Kael’s POV
During the day, Eira took care of Raven. I busied myself with office work while keeping an eye on the two. The best sight to see was when Raven fell asleep with Eira on that mattress by the window side.
I couldn’t help but stop working and go to them. He had snuggled in her embrace with her hand wrapped around him. They looked like mother and child—exactly what they were.
Jason, who came out of his room to go out, came to me and watched them as well.
I fixed the sheets on them, while Jason instructed Fluffy to keep quiet. The hamster, cat Vixen, and her three kittens were napping as well.
It felt like this corner of the home was the most peaceful and probably a sleeping heaven. Only if we could be a part of it, but we had things to do.
Finally, evening was there, but Roman and Lucian hadn’t returned yet.
Jason informed me that Lucian was caught up with some important matters related to the RavenClaw pack. He was busy planning and planting clues that could divert their attention from our pack in their quest of finding Raven.
About Roman, when I called him, his mobile was turned off the entire day and he wasn’t even in the office. This guy has started to worry me now.
Before dinner time, at least Lucian returned home. He looked entirely worn out as if he had been running between hell and heaven.
"Everything went fine?" I asked him.
"Enough to buy us more time," he answered, not saying anything clearly in front of Raven and Eira, who were watching TV while sitting on the sofa.
Both of them had been glued to each other the entire day—playing with pets, sleeping, spending time in the garden, watching TV, playing whatever games we had bought for them. They were busy in their own world.
When all of us sat at the dining table for dinner, Roman was still missing.
"Did you check where Roman is?" I asked.
"He didn’t tell where he is, but messaged me saying he won’t be returning tonight," Jason informed. "He said not to worry about him. He is fine."
The frown on my forehead deepened. "If he doesn’t return by morning, go after him despite whatever he says," I instructed.
Jason hummed, while Lucian said, "Something is going on with him. The bastard won’t tell."
"Even in the hospital, he looked lost somewhere," Jason said. "At one point he turned off his mobile after reading something. He looked annoyed."
"Something happened in the hospital?" I asked, but then sensed Eira looking at me at that moment.
I looked back at her. Her eyes were as if they knew something.
But then she lowered her gaze and focused on eating.
Once dinner was over, and Eira and Raven went outside into the garden, I told Jason, "Check the hospital footage from the time when Eira and Roman were together in the hospital."
Soon, we got the footage and Jason showed us something that we didn’t expect to happen.
"That bitch— is she the one?" Rafe asked.
