I had every intention of coming over here and dragging my son out and beating this stupid man senseless, though I probably would have needed help to do such a thing, and it all backfired.

“Stay, I will sleep on the couch,” Valen says gripping my arm.

“You would sleep on your own couch?” I scoff.

“Wouldn’t be the first time. Also, pretty sure I have passed out on the floor more times than I count,” he says.

“No, I have to go see Zoe anyway.”

“Call her and stay. The Hotel will survive without you for one night,”

“I don’t even have clothes here,”

 

“I own a washing machine and dryer; I also know how to use them,”

“Ha, very funny. You’re probably a better cleaner than I am with your OCD. But I don’t think that is a good idea, I can’t,” I sighed, rubbing my temples.

 
 

Since when did my life become so complicated ? I had so much going on. The Alpha meeting was in a few days. My employees were missing, the rest sick. Now the drama with Casey’s father, and now I had to fight my damn bond every second the day. I felt like my grasp on control was slowly slipping. Everything is being thrown out of wack.

“I don’t want to confuse Valarian more than he already is,”

”What do you mean, we are about to announce to the City we are mates Everly? How would you being here confuse him,” he asks, leading me out of the room and into the hall. He shuts Valarian’s door before stopping to look at me. How does he not get it?

“Yes, exactly announcing we are mates, but that’s it. I don’t want him thinking we are suddenly a family like everyone else. It is different,”

“You are making this different. To me, it is straightforward. I am yours, and you are mine. That’s what mates are, Everly. We are supposed to be together, so why do you keep bloody fighting it?” I don’t bother answering. Instead, I go look for Marcus.

“I sent him home,” Valen calls out behind me. “You sent him home?”

“Yes, because I hoped you would stay,”

“I don’t want to stay, Valen. I don’t know how I can make it much clearer,”

“You know what your issue is. You are so used to being in control. You call me OCD, and yet have you looked at yourself?”
