Silas’s POV
Lysander also got into the car, taking a seat in the back.
As I continued hugging Velric, I suddenly felt a gentle touch on my head.
I turned toward Theron—he was looking at with a soft smile on his face.
"Welco back, shorty," he said teasingly.
"Yes, I’m back, piggy," I replied, smirking.
Then Theron turned his gaze to the backseat where Lysander was sitting.
"Welco back, my dear brother."
I had told Theron during our second phone call—when we finally got a chance to talk properly—that both Lysander and Damon were at the training base too, and that everything had been sorted out between us.
I had forgiven them, and there were no hard feelings anymore.
I also ntioned there was sothing important I would explain to him once I got back, and he said he’d be waiting.
Later, when I was talking to Orian, I found out sothing shocking—the man in the photo that yer had shown , claiming he was the mastermind behind Orian’s kidnapping and that I had planned it with him... was already dead. He’d died ten years ago.
It only ans one thing—we still don’t know who the real mastermind is.
The na yer told that day in my apartnt, the one he claid belonged to soone from the Temple, might be the real lead.
yer never managed to find a photo of that person, but he was certain—everything that happened to , from the kidnapping to the blood extraction, is connected to him.
But I can’t afford to focus on this right now. I snapped myself out of those thoughts, because if I let them consu , I’ll fall into depression.
And maybe that’s exactly what this person wants—for to break down, to give up.
I won’t let that happen.
Right now, all I can do is focus on what’s in front of —my performance next week.
This is a big project, a huge opportunity. I need to give it my all, because if I succeed, it could change everything.
"What are you thinking, shorty?"
I glanced up at Theron. Velric was also touching my hand, and Lysander was looking at with a worried face from behind. I smiled.
"I’m just thinking about our performance."
I told Theron everything about our performance. He was pretty excited too. We ca back ho directly from there.
Lysander also ca with us. It seed he didn’t want to return ho so quickly. After all, he was all alone at ho.
I an, he was talking about his own house, not the mansion where his parents live.
When we reached the apartnt and opened the door, I saw there were so many toys scattered around on the ground.
A black toy car was also there beside the sofa. I think they were Velric’s toys. Theron must have bought all of this for Velric.
"What is this, Theron? Why are there so many toys here?"
Velric quickly ran and hid behind Theron.
He was right beside , but when I asked about the toys, he thought I was going to scold him.
That’s why he hide behind theron But I’m not gonna scold him at all.
Lysander seed to like toys too, because when he ca inside, he sat on the ground and grabbed those toys.
Seeing him sitting there, Velric ca out from behind Theron and went beside him. They both started playing with the toys like kids.
Lysander put Velric into the car and was pushing it around the house.
Great—they were getting along really well. That’s why I sat down on the sofa, resting my back against it.
I was feeling so comfortable. And now, there was no more training, no more working out.
Wait, it’s not like I’m going to stop working out. Next week is my performance—how can I stop? I still need to practice more.
But before that, I’m going to get so rest. For the whole day, I’m gonna sleep without waking up. That’ll recharge , I know.
Theron also ca and sat down beside . He looked more tired than . Like, I don’t even know why he was tired.
Still, I rested my head on his shoulder. Him sitting by my side was giving really nice vibes, and I felt happy.
I closed my eyes and imagined I was lying down on the grass, with beautiful nature right in front of .
I got lost in that nature, and suddenly my eyes snapped open.
I found myself lying on the bed in my room, and Velric was also sleeping beside , hugging . I checked the ti—it was 10 at night.
I still rembered that it was 1 in the afternoon when we had reached ho, and I had just closed my eyes for a mont.
But here I was, waking up at night. Oh man, I really did sleep a lot. Theron must’ve carried into the bedroom. Just then, faint voices reached my ears.
I covered Velric with a blanket and ca out of the bedroom.
When I stepped out, it was dark in the living room. Only the kitchen light was on, and Theron and Lysander were talking.
"To be honest, I had a hunch that he is our fated mate, but I didn’t say it to anyone," Theron said.
"But when bro Damon pointed it out, he said it was Silas’s pheromones that he had felt in childhood. And even Silas told the truth—that Orian used to like his pheromones, that’s why he covered Orian with them."
Wait... they’re talking about .
"Theron."
As I called out Theron’s na, they both suddenly went quiet and turned towards . So I took a step toward them.
"What are you two talking about?"
I sat down on the other sofa and glanced at them. They seed on guard, like I caught them stealing sothing in my house.
"You said there was sothing important you wanted to talk about. You were gonna tell after coming out, so tell now," Theron asked.
