Sold To The Alphas I Hate-Chapter 351: Want To Live In This Home?

Eira’s POV

Though I was disappointed about not finding the box, I chose to let it go and move forward. I still had to meet Alice.

Just as we stepped out of the house, Kael spoke softly. "This home belongs to you now. Do you want me to renovate it? Make some changes?"

I shook my head. "Leave it as it is. Let it fade with time."

I did not want to cling to the past, nor did I want to erase it completely. Every part of it had shaped who I was. One day, it would disappear just like me when my last breath came.

We left soon after and drove toward the cemetery to visit Alice and Jennifer. Raven placed flowers on their graves along with us.

"Alice, this is my son, Raven," I said softly, a faint smile touching my lips. "You are an aunt now..." I spoke to her quietly for a while, sharing little things as though she could still hear me. When I finished and wiped my tears, Rafe came to stand beside me.

I looked at him.

He brushed away the remaining moisture from my cheek, his gaze gentle for once, but the softness did not last long.

"You should tell her what we talked about the other day," he said casually.

"What?" I asked, confused.

"About Lucian kissing a guy," he added, and just like that, the comforting man vanished, replaced by the usual asshole.

"You..." I swallowed my anger as a hand suddenly grabbed the back of Rafe’s shirt and dragged him away.

Lucian.

His expression was dark with irritation.

"Luke..." Rafe started.

"Shut your mouth while I am still being nice," Lucian warned, dragging him toward the car. He shoved him inside, gave him a sharp punch, and slammed the door. "Stay there," he ordered before returning to us.

Lucian and Jason then placed flowers on their mother’s grave. Both stood silently, heads lowered, eyes closed, as though speaking to her through their thoughts.

I wondered what they might be telling her.

They loved and respected their mother deeply, always trying to be the perfect sons for her. Her death must have shattered them, and somewhere in my heart, I carried the unbearable weight of knowing that, unintentionally, I had been part of the reason behind it.

Back when I used to imagine a future with him, I often pictured Jennifer as my own mother too. She had been kind, warm, and gentle. They were lucky to have her. A part of me envied that bond, because I had never known what it felt like to have a mother of my own.

Soon after, we left for the estate where Kael’s parents once lived, the same place where they had been murdered and later buried. This time Raven would meet his grandparents properly. The last time we visited, no one knew the truth.

Kael guided Raven toward their graves and spoke to him quietly. "They are my parents, which means they are your grandparents. They loved me the way I love you. We stand here today because they once existed. So you must come here and show them respect, even if one day I am no longer with you."

Raven gave a quiet nod. He placed the flowers gently on both graves, lowered his head, and closed his eyes in silent prayer. He seemed to understand exactly what he needed to do.

My son was truly adorable. One day he would be just like his father. Responsible, caring toward everyone, yet calm and silent.

The rest of us paid our respects as well.

"Do you want to see the house?" Kael asked Raven softly. "The place where I was born and raised?"

Raven nodded, and to be honest, I was curious too. Last time we were here, we left just after offering respect to his parents on their death anniversary.

In the past I never had the chance to come here. Back then I was just nobody, an insignificant member of the pack whose existence barely mattered.

Alice had once visited this place with her mother and described how grand and beautiful it was. I used to dream about seeing the Alpha’s residence someday. Little did I know that in the future, I would become part of the Alpha’s family itself.

The house stood like a miniature castle, completely different from Kael’s modern home. The grand entrance opened into a majestic foyer, followed by an elegant drawing room and a sweeping staircase that curved upward to the upper floors.

It was mesmerizing. Regal. Luxurious beyond words.

Kael turned toward me. "Would you like to live here instead of our current house? This place belongs to the Alpha’s family. We should all be living here." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

I looked at him quietly. His expression remained calm as always. The others watched me too, waiting for my answer as if they were ready to follow whatever I decided.

"I’m fine with our current home," I said gently. "We can visit here sometimes when we want."

No one openly showed it, but I felt a quiet wave of relief move through them, as if they had hoped for exactly that answer.

The reason I refused was simple. If Kael or the others truly wanted to live here, they would not have avoided it for six long years. Even though it was Kael’s home, it held painful memories for him. No one wanted to live surrounded by ghosts of the past. No one understood that better than I did.

Kael gave me a small smile, a silent acknowledgment of the understanding between us.

We spent the rest of the day outside. We had lunch at a restaurant, then went shopping since I needed maternity clothes. And we even bought the things needed for the newborn baby.

I couldn’t do it back then, but I was living this pregnancy with everything I could.

Also, his time, I was careful to select Raven’s clothes, but little guy for a change went to the cute clothes section on his own. I helped him select a few. From his expressions I could tell he liked them.

By the time the sun had set and we returned home, I was surprised at how easily the entire day had passed.

It was fun. Perhaps the best birthday I had ever experienced.
