Valen POV
The moment I laid eyes on him, I knew he was mine when he suddenly squeals loudly and barrels toward me on his little legs, crashing against me. I imagine the look on my face was of pure horror at first as the pint–sized creature clung to my legs. Tatum and Marcus just stared gobsmacked und Marcus had his mouth wide open like he trying to catch flies.
“I found you, I found you, I knew I would find you,” the boy screams, bouncing on the balls of his feet. I pat his back, not knowing what to do with the kid. Yet, touching him only made this scenario more real. For a moment, I wonder if my drink had been spiked and someone slipped me hard drugs. For a second, I kind of hoped they had until I get a whiff of his
scent.
He was a rogue, but his Alpha aura is strong, too strong for just me, indicating both his parents were Alpha born. Only another Alpha would scent the potency of his aura even as small as he is, but his scent was also familiar.
“So he is yours then?” Tatum asks, stepping into my apartment. I blink before staring down at him, his big amber eyes staring up at me. There was no doubt. He was mine. And I nod, apparently I have a son? But how, who wouldn’t jump at the chance to have a kid with an Alpha? What woman in the world would hide it, that’s assurance for life having an Alpha’s

“Who did you knock up?” Tatum asks while Marcus just rubs his chin; raising a finger in the air like he was about to say something then closes his mouth before opening and closing it. It’s the first time I had seen him lost for words.
“Everly…she has a?” he doesn’t finish when I pick up the creature that apparently came from my family jewels. I press my nose into his neck, wondering if I smelled rig i nearly drop him when I am smashed with her mouth–watering scent perfuming out from his pores along with mine.
The boy giggles and tucks his chin as my stubble brushes his neck and face. “Stop, it tickles,” he laughs, and I can’t help but smile at his adorable cackle before he reaches for my neck with his tiny hands, and I place him on my hip, sniffing his head.
“Your mother is Everly Summers?”
He nods. “Yep, and I am Valarian Summers.”
Well, that would be changing, I think instantly.
“Mom will be so happy, now you can be with my Mom, I can take you home to surprise her, and we can be a real family,” he says, smiling with all his teeth on display. Somehow, I did not see that happening, but it raised another question, how the hell did I get her pregnant when I hadn’t slept with her?

“Valarian?” I murmur, making me wonder if he was named after me and what a resemblance to my mother’s name. Valarie; she died when I was a baby. I liked the name but was shocked she would name him after me, yet how did she manage to keep him from me, and more importantly, how is he here without her? This can’t be real.
“How old are you?” I ask him.
“Five,” he answers, holding up his hand fingers splayed out,
and I look at Marcus.
“How?” I ask him, and he shrugs.
“Well, I am sure you know how,” Marcus says, and I raise an eyebrow. Of course, I know–how. But I wanted know how it was possible; it made no sense.
“He is Everly’s,” I repeat to him, and he nods.
“Get in and close the door,” I snap at them both in case someone comes up here looking for me. I definitely didn’t want anyone overhearing how the mother of my child kept him a secret from me.
“I’m hungry, dad. I haven’t had lunch. It took all day to find you,” Valarian says, and Marcus walks over to take him, but I tug away from him, not wanting to put my new son down. Instead, I hug him closer and smell his scent. God we smell

“I will make the food then,” Marcus says, and I nod to him. I hated Marcus’s cooking, but right now, I wasn’t willing to put him down as if he could somehow vanish, and it would all be a dream, one I didn’t want but now suddenly couldn’t imagine not having him in it. Please be real; if I wake and it isn’t real, I may just consider that I have lost my mind because who dreams this shit up? And actually wants it desperately to be true. I always wanted kids but never dreamed of ~ctually having them.
“Uncle Marcus will make you something to eat.” Valarian nods and eyes Marcus curiously.
“He doesn’t smell like you?”
“I am an only child, so he is not a real uncle, but he is like my brother to me.”
“Ah, you have a village too? Mom and I have a village, Aunty Zoe and Aunty Macey, are Mom’s village, did your dad make you leave too as Mom’s did? He called her names, and we had to build our own family,” Valarian states, and I blink at him, surprised to hear all of this come from him.
“How about you tell me all about your village, and then I think we should ring your Mom?”
Valarian nods., “So, you aren’t coming home with me?” he

“How about we try to bring your mom here?” I tell him while walking into the living room.
“Thirsty, there is chocolate milk?” Marcus calls out to him, and he nods. Marcus continues to the kitchen, and I place him on the couch, sitting across from him on the other. Marcus brings him a glass of milk, and Valarian takes it from him, gulping down half the glass before looking around at the coffee table. His brows furrow, but he doesn’t set the glass down and I clench my teeth, I knew Marcus did it to see my reaction by the smug smile on his face, but I was shocked by Valarian’s following words.
