Alpha’s Regret-My Luna Has A Son

Valen came back a few minutes later with a towel before marching into the bathroom and shutting the door while muttering under his breath. I heard the shower start and sighed. He had a point, though.

The media would go insane over two mates, especially one holding status in the city but living apart. The scandals it would lead to, and I could only imagine the speculation it would cause and the rift once everyone found out I was, in fact, Alpha John’s daughter. That was another thing I was also worried about because it would come out.

Secrets always do, they never remain hidden, and I know it would all come out when they dug into my past. Yet the thought of having to answer to someone irked me, and living with Valen, I knew I would have to, plus he could pull rank over me, yet the stories that would be in the papers. I could already imagine the headlines. ‘

Pack rivalry keeping mates apart.’ ‘Valen’s cheating ways’ ‘Trouble with the notorious Alpha’ stupid shit and that would be stacked on top of the ‘Everly the gold digger trapping the Alpha.’ ones. F*ck! I never thought of the different scenarios, and now they appeared endless. Valen walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist.

He ignored me, and I could feel he was upset. I chewed my lip before getting up off the couch, wandering down the hall toward his bedroom, and pushing the door open.

Valen was getting ready for bed as he pulled the sheets back. “If you are coming in here to tell me you don’t want to live with me or to give more bullshit excuses, Everly, I don’t want to hear it,” Valen said, climbing in bed and tugging the blankets up. He turned away from me, facing the wall, and I sighed before showering myself and returning to the room.

I rummaged through his closet for a shirt to wear before climbing in bed with him. Through the bond, I could tell he was still festering over our argument and very much awake as he kept his back to me. “You said earlier you wanted to be my Luna. How do you expect to do that if we live separately?” he said.

“The Alpha meeting is in two days. What do you expect me to tell everyone? Everly and I are mates, but it’s complicated? This isn’t like updating a F******k status Everly; I get you don’t want me to mark you yet, but at least f*cking try,” I remained quiet, pondering over my tho ughts and his words when he rolled over to face me.

will sound like an excuse,” I tell him and he sighs. Unless you had lived with the hopelessness of failing at everything and having no one to rely on, you couldn’t understand how terrifying it is to allow someone else to have even the slightest bit of control when you worked so hard to get where you are. Moving in with Valen would be trusting him not to break me again, not to take everything I worked

him until I found that place. No one helped me until Valarie, my own father, couldn’t

I used to use the excuse it was his cheating, the fact he didn’t recognize me, but deep down it had nothing to with that because he was here now,

back there again. And that thought terrified me, I had too much to lose now, and if I did,

It will be like throwing everything we worked hard for away if you make me give it up, to toss what I was trying to change away, and all of them will

When do they speak garbage against the way they treat rogue-whores or when the packs bring in another law that restricts them more, like the stupid schooling cuts they made last year? It will cause an uproar, one that will reflect poorly on you because
