Roman’s POV
Knowing she already had a mate—it cut deeper than I wanted to admit. It wasn’t just anger. It was hurt. If that bastard truly existed, why hadn’t he protected her? Why had he abandoned her, left her to rot in chains and blood?
Just as Kael said, he truly deserved to die, and we will kill him the moment we find him. No mercy at all. He lost her when he didn’t hold on to her, and now she was ours.
That night, I stayed by Eira’s side. The mark was there, etched into her flesh, yet my soul and my wolf felt no tether. No pull. Nothing that should have been there between us. It hollowed me, gnawed at me, burned me alive in silence.
We had to wait for the next day for Liam to arrive home, none of us could really sleep.
The next day, Liam came to our home early in the morning as instructed. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
"You called me with such urgency," he said with a frown as he entered the drawing room. "I had to rush here the moment I returned to the city."
"If you hadn’t come on your own, we would’ve sent our commandos to drag you here," Lucian said coldly, his hands tucked in the pockets of his trousers, fist clenched, voice laced with threat.
Liam’s gaze flicked across us, and he finally caught the look on our faces—grim, cold, edged with violence. His brows furrowed. "Don’t tell me you bastards did something to her again, and now you’re regretting it."
"Shut your fucking mouth and sit," Jason growled. "And keep it shut unless you’re answering what we ask."
Jason clearly was in his usual mood when he started preparing his victim for the torture to get the answers from them.
In response, Liam looked at Kael, who said, "Have a seat. Let’s have a talk."
Liam sat on the sofa. Lucian and Jason stood on the side, their expressions serious, ready to kill this bastard if he hid something from us.
I had doubts about him even before, so I kept my calm to hear him out. Rafe acted nonchalant with his focus on his mobile screen, but I knew well his ears were on us.
Once Liam settled, Kael said as he looked at him, "Eira has a mate—you know it?" His tone was as if he was not going to accept any bullshit from Liam. "I want nothing but the truth."
As expected, Liam’s expression tensed a little, but the bastard covered it and said, "I once asked her about it, but she refused to answer clearly."
"Tell me everything you talked to her about," Kael’s icy voice cut in as he was at the edge. "Her mate, what’s the extent of their relationship, and if she bred for him. You are a doctor—you must know it. Hide anything, and I will first kill her right in front of you, and then it’s your turn."
Liam kept his calm. He was never scared of dying, but maybe he was worried about her.
"Alright! Seems the time has come to let it out," Liam finally said, exhaling. "She did have a mate. But according to her, he’s dead. She even said she killed him herself. Though I don’t believe that part. It sounded more like hatred—deep hatred. So much so, she can’t even bear to hear his name."
"Why?" Kael’s voice was sharp, demanding.
"She never revealed the reason," Liam answered.
My blood boiled. "Did she breed for him?" It was my way to confirm if they had mated and completed their bond.
