C410 - The Party At The Packhouse (6)

LElder Patsy and Elder Thomas were irritated that Drake invited them to a party without any set agenda, and then he left them to their own devices to guess the reason why they were here, and no one confirmed or denied the relevance of Marcy.Alpha Drake was sitting at the table leisurely and ignoring his guests.Dawn showing up here all dressed up was the trigger to make them go and vent some of their frustration. How can a plain Omega join a party with Elders and act like she belongs there?But now that Drake revealed she was Commander George's mate, Dawn was not just an Omega. This was serious.Elder Patsy and Elder Thomas were not sure what to do."Will you apologize? Or are you expecting me to do it in your place?", Drake asked two Elders stiffly. "If Commander George doesn't feel your sincerity, I will need to ask you to leave. As a host, I can't allow my guests to be uncomfortable, and tomorrow he will decide on how to deal with this. I believe that we all agree on the point of

C411 - The Party At The Packhouse (7)

George led the way toward the largest table in the event hall where Drake was sitting with Maya, Caden, Maddox, Tanya, Tony, and Kalina.The table next to it had Paul, Nate, and Greg sitting with three Generals of the Dark Howlers pack, and a table further down was with James, Petra, Erik, and Zack.Other tables were occupied by the Elders and some other important people from the Dark Howlers pack.George kept two plates with food on the table and pulled a chair for Dawn to sit.Dawn gingerly took a seat and looked at the lineup at the table. She really wished for Talia to be there.The truth was that even George was surprised when Drake invited them to sit at his table. George assumed that they will be seated with Paul, Nate, and Greg because, based on rankings, that's where he belonged.This seating upgrade confirmed George's suspicion that Drake knew about his real identity as the Alpha, and he had a strong hunch how tomorrow's talk with Drake will address that topic."You must be

C412 - The Party At The Packhouse (8)

Doctor Travis arrived shortly after Talia, and he sat at the table with some other important people from the pack.Dinner was served and the sound of utensils clinking over low murmurs filled the space.Kalina and Maya chatted in a lively atmosphere with Tatiana adding to it occasionally.Tony and Caden enjoyed watching their mates having fun, and Maddox was totally focused on Tatiana and making sure that she always had food and drinks in front of her.Dawn and George were in their own bubble, feeding each other and talking in whispers, like they had no idea werewolves surrounded them and how anyone who paid attention could hear their naughty talk.At one glance, the atmosphere at the largest table was harmonious. However, Talia could feel Drake's anxiety building up with every passing minute, and there were occasions when Talia noticed that Maya and Caden were also alerted. Maddox, Tatiana, Tony, Kalina, George, and Dawn seemed carefree, but neither of them was totally relaxed.Drak

C413 - The Party At The Packhouse (9)

Drake gave Talia's hand a squeeze, indicating that he will take over. The way this was going, they were about to blame Talia if anything goes wrong with the Red Moon pack. He knew that these people perfected the game in shifting the blame."You are missing the point, Elder Thomas.", Drake said stiffly. "You are not qualified to know what exactly happened between me and Miss Marcy. You should focus on things that are relevant to you. I found my fated mate. That should be a reason to celebrate, and that is why we gathered here. We will schedule Talia's Luna ceremony soon.""What is to say that she is your fated mate?" This voice belonged to Elder Patsy who was standing up. "I am around for a long time, and I never heard of an Alpha finding his mate and procrastinating in claiming what is his."Murmurs of agreement swelled through the event hall.A few voices said how this was disrespect to Alpha, but they were quickly drowned by others.Seeing that this was spiraling downwards, Drake wa

C414 - Late Night Strategy Meeting (1)

Drake, Talia, Maya, and Caden were in the study.Drake sat on a sofa chair with Talia on his lap, and Maya and Caden were on the sofa.Talia could feel Drake's displeasure. He was inhaling her scent, and that told her he was using her proximity to calm down. She let him hold her.Talia looked at Maya and Caden whose expressions showed concern, but no one said anything so they sat in silence for some time.Drake was first to speak."I regret not suppressing them and throwing them in the dungeon.""You did well by holding back.", Caden said. "As much as we don't like them, they are members of our pack with an extensive network of relatives and friends. If you locked them all up, it would ruin the image that you built over a decade."Maya agreed. "If they are outsiders, no one would care. But Elders are ours and we need to find a way to work around them or we will risk our pack seeing you as a tyrant."Drake managed to hold reign over the Dark Howlers pack with such a small number of hig

