MasukIn Lisa's room…As soon as she returned from the kitchen, Lisa lathered her hands in a thick layer of moisturizer. All that water and dirt from dishes and cleaning the kitchen was ruining her perfect skin.Once she settled down in her room, Lisa took her tablet and was checking online sources for the latest news related to Tony and Kalina. She knew that she shouldn't do that because it only increased her dejection, but it was like a deadly addiction she couldn't extricate herself from.Since Lisa returned home, she is on her own. No one understands her. Those few who spoke to her said how she will get over it eventually and that she should move on, but Lisa didn't know where to start. Everything she knew was taken away from her and she was lost. It didn't take long for Lisa to give in to her demons that whispered how she was suffering injustice, she was set up, everyone was mocking her, how nobodies like Kalina and Talia get Alphas to dote on them while Lisa was stuck in her room wit
After dinner, Stephanie and Lisa got busy with cleanup, Drake and Caden went to the study, and Maya led Talia into the room that Maya and Caden are sharing.The moment the door closed behind Maya, Maya wrapped Talia into a hug."I'm happy for you, dear.", Maya said to Talia. "How did you find out you are mates? Did Drake tell you? Or was it your wolf? Tell me. I want to know!"Talia was flustered with this sudden hugging and all the questions and before Talia could say a word, Maya pulled her to sit on the sofa and she looked at Talia expectantly.Talia released a long breath in defeat. "I don't feel my wolf's presence, so I don't think she is back. However, I can feel the sparks when Drake and I touch. I thought that it's due to some medication, but then Drake put that in the context of scent and attraction and…"Maya listened with interest. Normally, werewolves meet and bam, it happens, but this was different."Drake told me that you figured it out on your own.", Talia said when she
"Good evening, everyone!", Drake said cheerfully while walking into the dining room with Talia in his arms.Talia stopped her futile struggle to get out of his hold. She couldn't believe that Drake was acting like nothing was out of place.She wanted to smack him or bite him or say something nasty, but she knew it would only make things worse, and probably spur him to do something even more outrageous, like spanking her.Talia comforted herself that Drake moved his hand from her ass and his hold on her was decent."Sorry for being late, we got delayed in the pack hospital.", Drake said while lowering Talia to sit in her chair carefully, like he was handling a delicate porcelain doll."Don't worry about it.", Caden responded. "We are glad you could make it. If you stayed overnight, Steph would send you food.""The food in the pack hospital is not the best.", Stephanie said in her defense. She was ready to send food, thinking that Drake and Talia won't eat well there. Talia doesn't eat
Drake realized that noisy machines were attached to him, and he yanked the cables from his body, making the whole room fall into deafening silence.Travis stared at his feet and pretended not to see Talia scrambling to cover herself, but Drake's vicious aura was difficult to ignore.Drake was ready to jump on Travis and hurt him badly, but Talia was holding onto him, and Drake didn't want to expose her by moving away.Travis was unsure if it was safer to leave or stay, and before he could decide, Drake growled at him."Why are you here?"Travis hesitated. It was obvious what Drake and Talia were about to do, and the fact that Drake's increased heart rate caused machines to go crazy, confirmed Travis's guess.Travis knew that he interrupted something that shouldn't be interrupted, but with the alarms ringing, he thought that Drake was in critical condition, and the poor doctor was already here. Now what?"You are awake. I need to check your condition.", Travis said stoically."Check la
Drake looked at Talia with sparkles in his eyes and his heart expanded from happiness.She knows.Finally.But why was she frowning? What's up with those negative emotions?"Kitten? What's wrong?""Are you sure this is not a mistake?"Drake shook his head at the silly girl. "There is no mistake, kitten. We are mates. My wolf told me even before I saw you.""So… you knew we were mates when you came to the attic in the Red Moon pack?""Yes.""And when we met in the kitchen before that?""Yes.", he responded reluctantly, hoping that she won't bring up their encounter before that one because it involved Macy sucking him off.Of course, Talia didn't want to think about Marcy between Drake's legs, even though that image flashed in her mind."And that's why you brought me to your pack?", Talia asked."OUR pack.", Drake corrected her before adding, "It was either you come here, or I move in with you to the attic. You must admit that this is more comfortable."Talia was not sure what to do wit
When Drake told Travis that Talia shouldn't wake up, Travis understood it as: Drake had no intention to move.How on Earth was he supposed to check his injuries?Without any other options, Travis got scissors and started cutting the bandages.The moment Drake's skin was exposed, Travis frowned in confusion, and then his eyes nearly bulged in disbelief."What is it?", Drake asked when he noticed that Travis was not moving."The wound… it's gone.", Travis said.Drake didn't think much about it. "You did a good job and I heal fast."Travis didn't deny that he did a good job, but… "No one heals this fast."This was not the first time for Travis to patch up Drake. Drake has a history of brawls that left him in need of medical assistance, and he also faced rogues many times.Even with Drake's Alpha healing, Travis expected it will take days for the wounds to completely heal. Considering that wolfsbane was involved, it was very likely that a Drake won't be able to avoid scars, but... there w
To Dawn's and Zina's pleasure, Talia avoided taking dishes into the dining room.Talia didn't want to meet that intimidating man (aka Alpha Maddox), or other people that were there.Besides scary guests, there was also the unpredictable Alpha Drake.Talia was not sure how she would react if Drake t
Talia rushed into the kitchen.After her exercise, she chatted with Maya, Keith, and with others in the lounge of the training center, and it was fun, but now she was running late."Sorry, sorry…", Talia said breathily while entering the kitchen. She went straight to the pantry door which had a hoo
Talia was huffing and puffing when Keith stopped the treadmill. "I think we are done for today. I collected necessary data."Talia was embarrassed. She thought that she was running for hours, but the machine showed only 26 minutes. Talia started with a walk that gradually progressed into a jog, yet
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
