Chapter 42

Everly POV

“You look worried, ” Kalen states. He leaned forward before standing up, he motioned toward my chair, and I walked over to it before taking my seat. Kalen takes the seat on the other side of my desk. “No, I kind of expected it. You here too, what? Threaten me about telling Valen about Valarie?” I ask while pulling my phone from my pocket and sitting it on the desk. “You think that little of me?”

“Well, you did let your mate d*e, so what else should I think?”

“I never intended for that to happen. I loved Val, she.. I was coming to claim her, and she always hid how bad it was,”

“Bt,”

“You think I wouldn’t take it back if I could?” I didn’t care to hear his excuses, and I knew Tatum would be lurking around, so if needed, I only had to call out to him. “What do you want?” I ask him.

“Let Valen mark you,” I fold my arms across my chest and sit back, I didn’t expect that.
