Valen led us toward the door, and I was relieved he was letting me take our son home. Valarian had his head rested on my shoulder when Valen opened the door. My footsteps faltered, and I froze when I noticed his father talking to one of the guards out front. Valen also stopped, and I watched his father laugh at something one of the guards was telling him when he turned, and his eyes went to us standing in the doorway of his son’s apartment.

I drop my face into the Valarian’s shoulder, and Alpha Kalen growls when Valen steps in front of me, blocking the view I had of his father. My heart fluttered frantically, noticing the man, and I fought the urge to take a step back.

“Why the f*ck do you have a rogue-whore in your apartment- ” His words cut off as his eyes settled on Valarian in my arms, his head just poking out above Valen’s shoulder. He looked at his son and sniffed the air before shoving past Valen, and I stumbled over my own feet moving a step away.

Valen’s growl resonated off the walls as he tossed his father against the wall, making me jump. A hand grips my shoulder before I am yanked backward and out of the way. Valen pins his father against the wall. Valen’s forearn was resting against Kalen’s throat.

I looked over my shoulder to see who had grabbed me and found Tatum and Marcus behind me. Marcus jerks me behind him, and Tatum grips my arms holding me steady before Marcus moves to the middle.

“What is the meaning of this Valen, that boy,” Kalen growls and looks back over at me, and his eyes narrow before shock flitted across his face.

“You, ” he pointed at me, and Valen growls at his father in a clear warning.

“Everly! And you ever approach her like that father, and we will have issues, ” Valen warns, his canines slipping from his parted lips at angled toward his father’s throat.

“You know her? ” Kalen asked, looking back at his son, and Valen sighed.

“Yes, ” Valen says, letting his father go and fixing his father’s jacket. Kalen readjusted his tie before he glanced between us. Valarian stirs in my arms and lifts his head before turning to investigate what is going on. Kalen’s eyes widened when Valarian turned his head and looked at him.

Having never met Valarian, Kalen took a startled step back when his eyes fell on his grandson. he looked even more shocked than seeing the woman his mate left everything she owned to.

“Mummy, who is that man?” Valerian whispers to me as he pats the side of my face, trying to get my attention. My eyes remain on the man responsible for killing the woman who made me who I am today.

“He is your grandfather, ” I tell Valarian while pressing my face to his and inhaling his scent, allowing me to calm some. Kalen blinked and went to take a step forward when his shoulder brushed

Valen, who had once again moved into his path.

Marcus also moves more blocking Alpha Kalen and taking up a protective stance behind Valen.

“You have a son?” Kalen gasps as he turns his head to look at Valen.

“Yes, and this is Everly; she is my mate, “

“What? The rogue-whore is your mate?” “Call her that once more, father, and see what happens, ” Valen warns. I was a little shocked to see him defend my title against his father, and I saw Kalen swallow. Kalen waves his hands in the air, and  it is clear to me he was trying to get over his shock.

I shuffle my feet awkwardly and rely on Valen to keep his father in check. Marcus and Valen looked over at me, struggling to hold Valarian’s weight.
