Eira’s POV
Once we had breakfast, Rafe brought two bags with him. "We have something for you."
I looked at the bags to see what it was, while I continued to pet Fluffy.
Rafe turned to Raven first. "Something for you," and handed him a few books meant for kids.
Raven accepted them and went to the sofa so he could keep them on the table and look through them.
Rafe settled at the edge of the mattress I was sitting on by the window side.
He pulled out the books from the bag and handed them to me one by one as he explained each of them.
"This one is about a rare pureblood like you. Liam had especially sent it for you."
I looked at the old-looking book, which had a leather cover with some ancient rune-style print. The title on it was written — The Rare Pureblood. There was a dark silhouette of a wolf howling at the moon.
He gave me another book. "This one is about the pregnancy of a pureblood shewolf. It will tell you everything about the changes you feel during your pregnancy, what you should do and what you shouldn’t."
As I accepted the book, he winked at me. "It says you need to mate often to have a strong baby with safe delivery."
I frowned at him, while he said again, "The phantom heat part is interesting. You should already choose and let us know who you would like to mate with. Either one of us or all of us... ah..."
I held his hand that was holding the book and scratched it mercilessly with my nails, making his skin bleed.
"Oh. Never mind," he looked at his hand. "This is a sign of you getting horny, so I won’t mind."
"I am not horny, but annoyed at your useless talk," I said angrily.
He raised a brow. "Useless talk, you say? Well, we will see if my words come true."
"Liam said it’s not necessary to mate in phantom heat if I can bear it," I told him with determination.
He chuckled. "I will grant your wish if you can truly control yourself. If you can’t, you have to grant my wish."
Why was this bastard so confident, or was he just confusing me into giving up already?
"Deal?" he asked.
I didn’t answer as I felt like it was a trap for me.
"So, you admit you won’t be able to control yourself?" he said. "Well, can’t blame you as you are surrounded by powerful alphas like us. Too much testosterone for you to resist."
"Shut up," I raised my voice.
"So deal?"
I nodded anyway as he wouldn’t let it slide.
"Good," he said and pulled out a box.
It was a brand new mobile, the kind these five used. In the past I had used the cheapest mobile which my grandparents passed to me after they had used it. A slow, old and error-filled tiny device, but it was of so much use to me as I could connect with Alice.
This kind of device must be too expensive and I couldn’t even afford to look at it, let alone touch it.
"For me?" I asked again.
He hummed. "You can open it."
I did as he said, while he explained, "I have already added five of our contact numbers in it, along with Liam and Isla, in case you need to talk to them."
I observed the device, and honestly I didn’t know how to even handle it. It was embarrassing.
Rafe guided me. He pressed four numbers on the screen. "This is the password to unlock it."
It was some random number. "What’s this number?" I asked.
"The day we kissed for the first time," he said coolly.
Bastard. I could never expect anything decent from him.
He got the mobile from my hand and held it in front of my face. "Stay still. I am adding a face ID to it."
It was done and he explained, "You just have to look at the camera and it will unlock on its own."
He explained a few basic things that I would need and I understood them quickly.
"Let me see what’s more there in the bag?" He pulled out a tiny old-style music player which had headphones with it.
"Who got this old thing?" Rafe observed. "Who the hell even uses it nowadays?"
But when I looked at it, old memories surfaced in my mind. I used to have this kind of tiny music player and listened to songs on it. My boring days weren’t boring anymore thanks to it. It was my precious companion.
He looked at me. "Do you want it? You can listen to songs on your mobile as well."
