Talia and Meg went on the side to discuss the situation related to the upcoming Council of the Alphas, leaving Cornelia and James to sit on the sofa.

James couldn’t get out of his head what he overheard. “Cora, is it true that one day here is like a month in the Midnight Guardians pack?”

Cornelia confirmed. “It’s the same in my realm.”

James’ eyes lit up. “How about we go there? My father expects me to return in a few days, but we could stay there a few months!”

Cornelia’s mood dropped. After o

    ’Drake?’, Talia called through their private mind-link. ‘What makes you say that I’m a good Alpha?’’I never saw this sphere before, but I heard stories about how it changes color. Not glowing, only changing color, yet you made it glow like a disco ball.’ Drake noticed the shock on the Guardian’s face when he pulled Talia’s hand away from the device. Why did he stop her? Drake had a feeling it was related to the request for Talia to stay behind after the meeting. But Drake didn’t want her to worry about that now. ‘You have no idea how proud I am that you are mine, kitten.’Talia’s breath hitched when Drake’s emotions flooded into her through their mate bond. There was an endless amount of love and acceptance and everything good that exists in this world. She suppressed her desire to jump on him and hold on until the end of time.Alphas Robert and Patrick both smiled while taking their tokens.”Why are you so giddy?”, Alpha Edward asked Alpha Robert dryly. “You lost.”Alpha Robert paus

    Talia glanced at Alpha Edward who stared at her token with a frown, and she asked the Guardian who somehow ended up being the judge there. “If my challenger can participate, so can I. Right?” The Guardian nodded in agreement. “It makes sense.” Talia looked at the Sphere of Power apprehensively. “So, how does this work? Do I just put my hands there, or…?”, her voice trailed, waiting for further instructions. ”Put your hand on the sphere while thinking about the bond with the people who follow you.” Talia would appreciate more details, but the guy didn’t say anything else, so she knew that this was as good as it gets. Talia extended her hand gingerly and focused on the sensation in her chest that was brewing there since she became the Alpha of the Midnight Guardians pack. The cold metal made Talia jolt and she stared at the sphere that didn’t react. ’Liseli? Help!’, Talia panicked after two seconds. Alpha Edward was already snickering victoriously. ’This is all on you, ki

    Talia looked at Drake who was talking with Maddox, Tony, and Cristian in low voices, with their four Betas standing at a respectable distance.Drake wanted to stay by Talia’s side, but Talia told him how that was not a good idea and that he should be with his buddies until Alpha Edward shows his cards.Talia feared that if they were too close, she might reach to hold Drake’s hand or lean on him and that would be a big revelation they were not ready to make yet. She wanted Alpha Edward to believe that she was on her own, isolated, and vulnerable because if he realized that she has the backing, he might retreat for now and hit them later when they are not expecting.Talia believed that they were at an advantage because their enemies didn’t know she was Talia, the mysterious girl from the Summer Solstice festival, the one who went as Drake’s date to Kalina’s Luna announcement ceremony, Drake’s assistant… Drake’s mate.’You believe in me, right?’, Talia’s voice sounded in Drake’s head.’K

    Drake felt pride swelling in his chest at the way how Talia commanded this group of Alphas.She looked at them without shrinking and he really wanted to build the shiniest pedestal in the world and put her on it so that everyone can see how amazing she is.Talia felt Drake’s support washing over her and it reinforced her resolve not to crack.She lifted her chin proudly and said, “I’m not the one to bully people with excessive demands, but considering the amount of trouble I would get if I fail the test, I agree with my Beta. A kneeling apology will suffice.”Seeing that Alpha Edward hesitated, Talia decided to push his buttons. “Why are you not agreeing? A minute ago, you were confident that I’m an impostor who doesn’t belong here. If you are right, there won’t be a need for apologies or…””I agree.”, Alpha Edward interrupted Talia’s chatter.”Good!”, Talia exclaimed. “Now I want to see who else wants me to take this test.””Wait a minute!”, Drake said from the side, making everyone

    Everyone was now openly looking at Alpha Richard and Talia, and they clearly heard Drake spitting out his drink which was followed by snickering from Maddox, Tony, and other people who were there.Alpha Richard glanced toward the bar angrily before looking at Talia. “That’s not what I meant.”Talia looked at the man innocently. “Did I misunderstand? I thought you wanted me somewhere private.””To talk.”, Alpha Richard said irritably.”Riiiiight.”, Talia drawled sarcastically. “Still, I will decline. We are not familiar with each other.” “You are misunderstanding something. I only want to talk.””If it’s just talking, why can’t it be done here?”, Talia responded with a question. “The fact that you want privacy is telling me you are up to no good. I heard about your reputation, Alpha Richard, and I was warned not to be alone with you in places that provide privacy.”Alpha Richard was furious. Talia’s words made him sound like a lecherous man who would go after girls who barely came of

    Caden saw that Drake’s expression was changing and it dawned on him… ‘You can communicate with Talia?’, Caden asked through their pack mind-link.Drake smiled a little. ‘Since marking.’ The second marking, but Drake didn’t want to go into details.Caden never heard of such a thing, but he never saw werewolves glowing either. With Talia, anything was possible. She was just one surprise after another. ‘What does Talia say? Why is she here? Is she really the Alpha of the Midnight Guardians pack?’’I don’t know, Caden. She asked me to trust her.’’And you don’t?’Drake was aware that Talia could probably suppress them all with her aura. However, Drake knew that Talia was a gentle soul, and he knew how vicious some Alphas can be. Other than a few people who were sitting there with him, everyone was waiting for Talia to trip and fall on her face. Alpha Richard was the one who hired mercenaries to snoop about Talia’s identity, and he hated her for the embarrassment he endured at the Lightcla

    In the guestroom… Drake sat in the comfy sofa chair and observed Marcy smugly. She was standing three steps in front of Drake with her hands crossed over her chest defensively. "You wanted privacy, so here we are.", Drake said while waving his hand, gesturing for Marcy to start talking. "Conside

    It was late morning when Drake, Caden, and May arrived at the Red Moon pack. Layla apologized for the absence of her husband. "He is with the scouts who picked up suspicious movements on the eastern border of our territory before dawn. Edward is a hands-on leader and wants to personally ensure we

    ~ The Red Moon pack ~ "Out of the way!", Anna spat angrily while carrying a stack of plates into the kitchen. Talia quickly stepped to the side, not wanting to attract attention. She never understood why Anna or other Omegas are treating her like trash, she is an Omega, just like they are. The o

    "Drive safely.", Stephanie said to Caden when he started the car. The trio would save a lot of time if they went with a helicopter or a plane, but werewolves like to feel the ground below them and won't fly unless it's absolutely necessary. "Be back in three days.", Stephanie added meaningfully.
