capitulo 69

“ Lo siento , hijo ” , Kalen se atragantó y gimió . Girando la cabeza , lo miré . _ La cara de Kalen estaba tan hinchada que apenas era reconocible . Tosió antes de llevarse los dedos a la boca y sacarse un diente . La respuesta de Valen fue un gruñido cuando yoayudó a Kalen a ponerse de pie . El sonido de huesos rompiéndose llegó a mis oídos cuando escuché a Valen moverse detrás de mí . Manteniendo agarrado a Kalen , que se ta mbaleaba sobre sus pies , nos dirigimos hacia su auto y saqué las llaves de su bolsillo . _y abrió su coch e para él .

“ Estoy bien , querida . _ _ Ve a ver cómo está mi hijo — siseó , cayendo pesadamente en su asiento . _ _ Con un asentimiento , me giré para encontrar que Vale n había regresado a su auto .

“ Valen ? “ Llamé , y él se giró para mirarme mientras caminaba hacia él . _ _ _ La mirada que me dio m e hizo detenerme .

“ Sabías , sabías y no dijiste nada ” , dijo y mordió el lado interior de mi labio y asintió . _ El dolor brilló en sus ojos cuando Valen miró el Hotel .

” Ella te dio este lugar , ¿ no ? ” _ preguntó . _

Mis labios temblaron cuando volvió su mirada hacia mí . _ ” Ella reconoció a tu hijo ” , le dije , y él respir ó hondo . _ _ _ _ _

” Deberías habérmelo dicho ” , dijo , y pude sentir su desgarramiento , la tristeza por una pérdida que en realidad no perdió todo . _ _ _ _ _ _

esos años , el sentimiento de hundimiento de que lo traicioné .

“ Valen , espera . Sólo déjame . _ Se subió a su auto y lo estrelló en reversa, chocando contra el jardín d e ladrillos frente a la oficina principal antes de salir corriendo del camino de entrada . El motor de su coche rugió cuando lo derribó calle abajo .

“ Supongo que eso es lo que querías decir cuando dijiste que empeoraría mucho . _ _ _ _ ” Marcus dijo mientras frotaba mis brazos contra la brisa fresca . _ _ Se detuvo a mi lado con un gemido mientras se frotaba la parte inferior de la espalda , y Kalen se apartó de mí.el espacio de estacionamiento antes de cerrar su ventana .

“ Él te perdonará . _ Es conmigo con quien está realmente enojado ” , dijo Kalen con un suspiro . _ _ As entí y lo vi irse . _ _

Tres días después . La única vez que supe de Valen fue a través de un mensaje de texto . Habían pasado tres días y todavía estaba enojado conmigo . _ _ _ Sabía que pasaba la mayor parte de esos días borracho . Podía sentir el malestar sentado en mi estómago a través deel bono _ De pie frente a la escuela , Valarian y yo esperábamos a que viniera a buscarlo , pero la sen sación a través del vínculo era como si estuviera desmayado y dormido . _ De ninguna manera dejaría ir a mi hijo con él si él _estaba borracho _ Por lo tanto , esperaba que solo fuera culpa mía por no decírs elo antes .

“ ¿Qué hora es ? ” Valarian me preguntó , mirando a ambos lados de la calle en busca del coche de su padre . Recuperando mi teléfono de mi bolsillo , miré la hora y suspiré . _ _ Llegó casi una hora tarde . _

” Vendrá , lo prometió por teléfono ” , dijo Valarian mientras asentía con la cabeza y regresaba al banco que estaba frente a la escuela . _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Me acerqué a él y me senté a su lado . Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Maybe he is in traffic?” Valarian said, fidgeting with his fingers.

“How about we ring him when we get home? Maybe he is busy,

“But he promised he would be here,” Valarian said while looking at me teary–eyed. He had been asking for his father since the morning after the Alpha meeting. Asking where he was and when he could see his father and I kept making up excuses.

“Did you have a fight?” he asked, and I turned to look at him.

“You did. You upset him and made him leave us, didn‘t you?”

“No, he is upset about his mother,” I tell him, and his eyebrows furrow.

“But Nana died years ago?”

“And people stay sad for a long time,” I tried to explain.

“Well, you can take me to him,” Valarian said, hopping up and walking toward the car. I tried to ring Valen on the short walk back to my truck, but he didn‘t pick up.

“I don‘t think he is home. We can try to ring him when we get

back home.”

