Everly POV

I came home to Valerian sitting at the dining room table trying to use my laptop; my mood was better now I had gone for a run, but I was exhausted as I untied my laces and slipped my shoes off. The run really zapped my energy, and I had to take the long way around because someone had fixed the hole in the fence; tomorrow, I would have to send someone to open it up again or maybe install a gate, which would be ideal because we can lock it off a night. Zoe was watching TV with the volume low and barely audible. She smiles at me and gives me a nod, turning back to the TV and pretending to be watching it when I know she was really just keeping an eye on Valarian.

Valerian looked up at me, and his cheek was rested on his little hand as he tried to use the laptop. Walking over to him, I run my fingers through his hair before bending down and kissing his forehead before kneeling next to him and looking at the screen.

“What are you trying to do?” I ask him before standing and dragging the chair out beside him. He lets out a breath before looking at me.

“What are trying to do?” I ask him before standing and dragging the chair out beside him. He lets out a breath before looking at me.

“I wanna know who my dad is, why he left us. But I don’t know his last name, and Aunty Zo said to wait for you?” He says . I could tell he had been crying, his eyes were all puffy and red, and he sniffled before plucking a tissue and red, and he sniffled before plucking a tissue from the tissue box and blowing his nose.

He folds up his tissue into a perfectly neat square before placing it in the bin and washing his hands. I turn the laptop toward me before typing Alpha Valen Solace. Images and news articles pop up, and Valerian takes his seat next to me and looks at the screen before looking over at me, and I gesture toward the laptop.

“That’s your father,” I tell him, and he turns back to look at the screen.

“We have the same eyes, ” he says, looking at me. His amber eyes peered up at me, and his lashes were wet from crying. I nod sadly at him.

“Yes, you have his eyes; it’s a genetic trait on the male’s side,” I tell him, and he glances back at the pictures of his father on the screen. Valerian “When I fell pregnant with you, I didn’t know your father was mate, we met at an Alpha meeting, and we were both drinking, and that is when I fell pregnant,”

” So you kissed, and I was created?” I chuckle at his words, and so does Zoe behind me.

“Yep, that pretty much sums it up,” I tell him.

“So if you didn’t know he was your mate, how did we end up Rogue?”

“Because my father kicked me out because he thought I was a rogue whore, and I refused to terminate the pregnancy, I chose to keep you,” I tell him honestly.

“So I am the reason you are a rogue?”

” No, I am. Me being a rogue is not your fault, and I would choose you every time. If I could go back, I would still choose you, your my life, ” he seems to think, and I cup his cheek brushing my thumb over his cheek.

“Why were you at an Alpha meeting?”

“Because I used to be an Alpha, I was next in line to take over my father’s pack, ” His little brows scrunch together.

“So, did you only just find out my dad was your mate?” I sigh before rubbing my eyes and shaking my head.

“I have known for a while. When I first found out I was pregnant, I tried to tell your father, and he didn’t believe me; I then saw him a couple of years later, but your dad was drunk, he didn’t recognize me, and I think he thought I broke into his house, so he kicked me off his territory before I could tell him about you, ” I tell him.

“So you never had a chance to tell him, how long ago?”

“Nearly four years ago now,”

“So you have known all that time, but I heard aunty Macey say that grandma Val died from not being with her mate, that not having your mate can kill you, “

I bite my lip.” you shouldn’t listen to adult conversations,”

” But is it true, did she die because her mate didn’t want her?” I nod sadly, looking away.

“But it won’t happen to me; I have you to live for, I won’t die, Valarian. I have too much to live for, you being the biggest, ” I tell him, and he nods, looking at the screen. He clicks on some photos, making them larger so he could see his father’s features better and the pictures are clearer.
