90 Chapter 90 Finally Dad
“You know?” I whispered, hardly daring to believe it.
“Daddy?”
The door opened to reveal Theo. He stood taller than usual, shoulders straight, with a shy smile playing at the corners of his mouth. Those eyes, so much like Seraphina’s, looked at me with an expression I had never seen before.
Theo nodded, his smile growing wider. “Mommy told me,” he said simply. “She said you are my dad.”
Elena gasped, wonder replacing confusion. “A brother?” she breathed, looking at Theo with shining eyes.
I held her closer, breathing in her sweet scent. “I know, sweetheart. Daddy is sorry,” I murmured, fighting to keep my voice steady. “Things are going to be different for a while. I will try my best to be there every night, but I cannot make promises right now.”
But the deeper I dug, the stranger things became. Dorian’s pack existed like shadows in our world. No one knew much about them. They kept to themselves, avoided other shifter communities entirely. He had never actually visited other territories to seek alliances or a mate. His focus had been singular and terrifying – my pack, my territory,
my woman.
My son. The boy I longed to claim but had waited for Seraphina to decide when the time was right.
“Come in,” I called out, still holding my daughter close.
He stepped inside, took a deep breath, and straightened his small frame with determination that made my heart race. Then, in a clear voice that shattered my world completely, he spoke.
Elena tugged at my shirt, confusion clear on her face. “Daddy? Is Theo your son too?”
A gentle knock interrupted my spiraling thoughts. Before I could respond, the door opened slowly, and a small face peered around the edge,
Guilt twisted in my chest like a knife. How could I explain what was coming? How could I tell her that everything was about to change, that her simple world of bedtime stories and goodnight kisses would become complicated by the existence of another

family, another home?
“Elena,” I breathed, pushing away from the desk and crossing to her in quick strides. She launched herself into my arms, tiny hands wrapping around my neck as I lifted her
The stories about him traveling territory to territory, seeking a mate and building alliances, were complete lies. Dorian had done none of those things. Instead, he had become fixated on Seraphina with a dangerous intensity that made my wolf pace restlessly beneath my skin.
Julian’s POV
“I missed you so much,” she whispered against my shoulder. “You didn’t come tuck me in last night.”
Time stopped. Air rushed from my lungs. That single word echoed through my mind like thunder. Dad. Not Julian, not sir. Dad.
What I discovered made my blood run cold.
Every dark cloud in my mind evaporated instantly. Elena stood there, her bright eyes sparkling with the innocence that never failed to heal my soul. My daughter had this incredible power to transform my entire world with just her presence.
Something inside me broke open. For the first time, I could openly embrace my son without hesitation or hidden feelings. I dropped to my knees and pulled Theo against me, holding him with all the love I had kept locked away. My wolf howled with recognition and completion, finally able to acknowledge what we had always known.
“Julian,” she said quietly, “we need to talk.”
“Hi, Dad.”
The office door opened again, and Seraphina stepped inside. Her expression was serious, almost grim, as she took in the scene of me holding both children.
Each word felt like betrayal, even though I knew honesty was better than false hope,
The most disturbing discovery was about Dorjan himself. The previous Alpha of his pack had no blood connection to him whatsoever, Not his father, not his uncle, no family tie at all. Somehow, Dorian had claimed leadership through means that violated every ancient law of succession our kind held sacred. The how remained a mystery that made my skin crawl.
