Alpha’s Regret-My Luna Has A Son

Valen POV

Tatum and I went and dropped the vial off last night. Doc split it into samples before sending it off to the labs, and this morning I was taking Everly to the accountant, deciding after last night I didn’t want her on her own anywhere.

Everly had been nervous all morning about something, and I could tell she wanted to ask me something. She was weird when I got home last night, making me wonder if she argued with her father or something.

Glancing at her, I decided to ask her because her weird mood was freaking me out. “What’s wrong?” I asked as we pulled up at a set of traffic lights.

“I am worried about the accountant,” she answers.

“Why?”

“Because I wasn’t expecting you to come with me,” my brows pinch together wondering what she meant.

“It‘s that bad?”

“No. But I did something when I inherited everything, and I was hoping it remained hidden, but now you will find out,” she says.

“What did you do?”

“I got even. And also I was angry at you, so just don’t be mad. But it was a lot of money, I had this stupid idea, but it may piss you off.” She shakes her head.

“You won’t tell me?” she shakes her head. “And you told no one? And how much money did my mother leave you?”

“Zoe and Macey know. We had a good laugh about it, but I wasn’t expecting you or anyone to find out.” I was going to ask her what it was when she spoke again.

“I also wanted to ask you about the hotel. Macey said something to me last night, but I worry it may upset you also,” she says.

“Why would it upset me? It’s your hotel,” I tell her.

“Well, legally, yes. But it was your mother‘s,”

“You don’t want to continue the rebuild or sell it?” I ask, wondering what she is getting at.

My mother left it to Everly. I would never interfere with the hotel. Mum wanted her to have it.

Therefore Everly was free to do as she pleased with it. Though I hoped she wouldn’t sell it off. “No. Not sell it, sell it, I will still own it, but…” my brows furrow, and I accelerate as the light turns green.

“Just say it, Everly,” I tell her, and she sighs.

“I was planning on doing it anyway before you came back into the picture. But now you are, I thought I should ask,” she says.

“It‘s your Hotel. That doesn‘t change, so tell me what you want to do,”

“I am running out of funds for the rebuild. The insurance didn‘t cover everything, and the savings set aside for emergencies are running out. Everything else is locked down in term deposits and trust funds which I don‘t want to touch unless necessary. I know you offered to help, but..”

“But you refuse to take money from me,” I growl. We have a kid and live together, yet she never lets me pay for everything, she is always contributing even though I don‘t want or need her money. But hearing all this made me wonder how much she did have?

“I don‘t want a handout, and I don’t want to owe anyone,” she says.

“I‘m your mate,” I tell her.

“I have never needed help, and I don‘t want it, but Macey and Zoe have been pooling their money to invest,”

“You want to split the place three ways? Change ownership into three titles?” I ask, and she nods, glancing at me before she starts nervously defending herself.

“I know it was your mother‘s, and I will still own it. But Macey was telling me last night, she and Zoe were looking into buying something investment–wise to leave to their kids, and I was already going…”
