Sold To The Alphas I Hate-Chapter 307: It’s Fine To Have Multiple Mates

Eira’s POV

"I don’t see you hurt anywhere. Must be some tiny scratches," I countered, offering him a glare.

"Ouch! How insensitive of you to say that," he pulled a dramatic hurt expression. "Do you know how much it hurts when a silver bullet laced with a dangerous drug causes even a tiny scratch on your skin? You feel a dying pain."

His words reminded me of the wounds on Roman’s body that were life-threatening... and then... Jason. He must be in pain as well.

"I am hurting, you know," he said, pulling me out of my thoughts.

I let out a tired sigh and gave him permission. "Do as you wish."

He let out a chuckle. "Not like this, Caldwell. You should be sincere, just like how desirably sincere you were with Roman and Lucian. I felt like you didn’t want to stop kissing them."

"They took the initiative and I followed," I countered. "Now do it, or let me go."

Looking into my eyes with that wicked smirk on his lips, he leaned his face closer, his lips just a brush away from mine. I closed my eyes, already giving up on it, but...

Instead of my lips, I felt a pair of warm lips over my cheek.

I was confused and heard him, his lips still lingering on my cheek.

"Your lips are already sore. If I kissed them, you might bleed for real, and I will end up tasting your blood." He moved his face back to meet my still confused gaze.

His red eyes flashed with some darkness, his expression predatory, his voice dangerously low. "And if I taste your blood now...."

I waited for him to finish. The way he looked at me, the intensity inside him, made me focus only on him.

"It will soil the taste of my mouth," he said, and once more that wicked smirk graced his lips. Gone was his seriousness. "Because your blood tastes shitty."

I gritted my teeth and pushed him away with all I had. "Get lost, you bloodsucker."

Surprisingly, he moved back.

"One day I am going to get a bottle full of my blood and force it down your throat so your mouth will remain shitty for eternity," I snapped and walked away.

"That’s not the way to Isla’s office," he said, unaffected by my anger. "It’s this way."

I stopped and turned around, only to see him smiling at me as if he had his fill of annoying me.

I walked past him to go to Isla’s office, but he held my hand. "Do you even know the way?"

I knew her office, but from here I sure didn’t know the way.

Even before I responded, he walked ahead holding my hand.

I tried to pull my hand from his hold, but he held it tighter and said, "We don’t want a little girl lost inside this huge hospital."

He brought me to Isla’s office. "Let Isla inform me once you are done."

I nodded and entered the office where Isla was waiting for me.

"I thought you wouldn’t make it here today," I heard Isla say in a playful tone, "But seems like your mates are generous enough to let you off."

"I thought you wouldn’t make it here today," I heard Isla say in a playful tone. "But it seems like your mates are generous enough to let you off."

I let out an inward sigh. Of course she would understand the way Lucian acted in that moment.

"Have a seat," she said. She looked chill, as she wasn’t a doctor today, but someone who was there just to talk.

I sat in the chair opposite her.

"From what I see, it seems like things are going just fine for you," Isla said in a delighted tone.

I couldn’t deny it. After the past six years, finally my life was different. No abuse, but peace was finally there.

"As I said before, let’s talk about something you want to talk about," Isla said. "Everything that’s in your mind these days."

I offered a light nod, but hesitated a little as I said, "Is it normal to like more than one person... at the same time... I..."

I didn’t know how to put it in words. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

These days I was not just attracted to Kael, but Roman and now Lucian as well. I could accept it as Kael was my mate, and it was given, but why my heart wouldn’t stop beating for Roman as well. When Rafe is close to me, I couldn’t say no to him as well. I was sure, if Jason tried, I would met for him as well.

I couldn’t help but wonder if the abuse of so many years twisted my mind? Or it was just pregnancy hormones causing it.

She offered me an assuring smile with a light nod. "It’s absolutely normal, at least in our world, the world of werewolves. We can’t judge and decide by human standards."

I kept forgetting that we were werewolves, and that what I used to think in the past, my life wasn’t going exactly that way.

Isla said, "When you were young, just like any other shewolf, you must have thought about finding your mate, loving him, having a family with him, and spending your entire life with that same man."

I nodded.

"But do you dislike the current situation?" she asked.

I shook my head.

"Good," she continued. "There is no such rule that one should love only one person. If there is such a rule, it is made by a particular person or few people for themselves and then others followed it by labelling it as an absolute morality.

"But if you ask me, what matters is whether you and your partners are accepting towards it and all of you are happy together. A happy family should be the goal."

I thought about what she said, and her words didn’t feel wrong to me. Yes, I could say my current life with them was a happy one.

"In the old times, werewolves were mostly monogamous and had their fated mate, but things changed over time when the ratio between the male and female population started to change drastically. So, as nature needs to keep working, things started to change according to that.

"It’s not like there were no polygamous relations in ancient times. There were, but it started with the brothers born at the same time from the same womb. I mean the twins or triplets and so on. It’s like their fates were connected, so did the bond with the same female.

"And trust me, that female used to be fortunate to be protected by multiple partners. No one else dared lay an eye on her. Just like you are now. The stronger the shewolf is, the more protection she needs."

I surely agreed with it.

I needed protection, at least for the sake of my kids. I had long stopped caring about myself.

"In the past, do you know how those rare shewolves like you died?" she asked.

I knew nothing about it, so I shook my head. The first time I heard about being a rare shewolf was from that witch who came to meet me in the prison.

"They died because they didn’t have strong partners to protect them and their kids. There are evil people outside who wouldn’t hesitate to take advantage of the rare things in nature for their own gains. The world is full of monsters. Maybe this time, nature doesn’t want her creation to end like that, so it made sure to offer you those five, though the way to it was a grave suffering for you. But then, it must have a reason as well.

"As a doctor and being a practical and rational person, I shouldn’t say these things. But given how our world mostly works on one’s destiny already being written for a reason, I can’t help but say it."

I hummed. "I look forward to seeing what’s written for me. As long as my kids are safe, I will be fine."

The way things were being revealed these days, I was sure there was something that I am yet to meet, whether a fortune or a disaster.

We talked for a while, where Isla’s words assured me nothing was wrong with me for liking more than one partner. That it’s fine to have multiple mates.

I got to know her first mate died in the battle, so her current one was her second chance mate. That she was happy with him as well and now had a happy family.

It was such a relief to talk with her.
