Sold To The Alphas I Hate-Chapter 326: Eira’s Anger

Kael’s POV

I looked at Rafe and Lucian, who had followed Eira into the council hall.

Rafe shrugged and showed me the earpiece he had removed from his ear.

I said nothing and returned my attention to my mate. Meanwhile, those two moved to Jason’s side, where he was sitting with Raven in his arms.

Jason made sure Raven wouldn’t see or hear any of this.

"Eira... I said this bastard would be punished for what he did to you," the old woman said. "I didn’t see you dead, but I believed what those bastards told me when they sold me your child. Trust me, I begged them to let me see you one last time, but they said they had already buried you somewhere among many other dead bodies from their place. I had no option but to accept that truth. I was at least relieved that I could protect your child."

There was no limit to the shamelessness of these people.

"Really?" Eira gritted her teeth. "Then tell me, when did you get to know I was there with them and expecting a child?"

The woman looked puzzled for a moment before replying, "I think a month or two before you gave birth."

"So you knew I was there, but you didn’t try to save me from them. You waited for me to give birth just to take my child?" Eira asked coldly.

Once more, the woman was left speechless.

The old man stepped forward. "Eira, we demanded they hand you over to us, but they refused. They said if we insisted, they would kill you and the child as well. They said they had to recover the hefty amount they paid to buy you."

"And you relented?" Eira asked.

"We had no other choice..."

"Stop lying," Eira’s voice echoed loudly in the hall. She was furious.

"Didn’t you have this wealthy Alpha who found me for you?" She turned to Asher. "This bastard who stole my child. Isn’t he powerful enough to pay for me? Or force those sick traffickers to hand me over to you?"

Her gaze locked onto Asher as she asked again,

"Are you that useless that you couldn’t help an old couple get their only granddaughter? Did you lack money?"

I couldn’t help but feel proud of my mate.

If Isla were here, she would say there was no issue with Eira’s mental state anymore. In fact, she was smart and fierce.

"Things happened that way," Asher said, "You should be glad that we at least saved your child or it would have been sold to some organisations that use pureblood in the worst way possible that you can’t even imagine."

Eira clenched her fists. "As if you did nothing of that sort with my son?"

"I have only raised him perfectly to be my heir," he countered unaffected, "You can ask him right in front of everyone."

I felt like Eira was going to march at him any moment. Her anger was something else.

I held her hand finally and turned to Asher, "You know he doesn’t talk."

"Doesn’t talk?" Asher acted surprised, "What did you do with him that he doesn’t talk. As long as he was with me, he could," and looked at Raven, "I want to see what you did with my son."

"Don’t even dare look at him," Eira warned him. "You did something to him that he stopped talking to. And don’t call him your son."

In response, Asher went to the council staff, handed him over a device. Soon the screen showed a video of Raven when he was a baby until when he was two years old. When he was a baby Raven was laughing, crying and when he was older, he even said a few words growing up.

For the first time we heard his voice. Eira’s grip in my hand tightened, it showed her emotions to see her child, the time she had missed.

"He could talk?" she mumbled.

I hummed and caressed her hand. "He will talk again."

Asher turned to us, "Now tell me what you did with my son. Or you have threatened him to not talk before coming to this council."

"Shut up, you bastard," Eira spat angrily. "You performed experiments on my pureblood child. That’s why he is like that."

Asher smirked, "I showed a lot of proof here that he was raised well and safe in my care. You should stop making accusations about me, instead of confronting your rapist for what he did with you," he looked at our joined hands, "and not hold his hand like you have forgotten how he ruined your life."

He looked at me, "The matter of raping a minor still remains to discuss in this council. I believe you are ready to accept that punishment, Kael."

The old woman quickly turned to Eira, "Why are you holding his hand? He raped you."

"That reminds me, when did I ever tell you that I was raped?" Eira asked, "Just like you never buried me with your own hands. Another lie? I heard lying here can be a punishable offence."

The baffled woman said quickly, "You forgot maybe after so many years. You were hurt and barely conscious after returning that night. In your unconscious state you would tell me about it."

"And you didn’t file a complaint about it?" Eira asked.

"What could we do against the powerful Alpha’s son? They would have killed us all to save his son," the woman said. "All I could think about was moving out of this pack with you as soon as possible. I..."

"And why did you lie to me that I was a lowly hybrid and not a pureblood?" Eira demanded.

"It was for your own good. If others knew about the presence of a pureblood, you would have been taken away by other Alphas. We wanted to protect you by hiding it," the old man came to his wife’s rescue.

Eira let out an annoyed, helpless sigh. She clung to my hand, as if already exhausted. She was pregnant, and because of her thick winter clothes, others couldn’t see it.

I pulled her closer to support her and heard her mumble, "They have an answer for every question."

She looked up at me. "If I lose my son today, I will never forgive you."

"We won’t lose him. Trust me," I assured her.

Lucian came to stand on her other side and warned the woman, "Stay away from her. Your presence is disgusting."

The woman stepped back but still said, "Eira, you should come to this side. These bastards have ruined your life and taken you away from us. Please come to Grandma. We will leave from here together, with you and your son."

"Shut your mouth," I growled at her.

The bitch was trying to take my mate away.

"Say one more word," Lucian warned her coldly, "and I will snap your neck right here."

"Alright!" Jeffery intervened as he knew Lucian’s temper really well. He didn’t give a fuck about anything when someone got on his nerves.

Jeffery looked at Asher and said as if getting a cue from him, "Alpha Kael, we can’t ignore the fact that you have raped a minor. So you will be punished as per the rules...."

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Roman stood by my side, "Why don’t you first ask how it happened and who made it happen?"

"It won’t change the fact that he raped a minor," Jeffery countered.

"Ah! So your loyalty lies with other party that you won’t even let us prove what exactly happened," Roman turned to others, "Don’t you all want to know why a powerful alpha raped a minor girl. I am sure you all are curious. We should know the story before we punish someone."

"We should give a chance to explain their side," Alpha Gerald said as he looked at Jeffery and few others with him said the same.

"You can explain," Jeffery finally relented.

"For that, we have a perpetrator as well as a witness of that incident," Roman said and looked toward our guard.

Soon, a woman in a wheelchair was brought inside the council hall.

Sophia.

The old couple’s expressions changed instantly as they clearly recognised her.

Asher remained silent as well.

While someone was there who was delighted to see Sophia, delighted in wicked way. Kaizan.

"Shocked to see her alive?" Lucian asked the couple and Asher. "Well, the bitch is alive to pay for her sin."

Sophia recognised the old hags too, but she showed no reaction toward Asher.

With Sophia’s arrival, everything was laid bare before the council. She revealed how she had planned with Kaizan to kill Eira out of jealousy and become the Luna of the pack. She told them everything Kaizan had shown her and allowed her to know.

With her testimony, Alice’s murder and Eira’s innocence were proven as well. The right proofs were presented, and nothing was left to doubt.

Eira was innocent. And no one could raise questions against her for being my mate.

Sophia was taken away.

"What I did with Eira remains for her to punish me for, not anyone else," I declared, then looked at Asher. "And what others did to us remains for me to punish them for, in my way, on my terms."

He caught the warning in my gaze and the intent in my words.
