Alpha’s Regret-My Luna Has A Son

Chapter 82 – Everly POV 

Hours passed, and dinner was going cold while I waited for Valen and Valerian. Not that I made anything special; I was too tired and wanted to sleep. So I only made spaghetti bolognese.

However, Valen said he would be home before dinner, and dinner was cooked two hours ago. Glancing at the clock, it was 730 PM, and the storm outside had intensified. Lightning streaked across the gloomy sky, not one star in sight as the clouds blocked out even the moon. Walking back into the living room, I snatched my phone off the coffee table and redialed his number. The phone didn’t even ring; it went straight to voicemail.

Waiting another 10 minutes, I picked up my phone again to call when it began ringing in my hand. A private number came through, and I sighed. Finally, he thought to ring back. Only when I answered I wasn’t expecting the feminine voice I heard.

“Hello, is this Everly’s phone?” comes my mother’s voice. Shocked, I pull the phone from my ear to look at the screen before placing it back.

“Mum?” I asked.

“Oh, thank God, I thought your receptionist gave me another wrong number,” she says. I didn’t know what t o say. It was one thing seeing her on the day of the Alpha meeting, but I found myself suddenly lost for words on the phone. I no longer knew how to speak to the woman who gave birth to me. So much had changed, and I had changed. My family were suddenly strangers to me, and I no longer identified myself with them anymore.

“Are you there?” she asks.

“Ah, yes, sorry. Why are you calling?” I blurted, without thinking. She had never rung before, not even when she promised to when I turned up on her doorstep that stormy night. So many broken promises, our relationship now non-existent.

“I um. I wanted to check on you after the incident with the rogues. Your father tried to see, but your mate wouldn’t let him in.”

“Well, you could have visited; he let Ava in,” I tell her, and she falls quiet. I found it hard to make chit-chat with her. The silence as we tried to think of what to say was awkward.

“So, how have you been?” she asks, and I bite my lip, hesitant to answer. Did she genuinely care? Something bothered me with how she rang out of the blue.

“Yeah, good, waiting for Valen and Valarian to get home,” I tell her.

“He looks so much like his father,” she says, and I nod, moving into the kitchen and covering their dinners.

“So, ah, how is Ava?” | ask, trying to divert the conversation.

“Ava is Ava. She is being difficult.”

“And why is that?”

“Because she wants to go away to university, she doesn’t want to take over the pack,” My mother says.

“Well, find someone else to take over then,” I tell her, looking at the clock and the minutes ticking by. I was starting to worry that something had happened because I had heard no word. Placing the phone on the loudspeaker, I searched for Valarian’s tracking device in his watch…

“It’s not that simple, and you know that,” she answers.
