Chapter 130: You Have to Go After Her

*Jared*

I returned to the palace to check on Xander’s kids and make sure his Beta, Adrian, had started reconstructing the capital, as instructed.

It wasn’t my place to check on those things, but I felt like I owed him, seeing as he had to take off so soon after we beat back the rogue army.

“You look like my dad.” A small voice caught me off guard as I walked into the palace.

I turned and saw a young boy, about five or six, standing by the door.

“Oh, hey there, I didn’t see you. Who’s your dad?”

“The king. That makes me a prince.” He pointed to his chest.

I couldn’t help but smile. Seeing him reminded me of Eliza and my unborn child. At the same time, I was very happy to meet my own nephew.

“What’s your name, little prince?” I asked.

“I’m Wyatt.”

“It is very nice to meet you, Prince Wyatt. I’m Jared. I do know your father.” It was a bit of a fabrication.

I hoped that when Xander and Lena returned, I might actually get the chance to build a brotherly relationship with him.
