Sold To The Alphas I Hate - Chapter 277
Chapter 277: The Phantom Heat
Jason’s POV
In the late afternoon, Liam had arrived home. The old man must be restless the entire time to know what exactly we got to know from Sophia.
After Eira was calm, we as a family were stable after the talk, only then Kael allowed Liam to come to our home.
Taking care of her was the first priority so Liam had to wait.
“Let him hear the recording of what Sophia said,” Kael instructed me.
It was a normal protocol to record such talks for the record and as proof. Later when we need, we could hear it again to find some additional clues that we might have missed.
At the security room, I let Liam hear it and then only guided him towards the home.
On the way home, Liam’s mood was entirely sore.
“Bastards are really something to ruin a young girl’s life and kill so many innocent people in our pack,” Liam mumbled with anger. “I wish all of them rot in the depth of hell but the death won’t grace them.”
Now that he sounded like a typical cursing old man.
“What do you think about the extent of involvement of her grandparents,” I asked as we walked together, “We know they are with Asher now. But you used to know them.”
“Bastards have sold out their own granddaughter. Only if I get my hands on them…..They were so clean with all records and their behaviour that anyone who knew them back then wouldn’t doubt them,” Liam said. “Bastards had managed to fool everyone.”
“Too perfect is always suspicious,” I commented.
“We were just blind to see it,” Liam said in a regretful tone. “If I had even the slightest doubt….” he sighed. “But back then it was like hell collapsed on our pack in just one night for anyone to even pay attention to a girl who was framed perfectly for a crime.”
“We will get those old hags sooner or later,” I said. “They will have a lot of begging to do to Eira.”
“They better, or you can just hand them over to me. I will perform a postmortem on them while they are still breathing and find out what’s wrong with those rotten bastards.”
Liam was truly pissed. He truly cared for Eira.
Even in the past, he was fond of Eira and loved to explain her things related to the medical field. I enjoyed seeing her around as I was a resident under Liam. I got to see her around often and sometimes I even explained things to her. Those were beautiful days and the moments I spent with her.
We reached home. Liam controlled himself and went to Eira who was enjoying another round of eating snacks after she had finished lunch just an hour ago. It was normal for a she-wolf to eat this much as werewolf babies grew faster than human babies.
Until she finished her snacks, Liam talked to Raven.
“You are becoming healthier, Raven,” Liam said, “Seems like you are eating well.”
Now he said it, I noticed Raven had indeed turned a little chubby. Even my brothers observed him and hummed in delight.
“He accompanies his always hungry mother whenever she eats something,” Rafe commented. “Soon we will see two round balls rolling inside this home.”
Eira came to sit on the sofa. “Don’t call my son a ball,” Eira said to Rafe and held Raven closer, “He is cute.”
“When did I say No. Even you are cute in my eyes,” Rafe commented, and sighed, “My eyesight must be decline to find you cute.”
“Then go check it, you nocturnal bird,” she countered.
Liam let out a cough to interrupted them. While offered a glance to Rafe to stop him.
Liam patted Raven’s head. “Well, that’s good. Growing werewolf kids need to eat more. So don’t hold back.”
Raven simply looked at him.
“Raven, go play with Fluffy,” Kael told him, “He is waiting for you.”
Raven looked at Fluffy who was waiting for him at the exist to the side garden. Raven nodded and left. We didn’t want him to be here when Liam was going to check Eira as Raven was a child to hear adult things which he shouldn’t.
“Congratulations,” Liam said to Eira.
“Thank you,” she replied and heard Liam, “Your test reports are all good. Rest we will have to see the baby’s growth through some tests.”
She hummed. Now she wasn’t unwilling to let Liam check on her, unlike before.
“You have to arrange everything she needs here in this home,” Kael instructed, “We will have one room turned into a hospital room where all the tests could be done and even the delivery is carried there. She is not going to the hospital.”
Liam let out a sigh, but he understood the reason. It was good to keep her and the baby at home, where they would always be safe. “Sure.”
“Jason and I will do it under his instructions,” Lucian assured.
“The outermost room which has entry from outside as well, that will do,” I suggested, “So the staff with Liam doesn’t need to enter that room from inside the home. And after the delivery, we will move Eira and the baby into a room prepared for them.”
All agreed to it.
“Alright. If you guys are done, let me talk to my patient and give her some instructions,” Liam said.
We resumed our work, but our ears were at what Liam was going to tell her. We will follow those instructions as well and take care of her well during this important time.
“You must have understood by now that all those sudden changes in you were due to pregnancy,” he began.
Eira hummed.
“You can eat all you want, you can rest whenever you feel tired, and do everything that you feel like to, even if it’s something silly. The more you are happy, the baby will grow healthier. You can feel free to let your mood swings take over you.”
He leaned in to whisper to her as if we wouldn’t be able to hear him. “And you can trouble these five bastards as much as you can and take your anger out on them. You will feel better.”
She looked at him in a little surprise.
He offered her a smile and whispered again, “They can’t do a shit. You are the one in power now. Those bastards can’t grow baby inside them, the only thing they can’t do.”
Did he really think we didn’t hear him? Bastard old hag. But yeah, she was free to do whatever she wanted with us.
She glanced briefly at us all and nodded lightly to him.
So she was agreeing to get back at us. Well, we don’t mind. Especially me. I can’t wait for her to show all her anger to me.
He stopped whispering and said, “Females usually don’t get into heat during pregnancy, but there are chances you might feel phantom heat.”
“Phantom heat?” she mumbled in confusion.
