ANMELDENDrake looked at Talia with sparkles in his eyes and his heart expanded from happiness.She knows.Finally.But why was she frowning? What's up with those negative emotions?"Kitten? What's wrong?""Are you sure this is not a mistake?"Drake shook his head at the silly girl. "There is no mistake, kitten. We are mates. My wolf told me even before I saw you.""So… you knew we were mates when you came to the attic in the Red Moon pack?""Yes.""And when we met in the kitchen before that?""Yes.", he responded reluctantly, hoping that she won't bring up their encounter before that one because it involved Macy sucking him off.Of course, Talia didn't want to think about Marcy between Drake's legs, even though that image flashed in her mind."And that's why you brought me to your pack?", Talia asked."OUR pack.", Drake corrected her before adding, "It was either you come here, or I move in with you to the attic. You must admit that this is more comfortable."Talia was not sure what to do wit
When Drake told Travis that Talia shouldn't wake up, Travis understood it as: Drake had no intention to move.How on Earth was he supposed to check his injuries?Without any other options, Travis got scissors and started cutting the bandages.The moment Drake's skin was exposed, Travis frowned in confusion, and then his eyes nearly bulged in disbelief."What is it?", Drake asked when he noticed that Travis was not moving."The wound… it's gone.", Travis said.Drake didn't think much about it. "You did a good job and I heal fast."Travis didn't deny that he did a good job, but… "No one heals this fast."This was not the first time for Travis to patch up Drake. Drake has a history of brawls that left him in need of medical assistance, and he also faced rogues many times.Even with Drake's Alpha healing, Travis expected it will take days for the wounds to completely heal. Considering that wolfsbane was involved, it was very likely that a Drake won't be able to avoid scars, but... there w
Talia reached to hold Drake's hand again, and the same zap prickled her fingers.She was startled the first time, but now she didn't jolt away, and the contact lasted for a second before she retracted her hand and observed it.There were no visible changes on her skin.Was it static electricity? Was it due to medications she got? Or maybe that blow to her head rewired her brain?Whichever it was, Talia wanted to feel it again.She held Drake's hand and closed her eyes as the delightful sparks traveled up her arm and seeped into her body, making her feel alive.It was addictive.Without knowing how or when, Talia climbed onto Drake's bed, on his right, and she scooted under the thin cover that concealed his body from the waist down.Talia leaned against Drake's body gently, careful not to disturb his wounds, eager to experience this tingling sensation wherever they touched.Drake was wrapped in many bandages from the neck down, leaving only some gaps of his skin exposed, and Talia was
Maya pushed the wheelchair with Talia on it, and Doctor Travis opened the door that was guarded by two warriors.Caden stood up from the sofa when he saw the trio entering and he asked Talia how she was doing, but she didn't hear him because her whole world was reduced to Drake who was lying on the bed with bandages covering his body and various machines attached to him.Talia couldn't accept that the most handsome man in the world who would smile at her, tease her, and make her days better was now unmoving and it was all her fault.Drake did so much for her, yet she ended up disobeying him and going into the forest. He told her to stay safe. He told her that there are rogues and that it's dangerous. She didn't take him seriously and because of that, he was hurt.Talia vividly remembered the knife in his stomach and the whimper when the bullet hit him, yet he still glared at the evildoers with an unwavering gaze.Will he forgive her? Will she forgive herself?The sound of the door clo
Talia's vision was blurry, and she struggled to stay conscious as the voices mixed like they came from a great distance with a slight echo."Don't kill her!""I was just teaching her a lesson.""Give me something to tie her up!"Talia felt a rough palm gliding up her thigh, squeezing occasionally. She tried to wiggle away, but someone was holding her arms together in a vice-grip, while another one was sitting on her legs, just above knee level. Based on the sickening chuckle, whoever was molesting her, was enjoying her futile struggle. "We don't have time to fool around."The palm was gone."Keep your voice down and hurry up. We need to leave quickly…""Do you think Alpha Drake will pay for her?""Even if he doesn't, she definitely knows something useful.""Will she talk?""They always talk…"The rogues used some cloth to cover Talia's eyes, and she felt the tugging as they were pulling her arms above her head.Talia knew she was trapped, but how can she give up?If they take her awa
Talia's steps slowed down after an unknown measure of time when she noticed through the gaps in bushes and trees that someone was standing in the distance.Talia thought it's one of the patrols, and if she avoids them, she might appear suspicious, so she continued moving straight, without altering her path.A few steps later, Talia confirmed it was four men and she slowed down as she realized that something was off.The warriors are usually patrolling in wolf form (Drake told her that), and even if they are in human form, they would be dressed in dark gray t-shirts while these guys wore green and brown-ish patterns that provided camouflage in the forest.Talia bent slightly, hiding behind nearby bushes while focusing on four men who were talking in whispers and looking around nervously.Her eyes widened when the breeze brought the words, "Avoided… Did you find… We don't have much time..."Talia's heart thundered. Rogues.Drake said they would sneak into their territory, but she never
Drake and Caden returned to the VIP lounge and saw that the mess was cleaned up and a new table was in place with snacks and drinks like nothing happened.Their talk didn't solve anything, but the fact that Drake shared his (not) secret with Caden (and in extension with Maya also) that Talia is his
In the VIP lounge...Drake watched the scene on the field.Talia was with a bunch of guys around her, they were taking turns in kneeling and kissing her hand, and Drake felt like someone was wrenching the heart out of his chest. It was the most painful thing Drake experienced in his life and he tho
Talia observed that both Keith and Travis were serious and focused on their tasks and she glanced at Liam who was sitting on the stretcher and watching the game with a frown on his face.It seemed that everyone had a task they were passionate about, and Talia hoped that one day she will also have s
In the VIP area…The unease in Drake's chest was increasing by the minute and the only thing that prevented him from flipping the table with all the drinks and snacks was that he was surrounded by Alphas and other high-ranking individuals from neighboring packs, and if he makes a spectacle, they wi
