“You said you weren’t hurt,” he growls.
“I bumped my head, just a headache,” I say, snatching my hand out of his grip. Valen stares at me before a growl
escapes him, and he starts prodding the bump on the back of my head.
‘I’ll fucking kill him,” he snaps, storming out of the room before I can stop him.
“Wait, Valen. Just leave it be,” I shriek, chasing after him as makes his way outside to his car.
His car beeped as he unlocked the doors before tossing the doors open and racing to the other side. “Valen, stop. Let it go,”
“Get out,” Valen growls. Fur is growing along his arms as he struggles to remain in his human form. His eyes flicker with his rage.
“No.”
“Everly!”

“No, Valen. Either I come with you, or you don’t go.”
“Everly!” Valen snaps, and I raise my eyebrow at him.

“I won’t let you hurt him or do something you can’t undo. It was a dispute that is over now, and no one needs to die over a bumped head,” I tell him. Valen’s claws slip from his nailbeds before clenching his fists on the steering wheel. He goes to say something else, and I glare at him.
“Micah is Casey’s father. He may be a shitty one, but he is still her father. You hurt him, and it could upset her, so no. You will not touch him or whatever you plan on doing to the idiot,” I threaten. Valen seems shocked by my outburst, but I believe retaliating would only worsen things. And Zoe didn’t need the added drama when she was about to enter a custody battle against him. This would just add more fuel to the fire.
“You can’t expect me to do nothing,” he says, looking a bit
calmer.
“That’s exactly what I expect. The issue is over. Officer Richards looked like he was going to give him hell anyway over the drama he caused. He seemed genuinely embarrassed over his son’s actions and no doubt would deal with him.”
“As his Alpha, I can’t let it slide when he hurt my mate,” Valen snarls.
“And as his Luna, I won’t allow you to kill him,” I retort, and he

seems taken aback by my words.
“Are you trying to pull rank over me?” he scoffs.

“Not trying, I am. If you hurt him, Valen, it will just cause more issues. I don’t want the pack hating me before I even join it. Micah and his father are well respected in your pack and this city. I sure as hell don’t want to walk in, disturbing the peace straight away, just because he hurt me before he realized who I was,” I tell him.
Valen calms down at my words and folds his arms across his chest, turning slightly to look at me.
“So you are my Luna?” he says, processing everything.
“Shut up, and take me to my son,” I say. He doesn’t start the car; instead, Valen continues to stare at me while I look at the window, trying to ignore his gaze.
“I can’t believe you are trying to pull rank over me, and you haven’t even let me mark you yet. Now that is bold young lady,” he chuckles.
I folded my arms across my chest and turned my head to look at him. “So what will it be, Alpha?” I ask, and he clicks his tongue, shaking his head.
“Oh, so now we are turning to blackmail?” he chuckles.

“Yep, you want a Luna; I don’t want blood on my hands.”

“Technically, his blood would be on my hands, not yours. I wouldn’t want you to break a nail,” Valen taunts.
“Broken nails never fazed me, but you make things worse, and
I may just have to change my mind on this entire Luna
business,” I say.
“Is that so?”
“Yep,” I tell him. He scratches his chin.
“It’s not up for discussion,” I tell him when he opens his
mouth.
“What about a compromise?”
“That would make it up for discussion,” he chuckles and shrugs.
“I won’t hurt him,” he growls the last part out, clearly not liking
- it.
“If?” I stare at him, and he smirks before a cocky smile splits
onto his face.
“If what?” I ask, glaring over at him, knowing he would ask for something that he knew I wouldn’t want to agree to.

“For a kiss.”
“A kiss?”

“Yep, that’s my deal. Take it or leave it,” he says.
“What right now, here?” I ask, looking around and praying for an excuse that someone was around. I find nobody.
“One kiss!” I say.
“One kiss,” he repeats, looking triumphant. I press my lips in a line and glare at him. He laughs and mid–laugh, I lean over and pecked his lips before sitting back in my seat.
“They’re done,” I chuckle, ignoring all of the feelings of the bond inside of me.
“Ah, that’s not what I meant by a kiss.”
“A kiss is a kiss,” I tell him.
“That is not what I meant, and you know it, I have kissed my father better than that,” he growls.
“You kiss your father.”

“That came out wrong. I meant on the cheek, in greeting not a romantic way!” I laugh.
“What, you don’t kiss people?” he asks.
“Well, I don’t kiss my father, that’s for sure,” I say.
“Stop it, you know what I meant,” Valen says, becoming embarrassed at his word vomit. It was strange to feel him through the bond.
“I know what you meant, and I think it is sweet that you give your father a peck on the cheek. Bet that makes him happy that you haven’t outgrown your father’s love,” I tell him. I didn’t want him to think I thought it weird. It was totally acceptable. It just shocked me that he was that close to his father. Although neither of them appeared too affectionate, Valen was always happy to receive and give our son hugs and affection. It made me think of my father when I was still his daughter, not his biggest shame.
He, too, was a good father and never turned our affections away until I got pregnant and went from daddy’s little girl to daddy’s rogue whore daughter. But I was glad he had a strong relationship with his father. That would never be a bad thing. Though it made the entire Valarie mess more upsetting, knowing how much it would hurt Valen to know his father lied to him all these years.
“So about this kiss you cheated me out of?” Valen chuckles.

“I did not cheat you. You cheated yourself,” I tell Valen as I motion for him to start the car. “I kissed you. It’s done; now let’s go. I need to get back to do some work.”
“Fine, but you owe me a kiss still, and a proper one,” Valen taunts while starting the car.
“I will make you pay up,” he adds as he backs out of the driveway. I chuckle and shake my head at his words.
