Sold To The Alphas I Hate novel Chapter 280

Chapter 280: Truth Of Eira’s Video With Keiren- I

Kael’s POV

"Eira, have your grandparents ever talked about your parents or any clue from where you people belong?" I asked, "Everyone has a place of origin."

She shook her head. "They just told me my parents died when I was a baby. How? Why they didn’t really explain. Nor did they ever say about our origin. The only thing I remember about Black wolf, that they said, was the reason we were on the run. That certain black wolf wanted to kill us," she tried to remember as much as she could, "I had told about this even before that why I feared black wolf."

Yeah, she had indeed told us. And her grandparents were the ones to fill her mind with bad things about a black wolf.

Liam sighed. "Even I was only aware of their existence in their previous pack. I wish I had been careful and tried to dig in more back then instead of trusting my friend blindly when he brought them to me."

She looked at Liam and to me for a while and asked, "Do you think my grandparents are bad people?"

I didn’t want to hurt her by saying something which we didn’t have solid proof about.

"It’s just our assumption that something is not right with them," I told her to keep her mind at peace, "We will know for sure once we find them. There is a chance they are a victim just like you."

She hummed lightly, but her own expressions puzzled, unsure.

"Eira, you always said your grandparents were strict with you," Rafe said, once more to pull her out of her conflicted thoughts. "Then, how come you were allowed to leave the home late in the night, the night when Alice died?"

"I sneaked out of the home," she answered, "I was told to not let anyone know about it. And my grandparents were sleeping so..." She stopped. That night she didn’t want to remember.

After a moment of silence, I asked again, "Don’t you want to know how I got to know about that night in the hotel room?"

She looked at me, her gaze questioning, "Who told you?"

I answered, "Sophia."

Her eyes widened in shock, "Sophia... she is alive..."

I nodded. "She is alive but has been bedridden for the past six years."

She looked like relief washed over her as if a weight of one murder had been lifted from her chest.

"Due to various reasons I got suspicious of her and got the truth out of her," I kept it short enough to let her understand. "She admitted that Keiren and her plotted it against all of us, from that night in the hotel till Alice’s murder."

"Why would she do it?" she asked.

"She wanted you to die if I knotted you and to turn my brothers against me. She wanted to isolate me as she found you people a hindrance in her way of becoming my mate. She knew I liked you and your existence threatened her..." I continued to explain. "...and Keiren’s our enemy."

Sophia’s reality shocked her.

"It’s true. Drugging me and bringing you to me was their plan. And they succeeded in it," I assured her again.

Eira looked utterly betrayed. "She... she was there... She told me..."

"It didn’t go as she wished. You were alive so she had to change the plan. She fooled you into taking your place and then became my mate," I had to explain my side to her as there was already news circulating about me and Sophia becoming my mate. "I remembered nothing between us. Still I didn’t even want to accept her, but my mother insisted on taking her responsibility."

Disbelief covered her face when she heard it.

"It was her and Keiren’s plan as well to kill Alice, and frame you so you won’t say anything about that night," I added, "They wanted to destroy us all, my pack, my parents."

Eira gritted her teeth. The relief she had after knowing Sophia was alive was gone entirely. "That bitch... I always knew she wasn’t good."

"You said once in your anger that she was cheating on me. You were aware of her and Keiren?" I asked.

"Once I saw her kissing someone, but didn’t know who that was," she replied, "I failed to see his face, but I was sure that wasn’t you. So..."

That bitch was whoring around, and fooling my mother with her pretense of innocence.

I had another thing to ask, so I went on.

"Eira, these things don’t end with just Sophia and Keiren. We have more enemies and for that I need to know the truth. Can you tell me how you ended up at the hotel? Alone, so late?"

She was hesitant, but answered anyway. "He threatened me with the video of me and said he would spread it everywhere. He said if I wanted him to delete it, I had to be there at the hotel. I didn’t want anyone to see it. But..."

"How did he force you into doing it?" I asked. The bastard forced my mate and even captured the video.

"I... did it to protect Alice," she said, her gaze lowered in embarrassment.

"How?" I asked.

Eira’s POV

I awkwardly cleared my throat, "It’s... cold. So..." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"Somewhere I want to go."

From the main path, she guided me to the woods and through some shortcut she knew, we reached the lakeside.

"Isn’t it a beautiful place to forget my sadness?" she said, looking at the lake reflecting the starry sky in the water.

It was indeed beautiful. Just a night before there was a full moon so the sky was still lit up with that slightly cut moon.

Both of us settled on the grass, talked and had some snacks we had in our bags.

"What did your boyfriend give you on the full moon?" Alice asked, "It better be something good or..."

"It’s good," I said before she could curse her own brother again.

"What is it?" she asked, her gaze curious.

I pulled out the pendant hiding inside my top and showed it to her. "This?"

She stared at it for a while before looking into my eyes, "Your boyfriend gifted you this?"

I hummed and asked, "You didn’t like it?"

She frowned and looked towards the sky. "It’s your boyfriend’s gift. What does it have to do with whether I like it or not?"

She was right.

Seeing me quiet, she said again, this time soft, "As long as you like it, value it, that’s what matters. And I think it’s a good gift. Must be a good guy as well."

I agreed with every word she said. And it wasn’t just a gift, but felt like he had left a part of him with me in case I missed him in his absence. It was so precious to me.

After half an hour, I said, "We should head home. My grandparents will scold me."

"Your grandparents are such a pain in ass," Alice frowned and stood up and offered me a hand, "Let’s go. I don’t want them to punish you."

Just as we stood up, two cars stopped by the lakeside after slamming on the brakes hard and making a noise. We were taken aback by this suddenness.
