Novels by Great sage

Cassie entered her room (aka the guest bedroom on the second floor where she usually stays when she visits the Dark Howlers pack), and she paced while biting her nails.She understood loud and clear that Drake wanted her out of here, but how can she leave? She just got here!Drake was never ecstatic to see her, but she always played her role of an airhead perfectly. She would ignore his grumpiness and accept any affection, and he never told her to leave. What changed?Cassie got her phone and called her father."Hi, pumpkin…", her father said in a singing voice that doesn't sound like it should belong to a vicious Alpha Richard of the Steelbite pack."Hi, daddy…", Cassie spoke in a whiny voice which told him that something is not right."What happened?""Drake told me to scram."He snorted. "What did you do?""Nothing. Really. Absolutely nothing. I arrived and I wanted to greet him, but he acted like I have a plague or something. He used his Alpha pressure to make me submit and told m

In the dining room, ten minutes ago. Drake was caught by surprise when Talia left with Stephanie. He wanted to go after Talia, and his wolf agreed, but then Cassie appeared at the door and Drake paused. If he goes after Talia, Cassie will notice and target her. 'You were supposed to get rid of Cassie a long time ago!', Drake's wolf growled in his head. 'Sent her packing and go after our mate!' Drake pinched the roof of his nose. 'Cassie is just a fly. But a fly with a hurt ego and big mouth can cause damage. Even if she doesn't know that Talia is my mate, just the fact that I'm treating Talia differently will put a target on her back.' 'So, what is the plan, wise guy?', his wolf asked sarcastically. 'You will pretend that mate is not here until this annoying she-wolf leaves?' 'I can't act differently. Talia's safety comes first.' His wolf snorted in disapproval. 'How about you go and shag every she-wolf in ten miles radius? In that way, no one will suspect you have a mate.' Dr

"Based on your reaction, I can guess Alpha Drake didn't tell you that you will be staying in his old room." "His old room?", Talia repeated robotically. "Don't you have any other room to give me?" Stephanie shrugged. "Don't look at me, girl. I'm just following orders. Come inside and see how you like it." "You traveled the whole night, and then went to the hospital. I guess you want to shower and rest, right?" Talia nodded at Stephanie's words while observing the room and her sight stopped at the intricate woodwork on the mantle that surrounded a massive fireplace. "Uhm… they didn't bring any suitcase for you. Do you have any clothes?", Stephanie asked. "I had clothes wrapped in a bedsheet. That was in the trunk.", Talia said. "Give me a second.", Stephanie lifted her finger, indicating to Talia to wait, and she mind-linked May. 'Did you bring T

A blissful smile appeared on Talia's face as the buttery waffle with a hint of vanilla melted in her mouth together with the sweetness of the plum jam. 'Caden told me that this girl is different, but only now I realized how much…', Stephanie's voice reached Drake through the mind-link. Drake guessed that Stephanie was alluding to the way he helped Talia with food. 'There is nothing wrong with me helping the girl out.', Drake said and took a sip of coffee nonchalantly. 'I never said that it's wrong.', Stephanie immediately responded. It was not wrong, but Drake never took a personal interest in any of the new members. Stephanie knew that Drake waited for Talia at the pack hospital, gave her his old room on the third floor, and now served her food. This was unheard of. Stephanie was not considering the possibility that Drake had romantic feelings

Drake and Talia emerged from the last line of trees and Talia shrunk at the sight of the neat lawn and the mansion.Little by little, her steps became smaller, and her face was filled with reluctance.Talia understood that this is the packhouse, and things like a packhouse didn't bring happy memories.The packhouse at the Red Moon pack was a place where she was fine only while hiding. In the forest, she was happy, and she didn't want to go back to the attic."This will be your home, Talia.", Drake announced and tugged her hand to start moving.'Her home?', Talia wondered if she heard him right.She knew that Drake lives there, and probably Caden and May and any other high-ranking members of the pack. But what about her? She is a nobody.Talia forced herself to stay present and to observe her surroundings. It will come in handy if she needs to flee.In terms of size, the packhouse was bigger than the one at the Red Moon pack.They came from the side, but Drake led the way toward the ma

"Are you alright?", Drake asked Talia when they exited the pack hospital."Yes, thank you, Alpha Drake.", Talia responded.Drake cocked an eyebrow at her. "Did you forget already?"She looked at him questionably, and he said, "Just Drake. Say it."Talia glanced around, to make sure no one overhears them. He is the Alpha, and she should listen to him, but if anyone else hears that she is addressing him casually, she might end up in trouble.Everyone they met so far addressed Drake respectfully with his title, and Talia learned a long time ago that standing out is not a good thing."Drake."He smirked victoriously. "Do you want to walk, or should I get a car? The packhouse is about fifteen minutes walking from here if we cut it straight through the forest."She was not sure why he was giving her a choice. "Anything is fine.""Then, let's take a walk. I got stiff after so much time in the car, so it will be good to stretch legs…"…Talia followed after Drake, elated to be surrounded by t
