Chapter 302 Roman In Trouble

Eira’s POV

Since the moment Roman left home, I wasn’t feeling well. I just wished he had stayed home.

“Why the long face, Caldwell?” I heard Rafe as he came to sit next to me by the window side on my mattress.

If I tell him, he will think something else and start teasing me about Roman.

“Nothing,” my tone was dismissive as I resumed reading the book about pregnancy.

“It’s been hours and your expression is still the same since Roman left home,” he said. “Missing him already?”

This bastard!

Is it written on my face for him to know it? But it’s not that I am missing him, but something strange and unsettling. Even if I tell this bloodsucker, he won’t understand and will simply tease me.

“It’s not that. Now get lost and let me read,” I turned around to face the other way.

He leaned closer and whispered into my ear, “After having some fun with Kael last night, now you don’t even miss him? Tsk! Poor Roman,” he teased.”

I quickly turned to look at him in shock.

How did this bastard know what I did with Kael? Isn’t Kael’s room soundproof?

I averted my gaze and couldn’t even dare ask him how he knew. Or it would be like admitting what he said was true. What if he was just shooting in the dark.

“Thinking how I know?” he asked, and I looked back at him again like a thief being caught.

Can’t anything be hidden in this home from others? If I did something with my mate, will the entire home know about it? Damn, no privacy at all.

Not waiting for my answer, he chuckled. “Your face, Caldwell! Your face always gives out what’s inside your mind.”

I touched my face in reflex and wondered what I even did to let it out.

“When we were asking you to cook for us, the way you looked at Kael, and then that dramatic blush, and looking away from him,” he sighed. “All those old-school dramatic reactions. Be creative for once.”

I frowned. “Creative? What do you want me to do? Jump on him and let you all watch us…” I shut my mouth, as this bastard always angered me enough to say whatever came to my mind.

“Whoa! I didn’t expect you to be so creatively horny,” he said. “Next time just do it and we will enjoy the live porn.”

I wanted to strangle him. I knew it. He always had something nasty to say.

He leaned closer, his face an inch away, and whispered, “Or better, the rest of us join you two as well.”

My heart skipped a beat and I leaned back to create distance from this dangerously sounding vampire. That day Kael and Roman were talking about it, and now this bastard wanted to add the others.

Do they want to kill me or what?For god’s sake they are all powerful Alphas, and not those filthy humans and hybrids.

“Don’t worry, you will be fine with five of us,” he whispered again. “You are a pureblood for a reason.”

Did he get it get my fear from my face as well?

“Get… away from me…” I scolded and moved back.

“Seems like the idea thrilled you,” he said, his red eyes gazing at me like a predator.

“Kael,” I shouted, “tell this bastard to get away from me.”

“Rafe,” Kael’s strict voice came through, which was enough to make this bastard back down.

“I was just suggesting something to her for her own good,” Rafe said to Kael.

Kael finally moved his gaze from his work to Rafe. “Don’t scare her.”

With his sharp hearing senses, he must have heard this bloodsucker for sure.

Rafe looked at me. “Scared? I thought she was thrilled with the idea.”

“Let her get used to all of us first,” Kael said and then looked at me. “Later, she will ask us on her own.”

My eyes widened. Now even Kael was siding with this bastard.

Somehow I felt like they were feeding these ideas in my mind and as if they were preparing me for it.

“You two, don’t talk to me.” I picked up my book and walked away to go outside.

I heard them as Rafe said, “See, you scared her more than I did.”

“At least she’s not scared of me,” I heard Kael reply.

“Yeah, now she is used to being in your bed to fear a hungry wolf like you.”

Damn. These two. Talking about me when I am still around.

They can dream on. I am not going to fulfil those weird fantasies of these people. Five of them? I don’t want to die. I want to live for my kids.

The entire day passed by. I tried my best to get Roman’s thoughts out of my mind, thinking he would return in the evening anyway. And now my gaze followed the door often, now that the sun had finally set.

When I was busy helping Raven with his puzzles, I noticed Lucian looked serious, and he was looking at his five brothers while talking on the call.

All of their expressions changed as if they understood what Lucian was saying.

Are they using a mind link to talk?

Sure they were, as the other three stopped their work and stood up from their places. It scared me. My intuition told me something serious had happened.

Then suddenly, Lucian, Jason, and Rafe turned to leave the house in a hurry, while Kael watched them with serious expressions.

“Raven, you finished this part. Mommy will join you soon,” I said and went to Kael.

From his stern expression, I was sure something was wrong.

“What happened?” I asked, worry gripping my heart. Roman hadn’t returned home yet, and something about him had been worrying me already since the morning. “I know you guys were using a mind link to talk.”

“Roman is in some trouble,” Kael said.

Finally, what I had been worried about.

“What kind of trouble? Tell me he is alright,” I asked as I held Kael’s hand, not even letting him finish answering. “Since morning something was scaring me… I just couldn’t understand it. Tell me he is fine…”

“He is a strong Alpha. He must be fine. Lucian, Jason, and Rafe went to help him as well,” Kael kept his calm, but through our bond I could feel he was anxious too.

“What exactly happened?” I asked.

“Some people attacked him while he was on the way home.”

“Attacked? Then why didn’t you go as well?” I asked, a little angry now. “You are the most powerful. You can stop many people at a time.”

“I can’t leave you and Raven alone at home,” Kael said. “My absence might cause greater harm here. Don’t worry. You should trust the other four. They are no less powerful.”

I could understand why he didn’t leave. I didn’t care about myself, but I did care about Raven and the baby inside me. I felt helpless that I could do nothing from here.

“I should have stopped him when he was leaving,” I mumbled as tears rolled down my eyes. “I didn’t have a good feeling… I should have…”

Kael hugged me and wiped my tears. “Don’t worry. They will be back soon.”

I could only listen to him and wait for Roman and the others to return. I was worried for them as well.

They were a family now.
