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

I could tell something was wrong with Everly, feel her stress through the bond. I could also feel she didn’t want to worry me about whatever was bothering her. She was so used to dealing with her struggles herself, I think she forgets she can actually share them and that she was never a burden to me.

“Are you going to stop by the homeless shelter today?” I ask her as she gathers her handbag and keys.“Yes, I will stop by after I see Emily. Any news from the patrols about any more forsaken sightings or anything on her son?” she asks me. I really wish I had an answer for her, but I didn’t. We had no leads, no scent trails, nothing. It was like they vanished altogether.

” No , but as soon as I hear anything. J promise you will be the first to know . There have been talks about a city meeting in the coming weeks to figure out something to do about the forsaken sightings and missing rogues ‘ situation . Pack members are becoming nervous , and it might also be a good time to bring up the rogue issues ? ” I tell her , and Everly nods . ” Yes , let’s hope the petition goes well and I get a date to be heard sometime today .

” Everly sighs and rubs her temples when her phone goes off in her handbag . She pulls it out , glances at the screen , and shakes her head . ” What’s wrong ? ” I ask , watching her as I tie my shoelaces . ” Nothing , mum has been pestering me to pull the petition and drop the rogue issue , ” she says and I noticed she sounded tired . Everly did look tired , actually . And I noticed she was tossing and turning all night in her sleep . ” What did she say ? ” ” That I would start a war , ” she says with a shrug . ” Funny , your father said something along those lines at the hospital , ” I tell her .

Everly chews her lip nervously . ” What war , though , ” we say simultaneously , and she giggles . ” Jinx , ” I tell her while getting to my feet . ” I have no idea . Mum rang me last night , ” Everly explains . ” So that is why you have been in a weird mood then , ” I tell her while wrapping my arms around her shoulders . ” Maybe I can try to get a hold of Ava . I am not sure what is happening , but even your father thought something was going on behind the scenes with my father , ” she tells me . ” Try your sister and come see me at the homeless shelter when you aren’t busy . I will be there all day . I have contractors coming to assess the damage , ” I tell her . However , I was dreading the bill for that . ” Well , you are going in the opposite direction , so I will run Valarian to school , ” she tells me before calling out to our son.

” I ask him . ” I don’t want to go to school . I wanted to come to the homeless shelter , ” he pouted . ” Not today , maybe on the weekend . Besides , there is too much machinery and people working there at the moment . It isn’t safe , ” I explain

to leave , I quickly cleaned the kitchen , packing up the school supplies Everly left out . I didn’t want to say anything , but when she is rushing around , she tends to forget to put stuff away and leaves it out . It was a pet peeve , but damn , it made me flustered . Finally leaving , I caught the lift to the underground car park . I didn’t go straight to the homeless shelter . Instead , I went to the jeweler . Valarian said Everly didn’t like

He liked the color of it . The only issue is sourcing one to fit in the ring because Serendibite is a rare mineral and hard to source . The jeweler only had one , but it was tiny , and the ring I wanted i t in would need to be altered to hold the stone . Once I get to the plaza , I walk up the side alley where the jeweler is

laptop , chin propped on his hand . His glasses perched on his nose as he stared at the screen . He sighs , pulling his glasses off and placing them on the glass display cabinet . ” Your son had to pick Serendibite , ” he . chuckles while shaking his head and running his hand through his gelled hair . He leans back

” I shake my head , and he sighs . ” Well then , you best get your wallet out then

it was thick enough to engrave ? ” I ask . Dion nods . I pull the piece of

get my hands dirty no matter how much that thought made me shudder . I was not ready to find the roof completely ripped off from the storm . My jaw dropped

in years . The damage I could see on the main street was shocking enough , but this side of town seemed to take a more brutal hit . I t made me wonder how Everly’s Hotel was . No doubt it would have been smashed by the wild weather . Walking over to one of the project managers , he ordered around

news ? ” I ask , and he laughs . ” Yep , now the bad news . This just added another month to the timeline and raised  the cost . ” Anything else ? ” ” Yep , the sewer overflowed out the back , and it seems the entire city’s shit washed into the far playground out the back
