Valen POV

Everly thought she could just dismiss me and I would let her; she was wrong. I get what I want, and I want Everly. I refuse to be mated to some girl out of responsibility when I had a perfectly good but unwilling mate. My father would choke on his spit if he knew she was rogue, but I didn’t care. If she is my bond, then I trusted the Moon Goddess; she would not give me faulty one, Everly would be mine. I would make sure of that, everyone has a breaking point, and I will find hers.

I sat across the road with a smug look on my face eager to see the look on hers and I watched the tow truck pull up that I organized this morning. I already sent the health and safety inspector in and could see his car in the parking lot from where I stood.

Her truck was just an added annoyance. The beeping of the reversing truck instantly alerts staff something is going on, and I see Zoe Everly’s little friend rush out when she notices it backing up to the truck with the Hotel’s logo on it. Everly believes she can ignore the Mate bond; well, I will make sure she sees me every turn she makes.

Zoe waves her arms frantically at the driver. One of my men, Dwayne, ignores her as he backs up. The burly-looking man steps out of the cab and stops next to her, looking down at Zoe. I could just make out her telling him to leave that he was on private property.

“No can do love, this car has been ordered to be impounded for defects, ” He tells her, and I get out leaning on the hood of my car. The tow truck driver spotting me gives me a thumbs up, and I nod for him to continue, and he starts hooking the old thing up.

It didn’t take long before Zoe returned with a frustrated Everly in toe. She shoves the man as he starts hoisting her car onto the bed of his truck.

Dwayne looked at her shocked, and honestly, so was I. Not that she moved him. Dwayne remained precisely where he was, and she may as well have been a child pushing on a brick wall as she stood beside him.

Everly tries to snatch the contro11er from his hand, but he was holding it too high for her to reach. I found the pure rage on her face funny, and I couldn’t help but laugh, and that is how she spots me.

Her grey-blue eyes pin me where I stand before her lips press into a line and her hands ball into fists, she storms over to me in a raging fit, and I fold my arms across my chest just before she stops in front me.

I found her pint-size rage entertaining; her tiny body was no threat to me. Everly barely came up to my chin and had to turn her face up to look up at me. I smirk back at her, her eyes practically spitting fireballs at me.

Good thing she isn’t a witch. She definitely would have cursed me with the look she gave me. She could ignore me all she wants, but Everly can’t overlook in y influence in this City; she will give in.

“What the hell are you doing?” She demands, poking me in the chest with her finger. I snatch her hand, holding it in mine, and she tries to rip it free. Her

strength is nothing compared to mine, and something about that bothered me. What if someone grabbed her who wasn’t me?

It was clear she would never be able to fight them off. She growls at me, and I realize how non-existent her aura is, like she didn’t have one. Rogues had auras too, weaker and nothing in comparison to a pack wolf, but she had none, her growl meek, and if it wasn’t for the look of anger on her face, it might as well have been a purr.

“Let go, and make him stop, “

“Let me mark you, and I will,” I tell her, and she snarls at me, her canines slipping from her gums.

“Go for it, bite away; I don’t care if you want to mark me first. Either way, you will be mine, “

“You are bloody infuriating, this won’t win you any brownie points, ” Everly snarls, and I tug her closer before spinning and pressing her against the hood of my car.
