Chapter 42

Everly POV

“You look worried,” Kalen states. He leans forward before standing up. He motions toward my chair, and I walk over to it before taking my seat. Kalen takes the seat on the other side of my desk.

“No, I kind of expected it. You here too, what? Threaten me about telling Valen about Valarie?” I ask while pulling my phone from my pocket and sitting it on the desk.

“You think that little of me?”

“Well, you did let your mate die, so what else should I think?”

“I never intended for that to happen. I loved Val, she… I was coming to claim her, and she always hid how bad it was.”

“Bullshit,” I say, hating him more and more by the minute.

“You think I wouldn’t take it back if I could?”

I didn’t care to hear his excuses, and I knew Tatum would be lurking around, so if needed, I only had to call out to him.

“What do you want?” I ask him.

“Let Valen mark you.”

I fold my arms across my chest and sit back, I didn’t expect that.

“No.”

“Don’t be stupid, Everly. Do you want to turn out like Valarie?”

“And whose fault is that?” I spit at him.

“Fucking stubborn woman, you’re just like her. Set in your ways.”

“Marking me will solve nothing, five years I lived with him screwing around, am I supposed to forget that, forget him kicking me out in the rain when I tried to tell him?”

Kalen scrubs a hand down his face. “My son won’t take anyone besides his mate, and I need some kind of leverage against your father.”

“My father is not my issue.”

“Don’t be so stupid. I am trying to stop a war,” he says.

“And you think I am the answer to it. My father won’t care if I marry Valen or mate and mark him. He hates me and me

“For you or me?”

“Both.”

“I know you don’t trust me, Everly. But I am trying to do the right thing here,” he says.
