Silas's POV
I was listening silently since it wasn't my place to say anything. But when that kid suddenly started warning the prince of the Lupin Pack, I couldn't hold myself back. I had to speak up.
"Velric, come here."
As I spoke, Kael also glanced at me. When Velric looked in my direction, I made a serious face—kids shouldn't talk to their elders like that, especially not for Kael, who wasn't even his father.
I don't know anything about being his mother, but I can't abandon this kid. Who knows what might happen to him if I do?
"Mumma, are you angry at me? Did I do something wrong?"
His cute voice and innocent face were practically begging me to let it go, to allow him to do whatever he wanted.
But I had already made up my mind. Once we return to the Bloodfang Pack, I'll do a paternity test to find out if he's really my son or if I'm just getting caught up in my own imagination.
"Velric… Is this how you talk to adults now? Do you think that guy is your age or something?"
