The Witch and Her Four Dangerous Alphas

Chapter 170: Chapter 170: Breakfast with her Dad

It is already late; you should get ready. We’re having breakfast with Uncle Maximus today."

Serena blinked and smiled. "Oh! Really? With him?"

"Yes," Vaelen nodded, folding his arms with that familiar brotherly look. "And it’s already late. You spent half the morning laughing with these idiots."

Serena laughed softly. "I know, I had too much fun. Okay! I will get ready quickly."

She waved to him and started heading toward her room.

But behind her, the warriors who were still hanging around the training ground began to protest loudly.

"Aww, don’t go yet!" one of them shouted.

"Yeah! We were just starting to have fun again!"

"Stay a little longer, Lady Serena!"

They all made pitiful faces, like a group of puppies being left behind.

Serena couldn’t help it; she burst into laughter. "You all are so dramatic," she said with a shake of her head. "I’ll see you later, okay?"

"Promise?" someone called.

"Promise!" she said, smiling brightly and waving her hand.

The warriors sighed in fake sadness, clutching their chests like she had broken their hearts. "Ah, she abandoned us!" one groaned. "My heart can’t take it!"

Serena just laughed again before finally turning away.

And soon, she disappeared down the corridor.

The moment she was out of sight, Vaelen’s expression changed. His smile faded, replaced by a sharp glare.

He turned toward the warriors, his voice dropping low.

"You all are getting bold," he said, eyes narrowing. "Flirting with her right in front of me, huh?"

The warriors froze.
