Drake and Caden returned to the VIP lounge and saw that the mess was cleaned up and a new table was in place with snacks and drinks like nothing happened.Their talk didn't solve anything, but the fact that Drake shared his (not) secret with Caden (and in extension with Maya also) that Talia is his mate, made Drake feel more at ease.Drake walked to the edge of the lounge and looked at the scene below that was still unfolding.Talia was chatting and laughing, and she was beautiful and enchanting, like a fairy. His fairy.Drake enjoyed the sight of Talia's smile, but he was irked that her smile was not directed at him. Yes, they were touching only her hand, but that was more than what he was touching, damn it!Those rascals from the soccer team are warriors, and Drake was determined to punish them for getting so close to Talia. Extra drills will do the trick. Maybe he can send them on a survival training in the mountains for a month.'Don't worry', Caden's voice sounded in Drake's head

When Drake's tournament-closing speech was over, people started leaving the sports fields and making way toward the town square where the next festivities will be held. Some people went into stores and restaurants that were still open and accepting customers.Talia was happy that she got a bag to keep her pins and the jersey. She also removed the fluffy gloves and the headband. Keith told her that those are hers to keep, and she can return them when she gives up on being the team spirit. Unfortunately, the trophy was too big to fit in the bag, but the insulated lunchbox that Stephanie prepared for Talia fit perfectly.With all the drinks and snacks that were everywhere, Talia didn't touch the food from the lunchbox, but she was confident that it will not go to waste. She will have it later.Talia was standing on the side with Lulu and Sandy. They were waiting for the guys to join them so that they can head for lunch together, as they previously agreed. Lulu was telling everyone how he

Drake saw that Maddox was leaning toward Talia and he didn't like it.Drake decided to put him in his place."Talia…", Drake called. "Based on the coach's speech, I understood that you played a significant role in showing others how they are not a match for us. Especially the Blue River pack who didn't even reach the semifinals."Maddox's expression darkened. Was there a need to call out his team? There were several other teams who failed to reach the semifinals!Drake's hand snaked around Talia's waist, and he pulled her closer to him (and away from Maddox).Talia's insides were a mess. What was Drake doing? Any closer and she will end up sitting in his lap!When their hips connected and her bottom stopped gliding over the bench, Drake released Talia and she nervously looked up at Drake only to see him glaring at Maddox.."Maybe losers should focus on training their team until the next tournament instead of scheming to poach my people."Maddox was not sure why Drake turned unpleasant

"So, now that you are at the Dark Howlers pack, what are you doing?", Mindy asked Talia."I'm helping in the kitchen."Mindy cocked an eyebrow. "Alpha Drake put you to work right away?""No, no.", Talia quickly said. "I asked to work in the kitchen because I wanted to learn how to cook. Besides, sitting in the room the whole day is boring." Seeing that Mindy's expression showed approval, Talia had an urge to leave a good impression, so she added, "I'm also studying about medicine with the hope to work in the pack hospital, and I'm training to improve my physical condition and learn to fight.""Really?"Talia nodded earnestly and gestured toward the table where Keith was. "Keith is my personal trainer.. He designed an exercise routine for me. We will be going to the training center from here…""Oh, you will not stay at the festival?", Mindy interrupted Talia. She was looking forward to being part of a group.Sure, there are Sandy, Lulu, Pierce, Liam, and Caden, but all of them are look

"Mindy is not with you?", Talia asked Liam, Caleb, and Pierce while they made their way toward the main street where the parade will pass.Talia could see that Mindy was not with them, but she was curious where Mindy went."We lost her at the stand with barbequed seafood.", Caleb said."She didn't seem very interested in barbequed squid.", Pierce added. "I think it's a girl thing. Lulu and Sandy also skipped that stand, but they stayed nearby."Liam noticed that Talia pressed her lips into a line. "Do you want to meet up with Mindy? She will probably be on the rooftop of the city hall. That's where all the bigshots will gather to watch the parade.."They normally couldn't go there, but considering that Talia had lunch with three Alphas (and Mindy) at the same table, Liam thought that Talia can probably get access to that amazing vantage point and they will tag along."No, no. I was just curious, nothing else.", Talia responded. She had no intention of going where bigshots are (how Lia
