Drake was about to dismiss Maya from his study, but then he thought of something. "I have a favor to ask."

"Shoot!", Maya responded enthusiastically. Drake promised a vacation, and she was prepared to do any chore or risk him changing his mind.

"I was hoping that tomorrow you can take care of Talia. Show her around the fair, make sure she has a good time."

Maya paused. Her first impulse was to verify if Drake and Talia spent the night together, how Caden told her that morning, but instead, she

    Drake was about to dismiss Maya from his study, but then he thought of something. "I have a favor to ask.""Shoot!", Maya responded enthusiastically. Drake promised a vacation, and she was prepared to do any chore or risk him changing his mind."I was hoping that tomorrow you can take care of Talia. Show her around the fair, make sure she has a good time."Maya paused. Her first impulse was to verify if Drake and Talia spent the night together, how Caden told her that morning, but instead, she asked, "Didn't you take her out for the morning?"Drake didn't deny it. "What does that have to do with tomorrow?"Everything! "Nothing. But I hope you can clarify one thing. Why are you asking me to show Talia around? Out of everyone in this pack, you are the one spending the most time with her." And you are her mate, bozo!Drake understood that Maya is implying how he should be the one showing Talia around. "I will be busy with events and delegations from other packs. Talia will be uncomfortab

  • The Alpha’s Chosen    C76 - Preparations For The Festival

    ~ The Dark Howlers pack ~During their drive home, Talia was in a daze.She couldn't believe that Alpha Drake held her so gently. It was something that she would never imagine as possible, but it happened.The only indicator that they arrived back home was the loss of heat when he let go of her hand to open the door.Talia watched Drake as he walked around the car to reach her side. She placed her hand into his when she exited the car, and just as his heat seeped into her palm, he let go, reminding her again that the magic was gone.Something was stuck in Talia's throat, and she couldn't speak.The sound of Stephanie's voice from the kitchen got Talia's attention, and she moved in that direction robotically.Drake said that he will be working from his office, but she didn't respond. She couldn't.Talia reminded herself that she knew it will be like this. She signed up to hold his hand and give him company, but it's not convenient to do that in front of others so… she needs to suck it

    "Don't leave me, Talia…", Drake murmured. "Don't leave."Drake's words touched Talia's soul in a way she couldn't explain, and the world around them faded. There was no amusement park, no loud music, no cheers nor screams from people taking the rides, no packs and no responsibilities, it was just the two of them, Drake and Talia.Talia remembered their talk on the bench. Drake lost his parents and his friends, and he said that even with that, he was not lonely because she was by his side, and… she left.Talia knows very well how it feels to be alone, without anyone to share good or bad things in life. She remembered how much happiness Olivia brought into her life just by being there and treating her kindly, and how hollow Talia felt when Olivia left the pack.Talia thought that maybe, just maybe, if it's about holding hands and giving company, she can be that someone who will relieve Drake's loneliness, until he finds his Luna.She knew that the more time she spends with Drake, the mo

    Drake was irritated. Those two women didn't show any intention of leaving his side even after he told them that he was waiting for someone.It's not that their presence really bothered him, but their chatter distracted him from looking out for Talia. He saw them like two flies who refused to take a hint and leave.Suddenly, Drake felt uneasy. Actually, he felt uneasy since Talia left him on that bench, but this was serious, like something was really wrong.Drake looked in the direction of the restrooms, where Talia went, and through the crowd, he saw a pair of brown cat ears.He didn't get a good look at the person, but he had a strong feeling that was Talia."Talia!", Drake shouted and moved in that direction, leaving two bewildered women behind him."Talia!" He continued calling, frustrated that the crowd obstructed his view and slowed down his movements.Why was Talia walking away from him? Why can't he find her? Was that her?What if Talia is still in the restroom? Or what if she

    "What's wrong?"Drake's question pulled Talia out of her thoughts, and she realized that she didn't control her expression."Nothing.""Tell me.", he insisted. "I see that something got you upset. You can't say that it's nothing."The sincerity in his voice urged her to speak."I'm sad that you are lonely."Drake cracked a smile. "I'm not lonely. I have you."Talia paused while looking into his icy-blue eyes that spoke volumes she didn't understand and she tried to decipher hidden messages.Is it possible...? Maybe...? What if...?Talia shook her head and dispelled any ambiguous thoughts. Alpha Drake will probably bring the 'wife' joke again, or maybe this time she will be a pet."That's not what I meant.""What did you mean?" He really wanted to know what's going on in her mind.Talia thought for a moment before responding, "I hope that one day you find someone who will be your equal, without hidden agenda.""What if I already found her?"Talia smiled sadly.'If you found her, you wo

  • The Alpha’s Chosen    C72 - Drake’s Unclear Intentions

    In the hallway…Caden stood frozen and blinked a few times while confirming that he saw what he saw: Talia dashing from Drake's room into hers.He normally doesn't come to the third floor, but now Caden climbed there because he wanted to confirm that Drake is awake since Drake told him that he will be out after breakfast, so they had an early start.Of course, Caden would use mind-link, but Drake shut down his side.Caden was not sure why would Drake be unreachable, but now that he saw Talia scarcely dressed coming out of Drake's room, Caden understood what's going on.Caden turned on his heel and went down the stairs with the spring in his step.He opened the door of his room and sashayed toward Maya who was fixing her hair."Is Drake awake?", Maya asked."Mhm", Caden responded with a hum.Maya eyed Caden and she could see that he was nearly bursting from saying something, seemingly important."What happened?""I won the bet."Maya didn't get it. "What bet?""When Talia came here, I

    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'

    After four buildings without any hints of Talia, Drake was frustrated."Are you looking for anything in particular?", Nora asked when she saw Drake spacing out in the middle of the hallway.Drake shrugged and shook his head. He was not sure himself.Nora stepped closer to him and spoke in a sultry

    Drake used mind link to confirm where Caden and May were.The two of them were standing on the side and watching warriors train in a vigorous exercise of holding big logs above their heads and running an obstacle course.Whoever tripped or dropped the log, was punished into doing pushups before bei

    Edward rubbed his temples and continued scolding Marcy, "Didn't you read the information on the Dark Howlers pack I gave you? Unless it's a serious crime, they don't resort to physical punishments. As a Luna, you need to be caring and gentle, not only toward your Alpha but toward every pack member.
