Chapter 704 Winged Demon
As Kaizan gritted his teeth at his friend\'s cunning attitude, he said to his new brothers-in-law, "Freshen up quickly. Mother and father would be coming here any time soon. They are visiting Uncle Liam and Aunt Fleur."
"Oh, how is Darla doing?" Paige asked eagerly as she picked up a piece of goat cheese from the plate Olivia had placed on the center table. "Has she delivered?"
Kaizan\'s lips curled up. "Not yet. Both Olivia and Darla should be having the baby a month apart from each other."
"That\'s right," Ileus added as if he was an authority on it. "They both conceived during full moon night."
Paige, who was eating cheese, stopped chewing it and gaped at Ileus. "Conceived during a full moon?" She repeated his words.
Ileus gulped his wine and gave her a patronizing smile. "Yep! Both my sons conceived during full moon nights."
Flustered as hell, Paige looked left and then to the right at her mates. "Do you think—" she blanched and couldn\'t complete her sentence.
Seeing how troubled she was, Tyler shook his head vehemently as Connor said, "Don\'t worry. This is not necessary!"
"You mean there are chances?" Paige looked like someone had taken out every bit of energy from her body.
Connor\'s brows furrowed. He grabbed Paige by her waist and made her sit in his lap. "Don\'t you worry, baby," he replied tenderly. "Nothing will happen unless you want it." He stroked her back from top to bottom. Tyler took her hands in his and stroked them.
More than Kaizan, it was Ileus who was interested in them. His eyes widened as he saw Paige with her two mates. He contemplated if they would take her to the bedroom. It would be interesting to see how this would play out. The louche added fuel to the fire only to see crackers burning. "No, this is a high probability. You may feel sad but then it is best that it is sorted out in private with your mates."
Paige stared at her mates with her owl eyes with trepidation and they melted. Connor lifted her in his arms and walked to their room with Tyler behind them. "Don\'t worry, Paige. You don\'t get pregnant in just one session," he said. Paige had buried her head in Connor\'s neck.
"Dear gods!" Ileus breathed out. "I will be having my dinner at your place, Kaizan," he announced as he watched them going.
Kaizan was bubbling with anger. "You had to do that, right?"
Ileus looked at him with a poker face. "What did I do? I just gave them the truth. Why are you getting so worked up? It\'s not that you will be bearing their child?"
Kaizan picked up a cushion and threw it at Ileus. Ileus ducked and the cushion landed right over Anastasia.
Ileus jerked his head back. "Nothing, Ana. Kaizan is usually grumpy these days. You just don\'t have to 22:35
worry." He sauntered to his wife, held her by her waist and planted a kiss on her lips. "Did you miss "What is going on?" she asked, catching it and throwing it back on Ileus.
Ileus jerked his head back. "Nothing, Ana. Kaizan is usually grumpy these days. You just don\'t have to worry." He sauntered to his wife, held her by her waist and planted a kiss on her lips. "Did you miss me, honey?" he said, gazing at her with his golden eyes.
Anastasia sighed. When her husband looked down at her with his twin golden flames, her soul stirred every time. "I love you," she said and kissed his chin. "But I didn\'t come here because I missed you."
An eyebrow raised, Ileus said, "Then why are you here? Don\'t tell me you missed Kaizan because then I would have to murder my competition."
"What?" Olivia\'s shrill voice reached his ears and Ileus knew he was in for a lot of trouble and then some more. "What did you say? You will murder my husband?" She was so high on emotions these days that Ileus couldn\'t even reason with her. Olivia went to her husband and hugged him hard.
Anastasia left Ileus and walked to Olivia. "Don\'t mind him…" she tried to say but the damage was done. Olivia was sniffling.
Kaizan stroked her back. "Don\'t cry baby. This is Ileus for us. Don\'t you know him." He glared at the prince and an idea came. This was the time to pay him back. So, he said, "This is how I live—in so much fear. But my darling, I will endure it for you, for our baby."
Anastasia knew what was going on. Instead of going against them, she joined them. She went to Olivia and hugged her from behind. "I am so sorry Olivia," she said. "Ileus is out of line. He doesn\'t know what to talk about."
Ileus stared at his enemies. How did a light, humorous conversation turn into something so vicious? He placed one hand on his waist and scratched his scalp with the other. All at once, they heard a roar from a bedroom on the ground floor. And Ileus grinned.
"What was that?" Anastasia asked. "Don\'t tell me, Uncle Liam—"
"Hell, no!" Kaizan cut her off. "That is Paige with her mates."
"Oh, they have returned now?"
Kaizan continued to caress his wife. "Yes, and your husband has experimented with their emotions. So, right now they are in their bedroom, taking care of each other." As he said that, his face flushed like a red tomato. He realized that if this continued, it would soon become very awkward.
Anastasia spun to Ileus and found traces of smoke in his place. "Where has he gone?" she asked, bewildered.
Kaizan pursed his lips thin. How could he tell Anastasia as to where he had gone? He said, "I don\'t know…" Then he guided Olivia to the dining hall murmuring that she needed to eat more and think less. The revenge that he sought for Ileus was short-lived. Soon, another bellow boomed across the mansion. Kaizan wanted the earth to crack up and maybe disappear in it. That moment he decided that if Paige were to live with him, he was going to build another house for her and her mates at the farthest point of the estate. And they could bellow all they wanted.
Olivia and Anastasia got busy with the servants to lay out the food when shadows and smoke burst and Ileus emerged, feeling and looking all excited. He had to share what he saw and he didn\'t know with whom. "Kaizan!" he shouted.
"You fucking leave my house!" Kaizan shouted back. Before he could say anything else, a guard appeared.
"There\'s a breach in the southern border of Silver Vales," he said. "Winged demons were seen."
Ileus whipped his head towards the guard.
The guard continued, "There was a horde flying this side. Not a single one could be hunted because they attacked the villagers on that side and left immediately."
Kaizan came to stand with Ileus. "I thought we pushed them back to their dunes," he said in a cold voice.
Ileus\'s jaw clenched. When Paige was in the northern forest, he had actually killed a winged demon over there. He had gone there after Paige because she was all alone with her mates. He didn\'t say it to Kaizan but protecting his sister was important. His spies had informed him that they had seen a winged demon. The fact that that demon had flown all the way north without being noticed was puzzling.
