Alpha’s Regret-My Luna Has A Son

Valen POV

This was not what I expected. Everly was on attack the entire time, yet the longer I watched, I realized John wasn’t even fighting. He could have landed multiple blows on her and she even left herself open a couple times where he could have taken her out but he didn’t. Ava stood beside me chewing her nails nervously, her eyes glued to the match and Macey and Zoe beside her with the same frightened expressions on their faces.

Something was going on. It was almost like John was deliberately throwing the challenge.

“Why isn’t he fighting back?” Marcus whispered and I shrug, but Everly was becoming tired and she only had two minutes left before they had to shift. Nixon was screaming at John to take her out, screaming like a damn banshee and distracting both of them. I have put up more of a fight with her when training with her, yet John almost seemed scared of hurting her and Everly was also holding back. He had hit her once and it was only in the thigh, he had ample opportunity at body and head shots but never took one of them.

The siren blared signaling it was time to shift. And I noticed Everly glance at Ava nervously. I could see John talking to her while they fought, but once that signal went off he had no choice but to shift. However, Everly didn’t.

“What are you doing? Shift!” I scream at her and I see Ava take a step forward to the pit and Macey grips her arm and shakes her head. Ava’s body trembles like she was about to shift herself and run in there if Macey hadn’t stopped her.

“Everly, shift!” I command through the mindlink. She tenses and looks at me over her shoulder and fights my command when Ava notices my command over her she yells at me.

“She can’t! Drop your command! You are distracting her!” Ava snapped at me and my brows furrowed in confusion and I was about to ask what she was talking about when John’s huge wolf stalks toward Everly and she backs up, turning to her side, making herself a smaller target but still she doesn’t shift.

Ava walks the sideline with me. “Everly, back out!” Ava snarls at her sister but she shakes her head not turning her head away from the fight. John charges at her and I hold my breath. Everly jumps back and pivots, her foot connecting with him under the ribs, only for him to turn and slash her thigh. She staggers back and he pounces on her at the same time her fist connects with the side of his head. He shakes his head and backs up, snarling and snapping his huge teeth at her.

“Everly, what are you doing? F*cking shift!” I yell at her as her pants become soaked with her blood from his claws slashing her outer thigh. Nixon screams at him, distracting him for a second and she jumps on him. Wrapping her arms around his neck and her legs around his torso but he rears up trying to throw her off, he nearly lands on top of her but twists at the last second, bounces off her before his weight could crush her. She rolled out of his way before he could snap his teeth at her face but he made no move to, and didn’t attack when she tried to get to her feet which left her wide open.

“F*cking take her out John!” Nixon snarls angrily across the other side. He was so furious, his canines slipped from his gums and I glared at him. John looks in N ixon’s direction and hangs his head when I notice Claire beside him. Tears streamed down her face as she watched her daughter and her mate.

“It’s ok, love,” she yells at him. Everly circles around him but he hangs his head before charging at her. My breath lodges in my throat as she runs at him too and I wait for them to collide, claws, teeth and skin don’t mix. Ava screams out and runs toward the pitch just as Marcus snags his arm around Ava’s waist hauling her back.

My heart raced when suddenly John jumps clean over her, Everly spins, her feet losing traction on the gr*ss and she falls on her hip. Get up! Get up! I worry as John turns around and moves toward her, snarling and snapping his teeth. Everly backs up on her hands and feet, as he stalks toward her, she raises her foot to get ready to kick him when he pounces on her. My breath lodges in my throat and I go to run onto the arena but stop when John drops on his belly and she halts.

John tilts his head and bares his neck to her in submission while I try to figure out what just happened. I look at Marcus to see if he just witnessed the same thing. John submitted. Nixon curses and yells before storming out, shoving past his people, while Claire rushes onto the field with shorts and a towel. Everly reached forward and brushed his fur. He whimpers and Claire throws a towel over him while I gaped. What the f*ck just happened? Once the towel is over him he shifts back and is on his knees in front of her and she gets to her feet.
