Everly POV We drove out of my father’s pack territory. Valen followed close behind me, and just before we jumped on the main road, he flashed his lights behind me before his voice flitted briefly through my head. “Pull over,” he growled, he was angry, and I quickly pulled over to the shoulder of the road and away from the traffic. Ava glances at me, and I put the handbrake on.

“Wait here,” I sighed, climbing out of the car at the same time Valen did; I readied myself for his anger. He stalked toward me, and I was about to defend my actions when he grabbed my face and kissed me, pushing me against my car. “Don’t ever do that again,” he mumbled against my lips, his fingers tangling in my hair as his tongue invaded my mouth, kissing me angrily before he groaned, and my face heated, knowing my sister was in the the car while he devoured my lips .

I push on his chest . ” Valen ! ” I squeak against his lips while pushing on his chest . He growls , mauling my lips while I look around , embarrassed

at his public display . He growls at me , grabbing m y hand and placing it on the center of his chest . His heart was racing beneath my hand , thumping so hard I worried he may have a heart attack . ” You just scared the living daylight out of me . Give m e a minute , ” he growled while pressing his face into my neck and inhaling deeply . Valen pushed closer , his entire body pressing against me , and I sighed , running my fingers through thick hair .

And he was supposed to be the blood Alpha , on the verge of having a nervous breakdown ? ” Don’t ever make me do that again . Do you have any idea how hard it was t o walk away and leave you there ? ” Valen says , his voice pleading . ” I didn’t mean to scare you ; I am fine . Everything i s fine , ” I assured him . He sighs , nodding his head before cupping my face in his hands as he steps back . ” You challenged your father ! ” he said , and I couldn’t help the stupid smirk that split onto my face at his words . I wasn’t sure if he wanted to kill m e or laugh . He clucked his tongue and shook his head .

” You better win because if I kill your father , you can’t blame me for it , ” he tells me . ” No one is killing anyone , ” I tell him , and he presses his lips in a line . I know he was angry about learning my father knew all along about Valarian being his , but what’s done is done . We can’t go back and change it , so there is n o point in dwelling on it .

Valen grips my shoulder , and I nod . ” I’ll be there soon , ” I tell the Doctor before hanging up . ” Emily ? ” Valen asks , and I nod , dialing Zoe and Macey before merging their calls . They both answered at the same time . ” What’s up ? ” Macey asks . ” It’s Emily , ” ” On my way , ” Macey says , hanging up . ” I will get Marcus to take Casey , ” Zoe says , hanging up as well . I swallow the lump forming in my throat before looking at Valen . ” I need to go . Can you take Ava back to the Hotel for me ? ” ” Do you want me to come with you ? ” I shake my

my mouth . ” Ring me if you need me to come over , ” h e says , and I nod . Unable t o form words right now ,swallowing down my worry , I suck in a deep breath before turning and back
