Chapter 80 Valen POV 

It was bucketing down as Marcus pulled up out the front so I could pick Valarian up from school. I stepped out of the car into a puddle; the gutters overflowing and spilling onto the footpath. The drains were blocked. The water flowed down the gutter, rushing like a river and filling my shoe with water.

I growl, shaking my foot to get the water out of my shoe before racing for the school’s front door. Marcus waited behind in the car because he was on the phone still, the audio going through the car’s Bluetooth. M y toes squelched in my shoes as I walked on the slippery floors to the primary office.

On the way here, I called ahead. So when I stepped into the small office, the secretary called up to his class the moment she saw me walk in to let the teacher know I was here to collect him.

“He will be right down, Alpha,” the secretary tells me, and I nod to her before walking around the room and looking at the school awards hanging on the brown brick walls. I shrugged my coat off, which was drenched from the downpour, and draped it over one arm as I looked around.

“Scouts found nothing,” Marcus says, walking into the small school office. He shakes his head, spraying water everywhere, and I growl when it gets some on me, wiping my face with the back of my hand, and he laughs, running his fingers through his wet hair. He had been on the phone with the scouts to check if they had found anything about Emily’s missing son.

“You tell them to head back? This storm looks like it will be a big one,” I ask him, and he nods before dialing a number into his phone. I watch as he holds the phone to his ear, his face lined with worry.

“Zoe is not answering her phone. I have tried to call five times today,” he whines when I look at him questionably. Marcus hangs up when she doesn’t answer and sends her a message instead. He purses his lips in frustration, and I raise an eyebrow at him as he glares at his phone screen.

“She is probably working,” I tell him, and he sighs.
