Alpha's Regret-My Luna Has A Son novel Chapter 128

Everly POV 

Something was going on with Macey and Kalen.

They had been joined at each other's hip for the last two days.

And it was always the same excuse, too.

They were dealing with the hotel renovations.

Yet as Kalen left this morning, I couldn't help but wonder because of the way Macey hung up abruptly on whomever she was talking to when I came out to make something to eat.

"Where are the kids?" I ask her as she starts packing belongings into her bag and why was she so dressed up? 

"Kalen and John dropped them to school," she answers with a shrug, trying to push me back toward the room.

"Go lay down, you’re on bed rest.I will bring your breakfast in."

"And Valen?" I ask her not hearing him get up this morning, usually he wakes me.

"Ah something about meeting the council elders with Marcus before they pick up Zoe," Macey answers as she shuffles me down the hall to my room.

Their constant fussing was driving me insane.

"Zoe is coming home?" I ask, feeling relieved.

She could have come home yesterday, but they kept her a n extra night so she could meet with a councilor this morning.

"Yep, and I think everyone is moving to the main packhouse today.Valen said something about organizing it," Macey says as I climb back into bed.

I stare at her as I pull my blankets back up and notice she is all dressed up, which I thought was odd.She was even wearing makeup.

"Where are you going? To see Tatum?" I ask her.

She chews her lip.

"Um, yeah, I was going to try to patch things up with him.Hopefully, he is in a better mood today." she says, yet her jitteriness made me nervous.

I couldn't explain why I felt that way but she seemed off.

She had for the last two days and with everything going on, it was understandable, but for her to suddenly hang around Kalen and my father? Two men, who for years she despised and now it was like they were all best buddies, it had me rattled.

She walks off, returning with a tray of tea and toast.

"Sorry, Valen," she sighs.

It was fine, I would wait for her to leave my own coffee so she didn't get in trouble.

She leans down and gives me a kiss on the cheek as I pluck a piece of toast off the tray.

"You know I love you, right? You and Zoe," Macey says with a shake of her head.

"I would do anything for you, without question or consequence.You girls are my family, always have been always will be.And Taylor and I wouldn't be where we are if it wasn't for you both," she says.

My brows furrow in confusion and I smile sadly feeling the same way about her.Yet it struck me as odd.

Macey wasn't one to declare her love or show her emotions.She gives me a quick kiss before stopping b y the door.

"I love you," she says.

"I love you too.Are you sure everything is okay?" I ask her around my mouthful of jam toast.

"Yes, I am fine.I will see you later," she says, then walks off.

Taking another bite of my toast, I shake my head at her strange behavior.I would be sitting her down when she gets home and finding out what is going on with her.

Maybe I will ring Tatum later and tell him to pull his head in or get Valen to do it.

For the most part, my day was as boring as every other day I spent in this place.

Yet by lunchtime I was starving again and decided after dragging myself out o f the shower that I would make something to eat.I was craving cucumbers and peanut butter.

My mouth watering at the thought of devouring the strange concoction.I slip my robe on, deciding against clothes, knowing I would be uncomfortable and itchy.

Besides, no one was home yet, which had m e confused.

Kalen or Dad were usually back by now.

Valen would be fuming if he knew I was home by myself, yet I wasn’t going to ring him and snitch on them; I was enjoying the peace and quiet.I didn’t feel like being stared at or criticized for my weird food cravings, and that means I can sneak more coffee.

Wandering out to the living room, however, the devil himself calls, his ringtone blaring loudly from the bedroom.

I waddle my fat ass back to the room, puffing and panting as I barely make it to my phone before it rings out.

Snatching it off the dresser, I put it to my ear.
