Sold To The Alphas I Hate - Chapter 228

Chapter 228: Boring Interiors
Kael’s POV

Lucian had gone to check on the security details and to communicate with his people to get updates, while Jason had busied himself in the kitchen as we all were yet to have lunch.

I resumed my work in the company while conducting meetings through video calls and taking over Roman’s work as well. I wished to let him rest and take his time dealing with his matters.

Eira had come out of the room after getting ready and checked on Raven, but he had no intentions of waking up yet.

Smiling at his sleepy form, she decided to check on her pets and turned to leave, but I asked, “How’s Roman?”

“Seems fine,” she replied, looking back at me.

I could smell his scent on her even when she was a few steps away from me, so I could tell she had comforted him. It was good to see she had softened toward him, as he truly needed it at the moment.

“You did well today,” I told her, looking into her eyes.

She hummed, looked away, and left to go to her pets. I hope there would be a day when we start talking more than just what’s needed to.

At least she didn’t avoid meeting my eyes.

After half an hour, Lucian had returned and started helping Jason, in the kitchen.

At the same time, finally, two little demons stirred in sleep.

Rafe caressed Raven’s head while the little guy rubbed his eyes, unable to open them entirely and yawned.

Rafe stretched his arms while Raven moved to get up from his body.

“Good morning,” I said, looking at the two lazy beings.

Rafe yawned and looked at me. “Oh, you guys returned?”

“What do you think?” I asked, closing the lid of the laptop and turning my entire attention to them.

Raven stepped down on the floor, as Rafe had occupied all the space.

I gestured to Raven to come to me. Though, just a few hours away from him, I already missed holding him.

The little guy quickly came over. I lifted him and made him sit in my lap. The next moment he snuggled against me, how kids usually acted with their father.

Finally, a reaction like a normal kid instead of following the mannerisms he had been taught.

I held him closer and caressed his head gently as it rested against my chest. “Did you sleep well?”

He nodded lightly.

“Hey bud, acting like a traitor the moment Kael is back?” Rafe commented with a chuckle and sat in the sofa. “Trust me, you won’t get to enjoy him like you did with me.”

Raven looked at him but didn’t leave me. It felt so comforting and overwhelming. I knew he already considered me his father.

Eira came to us, leaving her pets. “Raven, you awake?” she said with a smile. “Come to mommy.”

I loosened my hold on him, letting him know he could go to her. I put him down, and Eira quickly got him in her arms. She sat on the other end of the sofa with Raven in her lap.

She hugged him, pecked his head, and closed her eyes to feel him while cradling him.

Only if Raven knew — just a few hours back she killed a woman in a brutal way for his sake, just because that woman mentioned using him. Only if he knew how fortunate he was to have a mother like her.

She truly deserved a greater reward. And I will give her. Once I make sure her psychic condition is stable, the first thing I will do is tell her that Raven is her child.

“So, how did it go?” Rafe asked.

“Little less messy than what happened in this home,” I said while looking around the almost destroyed drawing room.

Rafe looked around as well and let out a pleasant smirk. “Oh! I just thought the drawing room interiors were boring — the same one for the past six years. So, I created a chance for you to renovate it all over again.” He leaned back lazily on the sofa, his hands stretched along the backrest like a king. “You can thank me later. No hurry.”

I simply looked at him while Lucian came with a glass of water and offered it to Raven. Eira accepted it and made Raven drink it.

“What about me?” Rafe asked, looking at Lucian.

“You can suck some blood,” Lucian told him and turned to leave.

“Woah! Someone seems pissed?” Rafe commented sarcastically. “Are you sad we didn’t invite you to have fun with us, daddy Lucian?”

“Fuck off!” Lucian returned to the kitchen.

“Where are you going? I am yet to suck your blood,” Rafe commented, but Lucian paid him no heed. “Find someone else. My blood is not for free.”

“What does it cost, then?” Rafe asked.

“A kick on your butt,” Lucian replied, almost reached the kitchen.

Eira had covered Raven’s ears already glaring at Rafe.

Rafe was about to say something, definitely nothing pleasant, but I shut his mouth sensing her glare.

He offered her smirk, “I know I am irresistible. No need to make it so obvious.”

“Shut your mouth,” she said, “My son doesn’t need to hear you talk.”

“He heard me enough when he was with me,” he told her and looked at Raven, “It was fun, isn’t it?”

Raven was about to nod, but then sensed Eira looking down at him and he chose to not respond.

“The terror of this woman. Even the kid is not spared,” Rafe commented.

She glared back at him, while I had to suppress my smile.

Now Raven was wide awake, I told them, “Both of you are going to clean the mess you have created.”

“Do you call it a mess?” Rafe asked. “We were just playing and having fun. It was a show of entertainment.”

“You can have more fun while cleaning it as well,” I told him and then looked at Raven. “You are allowed to play and enjoy, but you have to be responsible for your actions. No one else is going to clean after you. Understood?”

He nodded obediently.

I turned to Rafe. “Understood?” My voice was strict, daring him to challenge my decision.

“Alright!” Rafe agreed and looked at Raven as he stood up. “Let’s go, bud.”

Raven stepped down from Eira’s lap. She didn’t stop him or question my decision. I looked at her, and she didn’t seem to oppose it.

“And!” I said, and both looked at me. “You are not going to use any of your powers,” I warned Rafe. “No use of speed and strength. Do it like an ordinary human.”

He sighed and acted to bow. “Understood, Your Excellency.”

He looked at Raven. “Bud, you need to bow as well. Like this.” He showed him. “That’s our dictator… I mean our Alpha.”

Raven understood and bowed in front of me.

“Get to work already,” I said coldly before this bastard put on another kind of show. Always a drama queen.