“No! He promised me. I want to see him. I want my dad!” Valarian screamed at me. Startled at his outburst, I stared at him before pulling myself together and kneeling beside him, wiping the tears that streaked down his cheeks.

“Valarian, I don‘t think you should see him right now. Your father needs time,” I tell him, but he shakes his head.

“What if he needs me, please, Mum! Please,” Valarian begged, and I dropped my head and pinched the bridge of my nose. I sighed before looking back at his big amber eyes filled with tears. “Fine, but we just knock, and if he doesn‘t answer, we g o home,” I tell him, and he nods. Valarian

bounced on his heels excitedly and raced toward my car, climbing in the back and buckling himself in. Jumping into the driver‘s seat, we headed to his Hotel.

The regret I felt upon stepping out of that elevator was instant. No guards stood in the corridor, yet the smell of liquor had Valarian pinching his nose. Grabbing his arm, I tried to steer him back into the elevator when he took off, racing down the hall. I chased after him when he pushed inside the door that was wide open.

“Dad! Dad!” Valarian screams excitedly before he falls silent. Rushing through the door, I could see Valari an standing in the hall, where it opens up to the living room. Valarian looked over his shoulder at me before looking back into the mess. Glass crunched under his shoes as he walked off in search of his Thapa father.

“Valarian, wait,” I called, trying to catch up to him, only to stop when I walked in and saw it for myself. Broken glass lay everywhere, the couches were upturned, and the china was broken, blood spatter was on the walls, and the place looked like it had been burgled. I followed the sounds comi ng from Valarian before finding him standing in the doorway to the bathroom.

“Dad?” Valarian murmured, and I gripped his shoulder only to find Valen passed out on the tiled floor.

“What‘s wrong with him?” Valarian asked, looking around at the mess. I could tell that now he had found his father. He was on the verge of a meltdown as he took in all the mess and the state of him.

“How about I ring Pop, and you stay with him for the night while I look after daddy, okay?” I asked him as he shook. His eyes teared up, and he glanced over at his father on the floor.

His entire body was shaking, and he nodded his head before stepping into the bathroom and leaning do wn to shake his father‘s shoulder. “Dad?” I heard him murmur, and his father groaned but didn‘t wake. Va

larian leaned down and kissed his cheek. Pulling my phone from my pocket, I called Kalen, who said he was on his way over to collect Valarian for me.

Once he had, I walked back into the house before cleaning the place. Furious that he let it get this way, k nowing full well what his son was like. The place was trashed and stunk like a brewery. Sweeping up the glass and mopping the floor, I then walked back into the bathroom. Now that the hall was clear of glass, I dragged him to his room. It took me 20 minutes to lift him onto the bed. He groaned and mumbled but never woke, and by the time I was done, I was absolutely livid. I drove all the way back to the hotel, fuming and snatched the letter and the keys from his mother out of the safe before driving back.

There was no excuse for breaking his son‘s heart as he did. Fair enough, he was pissed at me, but Valarian didn‘t deserve to see him like that, and I also blamed myself for bringing him here. About an hour later, I had found all the liquor bottles in the place and started tipping them down the drain when a hungover Valen stumbled out, bumping into the TV unit and clutching his head in his hands. Ignoring him, I continued pou when he rubbed his eyes.

“Everly?” he questioned, seeming confused before his eyes blew wide.

“What day is it?” he asked.

“Monday, you were supposed to pick Valarian up,” I told him, trying to keep the anger out of my tone. He muttered before h e groaned and clutched his hair, banging on the side of his head with his fists.

“Why are you here?” He asked, staggering to the kitchen counter before falling onto a stool. He dropped his head onto his arms.

“Did you not hear me? You were supposed to pick him up, but

instead we came here and found you passed out on the floor in the bathroom.” his head whipped up from his arms.

“Wait, Valarian was here?” he asked, and I glared at him.

“Yes, you promised him, then he walked into this place looking like a shithole with you drunk,”

“He saw me?” Valarian asked, and the feeling through the bond was guilt and panic as he looked around the room for him.

“Where is he?” he asked, getting up and rushing to his son‘s

room.

“He is not here. Your father has him,” I told him, and he froze before snarling and turning on his heel and s

“You let him take him?” He growled angrily.

“Yes, because he asked for you and you were unavailable. I understand you‘re upset, but don‘t punish you the letter Valarie sent to me for him after her death. Her handwriting was on the front. I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat, and tears pricked my eyes ju her before I turned Around.
