Lupin pack - 19

Silas's POV 

I knelt beside Velric, gently squeezing his hand. "Velric, don't worry. Kael is totally fine. He'll wake up soon."

But Velric shook his head. "I want to stay with Papa."

Seeing how determined he was, I decided to let him stay.

I helped him into the ambulance, where he sat beside Kael, watching over him. Kael was still unconscious, and aside from the two of them, no one else was inside.

After making sure Velric was settled, I stepped outside, After stepping outside, I instinctively glanced back into the ambulance.

What I saw made me pause.

Velric was staring at Kael, his small face full of concern. 

Then, without a word, he climbed onto Kael's chest and lay down on top of him.

I stood there for a moment, watching.

He truly saw Kael as his father. That much was clear.

The way he clung to him, the way he refused to leave his side—I didn't need words to understand how much he cared.
