Drake could feel Talia's insecurities and he hoped that his words will give her the boost she needs to stand proud.

"If anyone from the Red Moon pack approaches you, you should treat them the same as you would anyone else. Remember that you grew up with your grandparents and you were never in the Red Moon pack. Even if they say you look familiar, stay cool. They don't have evidence to support any claims about your background. Don't let anyone bully you, Talia, and don't be afraid to stir troubl

    "Lisa? Are you done with food?"Stephanie's voice pulled Lisa out of her stupor and Lisa realized that it was only the two of them at the table.How long was she spacing out?"The others left?", Lisa asked the obvious."Yes. They went to the study for evening debriefing, and the two of us should clean up the table."Lisa's eyes widened like she just heard something outrageous."Why should we clean up? Where are Omegas?" Whenever Lisa was in the packhouse of the Lightclaw pack with Tony, Omegas served Lisa, and when she was in her aunt's house, her aunt did everything. "Omegas left when dinner was ready, as always. They prefer to eat at their home. Normally, I clean up after dinner, but now that you are here, I expect you to help me.", Stephanie said. When she saw that Lisa frowned in disapproval, she urged her. "Come on. You need to do something and collecting plates and putting them in the dishwasher is not a big deal. We will be done in ten minutes."Lisa was not willing. It was no

    Talia explained the number of guests to Drake."You know that Kalina and Tony will bring four people, and Mindy will come with Max." Talia made a pause because Drake frowned at the mentioning of Maddox, and when Drake waved his hand, she continued, "Axel will also come with Tyler and Kai."Drake's frown deepened. "Why is Axel coming?""When I spoke to Mindy, Max was nearby and he was on a call with Axel, and since it's a social visit and Axel has some free time, Axel asked if he can come…", Talia's voice trailed. "It's fine, right?""Right.", Drake said stiffly. Something didn't sound right. If Max was on the call with Axel, how could Axel hear what Talia and Mindy were talking about?But even if Drake accepts that unlikely situation as real, there was the fact that members of the Midnight Guardians pack are not social butterflies; unless there is some official function, they keep to themselves. And Drake still didn't forget Axel's unusual interest in Talia.The more Drake thought abo

    Talia lost track of time while sitting on Drake's lap, using his firm body as a super-luxurious chair that came with the extra service of his fingers running through her hair.She really loved Drake's solid warmth and his addictive scent, but unfortunately, they couldn't stay like that forever.Both of their desks were cluttered, reminding them that they have work to do.Before returning to their duties, Talia had a few questions."Drake?""Hmm?""What will happen to those two women?"Drake didn't care about Ashley or Heather. "Whatever you want. But don't let them go easily. Unless you show them you are in charge, they will see it as a weakness and try again. Even if they don't come at you directly, they will gossip and incite others."Talia wondered, wouldn't they gossip and scheme more if she gives them a hard time?"Do you really expect me to decide on their punishment?""You don't want to?", Drake responded with a question. "They approached you with bad intentions. This is your c

  • The Alpha’s Chosen    C201 - The Perfect Plan Backfired

    Talia's insides were churning as Ashley and Heather took turns in twisting what happened and making Talia appear like a bitter woman who was overreaching.It seemed that Drake called them.Was he curious about what happened?Did he think that she would enjoy watching this show?Heather's brows were furrowed into a concerned expression, and she leaned toward Drake, giving him a full view of her ample cleavage. "When Lia said that you belong to her, we had to warn her that she can't recklessly claim our Alpha. And when we pointed out that she is not marked, she started throwing insults at us…"Caden and Maya exchanged glances and shook their heads. Those two airheads were digging their own graves.Heather was about to say more, but Ashley gave her hand a squeeze, and Heather realized that Drake's expression darkened."Did we do something wrong?", Ashley asked cautiously."What you told me is unsettling.", Drake responded. "Regardless of the status, if a random woman stakes her claim on

    "How much work do you still have for today?", Talia asked Drake while munching on a chicken wing. The meat was tender and very tasty, sweet and tangy with some smokey smell, but with all that sauce, it was incredibly messy."If I could see the end of it, I would be planning a vacation.", Drake said honestly. No matter how much he works, more will come his way. "While on the topic of a vacation, did you think about it? We can go anywhere you want."Talia remembered that Drake said how he will take her on a vacation. The fact that brought it up again meant he was not kidding. Right?Talia could feel the heat in her cheeks increasing, and she hoped that the dark lighting in the restaurant will conceal her blush at least a little bit. "How about a forest? A lake would be nice. Something… private."Drake paused and he stared at Talia while his lips rose into a smile in slow motion. Something else was rising in his crotch area and he shifted a bit to adjust himself. "Private. I like that. T

    Maya and Caden made their way into the packhouse, and they followed their noses into the kitchen.They found a scene of Lisa and Stephanie busying themselves with food.It was unusual to make food at this time. Lunchtime passed and it was still a long way to go until dinner, and this was definitely too much work for a snack.Not to mention that Maya had never seen Lisa holding a spatula and standing in front of the stove."Are we having guests?", Maya asked from the door.The moment Stephanie and Lisa turned toward the door, Maya and Caden realized that something was off.Lisa glanced at Maya and made a face. "It seems that I offended some Omega, and I need to pay for it.""I told you not to call her Omega!", Stephanie hissed at Lisa and then looked at Maya and Caden apologetically. "Talia prepared a meal for Drake, and Lisa helped herself when no one was watching. Drake asked that we remake food so that Talia doesn't notice."Lisa rolled her eyes. She hated working in the kitchen and

    "Well, isn't that a visual treat for us single ladies?", Dawn asked with a sigh while she squinted toward the booth that was hidden in the darkness. "Axel is such an eye candy. I wish I could go there and introduce myself." She eyed Maya not-so-discreetly and Dawn frowned when she saw that Maya ign

    "Are we interrupting?"Talia and Keith looked toward the source of the voice and saw Liam and Pierce.Talia was flustered. Her hands were on Keith's shoulders and they were moving in the middle of the dancing crowd, and she became aware of how close they were. Too close.Liam grinned at the sight o

    "How about you, Beta Maya? Can I interest you in one of my specialties?", Keith offered, and Maya refused him while pointing at her drinks, saying how she has enough.Accepting Keith's offer always comes with the danger of tasting something nasty, and Maya didn't want to risk it tonight.Talia quic
