Chapter 67


    The collective gasp that left the table was audible, and I could see everyone looking in our direction while


    my father sputtered for words. However, Ava howled withughter. So much so that the Mayor’ s wife


    looked at her as though she was absurd. It was really hard to keep myposure because my sister


    had the funniestugh. Ava had one of thoseughs that made youugh because the sound was


    ridiculous. My mother elbows her and shuts her up effectively with a re while my father growls at me.


    His canines slipped from between his parted lips as he red  up at me.


    The Mayor’s wife looked at my father questionably. “You have another daughter?” she asked, clearly


    shocked by this news. Alpha Nixon, who was about my father’s age, with thick blonde hairbed to


    one side, looked outraged as he stared at us all. My father tried to exin before turning his anger on


    me, and his hands pped the table, but I just stared unflinchingly. This was my home, and if he wanted


    to deny my existence, fine, but he wouldn’t be doing it under my roof. My mother gripped his forearm,


    and she red at Alpha Nixon’s wife like she was about to have a go at her, but a growl from my father


    had put her head down as he red daggers at me.


    “You are not my daughter; you haven’t been since the day you became a rogue – whor- ” His words


    stopped when I felt tingles rush across my neck as fingertips and a warm palm cupped the side of it


    before moving to my shoulder. Valen’s scent wafted to me before I felt his lips graze my jawline as he


    buried his face in the side of my neck. My father’s anger dissolved as he stared in shock. Valen tugged


    me to his side when his hand moved down my arm to my waist, pulling me closer to him. The room


    turned silent, so silent  you could hear a pin drop.


    “I don’t think I have introduced my mate, ” Valen said calmly, though his aura was deadly, and Alpha


    Nixon’s wife dropped  her head, her cheeks heating. I noticed how ufortable all the Alphas became


    in the room, the tension high as Valen, the most prominent figure in the City and strongest, most feared


    Alpha, addressed my father.


    My father huffed and shook his head before he blew up. Alpha Nixon red at my father, and my father


    looked at Ava, and she shrunk back in her seat.


    Although the smile never left her lips, this was prime entertainment for her.


    “I know exactly who this rogue-whore is, and she is not your mate,” he added, shooting me a re.


    “See, that is where you are wrong, Alpha John. Everly is no rogue-whore. She is my mate and Luna of


    the Nightshade Pack, ” Valen said.


    “You are mistaken; this girl is a rogue-whore. I don’t know what she has told Alpha Valen, but she has a


    son. She has tricked you,” my father dared to say. Murmurs broke out throughout the room.


    “You mean Vrian?” Alpha Valen asked before turning to look at  the  back of the room where all the


    children were. I nced over to see Vrian watching us, and Valen waved him over. Vrian smiled


    and rushed to his father, and Valen bent down and picked him up with one arm.


    “Who is that, daddy?” Vrian whispered, looking at my parents curiously.


    “That is your grandfather, grandmother, and your Aunty Ava, ” Valen whispered to him and kissed his


    cheek. The whispers in the background grew louder as everyone watched the Blood Alpha, the most


    notorious Alpha in the City, doting on his son. My father sputtered, lost for words, and Valen gripped my


    waist tighter as he turned to look at my father.


    “I’d like to introduce you to my son, Vrian Sce. The resemnce is uncanny, don’t you think?”


    Valen smirked, daring my father to deny what he was saying.


    Vrian could not be mistaken for anyone else’s son; Valen’s bloodline was the only bloodline in the City


    with a gic mutation that caused them all to have Amber eyes. No other wolf I havee across had


    that trait, and more than that, they had the  same scent, and Vrian’s aura could already be felt,


    showing he was born from not one Alpha but two Alpha wolves. Anyone looking close enough could tell


    they were father and son. If anyone had their doubts, no one spoke up. They knew better than to piss off


    my mate.


    “The eyes, ” Alpha Nixon murmured, looking at Vrian and Valen before staring up at my father


    questionably. He tossed his napkin on the table before turning his questioning to my father, and I saw a


    few other alphas stand and look over at my son and Valen, also recognizing the obvious traits most


    looked past when seeing my son.


    Cameras shed around us everywhere, and I knew this would be sshed all over the morning paper


    tomorrow and in news headlines.


