Chapter 393. Tried

Valen’s POV

“Hey buddy, what you got going on here, hmm?” Devin’s low, gravelly voice poked through my sleep haze. “I don’t think sleeping out here on the pavement outside your parents' house was a good idea.”

My freshly awakened eyes blinked, squinting from the subtle rays of the morning sun that peeked through the tall tree between the two houses across from me.

“Urgh,” I groaned, turning my face to the side from the blinding light.

Devin was bent over me in a white tee and green trousers, nudging my bare shoulder. Thank the goddess he woke me.

After Dad threw me out in the wee hours, I stood out here shirtless in gray, ripped joggers, and watched him and Mom rush out to go find Venus.

Seems I really did black out after that.
