Alpha’s Regret-My Luna Has A Son

Everly POV

I had been trying to avoid the conversation all night, but Valarian followed me around the Hotel like a bad smell, and as we went to the apartment, I had no choice but to face the pint-sized Alpha. I never thought I would fear my son, but his aura was in full force. All afternoon people had been glancing at him as he followed me around the Hotel while I worked. I could see their curiosity, and this afternoon there was no way I could deny what he was, that he was an Alpha child.

Even Zoe had been wary around him, and as soon as we finished for the day, she practically bolted to bathe Casey, leaving me with my fuming son.

Valarian slams the door as he walks in after me, the bang is loud, and he never acted out this way, but at least he held his tongue while I worked because I could tell he was angry. I stepped out of my shoes, and I could feel his gaze watching me, wanting answers I wasn’t sure I could give him but also knew I couldn’t avoid for much longer. The officer had said too much in front of him.

“You lied to me,” Valerian states as I flick the kettle on. I grab two mugs down from the cupboard, intending to make him hot chocolate, but he smacks my hands as I go to set the mugs on the counter, the glass shattering on the ground at my feet. I press my lips together at his acting out. I know he is mad, but there was no need for that.

“Enough, ” I snap at him, and he glares at me.

“You lied,” he says before growling and startling me. “I did not lie; I just didn’t tell you the whole truth, “

“You said my father wasn’t your mate. You said he didn’t live in this city,”

” I never said that; you just assumed he didn’t live here, and I simply let you believe you were correct, “

“I hate you,” Valarian snarls at me, tears burning his eyes, and guilt runs through me. His words twisted my stomach painfully.

“Valarian, you don’t understand. It isn’t safe for you to know him,”

“Why? I hate that everyone says you are a rogue- whore. That everyone treats us differently. I see the way people look at you because we aren’t part of a pack because you don’t have a mate,” Valerian says.

“We don’t need him, I don’t need him, we do fine on our own, ”  I try  to tell him while reaching  for him.

“You may not want him as a mate, but I want my dad. I don’t want to be the rogue-whores son, I don’t want to be treated the way everyone treats you, I want my dad,” Valarian cries.

Pain radiates through my chest at his words, the rogue -whores-son. He hated how people saw me, saw him, and that realization hurt more than anything else he had said. It was one thing for an adult to be embarrassed but for him to be embarrassed for what I am called. For the first time in a long time, I was ashamed of the title bestowed on me. I rub a hand down my face trying to find a way to explain.

“Well, you can’t have him, he”

“Does he know about me?” Valerian cuts me off, and I look at him. His bottom lip quivers, and a tear escapes and rolls down his cheek, I reach for him again, but he steps away from me.

“Does my dad know I exist?” he asks again. “As I said, Valarian, it isn’t safe, “

” For you or for me? ” he demands. This boy was so much more intelligent than I gave him credit for, more observant than I gave him credit for. He was far too advanced than he should be for a child of his age.

“He doesn’t, does he? Was everything you said a lie? What about your family?” I sigh.
