Sold To The Alphas I Hate - Chapter 274

Chapter 274: Unforgiving Towards Jason
Lucian’s POV

She was pregnant and exhaustion now clung to her like a second skin.

At that, past six years had exhausted her mind and soul. How much one could even endure at last to give up entirely one day. That’s what happened with her.

Jason hurried to get water for her. The bastard cried more than any of us — tears falling like every regret he had stored for years finally came undone.

He didn’t think when he was torturing her. But now? Now he looked like someone who wished he could go back in time and drag his past self to hell.

None of us had hurt her physically the way he had. And I wasn’t innocent either. I was an ass to support his actions.

We all carried our share of guilt.

But hers… hers was the only pain that mattered now.

The three of us went to her. Roman sat on one side of her and Rafe on the other. Bastards left no place for me.

“You are right. There is no use in hating our own people when we are going to live together,” Roman said quietly, gently — as if afraid one wrong tone would break her again.

She looked at him.

He wiped her tears and caressed her cheek, his touch soft and reassuring as he continued,”All we can do now is think about a better future, and a safe and happy life for our kids. The one we already have with us… and the others that would be with us soon.”

She nodded, slowly — as if accepting the words not just with her mind, but with her soul.

The way she looked at him, I could tell she trusted Roman more than she trusted any one of us. At least one of us was worth her trust. And I was sure, soon she will see the same in us.

“Caldwell, you seem to have grown up now,” Rafe said, attempting to lighten the air with a teasing tone. He patted her head. “Good girl.”

She shrugged his hand away from her head and narrowed her eyes at him. For a brief moment, that small reaction breathed a faint spark of normalcy into the chaos surrounding us.

Jason returned with a glass of water. “Have this.”

Eira didn’t look at him, but she took it. Her silence toward Jason wasn’t just rejection — it was a wound, deep and justified. She wasn’t going to forgive him that easily.

Jason knelt beside Kael, voice barely holding together. “I am sorry… I truly failed you…”

She quietly drank water, turning her gaze away from him. Her eyes turned moist again.

We brothers looked at each other. His apology hurt her more.

It was the first time I was seeing Jason apologising to her. I was sure he had tried before when we went to our old home on Alice’s death anniversary, but I know she must have rejected his apology even then.

I knelt on Kael’s other side. “I am sorry for what I did with you in prison.”

I expected the same silence she gave Jason — cold, distant — but instead she spoke.

“I killed your sister, so I deserved it. Nothing is worse than taking someone’s life, and I will never forgive myself for that. Even if I was drugged, I am a sinner.”

“Alice was Jason’s sister as well,” I said softly. “And Jennifer his mother.”

I wasn’t defending Jason — I was explaining his side. Because just like me, he had acted from a place of grief and loss. She might never forgive us… but I couldn’t let Jason be the only villain in a story where all of us were broken.

She didn’t respond. It was clear — among all of us, Jason was the one she would not forgive.

Maybe he had to do something more to earn her forgiveness and that something he himself had to decide.

I glanced at him, and he didn’t argue, didn’t flinch — just accepted it with the heaviness of a man who believed he deserved every ounce of her silence.

“I deserve to be punished,” he murmured, looking at her with eyes full of regret. “I accept it. But whether you want it or not, I am going to protect you always and our kids.”

She didn’t even give him the dignity of a reaction. She simply looked away, as if the sight of him was too heavy to bear. It wasn’t hate she had for him, but something too hurtful she didn’t want to talk about.

For a moment there was a silence.

Rest of us four had to see our one brother being isolated by her, and being hurt. As much we loved her, we brothers loved each other the same as if we were one soul.

Maybe one day she will change towards Jason as well. We could only hope.

I noticed the way all of us surrounded her — Rafe and Roman beside her, and the three of us kneeling before her.

Submitted.

Not just to her…but to our Luna. We had already accepted her as one.

This we had never done to any female or even felt acting this way. She had been the only one we were ready to give our all.

At that was a relief that Even after everything revealed today, the outcome wasn’t tragic. It wasn’t rage or rejection.

Maybe she had been waiting for the day when Kael acknowledge what he did with her, show his regret and ask for her forgiveness. Today she got it.

And she understood.

She finally understood none of us had been her enemy — we had been victims of the same darkness that tried to break her.

But I knew better that the damage done to her was too deep for our lives together to go that smoothly. It would be being delusional to even think about it.

The remnants of hate and bitterness always lives in the heart of the wounded one and they shows up once in a while.

And we will accept that as well, thinking we were fortunate to receive anything she offered at all.
