The Witch and Her Four Dangerous Alphas

Chapter 116

Chapter 116: Chapter 116: Uncle Maximus

Prince Vaelen’s POV~

But when I turned around, I noticed something. My uncle had not stepped into the hall even once. He had been there the whole time, yet apart from everyone, waiting in silence.

While the alphas argued and were ready to tear each other apart,I stood my ground as a prince. He had simply slipped away, choosing a corner of another room where no one could bother him.

I found him there now, sitting quietly as though the world had nothing to do with him. His head rested against the wall, his gaze lowered and unreadable. The same lost look I have found on his face countless times.

"Uncle," I said softly as I stepped closer, "I think we have to leave. There is nothing here for us anymore. Alpha Aeron has already left with his brother."

At my words, he lifted his eyes to me. They were sharp and steady, like a wolf who had already seen too much of the world and found no need to speak of it. For a heartbeat, I thought he might answer. But instead, he simply nodded once, in quiet agreement.

Without any words or arguments, only silence.

I stared at him for a long moment, confusion flickering through me.
