My lip quivered as I searched for an explanation, and Asher rose from his seat. However, just as the Alpha King took a step toward us, the sleeping prince’s eyes

opened.

“Daddy?” the young boy managed. “What happened?”

Asher seemed to forget about us completely and turned his full attention to hist son. He squatted down beside the boy and took his hand.

“You’re awake,” he said in relief. “Oh, thank goodness. Do you feel any better

now?”

His tone was gentle, something I’d never heard from him before. Or perhaps I had, but the memories were buried now.

The young prince nodded and smiled at his father. “I feel better now, Daddy…”

“Do you remember what happened?” Asher asked quietly and when the boy shook his head, he sighed. “That’s alright. What’s important is that you’re safe and- feeling better than before. I’m so relieved.”

As he held his son’s hand, I noticed Finnick gazing at them longingly. It tugged at my heartstrings, but there was nothing I could do except get the both of us away

from here.

“We need to go,” I whispered, and I carefully took his hand in mine. Finnick’s eyes flashed, and for a moment, he appeared as if he wanted to say something more to Asher, but instead he just nodded. I knew he was still curious about why the Alpha King had the same eye color as him, but he was smart enough to know when it was time to quit asking questions. I knew he would probably bring it up on the way home, but I would deal with it then.

own life.

“Your Majesty, may I leave with my son?” I asked Asher politely.
