ANMELDENDoctor Travis arrived shortly after Talia, and he sat at the table with some other important people from the pack.Dinner was served and the sound of utensils clinking over low murmurs filled the space.Kalina and Maya chatted in a lively atmosphere with Tatiana adding to it occasionally.Tony and Caden enjoyed watching their mates having fun, and Maddox was totally focused on Tatiana and making sure that she always had food and drinks in front of her.Dawn and George were in their own bubble, feeding each other and talking in whispers, like they had no idea werewolves surrounded them and how anyone who paid attention could hear their naughty talk.At one glance, the atmosphere at the largest table was harmonious. However, Talia could feel Drake's anxiety building up with every passing minute, and there were occasions when Talia noticed that Maya and Caden were also alerted. Maddox, Tatiana, Tony, Kalina, George, and Dawn seemed carefree, but neither of them was totally relaxed.Drak
George led the way toward the largest table in the event hall where Drake was sitting with Maya, Caden, Maddox, Tanya, Tony, and Kalina.The table next to it had Paul, Nate, and Greg sitting with three Generals of the Dark Howlers pack, and a table further down was with James, Petra, Erik, and Zack.Other tables were occupied by the Elders and some other important people from the Dark Howlers pack.George kept two plates with food on the table and pulled a chair for Dawn to sit.Dawn gingerly took a seat and looked at the lineup at the table. She really wished for Talia to be there.The truth was that even George was surprised when Drake invited them to sit at his table. George assumed that they will be seated with Paul, Nate, and Greg because, based on rankings, that's where he belonged.This seating upgrade confirmed George's suspicion that Drake knew about his real identity as the Alpha, and he had a strong hunch how tomorrow's talk with Drake will address that topic."You must be
LElder Patsy and Elder Thomas were irritated that Drake invited them to a party without any set agenda, and then he left them to their own devices to guess the reason why they were here, and no one confirmed or denied the relevance of Marcy.Alpha Drake was sitting at the table leisurely and ignoring his guests.Dawn showing up here all dressed up was the trigger to make them go and vent some of their frustration. How can a plain Omega join a party with Elders and act like she belongs there?But now that Drake revealed she was Commander George's mate, Dawn was not just an Omega. This was serious.Elder Patsy and Elder Thomas were not sure what to do."Will you apologize? Or are you expecting me to do it in your place?", Drake asked two Elders stiffly. "If Commander George doesn't feel your sincerity, I will need to ask you to leave. As a host, I can't allow my guests to be uncomfortable, and tomorrow he will decide on how to deal with this. I believe that we all agree on the point of
"You should put those closer together…", Dawn said when she approached Zina.Zina turned to see behind her, to make sure it was not just her imagination. "Dawn."Zina was really happy to see her friend. They saw each other earlier that afternoon when Zina brought things to Dawn, but that was only briefly with George around. Dawn and Zina were together most of the time, so this day-long separation felt like forever."You look stunning."Dawn smiled. "You think? Thank you for the dress."If Zina didn't bring her the dress, Dawn wouldn't have anything to wear. And Zina brought her more than just a dress. She brought a carry-on with several changes of clothes and toiletries, and Zina did that by rushing to Dawn's apartment while potatoes were in the oven. Ivy and Lily made sure nothing burned until Zina came back.Zina shook her head. "It's not about the dress. It's you, D. You are glowing."Dawn smiled until her cheeks hurt. She was happy.Zina had so many questions, but she knew that th
With his uneasiness increasing, Drake was contemplating to meet Talia in front of the packhouse. They would sit in a car, drive into the night, and never look back.Even Drake's wolf thought how escaping might be a good idea. The old beast was always advising him to take care of his pack, so this change in priorities confirmed that their current situation was not good.With Marcy's bad condition worsening, Alpha Edward will definitely use it as leverage against Drake. In addition to that, the power struggle among Elders and many others who were not present at the party was never-ending and it was draining him physically and emotionally.If Drake followed the well-established practices (which his father abandoned), the only woman with qualifications to be an Elder was Stephanie. She was not a Beta, but her mate was a Beta and she definitely contributed to the pack as Luna Violet's confidant, and as a person Drake could rely on. Ironically, she didn't want it.When Drake took over as th
Elder Agatha gritted her teeth and lowered her head in front of James. "Again, I apologize, future Alpha James. I know what I did wrong.""Do you?", James asked, his voice full of arrogance. "I hope you do. If this repeats, Alpha Drake and my father will hear about it. You may leave."Elder Agatha turned around and walked away while sulking.The truth was that she didn't know why James showed hostility. She only asked when Marcy will come down to the party. But then… Elder Agatha knew that those young Alphas have no respect for Elders, and every next generation was worse than the previous one.With her peripheral vision, Elder Agatha could see mocking glances directed her way. Of course, these were werewolves, and even though they were not close, they could clearly hear what was said, as long as they were paying attention.She knew that none of them sympathized with her. Why would they? If she was down, it meant they have one less Elder to compete with. Scoundrels!At the table with f
Marcy mused that she and Nora should have at least something in common. If nothing else, based on Nora's shiny hair and flawless skin, the two of them can talk about hair and makeup, and Nora's outfit was branded as well."I don't need anything.", Marcy said. "But you are welcome to come in if you
