Alpha’s Regret-My Luna Has A Son by Jessicahall Chapter 40

Everly POV

Yesterday was rough, last night even tougher. I didn’t get any sleep; my entire body was aching from tossing and turning. The mate bond grew stronger each time I saw him, and the pain of denying it was getting harder to ignore. I rolled out of bed and to the sound of soft murmurs. That meant Zoe was awake as I heard her trying to wake Casey in the room beside mine. Getting to my feet, I quickly opened my door to see her in all her bedhead glory. She yawns and smiles at me.

“Morning, ” She says, turning her attention back to Casey’s open door before she does a double-take.

She stepped away from me, and Casey went to step out of her room when Zoe shoved her back inside the door and quickly shut it. Casey banged on the door.

“Just a minute, sweety,” Zoe said before gripping my arm.

“What happened? Did that bastard hurt you? I will f*cking kill him,” She whispered yelled.

” Swear Jar,” Casey called through the closed door while I tried to figure out what had got into her.

“Huh?” Zoe ushered me into the bathroom, turning me to look in the mirror, and I gasped at what I saw. Blood smeared my face, and the dark rings under my eyes looked like I got into a fight and was on the losing end of it. I reached for a washcloth and quickly washed my face, but no physical injuries were present.

“Must be a nose bleed,” I tell her, which was something that was becoming more frequent. Whenever I saw him, it seemed to me that something would get worse, headaches nosebleeds. I blink at my reflection before leaning in when I

notice the discoloration of the whites around my eyes, no longer white but blood red.

“What the f*ck?” I whispered.

“You need to figure out something soon, Everly, “

“It’s fine; I will go see a doctor, ” I tell her, though I knew it was pointless.

“No, you need to see your mate. Or mark someone,” Zoe gasps, and I stare at her in the mirror. Her eyes were watery, and as she watched me, concerned.

” It’s been four and half years, Everly, and you are already deteriorating. What will it be like in another five years? How much worse? ” I shrugged. I had no idea, but clearly, that wasn’t the answer she was after because she stalked off down the hall. The moment I stepped out of the bathroom, I heard a shriek before her voice reached my ears.

“The bodyguard right, geez, you scared the crap out me,”

Walking into the living room, Tatum was sitting up. ” You get many breaks-in to sleep on your uncomfortable sofa?” He groans, and I hear his back crack. He tosses the blanket aside before making his way to the kitchen and flicking the kettle on.

“Coffee?” He asks, giving Zoe the once over; she was wearing her silky pajamas with kittens on them and rainbow toe socks.

“Nice socks, ” Tatum smirks, and she glares at him. He was barking up the wrong tree if he was going to mock her socks, she had an entire collection of those toe socks, and in the wintertime, she even liked to wear them with her flip flops. She called them her winter editions flip flops. She growls at him, and he purrs back at her, which shuts her up quickly before she pursed her lips and narrowed her eyes at him.

“Uncle Tatum, ” Valerian screams, rushing out. Anything would think they knew each other all their lives with Valarian’s excitement. At the same time Tatum scooped him up, there was a knock on the door.

“That would be your father, kiddo, ” Tatum said, placing him down. Valerian moved to the door and swung it open before bouncing on the balls of his little feet.

“You came back; you came back, “

“I pinky promised, didn’t I,” Valen tells him, picking him up. He stepped into the apartment, and the apartment felt smaller suddenly, with two bulky

men taking up space.

Coffee, boss, ” Valen nods to Tatum before Tatum turns to me.

“Coffee, what happened to your eyes?” He says, shoving past the table and knocking a chair over.

“Allergies, ” I stated as he gripped my face with his huge sausage fingers. Zoe scoffs beside me, and he glances at her before raising an eyebrow at me when I swat his hands away. Valen comes over and grips my face, and I jerk away from his tingling touch.

Allergies? ” He questions when Valarian suddenly speaks against me.

“Mum gets them all the time, and nose bleeds. She gets a lot of nosebleeds, ” Valerian says, and I press my lips in a line. Valen looks at me, and his lips part before he nods and looks at Valarian.

“Well, mummy needs to see a doctor. I will take her, ” He tells Valarian, and I went to object when Zoe adds her two cents worth.

“Good idea, she sees doctor Mary at the rogue center, ” Zoe says, folding her arms across her chest, and I noticed Tatum’s eyes dart to her cleavage, and I glare at her.

“My mate is not going to a rogue center,” Valen states before realizing what he said to Zoe, who is also a rogue.

“And why is that?” She says, dropping her hands to her waist and popping her hip. Oh, careful, Valen, you may just get into an argument you can’t win with her.

“Good enough for rogues. It should be good enough for everybody, or are you admitting that this City is discriminative?” She says with a glare.

Valen says nothing, just turns away from her, choosing not to answer. Good thing, too, because Zoe was a firecracker before her morning coffee.
