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.

I will do, that you keep refusing to try and make this work?” Valen asked. There were plenty of things I was afraid of, Valen taking control of ever thing in my life when I only just got some semblance of the normal

was scared of him taking my son and me losing the hotel and everyone who relies on that place, worried about the rogue woman losing everything when they have no jobs because I failed them. But most of all, I was afraid of ending up back in a shitbox car living in the train station parking lot with Valarian. I was scared of losing everything, just like I had. Going back to having nothing and no one, at least with how things are,

it is to allow someone else to have even the slightest bit of control when you worked so hard to get where you are.

no bullshit just tell me,” Valen breathed, frustrated. “I lost everything for our son, everything Valen. I had no one and o my him until I found that place. No one helped me until

that. I won’t lose it all, I won’t go back to that place where I let myself think I would have help, only to find out I wouldn’t and that everything could be taken away from me,” I answered honestly. I used to use the excuse it was his cheating, the fact he didn’t recognize

I had too much to lose now, and if I did, I would lose everything, including my son. “But no one is taking anything from

I know you want to make up for it, but it f*cking haunts me. Do you have any idea how lonely it is when you have a baby relying on you to keep it alive and fed when you have nothing and no one to help? Then to feel

of giving them up, you can’t bear the thought of letting someone else raise them, I lived with that guilt of thinking I was destroying my son, so I dam n near k*lled myself to earn the right to be his mother, one he deserved, I created a life for us, I won’t lose it,” I tell him. “You

happens once you mark me? You make me give up the hotel? Take it from me, from

I, we built that place. I won’t allow you to take it

you give it up?” Valen asks. “Yes, but I am also worried about what they will think when I become one of those that suppressed them in the first place. You marking me doesn’t just affect me; it affects them when I become what society wants, what you want,” I tell him. “What do you want then?” “What I want is for my son not

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 go back to being just another rogue whore, and I will just be another selfish Alpha,” I

on you to force me to conform to their ways, you think I will remain quiet in Alpha meetings? 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
