LOGINDrake leaned closer to Talia, his face hovering an inch away from her left shoulder blade.
"Some of these bruises are quite bad and might need a second layer of cream."Talia flinched when his hot breath splashed against her skin, and she swiftly pulled the bathrobe back up while cursing internally. Why did she allow herself to get carried away like this?Her face was on fire and she was confident that she was blushing profusely."This iTwo 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
Somewhere in the back of Drake's mind was the thought that Elders were about to reach the packhouse at any moment, but Drake was entranced by the scent of Talia's arousal, and he couldn't resist the pull of the bond which told him that his mate has a need, and it was his duty to fulfill it.Drake's tongue darted to moisten his lips before he dove in for a kiss. One, two, three… and his hand moved under the skirt of Talia's dress, over the smooth skin of her thigh, and he smiled into the kiss when she spread her legs to give him easier access.With the tips of his fingers, Drake felt the moisture when he brushed her panties at the cradle of her thighs, and Drake lost it completely when a small sexy moan escaped Talia's lips.Drake picked up Talia and dashed into a nearby room that's used for storage when they have parties, but now it was dark with curtains pulled to block the windows. Other than the tables and chairs arranged in the far end, the room was empty.The impatience with whic
When Talia and Drake got into the dining room for breakfast, the food was already on the table, and Maya and Caden were waiting, both with dark circles under their eyes and big grins on their faces.It was obvious that Betas didn't get any sleep, and they were catching up on intimacy they missed during the days Caden was away.Luckily, one or two nights of missed sleep is nothing much for werewolves.After exchanging greetings, Caden told Drake what he achieved while away, and then they switched to discussions about rogue attacks on the territory of the Dark Howlers pack.Talia listened to all that with interest.She didn't know about her background and since no one bothered to search for her, she assumed that her parents were rogues. By the time she was old enough to ask questions, there was no one who could give her answers, and she didn't dare to ask Alpha Edward or Luna Layla about it.From random stories, Talia concluded that rogues are faceless bad guys who live wildly in caves
Drake was standing in the hallway and eavesdropping on the conversation between Talia and Maya with his ear pressed against the door of Maya's room.Why was it taking so long?Everything Maya said was right, but based on previous experiences, Drake concluded that Talia's reactions are unpredictable, and he didn't pick up any distinct good or bad emotions from Talia through the mate bond, so he was restless.When he heard Talia thanking Maya and exchanging good night wishes, Drake quickly took a few steps back and leaned his shoulder on the wall.Drake stuffed his hands in the pockets of his jeans while hoping that his pose was cool enough.He didn't want to appear desperate.Alphas don't do desperate.Talia stepped into the hallway and paused when she saw Drake.She didn't think that he would wait for her.Her eyes moved over his form, and she was very familiar with the perfect landscape his muscles are forming under those clothes. How can a man be so sexy by just standing there?Thei
Drake and Talia came to the dining room with Drake's arm wrapped around Talia's waist tightly, and during their meal, he didn't let go of her hand.Talia's words that things are not working and that she wanted to leave were still fresh in Drake's mind, and he feared that she will leave him. He needed her touch that comes with sparks of their bond to assure him that she was there, next to him.Yes, Talia agreed to stick around and step in front of Elders as his mate and future Luna, but she agreed to many things before and based on her behavior, Drake concluded that unless she can feel their bond, no matter what he says or does won't make a difference.When Talia feels threatened or at disadvantage, she might leave. He assumed that by creating connections to the Dark Howlers pack, she will be reluctant to leave even if something bad happens, but it seemed that was not the case. That thought was eating him alive.Drake is not a guy who will beat around the bush. He never was. Drake told
~ the Red Moon pack ~ Marcy was reading a book before lunchtime when she heard several quick knocks on the door of her room. Before Marcy could respond, the door opened, and Nora peeked in. "Busy?", Nora asked. Marcy's lips stretched into her well-practiced smile. Ever since Drake left the Red
Keith was timid from the moment Drake showed up in the training center, and things went downhill when Drake announced that there will be a competition to determine Talia's trainer.Keith was confident in his skills, but in this case, he was going against his Alpha. No one wins when he goes against
Keith didn't see the point in competing against Drake when there is no way to win, but Talia's serious expression motivated him to do his best, and with Drake leaving to change clothes, Keith's courage swelled.If he needs to go down, he will do it with his head held high."Come here…", Keith becko
Drake's appearance at the training center caused many eyes to turn toward him.The gym area was fairly filled with only a few machines being free.It was a usual day as many warriors come to train unless there is something else going on. Because warriors were using the equipment, a number of Omegas
