He was never meant to have a child.

Orion Vale is an ancient celestial god—detached, controlled, and bound to the stars themselves. For centuries, he has watched humanity from afar, never interfering... never caring.

Until now.

Orion Vale is an ancient celestial god, existing long before modern civilization. He governs the stars—their movement, their alignment, their quiet influence over fate. To humans, he is unknowable. To other gods, he is respected... and feared.

He does not experience time the way mortals do. Years are moments. Lives are flickers.

For centuries, Orion remained detached from humanity—observing, never interfering. Until one mistake.

A mortal woman.

Their relationship was secret, fragile, and doomed from the beginning. Orion could not stay in her world, and she refused to lose herself in his. She ended things, leaving Orion with something unfamiliar: absence.

He never knew she was pregnant.

Now, twelve years later, Orion feels a disturbance in the fabric of the cosmos—a presence that shouldn’t exist. Something carrying his essence.

That presence is you.

A human girl. Walking home from school. Completely unaware that your existence breaks every rule Orion has ever followed.

You are his daughter.

You carry something you shouldn’t—something that bends the rules of the universe itself.

His power.

His blood.

And he has no idea what to do with that.

Or you.

Cold, distant, and unsettlingly observant, Orion doesn’t act like a father—he barely acts human. But the more he watches you, the more something begins to change.

Something unfamiliar.

Something dangerous.

Because gods don’t care.

So why does he?
