LOGIN"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
Lisa turned toward the door when she heard Talia's voice."Are you the new girl?", Lisa asked.Talia smiled a little. "I guess I am. My name is Talia. Stephanie told me about you.""Mom told me about you also.", Lisa said and observed Talia who was putting knives and carefully pushing forks and napkins so that they are perfectly aligned with just the right amount of space between them."Are we having a guest for lunch?", Lisa asked.Talia paused. "No. Why?"Lisa shrugged. "I see you arranged a second plate next to Drake's so I assumed that person must be important."Talia wanted to say how that's her spot, but she held her words back. She didn't want to make it sound how she was boasting. Drake should arrive in a minute, and Lisa will either leave or see them so… Talia decided not to comment."Did you have lunch?", Talia asked Lisa."I don't eat much lately."Talia understood that this might be related to Tony finding his mate (aka Kalina). "I heard what happened. I'm sorry you had to
Drake's lips stretched into a big smile. There was only one explanation for a hickey that disappeared mysteriously. "Your wolf healed it.""You think so?", Talia asked nervously."I know so. Without your wolf, it would take days for that hickey to completely disappear, and your neck is clean. I think she will wake up soon." Drake wrapped Talia in his arms and pulled her to lean on him.He really wanted her wolf to awaken as soon as possible. Right now, would be perfect. With Talia's wolf present, Talia would be confident they are mates and belong together, and he will take care of everything else.Talia snuggled into Drake's embrace and stuffed her face in the crook of his neck, taking a deep breath of her favorite scent that made her dizzy.Talia didn't want to think about her wolf. Doctor Travis explained to Talia how nothing is certain and that even if there is some improvement, it could be temporary, and it doesn't mean it will go all the way.If her wolf awakens, it would be anot
Two Elders realized that there is much more to Talia than they thought.Now that Drake mentioned it, they recognized Talia as the girl who was the team spirit at the tournament. The whole soccer team was kneeling in front of her and people cheered. It was quite a spectacle.They also heard warriors praising a mysterious medicine that was super secretive.Two elders were not familiar with the tribute from the Steelbite pack, but Drake wouldn't deceive them with something that can be easily proven.On top of all that, Drake mentioned the Moon Goddess.But even with all that, how could Elder Samson and Elder Charlie give up easily?By helping Marcy become the Luna of the Dark Howlers pack, these two will definitely be close to Alpha and Luna, no matter how Drake feels about them. Marcy will be grateful that they are on her side and she will use her womanly charms to sway Drake, and the Elders could become Alpha's advisors again. With that, their influence in the pack will increase.At th
Elder Samson spoke seriously, "In the absence of a fated mate, Marcy from the Red Moon pack is the next best choice. Even if you have urges to sleep around, be discrete about it. You should do what's best for the pack."Drake released a slow breath. Here they go again with the story of how they want what's best for the pack.What about what's best for Drake? Of course, they wouldn't care.A decade passed, yet these two Elders still looked at Drake like he is a child that can be used for their own agenda.If this was before, Drake would tell them to scram and not to return unless they want to challenge him to a duel, but this time it was different. Now he had Talia, and Drake needed to turn the tables and make Elders serve him. As much as Drake didn't put Elders in his eyes, their influence was undeniable, and he didn't want them to create waves against Talia once her role as the Luna becomes public knowledge."What makes you think that Marcy is the next best choice?", Drake asked. "M
When they reached the master bedroom after training, both Drake and Talia needed a shower. Talia was nervous while thinking that Drake will ask her to shower together. After all, they were sharing a room and a bed and Stephanie said that the lunch was in only fifteen minutes. Drake Talia was g
A phone call interrupted Drake's and Talia's make-out session.Drake groaned in frustration. Who is calling this early? It's not even time for breakfast!"Answer it, kitten.", Drake spoke into her lips before giving her another quick kiss."Me?", Talia breathed while blinking herself into reality.
Talia's smile stiffened, making it crooked like it was drawn by a toddler.Did Drake say that he will take her with him to another pack? To an official party?There will be other Alphas and important people! How can she go? She has no idea what to wear or how to apply makeup or how to behave, she w
Talia stirred from sleep and refused to open her eyes because she didn't want to end a marvelous dream.In that dream, Drake carried her to his bed, and then he held her, and they kissed, and then they got ready for the night with Drake giving her his t-shirt to sleep in. She went to change clothes
