“You what?”
“You don’t need them.”
“Valen, you can’t just throw things out!”
“Valarian said Zoe banned them from the house, so you can either accept it and call me when you need me or you can tell Zoe they’re in the house and I’ll give them back,” I tell her, folding my arms across my chest. She growls, and I raise an eyebrow at her.
“Is that a purr or a growl? It’s a little hard to tell.”
She glares at me.
“So, what will it be?”
She turns back to make the coffee.
“Or I could just stay here, or we can alternate between both places. I was going to ask if I could take Valarian for the weekend anyway.”
“Valen, you don’t even have a room set up for him or anything for a child at your place.”
“I’ll go get some stuff or send Marcus to. I can look after our son, Everly.”
“I’ll think about it. Besides, we have the Alpha meeting on Friday. Maybe the weekend after,” she says, sliding a coffee over to me.
“Why not this weekend?”
“Valen, we are about to publicly announce we’re mates, and that will change things for Valarian. I don’t want too much to change too quickly.”
“Then stay with him.”
“I am not staying at your place. Besides, I have to work.”
“Then he’ll be fine with me. Or I stay here. Either way, I am seeing my son on the weekend, so choose,” I argue.
She ignores me, walking back to her room to get ready for work. I follow, sitting on her bed.
“Uh, what are you doing?”
“Finishing our conversation.”
“It can wait, I need to get ready.”
“Then get ready. I thought women could multitask, or can’t you talk and get dressed at the same time?”
She growls at me, but I refuse to leave, even when she glares at me as I get comfortable on the bed and watch her.
“Valen, out!”
“So, the weekend?”
She snarls as she snatches clothes off the hanger.
ChapterFifty
Everly
It took ages for me to get rid of Valen. He’d been pestering me all damn day about taking Valarian for the weekend. He finally agreed to leave if he could get Valarian from school and take him somewhere after. I decided to agree, so I could get some fucking work done because once again, we’re down more staff. And to make matters worse, no one can get a hold of Emily. Apparently, her son also didn’t show up for school.
However, when it was nearly 6 p.m., I began to worry when Zoe hadn’t messaged me to say Valarian had been dropped off for dinner as promised. Walking back to my office after the dinner rush starts to slow down, I pull my phone from my pocket, about to call Valen when I smack into someone. Looking up, I find it’s Marcus.
