Drake climbed to the attic faster than the wind and his lips curved into a smile when he inhaled the scent of freesia he was craving for.

The girl was there.

He stared at the closed door in front of him and took a moment to compose himself.

Drake thought how he went all around the Red Moon pack's properties in search of the girl. Why didn't he think of checking the packhouse thoroughly?

He already knew that the girl was not in the common buildings because she came to the kitchen in the pack

    "So, now that you are at the Dark Howlers pack, what are you doing?", Mindy asked Talia."I'm helping in the kitchen."Mindy cocked an eyebrow. "Alpha Drake put you to work right away?""No, no.", Talia quickly said. "I asked to work in the kitchen because I wanted to learn how to cook. Besides, sitting in the room the whole day is boring." Seeing that Mindy's expression showed approval, Talia had an urge to leave a good impression, so she added, "I'm also studying about medicine with the hope to work in the pack hospital, and I'm training to improve my physical condition and learn to fight.""Really?"Talia nodded earnestly and gestured toward the table where Keith was. "Keith is my personal trainer.. He designed an exercise routine for me. We will be going to the training center from here…""Oh, you will not stay at the festival?", Mindy interrupted Talia. She was looking forward to being part of a group.Sure, there are Sandy, Lulu, Pierce, Liam, and Caden, but all of them are look

  • The Alpha’s Chosen    C105 - A Friend?

    Drake left with Maddox and Axel in order to attend meetings with other Alphas in the packhouse.Neither of the three men was willing to leave.Drake wanted to stick close to Talia, and Maddox and Axel wanted the same, for different reasons.Both Maddox and Axel had their agenda why they wanted to get close to Talia, yet Drake showed up and hogged Talia's attention during the whole lunch.Maddox and Axel understood that if they want to get close to Talia, they need to remove Drake as a variable.Mindy was not eligible to attend the meeting because she is not an Alpha (or a future Alpha). She didn't want to linger in the boring packhouse when there was a festival going on, so she stayed behind.When Drake took the trophy, Talia also gave him the bag with the jersey and pins. The only thing she kept for herself was the insulated bag that Stephanie prepared for her.. Talia was confident that she will get to eat that food, eventually.Talia wanted to join the table where Keith and others w

  • The Alpha’s Chosen    C104 - Ramen (2)

    Drake saw that Maddox was leaning toward Talia and he didn't like it.Drake decided to put him in his place."Talia…", Drake called. "Based on the coach's speech, I understood that you played a significant role in showing others how they are not a match for us. Especially the Blue River pack who didn't even reach the semifinals."Maddox's expression darkened. Was there a need to call out his team? There were several other teams who failed to reach the semifinals!Drake's hand snaked around Talia's waist, and he pulled her closer to him (and away from Maddox).Talia's insides were a mess. What was Drake doing? Any closer and she will end up sitting in his lap!When their hips connected and her bottom stopped gliding over the bench, Drake released Talia and she nervously looked up at Drake only to see him glaring at Maddox.."Maybe losers should focus on training their team until the next tournament instead of scheming to poach my people."Maddox was not sure why Drake turned unpleasant

  • The Alpha’s Chosen    C103 - Ramen (1)

    Talia stood in front of the stand that Lulu's father (aka chef Page) opened, and she looked at the menu, grateful that it came with pictures.From there, Talia understood that ramen is noodles that come in a broth, and it can have various toppings.The pictures showed some options like the one called "ramen-blast 1" that was pork in a spicy broth with egg, corn, and green onion; "ramen-blast 2" was chicken in a regular broth with egg, edamame, and mushrooms.Besides ramen-blasts (how chef Page called them), there was also an option to build your own ramen where anything goes.There were options of regular or spicy broth, with meat, three toppings, and pickles included in the price. Additional toppings were available for an extra $2 each."What goes well?", Talia asked Keith who was peering at the menu over her shoulder.Keith was about to answer, but Lulu was faster, "Don't ask him. For Keith, anything goes well.."Talia stifled a giggle. Keith's reputation as a crazed mixologist was

  • The Alpha’s Chosen    C102 - The Summer Solstice Festival (9)

    When Drake's tournament-closing speech was over, people started leaving the sports fields and making way toward the town square where the next festivities will be held. Some people went into stores and restaurants that were still open and accepting customers.Talia was happy that she got a bag to keep her pins and the jersey. She also removed the fluffy gloves and the headband. Keith told her that those are hers to keep, and she can return them when she gives up on being the team spirit. Unfortunately, the trophy was too big to fit in the bag, but the insulated lunchbox that Stephanie prepared for Talia fit perfectly.With all the drinks and snacks that were everywhere, Talia didn't touch the food from the lunchbox, but she was confident that it will not go to waste. She will have it later.Talia was standing on the side with Lulu and Sandy. They were waiting for the guys to join them so that they can head for lunch together, as they previously agreed. Lulu was telling everyone how he

  • The Alpha’s Chosen    C101 - The Summer Solstice Festival (8)

    Talia moved to the center of the playing field gingerly while trying to ignore the fact that there are hundreds (or maybe thousands!) of people staring at her.Her heart was pounding so hard that she pressed her lips into a line firmly, out of fear that her heart might escape through that cavity if she speaks."We don't have much time between kicks, so we need you nearby.", Keith explained when Talia reached them. "The referee said that it's fine."Talia jolted when Pierce held her hand and she couldn't believe that he was getting on his knees.Pierce was the first in the queue to kick the ball from the penalty mark."Do we need to do this here?", Talia asked Keith in an urgent whisper."You will be fine.. I'm counting on you.", Keith said while patting her shoulder and then he jogged out of the field.Talia looked at Keith's retreating back and she felt like crying.On the bench was one thing, but this was in the middle of the field, and all non-participating players left, leaving Ta

    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 C

    Talia sat stiffly next to Drake and observed him while he held her hand, the same one he licked earlier that morning.She remembered his grimace after tasting the bitter herbal paste and she pressed her lips into a line while preventing a smile from showing on her face. It was comical. She never th

    As much as Drake enjoyed this newfound feeling, he couldn't ignore Talia's injuries. The scent of dried blood disturbed the sweet citrusy scent of freesia, telling him that she was not OK.Drake took Talia's hand in his and observed a cut that was on top of a nasty bruise. It was scabbing, but it s
