LOGINAt Drake's rising hostility, Talia had to remind him, 'He is just a child.'She turned to greet Ashton, who was running toward her.Talia smiled at Ashton. He looked super-cute with whiskers drawn on his cheeks."Hi, Ashton. Are you having fun?"Ashton grinned. "I am now." He threw a side-glance at Drake. "Thank you for watching over my Luna, uncle Drake."Two elderly people approached them with urgency. Those were Luna Michelle's parents. The old man stopped a few steps away, but the woman stood next to Ashton."We are sorry that Ashton is disturbing you," Ashton's grandmother said apologetically."There is nothing to be sorry about," Talia said. "Ashton is a wonderful child, and I enjoy his company."Ashton looked at his grandparents. "Why are you apologizing? I did nothing wrong. I came to talk to my future Luna."Ashton's grandmother glanced nervously at Drake. "You can't claim Luna Talia as yours, Ash. She is Alpha Drake's Luna."Ashton's little brows came together as he looked
Jane followed after Talia, away from the fair. They didn't go far, just enough for them to talk without shouting. Actually, Talia did all the talking as Jane was looking at her shoes and not saying anything."Is this your first time at the fair?" Talia asked Jane.Seeing that Jane didn't respond, Talia continued, "I heard that you are not interested in going to the fair to play. Is it because you want to stay with Chef Page and help him?"Jane nodded faintly."Ah, I understand," Talia said dramatically. "Sometimes, you want to have fun, but you must work."Jane raised her head to look at Talia quizzically.Talia puffed her cheeks. "To be honest, I'm feeling down lately, and I don't want to have fun. If it were up to me, I would stay in my bed all day and hope no one would disturb me. But I had to come here as it didn't seem right that I relax while everyone else was working. The one who wants to have fun is Cinna."Jane's eyes fell on a plush toy that Talia was cradling in her arms li
Talia looked in the direction where Drake went, and she could see the crowd parting to make way for him."What are you looking at?" Mindy asked.Talia shook her head. She didn't want to admit that she was eyeing if any female would be foolish enough to get close to her man. Talia was done being intimidated or polite when it came to shameless women. Drake was mated and marked, and he was Talia's!Talia saw chef Page preparing two bowls of ramen with extra care, and she noticed one more figure by his side passing him things as he extended his hand. They worked without a word spoken. It was a female child, around ten years old.Talia could sense that the child was not from the Dark Howlers pack, and what stood out in this mass of smiles was that the girl was not smiling. Her expression held a sadness that was kept in. It was uncharacteristic for such a young child.Talia remembered that Mindy and Tatiana collaborated that people from the Blue River pack shelters to help with the fair, an
Talia was on cloud nine.Walking among the lively crowd and stalls with Drake by her side brought back happy memories of the Summer Solstice festival, but this was better. This time, Drake was not holding her hand. His arm was on her shoulder, holding her close to him, and her arm was around his waist. Everyone could clearly see they were a couple.Talia was not an invisible girl anymore. Many people greeted her with big smiles and small bows, and vendors offered them free samples.Drake stopped at a food stall with grilled meat skewers. Talia looked dreamily at the Alpha, who was making sure they got two skewers for each sauce flavor available.Drake's hands were full when he turned to look at her questionably. "Do you want to eat here, or should we find a spot to sit?""There are tables that way, Alpha!" A vendor shouted over the clamor of the fair while gesturing to his right."Let's sit," Talia said. She would love a bench, or maybe something elevated so that she can watch the peo
Mindy helped Gideon tidy up the area where the ceremony was held.Gideon's addictive scent of lavender stirred Mindy's lust and her mind started running wild.Will they go at it behind a food booth? Or maybe they jump in a crate full of plush toys? There was a stage with live music, and Mindy knew one dark corner where she could go down on Gideon. Ah, so many possibilities!Mindy felt like a naughty teenager who was planning to sneak around with her crush, and the playful mood from Gideon told her that he approved.Mindy was confident that people would be shocked to find out how bad their Shaman is, bad in a good way… bad in the best way possible. She was happy that only she got to see that side of Gideon. Others could see him as a tranquil wiseman, but Mindy knew better. That man was fire and ice in one, and he was hers.…The fair was organized on a clearing at the virtual border of the Dark Howlers pack and the Spring Leaf pack.Not long ago, that land was unclaimed, used by the ro
With Yasmin gone to the hospital, things settled down, and Talia turned to see Drake in the hallway.He was leaning sideways on the wall and looking extra yummy with the ceremonial garment around his waist and his body covered in markings done with black paint. But the whole visual was spoiled by his troubled expression."What's wrong?" Talia asked while approaching him.He shook his head. "After the ceremony, we were supposed to address our people, but with Yasmin…""It's OK," Talia interrupted him."No. It's not OK." He took her hand into his and placed her palm against his cheek. "I was supposed to tell everyone that now they have their Luna, but it didn't happen. I failed you again, kitten. I wanted to make this right."Talia was touched by his sincerity, but she didn't think anything was amiss. Sure, Elders tried to sabotage her, and she was set to find out who was behind it, but she would never blame Yasmin or Drake for something out of their control."The ceremony was completed

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
