Everly POV

We had just pulled out of the Hotel to go pick the kids up from school; I had managed to find an old photo on the internet today of Alpha Valen when he was a teenager. I hope that would satisfy Valarian’s burning curiosity, and the questions he has about his father.

I had no idea what to tell him about his father being my mate or if I should tell him that part; he would question me more, so I was hoping to find a way around that one. Sirens go off behind us just as Zoe pulls onto the road, and she curses under her breath, and glances in the rearview mirror.

Zoe’s brows furrow, and she pulls over onto the side of the road. She rummages for her registration papers from the glove box nearly spilling the contents on the floor as she dug for her insurance and registration documents. The officer knocks on the window, and she winds it down.

“Afternoon, Ladies,“ He says. Zoe looked at him like a dear in headlights, I watched her hands tremble nervously. Her sudden fear confused me.

“Afternoon, officer,“ I answer when she says nothing and only stares at the man. I give him a brief wave.

“License and registration, “ He asks holding his hand out for the documents in Zoe’s hand. Zoe fumbles and I raise an eyebrow at her. Why was she so nervous?

“Here, sir, “ She stammers, passing her documentation to him. He looks it over briefly and hands it back to her.

“I am afraid I have to book you for?“ He pauses, walking around the car before kneeling in front of her Volkswagon and looking under it. He gets up walking around to my side, checking the exterior of the car.

“Bald tires,“ He states. I raise an eyebrow before I grit my teeth. F*cking Valen, it had to be him. This cop didn’t even look like he knew why he was pulling us over and it was evident he was looking for any reason to target us.

“They’re brand new, “ Zoe argues. The officer shrugs and starts writing her a defect notice when Macey suddenly pulls up behind us.

“Friend of yours?“ he asks, and I look over the back seat to see her getting out of her car.
