Alpha’s Regret-My Luna Has A Son by Jessicahall Chapter 47
“Yes, but it can’t get out at the moment, now don’t change the subject. What do you need?”
“They are kicking him out unless he is a paying patient. They said they haven’t got the beds for a rogue, ” She answers.
Bullshit, it’s only at half capacity, ” Valen growls behind me. Jenny looks down.
“It’s because his Rogue Valen, no one helps rogues, you should have seen us getting this place running. We couldn’t even get a handyman in without blackmailing them, ” I tell him and he seemed appalled at my words. Considering who his father was, he didn’t seem to hold the same views of rogues, well, at least not as strongly.
“How much?” I ask her, knowing how hard she tried to get him in there.
311000, ” She breathes before rubbing both hands down her face.
“Use the funds. It’s what it is for. When he gets out, he can come work at the hotel for a bit,” I tell her.
Knowing that was a big chunk out of the emergency rogue funds, not that anyone would complain, it’s what it is for.
” Don’t worry about it. I will handle it, ” Valen says behind me.
“It’s fine, Valen. We have the money here, “
“I don’t care about the money. They gave him a place
there. If he is doing well and not causing trouble, they have no reason to kick him out, that place relies heavily on donations and tax payer’s money. I’m assuming it’s the main hospital since rogues can’t use the private ones, ” She nods.
“I will take care of it, if not. I will place him in one of the private ones if they kick up a stink, but they won’t. My pack funds half of that hospital, ” Valen tells her with a shrug.
” But I will need his information, ” Valen tells her, and she looks around her desk before grabbing a sticky note and writing his name and dob on it and address. She hands it to him, and Valen folds it placing it in his pocket.
“Are you sure, we a have fund for this sort of stuff?”
I tell him.
“Positive, but I would like to know more about this fund you have for your employees, ” he answers.
“Thank you, Alpha,” Jenny nods, and I see her shoulders relax like a tonne of weight had just been lifted off her shoulders.
” Go home, Jenny, rest,” I tell her, but she shakes her head.
“I am good until you find someone to take over, ” She says just as Tatum walks in. The bell sounds, and I glance over at the door.
“Ah, just the man I want to see, ” Valen says, and Tatum raises an eyebrow at him.
“Ah, yeah. Didn’t you want me to keep watch again?” Tatum asks him, unsure.
“Nope, change of plans, I will tonight, but I have another job for you, ” He motions toward the desk.
“You want me to move it?” Tatum asks, confused. “Nope. I want you to man it. Everly is down a staff member, “
“What?” Tatum asks before staring at Jenny. “Yeah, I don’t think that is a good idea, “
“Are you saying I can’t answer some phones and work the front desk?” Tatum asks like I just insulted his intelligence.
“It’s more than answering phones,” I tell him.
” Can’t be that hard,” Tatum says, walking around the desk. Jenny looks up at him wide-eyed before looking at me.
“See, he can handle it,” Valen says. Why could I tell this was a bad idea. I pinch the bridge of my nose and shake my head.
“Valen, he is a security guard, not a secretary, ” I explain.
“See, killed two birds with one stone, he is now guard and can do whatever Jenny was doing,”
“This is a bad idea; I am sure I can find someone else, “Nonsense, Jenny will show him, and you can show me these photos,” Valen says, nudging me toward my office out the back. I glance at Jenny, and she shrugs before getting up. Tatum takes her seat, and she starts explaining things to him and how to use the different phones.
With a heavy sigh, I give in, though he would definitely be the most buff secretary we have had manning the counter. He looked out of place behind the desk with its pink stationery.
Unlocking my office door, I step in and move to one of the bookcases grabbing down the Hotel photo album. I sit at my desk, and Valen comes over to stand beside me.
Opening the front page, there was an old black and white photo of Valarie’s parents from when they owned it. I pull it out and pass it to him. In the photo were a man and a woman holding a baby, which Valarie said was her.
“That doesn’t look too bad?” Valen states and I snort before flicking through to when I first came here and the photos Zoe and I took. I passed them to him before also grabbing one out Macey’s brother took of us facing the ruined hotel with our backs to the camera. All four of us standing out the front. Valarie was also in it, cigarette between her fingers at she looked at the rundown place. I hand it to him.
“This the woman?” He asks, and I nod. “And Macey, Zoe,” he says.
