Roman’s POV
Either way, I moved quickly, grabbing a plate with pancakes, a glass of juice, and some French toast to take out to Eira.
"You only care about that bitch," Lucian scowled, as he stood up and instructed me. "Wait here."
He walked back into the kitchen, pulled out Fluffy’s eating bowl from the cabinet, and poured in some dog food before handing it over to me.
As he returned to his seat, Rafe couldn’t resist. "Were you worried for your pet or that bitch?" he asked with a smirk. "Fluffy does have a habit of stealing food from others’ plates."
"I don’t want him being fed by that bitch," Lucian replied coldly. "My pet, my responsibility."
I let out a sigh as I walked to the door. This bastard and his endless excuses.
Anyways, Eira was going to love eating this pancake once more. And I was not wrong. The moment I placed the dish on the table next to her chair, she quickly looked at it.
I placed Fluffy’s meal bowl on the ground and told him to eat, while I picked up that small lawn coffee table and put it in front of Eira.
"Finish it," I instructed.
Leaving Fluffy and Eira to eat, I returned to my brothers, only to hear from Kael what I didn’t want to.
"We have been ordered to be present in front of the council members and the elders, today," Kael’s clear voice reached me, and my heart skipped a beat, my expression soured with worry.
The day had finally arrived—time to face those bastard council members.
I wasn’t the only one. The same look of tension passed across the others’ faces as well.
I turned to look back at Eira, worry for her gripped my heart.
"Have they asked to bring her with us as well?" Lucian asked, though we had already discussed before that she would stay home with me.
Kael hummed, only to have all our expressions turn darker.
"But we’re not taking her with us," Kael said firmly. "Let them do whatever the fuck they want. We’re not submitting."
There was no disagreement. We were all on the same page.
I reached the table and took my seat beside them.
"When are we leaving?" Jason asked.
"In the evening," Kael replied.
"Kael, I don’t think leaving only Roman and Rafe with her is enough," Lucian said. "I should stay behind too, in case anything starts brewing while we’re gone."
Though I trusted both myself and Rafe to protect Eira, as we were no less, I still wouldn’t mind extra help. At that, Lucian was the strongest among us after Kael.
"I agree with this," I told them. "You and Jason—both your presence should be enough to test the waters there."
Everyone agreed to it. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

After we finished breakfast, Liam arrived—just like always—to check on Eira.
He greeted us casually, but his attention quickly drifted to the same scene we had been quietly admiring a while ago: Eira and Fluffy.
"Oh! That’s good. You got her a companion," Liam remarked, glancing at us with a hint of amusement in his voice. "That’s actually a thoughtful move... though, least expected from you."
"You can shove your sarcasm up your ass," Lucian snapped. "And for the record, that’s my pet. He belongs to this home. He’s not some fucking toy to entertain a sickly bitch."
