Sold To The Alphas I Hate novel Chapter 402

Chapter 402: In The Pool

Roman’s POV

The next morning, after getting the rest she needed, Eira stepped out of the room and asked, "Where are the others?"

Only Kael and I were there. Kael was busy with the baby, making sure she stayed comfortable and undisturbed. These days, he looked like a man entirely devoted to his home, skilled in caring for both his mate and daughter.

"They’re having some fun outside," I told her. "You might want to see it."

"Fun?" she repeated, curiosity rising as she moved toward the side house.

"Not there. Upstairs," I said, guiding her toward the upper floor where we had a large swimming area.

Kael followed behind us, carrying sleeping Kaya.

When we reached the top, the sight before us made her pause.

Raven was in the pool, playing with Rafe and Lucian, while Jason sat at the side, watching them. It wasn’t just a pool. There were sliders built into it.

Raven climbed up and slid down into the water, Rafe stayed close to guide him, while Lucian waited in the water, ready to catch him if needed.

Rafe had been working on building these sliders for Raven, the promise he had made to Raven that they will have more fun.

Their loud voices, laughter, and teasing filled the space. Rafe and Lucian threw occasional curses at each other, but they kept their words in check around Raven.

Eira stood still, clearly taken aback. But then her expression softened.

Raven was laughing freely, his wide smile bright and unrestrained, showing his happiness.

"No sliding now. Go up and jump straight into the water," Lucian instructed.

Without hesitation, Raven climbed the metal stairs and stepped onto the diving board. Then he jumped.

Eira gasped. "Isn’t he scared?"

"He’s an Alpha’s child," I replied. "What did you expect? We were the same at his age. We used to jump into the river without thinking twice."

We moved closer to the poolside.

"Caldwell, get in," Rafe called out.

"No. I’m fine. You enjoy," she said, settling onto a sun lounger.

Lucian climbed out of the pool and walked toward her. "Come on."

"I don’t—"

Before she could finish, he had already lifted her into his arms.

"I don’t know how to swim. I’ll drown," she exclaimed. "And, I don’t have swimming clothes."

"You don’t need clothes to get into the pool," Lucian said with a smirk. "You need to take them off instead."

She immediately crossed her arms over her chest. "Don’t even think about it. Raven is here."

Lucian chuckled but listened. He carried her into the pool as she was, her loose knee-length white cotton dress soaking in the water.

"It’s not cold," she said, surprised the moment she felt the water.

"We maintained the temperature," Lucian said, guiding her into the water.

The moment he let go, she lost her balance and clutched onto him instantly, as if holding on for dear life. Lucian chuckled softly. "You won’t drown. I’m here."

She let out a small hum and turned to look at Raven, who swam toward her with ease.
