Alpha’s Regret-My Luna Has A Son Chapter 72
Valen POV
Few Hours Earlier
Waking up, my thoughts were all over the place. Everly was still asleep beside me, but I didn’t want to wake her. Rolling over I spotted the letter from my mother. The storage shed was a real eye-opener for me. The struggles she faced. My father growing up, had never once said a bad word about her, only that she was Omega and he loved her.
He never mentioned she refused to conform to our way of life; he never told me she was one of the original rogues this land was taken from.
Going through the storage locker, I was in there for hours. This entire City belonged to her family. In search of a better future for their daughter. My grandparents sold pieces of it off, selling it to the different packs that now resided here under the promise that it would create a better future for their daughter, my mother.
Only it did the opposite, and they were thrust into the middle of a turf war over the very turf they owned. Once theirs only to be turned into what it is today. Two generations of fighters. My grandparents wanted the City to remain free, free for those to live without the sanctions the packs brought forth. Instead, the City turned into a prison, one ruled by the packs that brought the land out, promising to maintain my grandparents’ way of life, only they didn’t.
Instead, they stripped them from it. Looking at Everly, it was a similar circumstance, stripped bare of everything she thought she would have only to end up placed within the sanctions of the packs that surrounded us. A future set to repeat because of greed and blindness to what they were forcing on those less fonunate to endure.
My own son was forced to watch his mother fight and claw her way to the top. My mother was remarkable in her fight to bring freedom back and looking at Everly, I now understood why she fought the bond the way she did.
Everly has all the makings of an excellent Luna. However, my father messed up, believing my mother would harm his reputation and break the pack alliances. He was wrong; she would have brought about change, and she would have been unstoppable force like Everly would be with me by her side.
Now, I understand what all the fuss was about. All the trepidation and fight. Everly wasn’t just fighting for the rogues, for my mother or herself; she was fighting for the future, for our son. Picking up my mother’s letter, I opened it and pulled it from the envelope finally finding the courage to read it.
*******************
For my son,
If you are reading this, it means my time has come and gone. I know you must have some questions, pent-up anger towards your father, just know I forgave him. As time passed, and so did the years I watched you grow from the shadows, and he did a pretty good job, you turned out alright, turned into the Alpha in which you were intended to be.
Years I longed to ho Id you, the only way I could was in my heart, but know, I did try. I fought for you even if it was
fro m the sidelines, I always watched, and I held onto the hope I would meet you in person again o ne day. However, now obviously, it won’t be in this lifetime. Don’t feel bad for me, don’t feel sad. So with that, I leave you my most incredible gift of all.
Your Luna and your son. I may not have had the gift to raise you, but I have watched her grow, watched her fight, and she will. Watched her become a mother to your son, my grandson. Go easy on her; she has a lot of anger towards not just you but the system in which we all live.
She will fight when the time comes, and I just hope it’s by your side and not against you. I’m sorry, son, she will win. Tell that girl she can’t, and she will prove you wrong. You don’t want to go to war with her, you could try to tear everything from her, but it won’t work. War burns bridges while that woman builds them, just like my hotel.
I had lost all hope until she wandered onto my doorstep. I recognized Valarian the moment I laid eyes on him. He reminded me so much of you, and it was like I was given a second chance at the one thing I missed with you. She gave me drive and reason to keep fighting. When I met Everly and our sweet boy Valarian, I was on borrowed time.
Waiting for my life to end, yet finding them, I invited them in and gave them a place to stay.
In return, I not only gained a grandson, but a daughter. For years, this place resembled how my life felt, broken and hopeless. They gave me life, gave me back my home and my fight. So, in turn, I gave her everything, everything I
owned. I would say your father wasn’t too pleased with that knowledge, but he would understand why in time.
