Sold To The Alphas I Hate novel Chapter 288

Chapter 288: Apologetic Jason

When we were talking, Eira was utterly silent.

"What are you thinking?" I asked.

She hesitated before looking at me. "I... was thinking about our child... that witch had taken it away... what if she is hurting my baby?" Her eyes turned moist.

Damn.

"He is fine," I assured her.

Her eyes widened, "You... you found him?"

I nodded. "He is absolutely fine..."

"Where is he... no... don’t tell me..." she said on her own. Tears rolled down her eyes. "I promised you I will get better first. I will have Raven consider me his mother first."

I let out a sigh as once more she didn’t want me to say it.

"You are keeping him safe, that’s enough," she said, looking into my eyes.

"He is fine and healthy," I assured her, "just beautiful as you."

"They hurt him?" she asked.

I shook my head to not make her feel worse, to think she couldn’t protect him.

I wiped her tears and said, "He is a pureblood child they need. They wouldn’t hurt him. They must have planned to train him to fight from their side as our child would be nothing but extraordinary and powerful. But now he is with me, so there’s no chance for them to even touch his hair."

Her trembling lips curved into a gentle smile and she hugged me. "Thank you... thank you so much for saving him..."

I gently caressed her back. "He is my child as well. I am meant to protect him."

"Where’s Raven? Is he alone?" she asked.

"He is sleeping in the drawing room," Rafe answered. "Don’t worry. Fluffy is by his side."

She hummed, while I asked, "Aren’t you hungry yet?"

It’s been a while since she ate.

As if she finally realised her hunger, she nodded.

All of us went to the drawing room, where Lucian, Jason and Roman hurried to get the dinner.

"Why don’t you have dinner with us today?" I asked Liam.

He offered me a surprising gaze.

"Is it the Alpha ordering or a family of my patient offering?" he asked, a tinge of sarcasm in his voice.

"Whatever suits you," I said with a frown.

"I have some work. Next time maybe," he said, ready to leave.

Eira had gone to Raven and sat by his side to check on him.

I didn’t insist Liam and walked out of the home with him.

"Say it," I instructed. I could see he had something in his mind.

"The spell on her breaking is a sign that Eira’s wolf is getting strong," Liam said. "We do know she possesses supernatural power. We had already witnessed it when she saved Lucian."

I knew where he was going. "Once she delivers a baby, we will start her training."

He hummed in agreement.

Once Liam left, Jason came out as well.

"What’s the matter?" I asked.

He looked apologetic already.

"Just some random punchline I recently discovered inside one sacred place, so thought to use it," he answered.

"Where?" I asked.

"My brain. The most sacred place," the bastard chuckled.

"Seems like today you have decided on getting on my nerves," I said coldly, "Craving for some beating?"

"Ah! Don’t be so scary all the time, my Alpha," he said sarcastically as we entered the home.

After we had dinner together and had some talk, Eira was feeling sleepy. It was late, past sleeping hour already.

I got Raven in my arms and turned to Eira. "It’s time to sleep. Let’s go."

She was about to get up but looked at Roman, as if she was caught between us two. But at least she wasn’t reluctant.

Not like I was taking her away from Roman, but after the emotional rollercoaster she had through the day, staying with her mate was good for her and our child.

He offered her an assuring gaze and said, "I have important office work to do tonight."

She hummed and followed me upstairs.

Me, my mate and our child together.

"Rome, let’s have a drink," I heard Rafe say.

"I have work," Roman countered. "Get Lucian and Jason."

"We have more important work to do," Lucian said, "You can go out and suck some blood."

"I was planning to suck your... I mean your blood," he teased.

"Fuck off!" Lucian’s angry voice echoed.

Their chatter disappeared in the background as I closed the door of my room.
