Chapter 98
“Shush! Keep your voice down!” I hissed at him, glancing around.
“You can’t bloody shift! The challenge is not tomorrow but the next day,” my father growls, forgetting what he came here for, though I knew it has to do with the news.
“Challenge is still going ahead. I am not backing down,” I tell him.
“You can’t shift, Everly! Why would you challenge me when you are pregnant?” he growls.
“I only just found out today, but it changes nothing,”
“Like f*ck it doesn’t! I am not fighting a pregnant woman!” he snarls.
“Then stand down!” I tell him.
“No! It is my pack. I can’t even if I wanted to,” he says making my brows furrow before I shake my head.
“Then I will see you in two days,” I tell him, snatching my bags up. Valarian comes out the doors, looking at us.
“Does Valen know?” he asks as I start to head inside.
“No, and you will keep your mouth shut until after the challenge,” I tell him he scoffs and shakes his head.
“It’s my birthright! I’m the rightful heir! Do the right thing, dad. Hand me my title,” he says nothing, and I start walking off when he chases me, stopping me again.
“Mum?” Valerian calls out, looking at me worriedly. Guards start moving in, but I wave them off.
“Your mother will be with you in a second, Val. Wait inside. It is cold,” my father tells him, and Valarian looks at me. I nod for him to go in, and he does, standing just inside the doors.
“What?” I asked, turning to look back at my father. “You f*cked up,”
“So, it’s ok for you to paint me in the media as a whore but don’t like the favor returned?” I laugh.
“I don’t care about the photos of me. I will deal with that. It’s Nixon, he will f*cking come for you for what you did. You need to leave the city. Get Valarian and Ava and your two girlfriends, and get out while you can.
“What? No. I am not leaving the city,” my father grabs my arms.
“You need to get out! Nixon is planning something! Something big!” he says staring me dead in the face. It was then I knew that he knew something that he was trying to keep hidden.
“Like what?” I ask. He says nothing and curses.
“This is about your debt?” I ask, and his head snaps back to look at me.
“How? …bloody Ava.” he curses.
“I don’t know but I have a funny feeling it is to do with the rogues and forsaken going missing,” he says, glancing around nervously.
“What do you mean?” I ask him. “You need to leave the city!”
“Tell me why. What have you done?” I ask him.
“I haven’t done anything but I found documentation on a hard drive N ixon left at the council one morning. He is building an army to take down Valen’s pack and the Night Slasher Pack. That’s why I tried to marry Ava off to Valen. Not just to absolve my debt, but to ensure Valen holds rein over the city. If he married Ava, I would have had sway over Valen, but-“
“You want Valen to remain in control?” I asked a little skeptical.
“We may have our differences, but if Nixon takes down Valen’s pack and the Slasher pack, he will hold control,”
“We outnumber his pack. You aren’t making sense!” I tell him.
“You don’t! Think Everly! The forsaken! Nixon is behind it, and he is building a f*cking army out of them!” I stumble back.
