roman told , "and Jason cooked just what our little guy loved the most."
I could see that in my dish. Jason was thoughtful to always cook to everyone’s preferences, especially Raven’s and mine.
Kael returned ho by late noon. He had never stayed away from ho for this long since I had been here. That made wonder if sothing serious had happened.
All of a sudden, ho felt empty without him, and I was glad he was finally back. Maybe I felt safer with his presence around for our kids’ sake.
But the mont our gazes t, the monts from the previous night flashed in my mind. He ca straight to .
I cleared my mind of any other thoughts and asked, "Anything serious...?"
He shook his head, "Just a eting about pack matters."
"Before, I never saw you going for such a eting..."
"Caldwell, if you reduce your sleep ti and pay attention to everything, you will know all of us are busy and have various things to do other than just be at your service."
The bastard. I glared at him. "I didn’t ask you."
"But I thought to tell you about it," he countered smugly, "We all have various departnts in our hands, and we work when you are in your dreamland."
I looked back at Kael, and he nodded. "Don’t mind his words."
Of course I didn’t. His words ant little to .
"My company work is secondary. As an Alpha, I have to have frequent etings with pack leaders to look into various matters. I have carried these etings through video calls since you ca here, but today I had to go in person."
"And other than Kael, the rest of us are various main leaders of different departnts and work the sa way," Rafe added.
Instead of angry, I was curious now.
"Who handles what?" I said to Kael. "I want to know."
Kael humd and led to sit on the sofa, "You are already aware of Lucian being the head of pack security, and there are various leaders under him to carry his orders, update him about the situation, and then he instructs them."
I humd.
"Just like that, Roman doesn’t just handle the finances of the company, but he is the head of pack finances. There are a few leaders working under him. Jason handles the health and education departnt and, in his spare ti, also joins Lucian in his work, so in case Lucian is hurt like today, he is there to handle it."
"Perfect for the top student of his ti," Rafe comnted. "Jason was always the smartest in studies and also, being a doctor, made him eligible. He is our multi-talented guy. He should be the head of the food departnt as well, given how well he cooks."
"Not a bad idea," Roman comnted.
I could only agree. Alice used to often yap about how her brother Jason was best in everything. A model student, her mother’s most favourite child, and what not.
"What does this idler bloodsucker do?" I asked.
"He handles IT and other tech departnts," Kael answered. "As everything is about technology nowadays, his role is crucial in our security."
Oh! I saw him working seriously on a laptop a while ago. Seems like he was busy working.
"Good to know he doesn’t idle around."
"Less than you at least," he said.
I pointed my finger to my belly and raised a brow, with a smirk on my lips. "I am sure this work beats what you do."
"This work of yours goes through so hot, steamy, enjoyable nights, unlike mine boring ones," he smirked badly, "and my fingers only work on the keyboard, no wetness, no pleasure for or my laptop."
"Shaless!" I frowned and looked back at Kael, "Please make sure Raven stays away from him. I don’t want him to be a pervert like this bloodsucker."
Even before Kael answered, he said again, "He will learn all the perverted things on his own. He is a child of a top-tier Alpha. After sleeping with his father, do you think a child will be any less than his dad? As far as I rember, Kael used to be just like Raven. But now look at him...."
"Shut up," I interrupted him before he said sothing bold about Kael. I didn’t want to hear it after experiencing it.
"I am sorry. I didn’t know you people are so busy," I said to Kael. "I will try to..."
"Don’t worry about it. My beta takes care of everything just fine, even if I am not there," he assured her. "Until we get rid of the threat for our kids, it will continue the sa."
I accepted it, as for , my kids ca first.
"They called you in person," Roman said, "Is it about what happened yesterday at the council?"
Kael nodded. "Now they know I have a son, a heir of this pack, they wish to introduce Raven to our pack," and looked at , "they also want to et their Luna."
I was a little taken aback. I wasn’t ready for it at all. I won’t be. I just want to be in my small world, away from outsiders.
As if he understood my worries, "Don’t worry. We are not in hurry. I told them it will happen when you are ready. And about Raven, I have explained them about the situation and the threats around him. So they agreed with whatever I decide."
That was a relief. I didn’t want Raven to be in danger and be surrounded by strangers yet.
