chapter 37(2)

A whimper escapes my lips, having forgotten just how powerful an Alpha aura is when directed at you in anger, and he is angry. No, that isn’t a strong enough word. He’s livid. “Don’t test me, Everly. You know exactly who I am and what I am capable of. Just remember, if you want to leave here with my son, you better start speaking,” he warns. Marcus comes up behind him and grips his arm. My eyes dart to him over Valen’s shoulder. “Valen, calm down,” Marcus whispers to him, and he growls but steps back. I breathe deeply when his aura slips off me, allowing me to stand without wanting to collapse in a heap at his feet. “How?” Alpha Valen says, leaning on the counter. He looks over his shoulder at our son, who is unaware of the tension behind him. “Gee, I don’t know, Valen. Crept into your bed and left without saying a word?” “What?” he growls, and I scoff. Is he really that stupid? He runs his hand down his face before rubbing his temples. “Explain. Why would you not tell me?” he growls.
