تسجيل الدخولDrake thought about how to respond to Keith’s question. Were the guards even needed?Part of Drake hoped that Talia had a matchmaking ability. Then, Keith will find his mate in the Midnight Guardians pack or among witches, and the wretched Coach will stay there and be out of Drake’s hair forever. Ah, but then he will lose a Lieutenant and a guy who would put his life on the line to protect Talia and... Drake struggled to keep his jealous beast in check.Drake reminded himself that this was business where he was an Alpha talking to his Lieutenant, and not a husband who was looking at his love rival. Love rival? How can a puny Coach be a rival to an Alpha? Keith had no chance. This thought made Drake happy and his lips stretched into a smile that sent shivers down Keith’s spine and he fought mightily against his instinct to flee."This trip will be for you to learn about the environment where Talia is, and about the people she is working with. Unless something unexpected happens", like
Talia started talking to Keith about the Midnight Guardians pack and how they are in a different realm that can be accessed through a portal.Keith had a question that was burning him since he found out about that pack, "How come no one discovered the portal?""They tried.", Talia responded. Axel was telling her about it when she was there. "Portal is surrounded by a natural maze and traps. Paths are enchanted to lead you away from it and energies are preventing electronic devices from working properly. Due to the terrain, the only way to reach it is on foot and unless you know the way, you will find yourself walking in circles. And even if you are right in front of it, you might miss it. It’s fantastic, you will see."Talia told Keith about different passing of time, and how through there they can reach the portal to the realm of witches. She warned him to be cautious of his behavior because the Midnight Guardians pack is aware of the human realm (how they call it), but the witches w
Maya waved with the paper in her hand. "Lisa is also on the list."Dawn inhaled audibly. "Are you saying that Lisa found a mate? Who is that unfortunate soul?""I don’t know.", Maya said, obviously displeased by this. "I was making calls to congratulate newly mated couples and to inquire if they will need help with relocations, or maybe a new place to stay because some of them were in single-bedroom apartments. That’s when Steph told me that Lisa found her mate and she went with him. Steph didn’t know more than that."Talia’s brows came together as her instincts told her that something was wrong.She should be happy for Lisa. Didn’t this mean that Lisa’s negativity will end? But after remembering Lisa’s attitude that got her into the dungeon, Talia couldn’t relax. She looked at Drake. "Can you use your connection to the pack and find out who he is?"Drake’s eyes lost focus for a moment, and then he shook his head. "Lisa shut down her mind-link, or she is far away, and I can’t reach he
"You can sit on my lap, and I will show you how to press the pedals and steer the car.", James said like it was a totally normal thing.Cornelia was curious about driving, but she was not sure about sitting on his lap. Will there be space for her to sit? And how can she focus on anything if her behind is on his thighs? Won’t that be too intimate?Cornelia wanted to do many things with James, but first, she wanted to know, "Where are we going?""To have fun. Just the two of us."He took her hand into his and kissed the back of her palm, pleased that she was not pulling back."Cora, do you trust me?", he asked."About?"James shook his head. "You were supposed to say, yes, but I understand. I disappointed you too many times. From now on, I will not give you a single reason to doubt me.""You didn’t tell me where we are going."James inched closer without breaking eye contact. "Tell me, Cora. Tell me, honestly, does it matter where we are going?"Cornelia blinked rapidly. Why was he so c
Drake chewed in slow motion while looking at James with a blank expression.James requested a car and not to be disturbed. That was not a problem, but Drake didn’t want to respond right away.One second, two, Drake could see James’ impatience growing. Four seconds, five, six... Drake jolted when Talia pinched his thigh under the table."Alright.", Drake said and then he cocked an eyebrow at Talia while speaking to her through their mind-link. ’Why did you do that?’’Why did you delay?’, Talia responded with a question. ’Don’t you see that they are having a conflict? Help him pacify Cornelia, and he will be indebted to you.’’If I help him right away, he won’t appreciate it.’, Drake said. ’While he is waiting for my answer and sweating, he is thinking about what will happen if I don’t cooperate, and the fact that he won’t need to go through THAT will make him indebted to me.’Talia stared at Drake while processing his words. He was right. It was so simple, yet she didn’t see it. James
Lulu’s brows came together in a frown as she looked at Keith who was avoiding to meet her eyes."Are you rejecting me?", Lulu asked."Do you need me to spell it out?"Lulu clicked her tongue impatiently. "This is about Talia, isn’t it?"Keith frowned. "Not everything is about Talia, Lulu.""You started avoiding me when she appeared."Keith wished that they didn’t have this conversation, but his silence would confirm her words. "That’s not true. What we had ended a long time ago. I told you that I won’t be involved with my subordinates."Why did Lulu bring this up now? They had a few dates (and sex) about two years ago. He never promised her anything, they were not exclusive, and once he was promoted to a Lieutenant, Keith told Lulu (and other she-wolves that were involved with him) that he won’t be getting romantically entangled with warriors.In the end, they were all waiting for their fated mates, and if it was not with a mate, it was temporary fun, physical release, and almost anyo
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.
Marcy's mind was a mess after receiving the news that tomorrow she will meet Drake, the Alpha of the notorious Dark Howlers pack, aka her future husband. She still didn't recuperate from the event of finding (and rejecting) her mate, yet now she needs to think about another man. And this was not j
