Sold To The Alphas I Hate-Chapter 310: It Wasn’t Your Fault

Eira’s POV

The next morning, we had to prepare to leave the hospital. Except for the two patients and a vampire, the other two were busy with the discharge process.

Jason was annoyed that Kael had told him not to get out of bed until we were leaving for home. Roman was fine with it, but Jason looked like someone had chained his feet and tied him to the bed. He didn’t want to keep resting.

I tried to stay busy with Raven to avoid the embarrassment of what I did with Lucian while these two were right here.

But how long could I avoid it? It was time for me to give medicines to Roman.

I quietly went to the bed and offered the medicine to Roman. He looked at me normally. There was nothing unusual.

Maybe I was the one overthinking it.

"Thank you," he said as he accepted the tablets from me.

Just then, Jason opened his eyes and looked at the table next to his bed. Already annoyed with the forced rest, he frowned at not finding what he wanted and moved to sit up.

I looked at Rafe, who was busy playing a game on his mobile. "Can you look around the room for a moment?"

"I have better things to do than look after you," he said. "Now don’t disturb me."

Jason had already sat up in bed.

"Stay there," I told him, so he wouldn’t disobey Kael’s order.

He looked at me.

Wordlessly, I poured water into a glass on Roman’s table as I understood he was looking for water and the glass on his side was empty.

As I carried the glass of water to him, the other two had returned to the room as well and looked at me.

Ignoring them, I looked at the medicines on the table, "which one of it?"

"The white box," he answered. "Two."

I got two tablets and handed him over along with the glass of water.

Jason accepted it. "Thank you."

Despite sensing others’ gazes on me, I asked him, "Anything else you need?"

Jason shook his head, while I returned to sit by Roman’s side. He offered me a smile, as if appreciating my help for Jason.

"Do you need anything?" I asked, ignoring his praising gesture.

I was just helping a hurt person who was now a part of my family. Nothing else. Why did they have to look at me like I had done something unusual?

-----

Finally, we returned home.

I hate to admit it, but I truly missed this place. As if this was where I belonged and no other place felt as comfortable as this one. Home for me and my kids.

Once we entered the house, Kael instructed the two patients, "Today, except for moving between your rooms and the drawing hall, you two are not stepping anywhere at all."

In short, they were strictly on rest.

Jason let out a sigh as he settled on the sofa with a frown. "Not the wound, but being idle and bored will surely kill me."

Kael ignored him while Roman sat next to him. "Just enjoy being taken care of. It’s not so often that we get to enjoy it."

"Please, keep me out of it," Rafe said. "I am not a babysitter."

"Can’t expect anything better from you," Roman countered. "Fortunately, we have others in this house who are thoughtful."

"Others? Kael and Lucian are going to be busy, one with office work and another taking care of the bloodshed from last night," Rafe said. "Then who else is left?" He looked at me. "Oh! Are you thinking this idler Caldwell will take care of you? Then all the best for being delusional."

I glared at him. Was he saying I do nothing at all? He kept saying it.

"I take care of Raven, the baby inside me, and the pets," I countered.

"Yeah, and you also take care of the food that’s cooked in this house," Rafe countered. "How helpful!"

"You idler, I am better than you at least," I said angrily and looked away.

He offered me a bored look and looked at Jason. "Seems like without you cooking, I am going to starve."

"Yeah, as if no one else cooks in this house," Lucian’s voice came through as he brought the ordered groceries from the guard and headed to the kitchen as well.

"You only cook what this idler Caldwell loves to eat, so I can only rely on Jason," Rafe countered with a sigh.

"I’ll cook for you," Jason said, only to feel Kael’s glare at him and shut his mouth.

Kael headed to the kitchen.

"Woah! Our Alpha’s going to cook? Damn, after so long," Rafe said and looked at me. "At least take care of these two. That much you can do, right?"

"You don’t need to tell me what to do," I snapped. "Just go and suck some blood from the fridge."

He simply smirked at me and then looked at the tablet in his hand. "Jason, what a save. Jumped in front of Roman to save him like a brave hero."

He handed the tablet to me. "You can take a look as well, Caldwell. Don’t miss the hero here."

Roman frowned. "Not a hero, but an idiot," and looked at Jason. "Don’t ever do it again. It’s better if one dies rather than two."

Jason remained calm. "You don’t make such calculations when you save your people. And I know you are just as idiotic as me. You would have done the same."

I watched the clip and saw how Jason, in his wolf form, had pushed the hurt Roman away and got shot in his place. If not for Jason, Roman would have been in worse situation or....I didn’t want to even imagine it.

Though he was hurt and in pain, Jason made sure to tear away the ones who shot those bullets before finally falling to the ground. He didn’t look good as well.

For a moment, fear gripped my heart that both of them could have died for real just because I was so reckless to his mother that day.

Just then, the tablet was taken away from my hands.

"Don’t overthink, Caldwell. Give your tiny brain a little break," Rafe’s voice pulled me back to my senses. "I just wanted to see how we protect each other."

I looked at Rafe. He met my gaze as if he understood what I was thinking.

I averted my gaze quickly.

But I decided to at least take care of these two until they were alright, to make up for my own guilt.

The meal was served, and we all ate it together.

Kael ordered Roman and Jason to go back to their rooms and sleep, while Rafe accompanied Lucian to his job of security matters.

Kael resumed his office work while keeping Raven company and made sure Roman got his medicines.

Once I returned, Kael told me, "Go to Jason’s room to get your second shot."

I was taken aback. Why in his room? But then I had to take it for my baby’s sake.

I went to his room, and entered after I knocked on the door.

As if he was aware I was coming, he was going through the medicine box, already holding a syringe in his hand. "Sit there," he gestured towards the couch in the room.

I sat quietly. He took his place next to me and injected the medicine, his expressions calm and focussed.

The air in the room carried nothing but utter silence.

As I watched him, it reminded me the days from the past when he used to work with Liam. As a doctor, he was truly impressive and he taught me a lot of things.

"It’s done," he said and looked at me.

Our gazes met and I quickly looked away to get rid of the past memories.

Maybe understanding my hesitation, he stood up. But his brows creased a little and a light throaty groan left his mouth. He wasn’t allowed to move much, and here he was doing it recklessly.

I stood up as well, took the used syringe from him and said, "I’ll do it. You rest."

He went to sit on the bed, while I discarded the syringe and asked, "You got your medicines?"

"I will in a while," he answered.

I knew his medicines now. So, I got them for him.

As I offered them to him, he said, "You don’t have to force yourself to do it. It wasn’t your fault."

So he knew I was feeling guilty for causing it. And the last thing I wanted to do was to take care of him.

"I am not forcing myself," I explained. "Others are busy... so..."

He silently had the medicines, while I said, "Let me know if you need anything. Rest well."

He hummed, and said, "You need to rest after this shot."

I hummed and I left, unsure of how I was even feeling at the moment.

There was still that distance between us, a knot in my heart, that it felt impossible to be more than this with him.
