Alpha's Regret-My Luna Has A Son novel Chapter 100

Chapter 100

Everly Pov

The arena was basically just an old football stadium that no one used anymore besides for city functions. The building was huge and well looked after but it was rare for the entire city to participate in the functions, most packs tended to stick to themselves and besides the annual alpha meeting you rarely caught everyone in the same place. But this challenge was all through the media so I wasn’t shocked to see this place packed to the brim, everyone crammed in like sardines in a can. Nervousness crept in as we pulled in next to the huge entrance.

People walking in and I felt giddy seeing rogues entering a place that was otherwise forbidden to them. Valen’s men made sure they had entry through his tunnel entrance. Macey and Zoe stood by the doors next to Tatum and Marcus. Macey was the only one out of us that was still rogue and despite the offers she refused, saying she was happy with her status.

Although, I had a funny feeling with Tatum’s infatuation with her it would only be a matter of time. Valen would take and accept all the rogues without asking but it was more then that, I may be pack, Zoe pack, but we were all rogue, status is given but at heart, we clawed out from the rubble like the rest of them, bled beside them and took on society exactly the same.

No my village didnt need a pack, this city should be pack, no names, no labels, no designation. One pack is how it was supposed to be and it should be, everyone free, and free to choose and free to live. That was what we wanted, just our freedoms, nothing more and nothing less.

Valen grips my knee as Valarian undoes his seatbelt when he sees Taylor and Casey, Casey waving a snow cone in the air for him. He jumps out and runs over to her, his had no color, just ice, the girls knew him too well. Valen shakes his head at him and chuckles before looking over at me.

“Are you sure you wouldn’t be more comfortable in shorts, you will ruin those pants shifting in them. I brought you a set in case you changed your mind,” Valen says while glancing down at my yoga pants. I shake my head. I wouldn’t be shifting, it would risk too much, my body would have to change too much.

“No, I’m hoping he submits in first half,”

“You realize how hard that is, we are instinctual, and you know how these things go, after 10 minutes and the drill goes off everyone shifts, so unless you got some moves I don’t know, you are gonna have to shift, Love,” I swallowed.

He was right. No one likes a challenge going on too long, after ten minutes the drill will go off. That was brought in decades before I was born after a challenge lasted three days while both of them circled each other looking for an opening. I laugh at that thought, stuff that, best to get it over with. Then again, I also understood it. What parent wants to fight their child and vice versa.

Are you afraid to show your wolf?” Valen asks and I stare at him but he looks away. I tilt my head to look at him.

“What is that supposed to mean?”

“Nothing, I just know you are self-conscious about how small yours is, though when the rogue attack happened you were a fair bit bigger, is that why you never wanted to train in your wolf at home,”

“Well, you would be self conscious too if you looked like someone’s pet dog and not a werewolf,” I tell him.

“You’re not that small,” he says and I shrug and open m y door. Zoe and Macey are waiting for me by the entrance and I need them to keep calm, right now. We walk through the dark tunnel and come out the other end walking along the boundary line. I could see Nixon and his pack watching.

Slasher pack was also here but Nixon and dad stood on the other side of the m*ssive ring that is etched into the gr*ss with white paint. We walk over to our place when I feel my head tugged back by my ponytail.

Valen’s hand wraps around it and pulls me to stop, turning me. His arm wraps around my waist pulling me against him and he tips my head back. H is lips cover mine in a heated kiss that has my cheeks burning with his very public display.

“Valen!” I mumbled against his lips, and he chuckled. He was still laughing when he let me go. He tugs me along and Kalen rushes in quickly.

There was a park at the other end of the arena which is where he is taking the children to play so they don’t have to watch. They could because I was training at their age, however, a challenge was vastly different: it wasn’t mucking around, it was blood, claws, teeth and fur. Messy and terrifying so when Valarian demanded he wanted to come, we organized for Kalen to watch them at the park and bring them over after.

“How are you, are you still set to leave tomorrow?” Valen asks his father. Kalen stops and pecks my cheek and hugs his son.

“Yep, leaving at 7am,” Kalen says and Valen nods. “Where are you going?” I ask him.

“To pick up some supplies that got lost in transit for the hotel,” Kalen says with a shrug. Kalen quickly hugs me. “Knock his *ss out, love. Now where are these munchkins of mine,” Kalen says looking around for the kids. He points off toward the girls and waves before rubbing his hands together.

He walks off toward them. “Who wants to race Pop to the park over there.” he says, pointing off toward the other end. The three kids look where he points before running off and Kalen chases them. Valen laughs at his father who could easily outrun them but lets them win.

Once they are gone, I turn around to face the pit and the place falls silent when my father steps over the barrier and removes his shirt, handing it to my mother. I suck in a breath and Valen grips my shoulders giving them a squeeze.

“Breathe, you got this,” he says, yet my eyes were on my father, images of training with him when I was kid

skipped through my head. When I regarded him as my hero, but now I was no longer a little girl, he was no longer larger than life, but despite that his size and physique remained the same.
