Sold To The Alphas I Hate novel Chapter 208

Chapter 208: Kael’s Pain

Lucian’s POV

The morning next day was unusually quiet. Not just for our home, but for the entire pack.It was the mourning day for the massacre that happened six years back and every pack member still remembered its pain.

Those who had lost their family members, friends, they visited their graves and prayed for the peace of their souls. There were no common gatherings for it to remember that day, as the Alpha of this pack preferred to spend this day alone. Everyone was free to do it the way they wished.

Eira had woken up early and got ready just like the previous day to meet Raven, but she was quiet as well. This day was the start of her pain and loss since year back.

After waking up, she sat with Alice’s picture in her hand, just staring at it with her moist eyes. I had to get her out of the room saying we had to go see Alice. Only then she moved.

Roman had returned home as well, quiet and avoiding talking about anything at all. If not for this day, I was sure he wouldn’t have returned.

In the quietness we started to prepare breakfast, Eira was busy with her pets. But Kael and Raven weren’t here yet. The previous day Kael at least came downstairs early so Eira could go to Raven, but today there was no sign of him despite it already being so late.

Eira would look at the stairs once in a while, but felt disappointed every time.

"Do you think she will get angry at him today?" I asked.

"Most likely," Rafe responded while pulling out the blood bag from the refrigerator.

She was already sad because of this day, and Kael making her wait to see her son wasn’t going to sit well with her.

"Shall I check on them?" Jason asked, "It won’t be good if there is a fight between them today."

"Let’s wait till we serve breakfast. If not, then you can go to them," I suggested.

There must be a reason why Kael wasn’t here yet. He wouldn’t do it purposely, at least not today. He must be busy dealing with his own emotional pain, which he didn’t want anyone to see. So typical of Kael to hide in his room in such a situation.

Breakfast was served on the table and all of us settled in the chairs.

"I’ll go check," Jason stood up.

But just then, we saw Kael finally come out, descending the stairs with Raven holding his hand. Both of them were dressed in black clothes, black shirts and pants.

They looked like the perfect pair of father and son in matching sets of clothes. I wondered when Kael had gotten them for Raven.

As it was the mourning day, all of us had worn black as well, including Eira, who wore an elegant black dress. Eira’s expression softened a little at Raven’s sight, but she didn’t spare a glance for Kael.

Since they were present, all of us started breakfast. Kael took care of Raven by serving food and helping him, though he didn’t really need it. And Raven accepted it all.

It looked like somehow Raven had gotten very close to Kael. Both of them talked about nothing, yet there was a silent understanding between them, like a perfect pair.

Eira, who was sitting on Kael’s left and exactly opposite Raven, could only watch them in silence. I could feel her jealousy over it, as if she had fewer rights over Raven than Kael. I could already smell that soon there was going to be a volcano eruption at home in the form of someone’s anger.

Unlike other days, we continued to eat in silence. No fun, no teasing, no sarcastic or mocking comments from anyone.

Just as breakfast was about to be over, Kael said, "Eira, I want to take you somewhere..."

"Breathing the same air as you isn’t enough that you expect more from me?" she cut him off, her calm tone carrying a silent cold glare.

Kael silently looked at her for a moment, then had his last bite to finish the food.