    “Did you know?” Alpha Nixon asked, looking at my father and mother. My mother had her head down,


    not liking the change in direction and the  usation behind Alpha Nixon’s words.


    “How could he? Alpha John had her existence wiped from every database in the City the moment she


    refused to abort my grandson,” came Kalen’s voice as he came up behind us.


    “We had a deal,” my father growled.


    “And the deal still stands; you said Valen was to marry your daughter or are you going to continue to


    deny that Everly here is?” Kalen asked, and my father growled before ring at me.


    My father stood, and the veins in his neck bulged and throbbed with growing anger as he fought the urge


    to shift, his ws scratching down the table and slicing through the thin cloth. His entire body trembled


    with rage, and Valen passed Vrian to me before shoving me behind him.


    “If you have an issue, John, about who my mate is, I suggest we take it outside,” Valen warned him, his


    tone deadly calm yet the warning clear. My father knew he was no match for Valen, maybe in his younger


    years, but not now? Valen’s aura outmatched all those in this room, and one thing about auras is it was a


    warning for who you were messing with.


    And Valens outweighed everyone here, proving he was the real King of this City. No one in this room was


    daring enough to go up against him. He didn’t get the title of the blood Alpha for not shedding blood and


    destroying those who challenged him. My father sneered before looking down at my mother, who had


    remained silent.


    “We are leaving, ” He growled at her, grabbing her arm and ripping her up to stand by his side. My father


    stood, pulling my mother with him as everyone at the surrounding tables jumped away. ” Ava now!” My


    father boomed, and she smirked as she stood before speaking loud enough that the entire room heard


    the following words that left her lips. No doubt she would pay for them when she got home, but I could


    see the defiance and determination to call my father out publicly.

    “I’ll catch youter, sis,” she chuckled, pecking my cheek as she went to pass me before cupping


    Vrian’s cheek with her hand. “Gosh, how you have grown, and damn, you look like your father,” she


    laughed and sent me a wink. My father growled and snarled, baring his teeth at her, and she smiled


    before strolling after my father.


    “Well, that was an interesting change in events,” I heard an Alpha say from another table. I nced over


    at the man, and he undid his tie, tossing it on the table.


    “Indeed it is,” Alpha Nixon and also the city mayor said as he pursed his lips. I turned and stared after my


    father as he shoved through the exit doors, the media outside snapping photos, and we all heard his


    furious growl ring out through the night, making them jump away and scatter in fright.


    “Back to the celebrations, everybody. I need a drink, ” Kalen said, breaking the strange tension that had


    returned.


    Passing Vrian back to Valen, he looked at me. ” What’s wrong?” he asked, and I shook my head.


    “I’ll be back,” I told him, darting off and out the doors after my family that had left. The camera lights hurt


    my eyes as I tried to look for the car. Spotting it, I rushed over to them before my mother could get in.


    “Mum?” I called, and she looked at me before looking back at the car. She moved toward me, and my


    father got back out of the car and yelled at her to get back in. I clutched her hands, and my father’s fury


    was enough to keep the media away. No one darede close enough to hear us.


    My mother hugged me, and my father growled and screamed at her. “I have to go,” she whispered,  with


    tears in her eyes. She nced at my furious father, who was about to stalk over to her, no doubt to drag


    her back to the car.


    “I will call you. Now I know where you are, he can’t keep me away. I have to go before your fatheres


    over.”


    “Wait, just let me,” she shook her head and squeezed my fingers.


    “I have to go. I need to calm your father down. You have no idea what you have just done,” she said,


    confusing me before rushing off and past my  father, who stalked toward her. He stopped looking me up


    and down and sneered, about to say something before looking over my shoulder. I turned to see what he


    was looking at, only to see Valening up behind me. My father growled before  turning on his heel


    and  returning  to his car.


    Valen wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me against him and away as my father reversed out of


    his parking spot. My father tore out of the ce, speeding off down the road. I sighed; what a long night.


    Valen kissed my cheek before pressing his nose into my neck.


    “Are you okay?” he whispered, and I nodded, wondering what my mother meant by her words.


    ” I will be,” I told him before letting him lead me back to the restaurant.
