Lycan's Prey by Jessica Hall

Chapter 38 – part 1

Valen leads us toward the door, and I feel relieved he was letting me take our son home. Valarian had his head rested on my shoulder when Valen opens the door. My footsteps falter, and I freeze when I notice his father talking to one of the guards out front. Valen also stops, and I watch his father laugh at something one of the guards was telling him when he turns. His eyes go to us standing in the doorway of his son’s apartment.

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

“Why the fuck do you have a rogue whore in your apartment…” His words cut off as his eyes settle on Valarian in my arms, his head just poking out above Valen’s shoulder. He looks at his son and sniffs the air before shoving past Valen, and I stumble over my own feet moving a step away.

Valen’s growl resonates off the walls as he tosses 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 forearm is resting against

“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 points 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, angled toward his father’s throat.

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

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

Having never met Valarian, Kalen takes a startled step back when his eyes fall on his grandson. He looks even more shocked than seeing the woman his mate left everything she owned to.

“Mommy, who is that man?” Valarian whispers to me as he pats the side of my face, trying to get my attention. My eyes
