《The Alpha’s Chosen 》全部章節：第 401 章 - 第 410 章

Elder Samson and Elder Charlie arrived together at the party.The duo of Elders moved toward the bar in the event hall while greeting people present. Everyone was familiar.Just like the majority of guests present, Elder Samson and Elder Charlie had a feeling that this was about Drake announcing his Luna, but they were not sure if that will be Marcy or Talia.Of course, they were hoping it was Marcy, but they also remembered that Drake told them how Talia was his fated mate. Talia was fierce, but considering that many confirmed Marcy was in their pack… which one will it be?"Isn't that James?", Elder Charlie asked while eyeing a group of four teens sitting at a table.Elder Samson looked in that direction to see James sitting with Petra, Erik, and Zack. The four of them were focused on their phones and chatting in a hushed but lively manner. They were playing an online game together."It is.", Elder Samson responded without trying to conceal his displeasure. "It seems that the future

While approaching the cabin that was nestled between the trees and high bushes, Talia noticed that the front door was open.She looked around and called, "Hello! Shaman Gideon! It's me, Talia. I came to visit you…"No one responded, and Talia moved closer to the cabin. "Hello?"The door was visibly newer compared to the rest of the cabin, obviously because Gideon replaced the one that Drake destroyed. Talia hoped that Gideon won't blame her for that incident.After a slight hesitation, Talia pushed the door open and called from there, "Shaman Gideon? Hellooo…"Talia wondered if something happened to him. Maybe that's why he didn't show up at the party or respond to the invitation. What if he was attacked by rogues? He lives alone, maybe it happened days ago!The more Talia thought about it, the more she was unsettled."I'm coming in!", she called and stepped inside.The place was just as she remembered it. Kitchen, dining area, sitting area with a sofa and two chairs. The doors on the

Mindy's heart cracked when the heaviness of Gideon's emotions hit her hard, and she realized that her joy of finding a mate doesn't compare to his.Mindy knew that Shamans are spiritual guides. Werewolves come to them to hear stories and advice related to anything and everything, mates included. She could feel Gideon's pain that accumulated over a long time as he devoted his life to helping many, while he was all alone.Why was he living in isolation, here in the forest, instead of in the middle of Darkbourne?No one chooses loneliness; it happens when a person is disappointed with the society.Gideon saw a lot in his life, and Mindy wished to be one of the people who won't let him down; maybe he could even rely on her.Mindy gingerly wrapped her arms around Gideon and leaned into him until her face was stuck to his chest.She took a deep breath that filled her system with his scent of lavender, and she thought how it's silly that a free spirit like herself who loves travel, gets dazz

In the packhouse…James was having fun with Petra, Erik, and Zack. The four of them didn't shout or raise their feet on the table (they would do that if the atmosphere was teenager-friendly). However, they were happily playing with their phones and chatting in a lively mood which stood out because everyone else was visibly older and much more serious.Petra, Erik, and Zack were in high spirits. When they got their mission to accompany future Alpha James, they were apprehensive about it, but after experiencing the whole day of fun, they realized that they were wrong about it.First, they had a scrumptious breakfast in the packhouse, which was followed by a whole day of playing in the town with James. All expenses were covered, courtesy of Alpha Drake.Second, they got to stay in the packhouse for the time being, with each of them getting a room. It was like a vacation!Third, they were attending this event with big shots from the pack, and James' presence allowed them to be casual abou

With his uneasiness increasing, Drake was contemplating to meet Talia in front of the packhouse. They would sit in a car, drive into the night, and never look back.Even Drake's wolf thought how escaping might be a good idea. The old beast was always advising him to take care of his pack, so this change in priorities confirmed that their current situation was not good.With Marcy's bad condition worsening, Alpha Edward will definitely use it as leverage against Drake. In addition to that, the power struggle among Elders and many others who were not present at the party was never-ending and it was draining him physically and emotionally.If Drake followed the well-established practices (which his father abandoned), the only woman with qualifications to be an Elder was Stephanie. She was not a Beta, but her mate was a Beta and she definitely contributed to the pack as Luna Violet's confidant, and as a person Drake could rely on. Ironically, she didn't want it.When Drake took over as th
