Alpha’s Regret-My Luna Has A Son

Chapter 99 Avoiding Valen’s watchful eyes in the past 24 hours has been near impossible . It didn’t help that morning sickness decided to rear its ugly head . I believe that now I knew I was pregnant . Every pregnancy symptom suddenly sprang forward with an ugly vengeance , trying to screw me out of hiding it . He knows something is up because I had no doubt he could feel it . Zoe and Macey had been at me all day about it , and just when I thought , I finally escaped them by hiding in my makeshift office in the events hall .

Thanks to Alpha Nixon , it used to be a storage room for tables and chairs , but is now my new office . It was nearly time to clock out and head home . Valen said he would pick me up tonight , worried I would run myself off the road , confusing my fear of him finding out with nervousness about the upcoming challenge But Macey and Zoe weren’t giving up so easily as they burst into my office , blocking the door as I switched my desk lamp off that was running off an extension cord from the main room .

I roll my eyes as they stop my exit . Looking at the clock above the door , I pin them both with my glare , they know Valen will be here any minute , or maybe that was their plan so they could out me . ” Everly , you aren’t leaving us much choice , ” Macey says , folding her arms across her chest . ” That’s because it isn’t your choice , I have to challenge my father . The entire city knows about the challenge . I back down now the rogues will think I am running . I need to do this , ” I tell them .

” But the risks , you can’t shift ! ” Zoe says , her hands reaching toward my non existent bump like she pictured it round and full of limbs . ” I’m durable . I know what I am doing , I won’t let him harm me . Besides , he knows , ” I tell them , chewing my lip nervously . ” Your father knows , yet you haven’t told your mate ! ” Macey growls at me . ” I didn’t tell him , he found out for one , and secondly , if I do this , we hold reign over a third of the city ; Valen held half

We only need to tip the scales a little more . Valen holds control , but not enough without my father’s pack to change the laws himself . Slasher , Shadow , and Nixon hold the other half , therefore equal votes within the council . This throws that out , ” 11 S ” Yes , but not at risk to your … child . Think Everly ! If you do this , you are putting yourself at risk . ” Macey argues . ” I’m already at risk . This is bigger than me . For all those in the city , my life seems a no – brainer . But don’t worry , I am not planning on losing , so it will mean something . Valen can’t challenge for the title , only an heir can . My father holds the land titles .

I need these land titles before Nixon gets his hands on them . This needs to be done . It is the only way to set everything right , back to the way Valarie intended , ” I retort . ” The City can wait ! ” Macey says , and I shake my head and push past them . ” I won’t blow my chance . Every fucking step we take , we get knocked back four . I am sick of playing this Yoyo game of cat and mouse . I am done being the mouse ! The laws pass when I beat him .

. A couple of the workers in the event hall rush out , thinking we are about to come to blows . We never have and never will . But this shit was getting to me . ” Everly , please , ” Zoe murmurs . ” I’m tired . I’m so fucking tired of battling , don’t you get it ? How many girls have come through our damn doors looking for a place to stay and work ? How many ? ” I ask them

families abandoned them , their packs shunned them ? How many hungry mouths do we have to feed before we suddenly can’t anymore ? ” ” It’s not your battle Everly , ” Macey says . ” It is ! ” I screamed . Everything became too much and erupted in anger , everything crashing and smashing relentlessly . Something’s gotta give ! I am drowning here , and everything is just adding weight

fighting . I just want to rest , and if this is what I have got to do to get it , then so be it , Tears burn my eyes and Zoe’s . Macey purses her lips , looks at the ceiling , and clicks her tongue . I suck in a breath before turning on my heel , walking out toward the doors . ” Valarie wouldn’t want you to risk yourself like this . Risk her grandchild , ” Macey says , and I stop . ” That’s unfair , Macey , ” I tell her , spinning around , and she shrugs . ” It’s true , ” she says . ” Who do you think I am doing this for ? ” I tell her

no one else did . This , everything we have done and all those we helped , was for her . She had the vision to make this city free . It was supposed to be free , and they took it from her . I tell them . ” I am just getting it back

her son and her family’s reputation , her home , and the city , and I will be damned if I let that keep repeating . It takes me a few seconds to regain myself and I groan when

and Zoe behind me . I wait for it , wait for everything to unravel and fall apart again . We were so close , so close . ” I’m fine . Where is Valarian ? ” I ask him . ” In the car with Marcus . What’s going on

them to say something . ” Why is everyone crying ? Answer me , someone ! ” he snaps , looking at us all , and I look at them . Zoe opens her mouth , and I beg

to speak , but I am grateful they didn’t say anything . Macey walks over to me , chucks her arm over my shoulder , and Zoe follows . We walk out to the car , and Marcus is leaning against the hood . He moves to the back door and opens it , and Casey climbs out .. ” Everything alright ? ” he asks Zoe , who nods to him . He doesn’t look like he believes her either , but we all say

. I know it must be hard to challenge your father , ” Valen says . I shake my head , and he squeezes my hand . ” It’s not that . Just don’t be mad afterward , ” I tell him , suddenly feeling guilty . We had come so
