Alpha’s Regret-My Luna Has A Son By Jess

Chapter 104

chapter 104 Valen POV Rolling over on the couch, I am awoken by a noise up the hall. I rub my eyes and can feel that Everly is awake through the bond. I could hear her at the back of the place, rummaging around and doing something. I try to go back to sleep but when I hear tiptoed foot steps in the hall. 1 crack an eye open to see her go to the front door, whispering under her breath to herself. I sit up, wondering where she is going so late at night. I hear the door unlock, then relock before hearing her footsteps again. “What are you doing?” I grumble and she jumps startled. “Nothing. Was making sure we locked the door,” she answers before padding off back down the hall. Now awake I got up to get a drink, yet she felt off through the bond, it made me wonder why she felt scared? The scariest thing in this damn place was lying on the lounge! Did she really think I would let someone in to get to them? 1

Lying back down, I tried to go back to sleep. I was in that part of sleep when you are asleep yet also not, my ears prick at soft footsteps again, only this time she was checking the balcony doors. What is she expecting? Someone to scale up the side of the hotel? I watch her trying to ignore the nagging of the bond when she goes to the front door again. “You already checked it,” I say GK8VhT>k she stops and I could just see her from where I lay, she was standing in the hall, she rubs her temples and goes to walk back to our room when she pauses and walks back to the front door.

“Everly, I said you already checked it,” I growl at her. “I just need to be sure,” she mutters and I listen to her twist the locks and relock them again. I click my tongue and sigh listening to her walk off again when Marcus tugs on the mind-link. “You just got home? I thought the company driver was meeting you halfway. Why are you up?” Marcus asks. “They did meet us halfway, dad and I took turns driving. And to answer your other question, because Everly keeps checking the damn locks,” “You two still not talking?” he asks. (1)

“I don’t want to upset her, I have nothing nice to say right now,” I admit, feeling like a damn asshole but I didn’t know what else to feel. I was angry and words stung so I didn’t want to throw them out in anger and upset her. 39 “Try and get some sleep. I will be by at 7 AM to pick you up,” he says, cutting the link. The last thing I wanted to do was go see Nixon, but after what we found out off John I needed to investigate, though I don’t see him being cooperative. I try to sleep, I catch a couple of hours when I hear the damn lock twist on the front door again, ignoring her, I listen as she checks the balcony doors, then the window. She was driving me up the damn wall but when I heard her check the kitchen window I sat up. Valarian would struggle to fit through it, let alone any ninja that managed to scale up the building. She rushes back off to the bedroom and I shake my head, laying back down and closing my damn eyes only to feel eyes on me a few minutes later. Unease rolls over me and I knew she was awake.

What I wasn’t expecting was to open my eyes as I rolled over to find her next to me.

I near shit my pants and jumped out of my skin. She jumps in fright when I do and I groaned clutching my hair. “What?!” I snap, annoyed. I had spent all dann day and night in a fucking car and now all night with her, waking me up every goddamn second. I growled at her and sat up only to notice her blanket and pillow on the floor next to the couch.

The look on her face made me feel like a prick for snapping at her when it clicked into place, she said nothing but I don‘t miss the way her lip quivers as she stood up to go back to the room. I grip her wrist as she reaches to grab her blanket, and I can feel the tremble in her hand. I lift the blanket and tug her on the couch with me. The stupid bond! 3 

She rolls into me and I slide my arm under her head so she can bury her face in my neck. She says nothing and falls asleep almost instantly while I found myself now unable to sleep trying to understand her strange action and the weird look of fright but also humiliation on her face like she was caught doing something she shouldn‘t. 1 

Her breathing evens out, her heart rate slows falling in sync with mine and her scent calms me as I tuck her closer and I eventually fall asleep. i
