Chapter 215

~Valerie’s POV~

"Hello, son." freewebnovel-cσ๓

The words rang louder than the towering space they echoed through.

His silver hair shimmered in the ambient light, streaked with rich violet at the base, just like mine. Long, sleek, flowing behind him like living silk.

His face bore a rare smile.

And for a second, I was six again, watching him descend the stairs, equal parts terrified and in awe.

He walked down slowly. His energy rolled in the room like steady waves—not loud, not hostile, but heavy enough to remind me exactly who he was.

When he reached me, he didn’t hesitate and pulled me into a hug.

A real one.

"Hello, son," he murmured again, this time softer.

I let him hold me.

It wasn’t often he did, and we both knew it.

"Hey, Dad," I mumbled against his shoulder before stepping back. "Still dramatic, I see."

My Dad chuckled. "It’s not drama if it’s a well-earned presence."

I raised a brow. "You rehearse that line?"

He smirked. "Every morning."

With a wave of his hand, he gestured to the hallway. "You must be hungry. Come, let’s have breakfast. I had the staff keep something warm."

There was no arguing with my old man, and I nodded as he led me towards the dining hall.

************

The dining room was, as usual, ridiculous. A long stretch of obsidian and pearl, golden arches framing the windows.

Light filtered in from enchanted glass, warming the whole space. A small, more intimate table had been set instead of the ceremonial one.

I took my seat across from him as a maid floated over, setting plates before us—steamed bread, buttered greens, citrus slices, and seared meat I hadn’t tasted in months.

"You’ve grown," he said as we began to eat. "More controlled like a man now."

I eye-rolled and shrugged. I literally grew in my dad’s eyes anytime he spends a little time away from me. "Maybe. Still figuring that part out."

"Hm." He smiled faintly. "Have you seen your mother this morning?"

I paused, shaking my head. "No. Is she in?"

"She left early. Said she had something to look into."

Typical. She moved through the world like a shadow sometimes. A mystery even to me.

Conversation settled into silence while we ate—until he broke it, as I knew he would. And honestly, I had been waiting for him to because, here was no way he did not know things happen in the werewolf kingdom.

"So..." Dad’s tone turned casual. Too casual. "Have you found your mate yet?"

I nearly choked on the citrus.

I wiped my mouth with a napkin, staring at him across the table. "No," I answered, giving nothing away. "The heavens haven’t blessed me yet."

His eyes narrowed slightly. "That so?"

"Well, your dad ainm’t wrong. He knows you like the back of his hand. You need to cease this chance and ask about Valerie," Zyler advised.
