Lycan's Prey by Jessica Hall

Chapter 9

Valen POV

The sun is searing my eyes out of my head as it lit up the back of my eyelids. I am just about to force myself up when Marcus bursts into my room, the door slamming into the wall loudly, the noise rattling my already pounding headache.

“Ah, good you’re up,” he says just as I sit up, rubbing my eyes. I wave him off, but he doesn’t leave. Instead, he leans on the wall beside my dresser.

“What?” I ask, my head pounding in my skull. I look around my room to find some redhead in my bed and groan, praying I used a rubber. She is tangled in the sheets, and just seeing her there irritates me. Stupid dick, why does it always pick bimbos?

“The rogue girl in my room, where did she go?”

Huh? What the fuck is he talking about? I am too hungover for his drama this morning. I stare at the woman in my bed, her hair spreading out on the pillow like a web of red. All the while, I ignore my Beta.

“Hey, whatever your name is, get up,” I tell her, shoving her shoulder. She groans, rolling over flashing us her tits. I growl at her, and Marcus snorts.

“Get rid of her,” I tell Marcus, getting up to pee. I push the bathroom door open, my senses coming alert. I can smell some faint scent in here. It makes my mouth water but is so faint, making me wonder if the cleaning lady changed her chemicals.

“Valen, the girl in my room, where is she?” Marcus asks, following me to the bathroom.

“What girl?” I mutter, shaking my dick before pulling my pants up. I spot by trash can and see a used condom, thank fuck for that, I think to myself.

“The rogue girl, Everly. I picked her up last night and brought her here,” Marcus says, and I pinch the bridge of my nose trying to remember last night.

My head is pounding, but I remember coming home and the slut in my bed was whining about a rogue before it clicked, coming back to me. But I can’t remember her face. However, something keeps nagging me about the situation.

“Wait, you brought her here?” I ask, peering over at my Beta leaning on the bathroom door.

“Yes, and she has a name: Everly, her and her son; I found them sleeping at the train station.”

“What?” I ask, horrified looking at him.