C415 - Late Night Strategy Meeting (2)

Maya was not sure what the big deal was about Talia trying to help Marcy recover with some herbs. Wasn't that what she was already doing? But who would know what was on Alpha Drake's mind? He was overprotective and borderline unreasonable when it came to Talia.However, when thinking about the grim prognosis related to Marcy's condition, Maya decided to remind them… "Doctor Travis said that there is not much we can do about Marcy and that her stay in the hospital won't go beyond stabilizing her condition. Shaman Gideon confirmed that Marcy's recovery depends on the strength of her spirit. Considering that Marcy's condition is deteriorating, I would suggest that we let Talia do her thing. It can't hurt.""Drake and I will talk about it more.", Talia responded. She knew that Drake was only worried about her, and she didn't blame him because she would do the same if the roles were reversed. Talia was eager to start convincing Drake to give in, but before that, she wanted to confirm, "Is

C416 - Late Night Strategy Meeting (3)

"Let's think about this one at a time.", Talia said.Drake, Maya, and Caden turned to look at Talia, all three wondering what she was up to."We are open to ideas.", Maya said."The pack run is a week from now. A lot of things can happen until then. I never shifted into my wolf form and I have no idea how that's done, but…" Talia glanced at Drake and smiled a little. "I am confident that if anyone can teach me to shift, that will be you."Drake was amazed by her optimism, and he knew that it was fueled by her faith in him. Drake's smile fell when Talia added, "And I will ask Shaman Gideon for help."Talia remembered that Shaman was not very friendly when she visited that afternoon, but now he was mated to Mindy, and Talia thought that she can leverage that. Surely, after a night of sex, he should be in a better mood.Drake was not happy that Talia would ask someone for help also. He wanted her to rely on him, but he knew that this was an emergency and he didn't want to sound childish

C417 - Middle Of The Night Operation

Drake and Talia agreed that Marcy's situation was urgent, and it should be handled as soon as possible, so the duo headed to the house where Marcy was.As preparation for damage control, Drake told his warriors who guarded the perimeter that they will be testing new light fixtures in the house and if there is a flash not to panic. Drake hoped that will be enough to conceal any unusual glow that Talia might produce.After numerous warnings to Talia that if anything seems off she should stop, Drake stood at the door of Marcy's room and observed Talia who was standing by the window and looking at the bed where Marcy was lying.Talia was confident that she can help Marcy, but now that she was facing her, Talia realized that she had no idea how to go about it.Talia decided to think about what she knew.Drake told her that she repelled rogues, and healed him, but Talia had no recollections of those events. She remembered the incident in the lake and glowing Meg in the car, and on those two

C418 - Morning Negotiations (1)

The dawn was peeking through the window of the master bedroom on the third floor of the packhouse.Drake and Talia didn't get any sleep, and for the first time since they got together, the lack of sleep was not due to the copious amount of carnal pleasures.When Doctor Travis arrived at the house where Marcy was, he did a quick checkup to confirm that her condition improved significantly and that she should wake up soon.Knowing that Drake and Talia had a lot on their hands, Travis offered to stay back with Marcy so the duo can go to the packhouse and rest."I will contact you if any changes happen.", Travis said. "This is the least I can do for my Alpha and Luna. Please, allow me to contribute…"Drake accepted Travis' offer because Talia was tired after using her ability, but since they got in bed, Talia was tossing and turning, the much-needed sleep refused to take over. Her proximity and sparks were turning him on, and her addictive scent added to his arousal, but Drake knew that T

C419 - Morning Negotiations (2)

George entered the study and paused at the sight of Talia who was there with Drake.George wondered if Talia will be part of this secretive talk. Or maybe he overthought everything and this was just to discuss Marcy's condition. Maybe.George decided to start with pleasantries."I failed to congratulate you on finding your mate and your Luna.", George said to Drake. "Pardon my tardiness. I wish you all the best in the years to come.""No need to apologize.", Drake responded. "It's understandable, considering the commotion the news caused with the Elders."George remembered the circus from the previous evening. It didn't match the image of a scary and stern Alpha that Drake usually carried. If that happened in the Red Moon pack, Alpha Edward would execute the ringleaders on the spot, to set an example for others, yet Drake just stood there and allowed it to unfold.George had to ask, "Are your Elders always so disobedient?"Drake was amused that George asked him so bluntly, but he didn
