Alpha’s Regret-My Luna Has A Son by Jessicahall Chapter 46
The drive back was quiet however, not awkward, just a comfortable silence. I believe me marking him suddenly made everything more real. It was, in a sense, easy to play off that he is my mate, easier to deny our bond or our weak one anyway. Now though, people would find out, the entire City would realize Valen had been marked, the paparazzi would go berserk, and I now I worried what that meant for Valarian. I could handle the drama’s the media would portray.
Valarian was a child and I knew once it was out, a lot of people would have something to say about it.
Also, I could already imagine the rumors. People would believe. That he knocked up some rogue whore and was forced to take me as his mate, the things I could see them saying about me in papers would sting me but could damage my son. I was used to negativity, yet no child should have to deal with that.
“I think we should move the Alpha meeting, ” I whispered. I hated the idea of confronting my father, yet I knew it would be worse if he found out via a news article. I knew I should care what he believed after everything. I was an adult now, and he no longer controlled my life, but for some reason, it nagged at me. Some part believing that he shouldn’t find out through a news outlet.
“You want to push it back? ” Valen asks. I shake my head.
“Move it forward. Once the media gets their hands on this story, it will blow up; it should be announced to stop it hurting Valarian.”
“Anyone says anything about our son Everly, and they won’t have a city to live in,”
“You can’t just kick people out of City; that is not the answer, Valen, and that is not what I am worried about,”
“Then what are you worried about?”
“Worried about what version of our strange… whatever.” I sigh, rubbing my temples before looking at him.
“They are going to say some horrible shit about you being with a rogue whore, Valarian has only just found about you, well about who you are, and I worry that what they say about both of us will have an impact on him,”
“Then I tell them the truth, simple,”
“It’s not that simple. You have a reputation to uphold in this City Valen, one that holds power,”
“I don’t care about my reputation Everly, they can say what they want about me, they do anyway. But If you think I am going to let you take the fall for all it, you are mistaken,”
“They will say I am gold digger, someone who trapped you, probably even say Valarian isn’t yours,”
“That they can’t say, you can tell by his aura, plus DNA will shut them up,”
“My father is going to lose his mid,” I mutter, shaking my head.
“Surprisingly, my father took it pretty well, ” Valen adds, making me think of Kalen and my meeting with him earlier, “
“I saw your father earlier today, ” I admit looking back out the window.
“Did he threaten you if he did tell me? I will handle it,” Valen says.
“You would really go against your father for a rogue?
“For you and Valarian, I would go against the entire world if needed, ” Valen says, and I chew my lip. I could feel he meant what he said. Feeling him made his words hold more meaning and I didn’t know what to think about him. He could lie through words, but not through the bond, so to feel that he meant exactly what he said kind of threw me off.
“He didn’t threaten me. He told me to let you mark me,” He chuckles.
“Yeah, he is a good father, strict, but he means well, mostly, “
“Is that why he tried to get you to marry my sister, “
“No, idea what he meant by that. He has hated your father for decades. It makes no sense to me, ” Valen admits, and I could feel his worry through the bond, making me realize he too noticed his father’s change in attitude.
“Are you worried about your father finding out?” Valen asks as we pull into the hotel parking space. He stops the car.
“Yes, and no. I will be relieved I don’t have to keep it a secret, but also scared of everyone’s reaction, “
“Why didn’t you just tell him, ” I raise an eyebrow at him and he laughs.
“Yeah, that was a dumb question, ” he adds.
“Do you think he would have kicked you out if he knew?”
“I have thought of that actually, thought about telling him, especially once I found out you were in fact, my mate,”
“Then why didn’t you. Would have saved you being homeless, “
