Chapter 94 Everly POV Four Days Later We held the funerals yesterday , and today I couldn’t cope with work , so I started the mural at the homeless shelter . I designed the sign and sent it off last night to my manufacturer . So when I walked into work to find everything handled and for once the sky showed no sign of rain , I got a head start on the mural on either side of the door leading into the old school . I had two days until the council meeting , and two days after that ,
I had the challenge for my father’s pack . I was a little nervous about exactly what it was I was getting myself into with his pack , especially if it was bankrupt like Ava believed . Yet if I could restore a hotel to its former glory , I had no doubts I could dig them out of the hole my father dug . I forgot how much I enjoy drawing and painting , though the old rendered brickwork was making it a bitch to stencil out the design with my paintbrush . I had done the background white like a canvas , though standing on a ladder while it was windy wasn’t ideal . Hearing a car pull up along the road behind me , I glance over m y shoulder to see Valen’s car .
He hops out , walking over to me . ” Everly , the wind is hectic today . Get down before you fall off , ” Valen scolds , coming over and holding the ladder . I shake my head but climb down , unclipping the harness as I reach each step on the ladder . ” I have a harness , ” I tell him , but he shakes his head . ” Harness won’t do much if that unhooks from up top . It’s only hooked to the guttering . That’s not the sturdiest thing , especially those old crumbling ones . It would be best if you had told me you were doing such a gigantic mural ; I would have had a cherry picker brought over . Don’t use the ladder . I will get one sent over tomorrow , ” Valen scolds , and I shake my head . He had a point , though , and the site supervisor also gave me a lecture about the same thing , making me wonder if he called Valen . ” The site supervisor called you , didn’t he ?
” I teH Valen , and he smirks . ” Of course , ” he says , and I roll my eyes . ” I thought you had your meeting today with your father over pack business ? ” His eyes darken slightly , and he sighs . ” I sent my accountant instead , ” he says while bending down to help pick up my supplies . I pack them into a box and put them in the cleaning closet just inside the school doors . ” You can’t just avoid your father , ” I tell him , following him out to his car . ” Unless it has something to do about Valarian , I don’t want to hear it , ” Valen growls , opening the driver’s door . ” Valen , he is your father , and he is a wonderful dad , ” I tell him . ” He lied to me , ‘ ” Valen states . I sigh , climbing into the car . ” Your mother wouldn’t want you to toss your father away .
He fucked up , but he is trying to make up for it . The petition got pushed through by him . He drops everything he is doing whenever we need his help with Valarian . ” I tell him , and he starts the car , nodding his head . We head to school to pick Valarian up . When the bell rang , he came running out excitedly , jumping up and down to show the painting he had done
. ” Wow ! ” Valen says , looking at it . Casey came over to show us her painting , which was covered with glitter and swirling scribble . Valerian , however , was all straight lines of paint that looked like he used a ruler to make sure he didn’t go out of the lines . I smiled down at him , and he grabbed his father’s hand as we crossed the road to the car . Once in the car , we headed home while listening to the radio talking about the upcoming council meeting . My attention turned to the news reporter as her nasally voice spoke about a n upcoming war . ” It appears war is brewing between Alpha Nixon and Alpha Valen . Alpha Nixon was spotted today leaving the council chambers in a rage after learning Alpha Valen’s mate , Everly Summer’s , the infamous disgraced daughter of Alpha John from Shadow Pack , petitioned to have the laws involving the unfair treatment of rogues changed . Alpha Nixon
refused to speak to the media today after h e was spotted in an argument with Alpha John just in the front of the council chambers before reversing into Alpha John’s car . It appears tensions among the packs are high , and in the next few weeks , we will either see change within the city o r war between packs , ” Valen turns the radio off , glancing at me , and I sigh . Great , the media was going to blow this right up , and if there wasn’t a war , they would ensure one starts with the hysteria they would cause . ” Would the City really go to war over mum’s petition ? ” Valarian asks , and Valen glances in the mirror at him .
” Hopefully not , but unfortunately , people don’t like change . Greed and entitlement start a lot of issues , ” Valen tells him . ” But Rogues have nothing . They aren’t even allowed to own housing ? ” Valarian says . ” And that is why your mother is petitioning to have the laws changed . ” ” ” So , Alpha Nixon wants to take more from the rogues when they already have
nothing . What’s left to take ? ” Valarian asks . ” Their lives , that is all that’s left , and people like Nixon think they deserve to play God and dictate how people should live and what laws they should live by , ” I answered with a sigh . ” But isn’t your dad on his side ? ” ” He is on the wrong side , ” I agreed . ” Does that upset you ? ” Valarian asks , and I look at him over my shoulder . ” No , because that shows his character , not mine , ” I tell him . ” But you’re his daughter ? ” ” Yes , that’s true , but I am not my father o r my mother . I am my own person , just like you are your own person , ” I tell him . ” So I shouldn’t be like you or dad when I a m older ? ” he asks . ” No. Strive to be better , surpass us . One day be a better Alpha than me , ” Valen says . ” What if I don’t want to be an Alpha ? ” Valarian asks .
” Then I will find someone else to take over the pack , ” ” What if I want to be Luna like Mum ? ” Valarian asks . ” Then you will be Luna Valarian , ” Valen chuckles . ” Doesn’t sound very cool , no offense , mum . I think I will stick with Alpha Valarian , ” Valarian says , and Valen snickers . ” What ? The Luna is more important than the Alpha , ” Valarian says .. ” Is that so ? ” Valen asks . ” Yep . The Alpha keeps the packs in line , the Luna keeps the Alpha in line , ” Valarian shrugs , and I laugh , glancing at Valen . 2 ” You think this is funny ? Our son just de manned me , ” Valen chuckles . ” Alpha’s , so sensitive , ” I tell him , patting Valen’s shoulder while shaking my head . We headed home , and on the way , I texted Kalen to come over for dinner .
