Alpha’s Regret-My Luna Has A Son

It was strange having Valen under my roof, awkward. Everything I usually did for Valarian, he suddenly asked his dad to do. Like cut up his food, I was suddenly no longer needed; he asked for his father when it was his bath time. Most of my afternoon was spent twiddling my thumbs since I only had to heat dinner up. Yet Valen never once complained and seemed to enjoy his son’s constant attention.

Even as I went to put Valarian to bed, he asked if his father could tuck him in, I know it was childish, but nights were the only time I got to spend with him, really, so it bothered me more than it should. I was so used to juggling things between Zoe and me that it felt unnatural having someone willingly helping us, ruining our usual routine, I suddenly had time on my hands, and I wasn’t sure how I felt about that.

Once Valarian was tucked in bed, Valen returned to the living room. He scratched the back of his neck before looking at the empty spot beside me on the couch.

I rolled my eyes before moving over, and he smiled before coming to sit next to me and draping his arm across the back of it.

“Finally, Casey is down for the night,” Zoe says, coming out in her pajamas while braiding her hair. I had always been envious of how she could do that, I had tried and ended up only making a knotted mess, yet she did it so effortlessly.

Zoe comes over and sits down on one of the kids’

bean bags, the bag almost swallowing her petite frame as she sinks in it.

“I’m so damn tired, ” she yawns, covering her mouth with her hand.

“Ah, and tomorrow will be worse. We are down three staff in the kitchens, one in the creche playgroup. Two waitresses and have a full house,” Zoe sighs.

“Emily must also have the bug. She never showed up for work tonight, ” I tell her, getting up off the couch and walking over to the bookcase for my folder.

“I already checked the rosters for tomorrow,” Zoe tells me. I sat back down with the folder going to the events diary.

“I know, we will have to manage. I can work the lunch and night rush if you can handle the kids in the morning, “

” Sounds like a plan. I will wake you at eleven. If we are still down the next day, we can swap. Macey already pulled doubles two days in a row, ” she says, and I nod.

Zoe glances at the diary, “What are you looking for?”

“We need to find a date to move the Alpha meeting forward, ” I tell her, but the earliest date I could make work would be one week head, so instead of three weeks, it would be two.

“The lzth?” I ask him, and he looks over my shoulder, flicking through the pages before scrubbing his hand down his face.

“What’s wrong with this coming Friday? ” he asks while looking at the empty slot.

“That’s six days away, it wouldn’t be enough notice, and I am not sure I can get supplies in early enough, ” I tell him.

“Get what you can in. The rest I will organize from one of my Hotels and have it sent over. You still want to announce it, right?” I nod best to get it over and done with.

“Then it has to be the sixth, I can go unseen for a few days, but two weeks, two weeks, the media will come looking for me, ” He tells me, and I sighed but nodded.

“Though I am a little shocked it has stayed under wraps already, I am surprised one of your staff haven’t sold the story yet,” He says, and Zoe glares at him.

“They aren’t staff; they are family, we are all family, we stick together, ” She says, and Valen sticks his hands up in the air in surrender.

“Settle down; you and Macey are the most aggressive rogues I have ever met, geez, ” he says.
