Rafe’s POV
By the time we reached, Eira was sitting on the sofa with Roman by her side, his hand wrapped around her to coax her.
Lucian had told me what she was going through due to Kael being emotional and hurt. It was good to see her calm and fine now.
Kael came inside with me and glanced at Eira. Once sure she was fine, he first went to Raven who was sleeping on the mattress by the window side with Jason still by his side, making sure nothing disturbed his sleep.
Now we knew Raven was Kael’s son, this truth hit truly different. Though we had already accepted Raven as ours, with this truth, it felt he was a part of all five of our souls. He was the son of our Alpha, our mate brother, and now ours as well.
Kael sat at the edge of the mattress and gently caressed Raven’s head. The emotions of a father that he didn’t know he even had a son. A son who was with enemies and was being tortured.
Through the bond, I could feel all my brothers felt the same as me. An overwhelming emotion that couldn’t be said in words.
Our eyes moist as we watched Kael. What must be his emotional state at the moment?Eira had her eyes moist, once more she was feeling Kael’s emotions, but she didn’t know.
She buried her face against Roman’s chest to hide her tears, probably thinking it’s just her body acting weird again.
Roman held her closer and coaxed her gently.
The rest of us could only look at each other.
After a while, Kael finally spoke. "Jason, take Raven to another room."
We understood Kael was going to talk to Eira and he was making sure Raven wasn’t there in case he woke up.
Jason followed the instructions and carried Raven to Roman’s room, which was downstairs.
Kael then looked at Lucian, "Where’s the file?"
Lucian pulled out the file from the drawer chest and handed it over to Kael.
Kael turned to Eira who was still trying to control her emotions. It showed Kael was hurting inside and it reflected in her, just that he was good at hiding his tears.
"Eira," Roman called her.
She opened her eyes and looked at him.
He wiped her tears and said, "Kael wants to talk to you about something."
She looked at Kael who walked towards her.
Roman released Eira from his hold and stood up. "I am just here."
He walked towards one side where Lucian and I was standing, and stood with us.
Jason had returned after leaving Raven in the other room.
Sitting on the sofa, Eira looked at Kael in confusion, probably thinking what’s there that he wanted to talk about all of a sudden.
Kael opened the file, pulled one page out of it and placed the file on the table. Eira watched him in silence, but was taken aback when he silently knelt before her.
I held my breath, my heart almost skipping a beat at what’s going to happen. We four could hear each other’s heartbeats as it was the moment we felt anxious, anxious to see Eira’s reaction.
"What happened?" Eira finally asked him, meeting his gaze.
Now we knew she hated him for what happened to her that night in the hotel room, but she at least preferred to communicate with him since a while now.
I was afraid after the truth laid bare, it might change and she goes back to hating him again.
Kael silently watched her for a moment before placing a report paper in her lap.
With her hand trembling a little, she held the paper, her expressions worried.
"You are pregnant," Kael said.
His voice, his gaze was calm and steady, masking any storm that was brewing inside him.
Her hands holding the paper shook visibly and she looked at him.
"Our child," he repeated in an assuring soft tone.
She let out heavy shaky breathing, her eyes moist, her hands clutching that report. Her lips trembled to say something, but no word came out.
Kael held her trembling hands and gently squeezed them to comfort her.
"What I said is true," he said, his silent gaze meeting her teary one.
