Chapter 271: Feeling Each Others’ Pain

Rafe’s POV

Once we stepped outside, Liam was waiting for us.

"Has she answered everything?" he asked.

I nodded, while Kael asked, "Where is Eira’s file?"

"I left it in the security room where we were talking," he said. "I didn’t go check on Eira as she would ask about her reports and...."

"You did well," Kael interrupted him and turned to the two guards who were always there on my instructions since the day I started doubting Sophia.

"Keep watch on them. If they try to run away, don’t show any mercy," Kael instructed and turned to leave.

"Make it a lesson they won’t forget," I added.

The guards bowed in understanding.

I pulled out the cellphone from my pocket and said, "You heard it all. I’ll hang up now. We are heading back home," and cut the call after listening to the reply from the other side.

Before entering Sophia’s room, I had already made a call on Lucian’s mobile and let them hear what Sophia told us.

Liam followed Kael. "Are you not going to explain anything to me?"

"My mate is more important than you," Kael said and walked away.

At this the old man stopped.

"Liam, later," I assured him as I understood what Kael was hurrying for.

I followed him quietly to return home with him in his car.

I could sense Kael’s emotions that were no different from the dangerous storm brewing inside him. And I was no different.

When he reached the driver’s side, I stopped him, "I’ll drive."

I didn’t want him to drive in a situation where he was overwhelmed with the storm of emotions.

We headed back home. On the way, a group of students were passing by the roadside.

Both our eyes followed the girls among them that resembled Eira from the past.

Kael’s eyes didn’t leave those girls as if he was seeing Eira in them. His heart and mind were being overwhelmed more than he could bear.

I increased the speed and drove away. As we crossed the crowded city and reached the deserted highway that connected to the estate, I took a sharp turn and drove down the road and onto the vast empty land that led to the valley ahead.

I stopped the car in the middle of the deserted grassy land and sat quietly.

There was dead silence inside the car and outside other than the sound of the wind brushing past.

After a long silence, I finally heard Kael, who had been dead silent since we left the hospital.

"What was her fault?" he muttered, his voice heavy with emotions, his eyes blankly staring outside the window. "...That she was my fated mate?"

I had no answer to it. But we knew they were somehow aware these two were fated mates and wanted their pureblood child.

"Why did they have to do it with her?" his voice choked this time. Though I didn’t look at him, I knew finally he couldn’t stop his tears.

The sight of Kael shedding tears was the last thing I would ever want to see. It hurt more than anything. He had always been our strong shield, a protector. If something hurt him a little, that hurt us more.

"She was just a young naive girl... She must have been so scared... hurt... lost... and they...." he choked finally, "...I don’t know how she even bore all that pain.... It’s all my fault... She suffer just because she’s my fated mate... I wish she was just an ordinary girl... I wish I had never met her... I wish she was never hurt... I wish...." He finally cried, "...I can only wish... I can do nothing else... I am the one who hurt her... I have ruined her life... Only I am to blame..."

I didn’t stop him or try to console him as he needed to let it out. My own eyes were teary. I only listened in silence.

"...I know why she used to look at me that way, like I am a monster..." he mumbled, "...I am indeed a monster in her life. I am everything that scares her... a black wolf and her rapist... I truly wish I had never met her..."

He continued to cry while looking away toward my side of the window and wiped his own tears.

Damn! I wish I could just wipe out this past and all of us could start all over again. But just as Kael said, we could only wish.

At this moment, I even thought... what if she had never come to our pack and we had never met her? And she was just an ordinary hybrid. If these things could have kept her safe, I was ready to never know about her existence at all.

Just then, I received a call from Lucian again. I answered and listened to him.

"Hmm... that’s the case," I replied, my voice equally heavy.

After I hung up the call, I finally spoke to Kael.

"Kael, I know there’s no need for me to try to coax you, as you already know everything better than anyone. And you also know what to do next and how to keep yourself levelheaded. But if something from me can make you feel better, then I will say this— we can’t change what happened to her, but we can definitely decide and change what happens to them. Let’s avenge our mate."
