Kael's POV
"Raven, is it?" Jeffery asked.
Raven simply looked up at him, not reacting.
"I am informed that you cannot talk," Jeffery continued. "So I will take your silence as your consent. The reason you are standing here today is to decide which parent you wish to go with. Whether Alpha Kael… or the father who raised you for the past six years, Alpha Asher."
Raven still remained silent.
"Raven, you don't have to be scared," Eira said softly. "Come to Mommy, alright."
He turned his head to look at her… then to me.
I offered him a nod. "Daddy's here. You know I am always with you. I will protect you."
But then Asher called him as well, "Raven."
Raven looked at him, his gaze instantly wary. It looked like he couldn't ignore this voice at all.
"You know what to do, my smart pup," Asher said his expressions calm, but his gaze carried a warning for Raven. "Daddy doesn't need to remind you again and again, right?"
