Chapter 50 – part 1
Everly POV
It took ages for me to get rid of Valen. Valen had been pestering me all bloody 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 damn work done because once again, we were down more staff, and to make matters worse, no one could get a hold of Emily. Apparently, her son also didn’t show up for school.
However, when it was nearly 6 PM, I began to worry when Zoe hadn’t messaged me to say Valarian had been dropped to her as promised for dinner. Walking back to my office after the dinner rush started to slow down, I pull my phone from my pocket about to ring Valen when I smack into someone. Looking up, I find it was Marcus.
“Seriously, I have been looking for you everywhere,” said he says, shaking his head.
“Ah, okay. Why, but more importantly, do you know where Valen is with my son?”
“At home, I think, he sent me to watch you for the night.”
I growl, shoving past him and heading toward my office. Only

when I got there, I can hear banging inside the room and some strange noises. I push my office door open, wondering who is inside before stopping dead in my tracks at the sight before me.
Marcus walks in behind me and bumps into me before freezing beside me. Looking up at Marcus to make sure we were in the same reality; I see his mouth has fallen open in shock before he puts his hand over my eyes. I slap his hand away, about to back out of the room quietly. Then Marcus, of course, makes shit awkward by clearing his throat and drawing attention to the fact we were in the room.
My plan was to back away slowly and pretend I did not just see one of my best friends bent over my desk with her pants around her ankles while Tatum pounded into her. They both jumped, and I tried to bail out, but Marcus blocked the door with his huge ass body.
I glance everywhere but at the pair of them, while Marcus has no issues openly staring at them. I elbow him while poor Macey, who looks mortified at being busted, scrambles to put her clothes on.
“You should really put a sock on the door or maybe just lock it,” Marcus taunts. Tatum clears his throat, yanking his pants
- up.
“We were um, filing and,” Tatum glances at Macey.
“And tripped and fell into her vagina; it happens all the time? I

hate when that happens,” Marcus finishes for him while shaking his head laughing.
“Fucking filing? Do I look like a damn cabinet, you idiot?” Macey growls.
“If you were, I would definitely stick my files in you,” Tatum says as Macey buttons up her blouse; she growls at him.
“Next time, can you pick a room and not my desk?” I ask, still not looking at them. I would definitely be taking some sanitizer to that desk later. Maybe even buy another. I don’t think I will ever look at it again same without seeing Macey bent over it.
“I thought you knocked off at four?” I ask her.
“I did, but Tatum asked for help.”
“Wait, why are you still here?”
“I haven’t left,” Tatum says.
“Jenny didn’t show up?”
Tatum shakes his head and shrugs.
“Jenny wasn’t on today, Blaire was, and she never showed. I tried ringing her, and that was when I met…” She glances at

Tatum… “your friend. Did you get a hold of Emily? Zoe tried this morning and couldn’t?” Macey asks, and I shake my head.
“No, I was about to go over there and check on her.”
“Maybe Blaire caught the bug too?” Macey says, but this was getting too strange, I had managed to lose two receptionists in two days, and multiple staff was already sick.
“Okay, ring Jenny and see if she can fill in; I am heading over to the commune,” I tell Macey, who picks up the phone. Shit! Valarian, I think. Pulling my phone out, I quickly dial Valen’s phone, which is switched off. I growl and look at Marcus.
“Mind–link your Alpha and ask where my son is?”
“If you let him mark you, you could mind–link him yourself,” Marcus taunts, and I roll my eyes before watching his eyes glaze over. I wait when he sighs.
“He said he is taking Valarian for the night,” Marcus tells me, and I press my lips in a line before walking out to the car park. I would pick him up on the way home. Only when I get out there, I curse, realizing I don’t have a car thanks to Valen and turn around to head back home to see if I could borrow Zoe’s. Only when I turn around, do I smack into Marcus again.
“What are you doing?” I ask him, seeing that he was following
- me.

“Ah, coming with you,” he says.

“You are not staying at my place, go home and… wait, have you got a car?”
“Ah yeah, you think I walked here?”
“Good, you are taking me to the rogue commune,” I tell him, looking for his car. I spot the shiny, sleek sports car and start marching over to it.
“Is that where your friend lives?” Marcus asks, chasing me to keep up.
“Yes, she isn’t answering her phone, and her son never showed up for school,” I tell him as he unlocks his car.
I climb in the passenger seat before sending Zoe a message that I would get Valarian and that I was going to check on Emily.
Marcus drove me insane the entire drive there; the man could talk the leg off an iron pot. And what was up with his music selection? It sounded like a kid’s musical in here.
“What the heck are you listening to?” I ask.
“Trolls soundtrack, it is catchy, do you like it?”
