Page 85 of Alpha's Regret: My Luna Has A Son

Kalen sighs heavily. “Look, you want your son safe, right? Protected. Valen is the key to protecting him.”

“I have protected him for years, and I don't need Valen's help or your strange help, if that’s even what you’re doing, or trying to do.”

Kalen starts to say something when the door bursts open. Macey and Zoe rush in. Macey, seeing Kalen, glares at him before pointing an accusing finger.

“I swear, Alpha Asshole, if your son has hurt my daughter, you won't be leaving this damn room,” she spits at him while Zoe tries to calm her down.

“He’s nice.”

I raise an eyebrow at Zoe.

“Well, he is to me. And I don't think he would hurt our kids. I spent all damn morning with him and he only wanted to help with his son,” Zoe explains.

“My son would never hurt a child. Tell me one article you have read where he has injured a kid. Leave him be; he will just take them out or bring them back if he can't handle them,” Kalen offers Macey.

“And you?” Macey asks.

“He was upset that the teacher is a stoner; nothing malicious,” I answer. Macey looks between us all and I can hear her heart racing in her chest. She closes her eyes and sucks in a deep breath.

“Sorry. It feels weird. Besides these two, the only ones that I leave Taylor with are my mother and brother.”

“Can never be too careful, but my son means well,” Kalen says before looking at me. I bite my lip. What is his game?

I dial Valarian's teacher's number.

“Hello, Ms. Summers.”

“Yes, it’s fine for Valen to take the kids.”

“Ms. Summers, I can't allow him to take Casey.”

“Macey and Zoe are right here. I’ll put Macey on.”

“I already called the school on the walk over,” Zoe says, and I nod.

“And Zoe already called the front office.”

“Oh. Oh right, well, put Ms. Aldrene on then.” I hand the phone to Macey, who snatches it up and allows him to remove Taylor from class before demanding to speak to Valen. Kalen raises an eyebrow but remains quiet.

“Hello?”

“Are you seriously kidnapping our kids?” ................ “Well, if you don't like the schooling, Mr. Solace, do something about it. It’s the only school here for rogue children. But I swear to God, if you try to take my daughter out of this city, you won't need to fear the Forsaken. Alpha or not, I will skin you alive and put you in an ants’ nest.” ................ “Yes, I trust Everly and Zoe's judgment of you. Now put Taylor on. She won’t go with a stranger,” Macey snaps at him.

She quickly talks to her daughter before thrusting the phone in my direction. Sighing, she runs her fingers through her hair before glancing at Kalen.

“Why is he here?” she suddenly asks, and Zoe turns her head to stare at him too.

“Just here to give Everly my wishes on the marking.”

“More like force her hand,” Macey mutters. Kalen stands up, and we all take a step back except Macey. I swear she’s either stupid sometimes or just fearless.

“We can catch up again later,” Kalen says before nodding to the girls and taking his leave.

“What was that about?”

“I have no damn idea, just said to let Valen mark me.” I shake my head and laugh. Neither of them do, instead both eyeing the tissue in my hands.

“Maybe you should, Everly. He–”
