Sold To The Alphas I Hate-Chapter 297: Greedy And Lustful

Jason’s POV

I watched Lucian being flirty with Eira, glad that she didn’t mind it. I could see she had started accepting everyone as a part of her life now, but I had a long way to go.

It would be wrong to say I wasn’t jealous. Yes I was.

But all I could do was be patient, and take care of her to make up for my mistakes.

We all had dinner together. It was time for Eira’s medicines. Before they planned to go out for a walk, I brought the medicine box that I had prepared for her.

"Take a seat," I signalled towards the sofa. "It’s time for your first shot."

She looked at the opened box in my hands and quietly sat on the sofa.

"Let’s head outside first. These two will come in a while," Rafe said as he picked Raven up in his hands. "Little bud and I have a plan today."

He walked ahead while the rest followed him, leaving the two of us alone.

I knew it was about her baby, or she wouldn’t be this obedient to me.

I settled next to her. First, I gave her a tablet and water.

Once she had taken it, I pulled out the syringe and vial. "After today, we will have to take another shot the day after tomorrow."

It was like I was talking to a wall, as she didn’t even acknowledge my presence.

"Lie down to one side. You need to take it on the lower waist," I told her as I stood up to make space for her.

She lay down, facing her back to me. I knew it was intentional.

"I need to move your clothes," I said before moving her top up and her pants a little down. I was being careful and treating her like any other patient who has to be informed even before being touched.

She lay quiet.

"It will hurt a little," I said.

"Can you get it done already," she finally said, her voice impatient. "Nothing hurts me, so just get it done."

I let out an inward sigh and finished my job.

As impatient as she was, she quickly turned to get up, but I held her in place by her shoulder. "Don’t move so quickly."

From her expression, I could already see her quick movement hurt where I had injected her. It was a heavy dose.

She lay quiet, and I said, "Just a minute and you can move."

Leaving her to rest, I started packing the box. "You are pregnant, so be careful with your movements."

"I had been moved quite a lot during my first pregnancy. Nothing happened."

From her words, I could sense the bitterness she was throwing at me. I knew exactly what she meant, but I had nothing to counter that hurt and bitterness. Only if I could stop what happened with her.

"Still, being careful doesn’t hurt anyone," I said carrying a poise of a doctor as I looked at her. "And not every pregnancy is the same. Depending on the baby’s gender, it can change. If it’s a girl, you have to be careful."

She stared at me for a moment but said nothing. Her silence showed she agreed with me, at least on this.

"After two weeks, we can find the gender of the baby through ultrasound, if you want to," I informed her.

Her eyes brightened up a little at the thought of it, but she refused to say anything.

"If you want, we can keep it a surprise till the end," I suggested.

She seemed to give it some thought and offered a light hum.

Finally, she responded in a calm way.

"It should be fine. You can get up," I said and helped her sit. "Make sure to turn to the side and sit, so it won’t stress your belly."

She nodded again, and we went out after I helped her wear a warm coat. I wasn’t sure how long this silence between us was going to stretch. Her silence hurt more than her words would have.

Rafe and Raven were playing outside with Fluffy. Even when it was cold, they couldn’t stay quiet.

She went to them, while I went to my brother.

"Did she finally talk?" Lucian asked.

"Not really," I replied, my gaze following her as she argued with Rafe over something.

Roman put his hand on my shoulder to comfort me.

Kael’s POV

While Eira was busy with Rafe and Raven, we discussed other matters. I especially got some company updates from Roman, while Lucian informed me about Asher.

"The bastard had a meeting with Jeffery and one other council member," Lucian informed.

"Already bribing them?" Roman frowned. "How about we get rid of them and have new council members?"

"We can’t just kill them. If we do, we have to do it legally by finding proof against them and punish them as per law," Kael said. "But don’t worry about them for now. They are not an issue."

After a while of talking, I went to Raven as it was his time to sleep and his eyes were already heavy.

"Let’s go to sleep," I said.

He quickly got into my arms and already rested his head on my shoulder. This time I didn’t ask Eira if she wanted to come with us. I didn’t want my brothers to feel like I was stealing her every night and wouldn’t allow them to spend time with her.

Moreover, I felt like she should decide on her own.

"Don’t stay out for long. You will catch a cold," I told her and turned to leave.

"I am sleepy as well," she said.

It came as a surprise to me, as I felt she might like to stay with Roman, who was out the entire day.

She looked at Roman before following me. "Good night."

He offered her a smile. "Sleep well."

By the time we reached the room, Raven was already asleep. I put him on the bed.

Eira got into the bed, and this time she shifted a little towards Raven, leaving space by her side.

She wanted me to sleep by her side. I was going to anyway, but her willingness mattered to me more.

I planned to go to my brothers after putting her to sleep, but I decided otherwise.

I lay next to her and, as usual, pulled her into my arms. Being her mate gave me this much liberty to show my rights over her.

She settled comfortably and snuggled against me. But I knew she wasn’t sleepy yet.

"You have something to say?" I asked, my fingers gently running through her soft hair.

As if I got her right, she looked at me.

"You can say it."

"Jason said we can find out whether it’s a boy or a girl," she replied.

"Do you want to know?" I asked.

"You?" she asked me.

"I am fine with whatever you decide." I was glad she was seeking my opinion.

"I will give it a thought," she said.

"We will do as you say," I assured her.

She hummed and continued to look at me. I leaned my face closer, my nose gently brushing hers. "Anything else... something you want?"

She lowered her gaze and moved her face back a little.

I wasn’t sure why she was staring at me, but I felt the urge to be closer to her.

I waited, and she finally looked at me. "I was wondering if Ray looks like you, and if this baby is a boy, maybe he will look like you as well." Her voice was a little low and hesitant.

"He looks like me, but there is a shadow of you in him as well," I said. "Anyone would tell he is our son."

She let out a shaky breath. "I look forward to meeting him soon."

"You just need to say you are ready, and he will be in front of you," I suggested.

She hummed again and stayed quiet, maybe wondering if she was still fit enough, and Raven was yet to get close to her in the way she needed.

I caressed her cheek gently. "You are doing good already. It won’t take long."

My words seemed to have soothed her questioning mind, as she looked at me with a hopeful gaze.

In an assuring silence, we stared at each other for a few moments before I slowly closed the distance between our lips. I couldn’t help it and kissed her.

It started gentle and soft, but soon my heart turned greedy.

"Will you be alright if I..." I whispered between that soft kiss.

She hummed even before I said more, eager for it as well.

As we kissed passionately, I moved her onto her back and hovered over her, making sure not to put my weight on her.

One of my hands supported my body, while the other angled her face to my comfort as I deepened the kiss and claimed that sweet tongue of hers, biting and nibbling her lips without any care.

Both of our breathing turned ragged.

I could feel her body wanting more from me. Not a phantom heat yet, but pregnancy sure had turned her body greedy and lustful.

I didn’t want to suffocate her, so I allowed her to breathe, my gaze never leaving her flushed face as she tried to catch her breath.

Our gazes met. Her eyes filled with lust just like mine.

I didn’t know what to do with her. She couldn’t stop driving me crazy.

"Want to continue?" I asked in a low and hoarse voice.

She opened her mouth to say something, but then looked at Raven on the bed.

I understood her concern.

I moved away from her. There was a tinge of disappointment in her eyes. I couldn’t help but smile a little and offered her my hand.

She looked at me questioningly. I gestured for her to come with me.

She put her hand into mine and got out of the bed after making sure Raven was still asleep.

"He won’t wake up," I assured her and guided her towards the bathroom.
