The Valkyrie Returns and Slays (Raven) novel Chapter 457

Chapter 457 Illegitimate Son?

“I found him,” Raven nodded. “But I’ve lost contact with him again recently. I’m also trying to track hirn down.”

Saxon paused, startled. “You mean… Cassian’s gone missing too?”

“You could say that,” Raven replied, casting him a strange look.

Something about Saxon was seriously off today.

He’d just been fretting over Benedict’s safety, and now he was suddenly shifting gears to ask about Cassian? The switch was too quick. Something wasn’t right.

“What matters now is finding Benedict,” Saxon said, as his phone started ringing. “If you hear anything, you have to let me know.”

He glanced at the caller ID, gestured apologetically to Raven, and stepped aside to answer it.

Just then, two of Saxon’s men entered. “Miss Valor.”

They didn’t know exactly who Raven was, but judging by the way their boss treated her–with such familiarity and respect- they dared not show the slightest rudeness.

Raven gave them a curt nod. “Any news?”

The two men exchanged uneasy glances. One finally said, “We’re sorry… the surveillance system was down. We still don’t know which exit young Mr. Valor used.”

“Young Mr. Valor?” Raven’s brow arched. A suspicion crept into her mind, but she didn’t let it show. “Does he often sneak off like that?”

“No,” one of the men replied quickly. “He usually sticks close to the boss. He’s never wandered off on his own before. But ever since we got to Broson City, he’s been running off a lot.”

Raven’s eyes narrowed. “You mean you all came to Broson City together? He was with Saxon this whole time?”

“Yes, ma’am,” the man confirmed.

As she watched them nod, Raven’s expression grew even colder. ‘What exactly is the relationship between Benedict and Saxon?‘

He had no idea how much Raven knew. Feeling cornered, he attempted to play dumb. “What relationship? I have nothing to do with that kid. Wasn’t I just helping you find his birth parents?”

“You already know?” Saxon cursed inwardly. ‘Damn it. Why didn’t I warn them to keep quiet about the boy’s identity?‘ Now that Raven had figured it out, she’d never take it lightly.

He hesitated for a moment, then tried to calm her. “Raven, I get how you’re feeling. But no one wanted th like this. You have to accept it.”

to turn out

“Accept it?” Raven’s voice turned icy. “Accept what? That you fathered a child behind everyone’s back? That you dumped

him like luggage and left him to fend for himself without caring how dangerous it might be?”
