Alpha's Regret-My Luna Has A Son novel Chapter 140

Valen POV

We were on the other side of the mountain from where we were meeting up with my father. We were still about an hour away because the storm was making visibility a real bitch.

Dion and a few other men were traveling in the cars behind us as we tried to get to my father. When the mind link opened up, Marcus came through. Stupidly, I opened it, allowing Tatum in on the link, not expecting the news we got.

“How far away are you?”

“About an hour away still, this storm is bloody terrible,” I tell him. 

My windscreen wipers were going a hundred miles an hour, and the road was barely visible, even to my enhanced eyesight. We were going to have a hell of a time finding anything out there if it didn’t blow over soon.

“Your father and John have headed in,” Marcus tells us.

“They were supposed to wait for us,” I growled, annoyed they would be so reckless and enter forsaken territory without backup. My father at least should know better. I know John isn’t in the right headspace at the moment because of Claire, but even he should know better than to be this reckless.

“Yeah, well, your father found Carter’s car and apparently some dried blood not far from it and decided he was sick of waiting,” Marcus says.

“That was the last contact I had with him via the mind link, but I can feel them through the tether, but it’s as if they are both ignoring me now.”

“Pull over,” Tatum snarls. I glanced at him out of the corner of my eyes, ignoring him.

“Okay, have they got their phones?” I ask Marcus.

“Yep, but there is some sort of interference. After ten minutes, I lost them on the app,” Marcus says.

“Valen, pull over!” Tatum snarls, punching my dash when I ignore him. We were still an hour away. What use would pulling over be right now?

“Settle down. We are nearly there,” I tell Tatum, shoving him out of the mind link so I can focus on what Marcus is trying to say to me. I knew he was scared for Macey, but I never expected his next reaction when I didn’t do as he asked.

Moments passed, which felt like hours when I saw his knee bend the wrong way before his shin snapped and fur ran along his busted leg. His scream of agony made me want to throw up when his femur finally snapped, and his leg twisted and shifted with him just as Dion and I reached him. 

Dion and I reached him at the same time, and I went to tackle him but instead, I hit the hard wet ground with a thud when he took off running for the forest surrounding the mountain. Dion grabs my arm, yanking me up, and I curse, looking at the forest to see Tatum disappear into the long grass and trees.

“Shit!” I curse.

“What do you wanna do, Alpha?” Dion asks.

“Get back in your cars. I won’t risk anyone else,” I tell him. I hated it, but Tatum was on his own out there. 

This place was full of forsaken, and I had to look out for my men. Marcus said the other side had been scoped out pretty well, and they hadn’t seen any Forsaken. On this side, however, we had no idea what was out there.

We race back to our cars, and I shake my head, cursing myself for being so stupid and allowing him in the mind-link. Yet I never expected him to jump from a moving car either.
