Alpha's Regret-My Luna Has A Son novel Chapter 133

Zoe POV 

I had been waiting with Marcus at Everly's place for hours since Marcus brought me here after getting the kids from school, yet Macey still hadn't returned home and I was beginning to worry, she hated leaving me alone and always stuck to her times, one thing about Macey was she was never tardy and her not being here when she said she would be only added to my anxiety.

Marcus pecks my temple as he passes me where I was cutting up vegetables.We were making the kids dinner when Taylor came over, looking out of place without her mother. I felt out place without her or Everly here.

"Can you try mum again?" she asks, pulling a stool from the counter and climbing up on it.

I glanced at Marcus, who chewed his lip before I smile and nod to her.

"Of course, sweety," I tell her, about to retrieve m y phone when Marcus slides his to me.

"Have you notified Valen?" I mind linked him, and I see him nod out of the corner of my eyes as I dial her number.

"Any word from Kalen?" I asked him via the mind link, making sure Taylor didn't overhear our conversation.

The worry on her face told me she knew something was amiss.

Her mother would rarely leave her unless she was with us, but she had said nothing of the sort to Taylor or any of us that she would be running late, and her phone goes straight to voicemail which I know she would have had on full charge.

"She might have got caught up with work," I tell Taylor, trying to reassure her.

Taylor nods sadly, going back off to Valarian and Casey, who were drawing happily at the table and discussing baby potential baby names.

Everly and Valen were still in the hospital, and I know Valen rang earlier to say he was going to collect Valarian after dinner to bring him to meet his sisters and mother.

Yet Valen said his father was unreachable too, and none of us had heard from John either, making me believe they couldn't be in the city or they would be able to be reached via mind link, but all we got was radio silence when we tried their pack tethers, so they were too far to be reached.

Opening the mind link, I tug on Valen's tether ABm# _jKL he opens it straight away.

"How is Eve?" I ask him.

"Good.She is trying to breastfeed.One baby has a tongue-tie," he tells me.

"Any news from your father?" I ask him.

"No, something is going on, and I can't reach John either, but he seems close.I can feel his tether, it came back about 20 minutes ago,"

"Everly, can't contact him?"

"No, and I am not adding extra stress to her by asking her.I know if she finds out, she will go looking for Macey, and Doc said she can't shift for at least a week”

 "Okay, well—"

My words cut off when I hear Valarian shriek.

“Pop, pop!" he calls, rushing toward the hall when I get a whiff of John's scent.

"Hang on.John is here.I will speak to you in a second," I tell Valen

"Thank god, ask him where my father is," Valen says quickly.

"Yep, will do," I tell him before cutting the link.

I move around the counter toward the hall when Valarian suddenly backs up, his head turns to me and a frightened expression moves across his face and I freeze in my tracks when I see John carrying Ava in the doors.

"Ava?" I gasp, rushing over to help him, and I start ripping toys and the kids' blanket from the couch so h e can set her down.

Marcus raced over, and I was too shocked to get my bearings, yet the relief I felt upon seeing her nearly made me sob as John set her down before looking at us.

Marcus races off, returning and bringing back a bottle of water and handing it to Ava.

"My old Pack doctor is on his way to check her over.Zoe, you need to watch Ava for me,"
