“Casey downloaded it on my Spotify.”
“What is up with you sniffing her, by the way. And I would stay the hell away from Zoe. She wants your damn head on a silver platter,” I warn him.
“Yeah, Valen told me on the way to the school at lunchtime, said she bitched him out really good. I only wanted to know what washing powder she used, a bit of an overreaction if you ask me,” Marcus sighs.
“You wouldn’t think that if you had her upbringing, she spent the majority of her childhood in youth homes; she met some damn creeps in her time,” I tell him.
“Is that how she had Casey?” he asks, and I shake my head.
“No, and what were you and Valen doing at the school at lunchtime?”
“Getting Valarian to take him to the birth registry.”
“Excuse me?”

“Valen, got him DNA tested and changed his last name.”
“He what?” I growl.
“You didn’t know?”

“No, I fucking didn’t.”
Marcus looks away awkwardly, drumming his on the steering wheel.
“I thought you knew Valen had a blood sample taken the night he found out before you got there.”
“Why would he need to have his DNA tested? We can tell our own kin.”
“Yeah, but the birth registry would need it. They can’t tell if Valarian is his or not,” Marcus shrugs.
“I thought he told you he was taking Valarian from school?”
“Yes, picking him up after not kidnapping him and changing his name, I am going to fucking kill him,” I growl as we pull into the commune.
Arriving, the presence of blue and red lights makes us slow down. Officer Richards waves for us to stop as we pull in. We are in a pretty secluded area at the back of the commune, so

there wasn’t any reason for them to be out here. Only Emily and her son lived out here because her neighbors kept complaining about the smell of her vegetable garden, so she moved to the other side of the commune away from
everyone.
Marcus rolls down his window, and officer Richards comes over and peers in the window.
“Beta, Everly,” Officer Richards says.
“What is going on?” I ask him.
“School sent us out to do a welfare check on a woman called Emily and her son. Apparently, neither showed up to the school today; she does the morning reading group.”
I nod. Emily always did two days a week at the school, one day for canteen duty the other reading group.
“So you spoke with her?” I ask.
“You know her?”
“Yeah, she works at my hotel. I was coming to check on her.”
Officer Richards runs a hand down his face.
“Her place is a mess, and there are signs of a struggle;

forensics are in there now taking blood samples.”

Forensics were taking blood samples? I blink, thinking of the last time I saw Emily or her son.
“Blood samples?”
“Yeah, the place is pretty messed up, she put a fight, but we can’t find any sign of her or her son.”
“forsaken?”
“Unsure, maybe, but we found a dead one not far into the forest.”
“You reported it to Valen?”
“No, we tried, can’t reach him, but Alpha John is on his way out said he would stop by and grab Alpha Kalen,fucking strange seeing them two talking,” Officer Richards says. Marcus nods, and so do I. My brows furrow, wondering why my father was interested in missing rogues.
“I will let Valen know tomorrow; let us know if you find anything,” Marcus says. I wondered briefly if Kalen would tell my father about Valen and me but doubted it. However, I was interested in why those two were so buddy–buddy right now. Officer Richards goes to leave before stopping and coming back to the window. He leaned in, looking at me, but I was still stuck on the fact my receptionist was missing and her son.

“Also, Everly, you might want to give Zoe a heads up,” I look over at him.
“Pardon?”
“Amber found out about Casey.”
“Fuck, think she will cause issues?”
Officer Richards shrugs. “No idea, but she wasn’t happy.”
I sigh and nod. “I will let Zoe know.”
“I’m sorry, Everly.”
“Why are you sorry?”
“They are filing for custody of Casey.”
“What?”
“Don’t worry, we will back Zoe up; she is a good girl, and honestly, Amber is just being spiteful.”
I curse, shaking my head. Zoe was going to freak out. “Tell your son to back off and pull his mate in line; they come after Zoe for Casey there will be issues.”

“I will speak with him, but you know what the courts are like, he already filed, and Zoe is a rogue,”
“That says nothing about her ability to parent,” I tell him. Officer Richards nods sadly.
“Which court did he file in?”
“His mates, Shadow Pack. Alpha John’s pack.”
Fuck! I was hoping he would have said Valen’s pack.
“Wait, she is from shadow Pack?”
“Ah yes, she is the Beta’s daughter.” I blink at him, racking my brain for the name.
“Wait, Amber Zimmer?”
“Yeah, do you know her?”
“Yeah, I went…”
Marcus elbows me, and I realize I was about to admit going to school with her. She was one of Ava’s best friends.
“We should go; I need to get Everly over to Alpha Valen’s to pick up Valarian”

“Oh yes, Kalen told me it was being announced at the Alpha meeting when I rang him. The pack will be stoked that Valen finally found his mate.”
“Once they get over the shock of his mate being a rogue?”
“Ah, well, yes, but the pack will love you,” Officer Richards says. I doubted that but sigh.
“Well, we should go; keep us updated,” Marcus says, winding his window up and turning the car around.
“Valen’s?”
“Yes, then I need to go break the news to Zoe,” I tell him, and he nods.
“She can fight it,” Marcus tells me.
“She is rogue, and the custody case will be heard in my father’s pack,” Marcus seems to think for a second.
“You think he would interfere?”
“I know he will if he finds out she is my friend,” he nods, and we drive to Valen’s.
