Sold To The Alphas I Hate-Chapter 339: Once You Open Your Mouth For Me

Eira’s POV

I moved my head to look up at him, and he lowered his gaze to look back at me. 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 me something?" I said.

"Anything you want," he assured.

"You won’t hide away when you need me. Instead be honest with me," I said.

"Will you do the same?" he asked.

I nodded.

"I promise," he agreed and pecked on my forehead. "You should sleep now. Do you want me 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 me," 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 came 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 me 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 something.

Was Roman in the room when Kael brought me 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 something to embarrass me.

"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 some pack related matters," Roman told me. "His Beta, called for an urgent meeting."

"And in case you are wondering who took you back to the room, then that wasn’t Kael," Rafe told me.

Then who? Please, don’t tell me it was Roman. But then it wouldn’t make anything better if it was someone among the other three.

"Kael was in a hurry, so he asked me," Roman told me as he came to me, "I hope you had a good sleep," and pecked on my forehead.

I didn’t know what to say. One brother fucked me, and other took care of me. I hope Roman didn’t feel ignored.

I looked in his eyes to find the answer. He offered me 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 me that everything seems normal just like every other day. But then I remembered something....someone.

"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 time 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 me. His pained expressions changed to the silent ones as he looked at me silently.

"I...came 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 me a little that made me 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 smell like Kael," his voice, every nerve on his body seemed tense, his gaze almost dark, "I can still smell 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 me."

Is he asking me to stay away from him?

Last night Kael said the same thing. But he was anything but dangerous to me.

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 me.

He shut his eyes and turned his face the other way as if he couldn’t stand me. "You should stay away from me 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 something in his hand.

A potion vial that witch doctor had given for Lucian.

"He can truly become something that you might regret," Rafe said and came to my side, nudging me to step away. "You should keep in mind, this one is most dangerous among us all when it comes 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 me," there was a teasing smirk on Rafe’s lips, as if his words hinted something else.

It clearly angered Lucian. He gritted teeth, his jaw tensed. "Wait for me 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 me, 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 memories 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 same manner to the other guy.
