All Chapters of The Alpha’s Chosen: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Stephanie saw that Talia's mood was not good and she understood that after the incident with Cassie, Talia has every right to be upset.Maya told Stephanie about Cassie accusing Talia of stealing food previously, so she knew that this was not the first time for Cassie to bully Talia. Stephanie also knew about the point that Drake was just standing there and didn't do anything while Cassie was doing her Luna-act, and Stephanie couldn't imagine how painful that would be for Talia. Drake is the one who brought her here with a promise for a better life, yet when it counted he stood on the side.Stephanie's heart ached and she wanted to comfort Talia who was holding the ice pack on her face. "Let me see your cheek, dear…""Don't worry about me. I'm used to it.", Talia interrupted Stephanie. Compared to beatings she got at the Red Moon pack, this was nothing much. "Thank you for the ice pack. I know you have good intentions, but dinner will burn if no one takes care of it. I'm sorry, but I

Talia wanted Drake to leave, so she used the excuse of being sleepy.She needed space.Ever since the incident with Cassie, Talia didn't find a moment to collect her thoughts.First, it was Stephanie, then Maya, and now Drake, and Talia didn't get a chance to think about what happened and what she will do about it. Well, she knew that she should leave the packhouse, but the question was: how far away should she flee?There must be some safe distance from Drake and the bullies.Drake was amused by Talia's newfound spunk. She seemed determined to stay away from him, but he had no intention of leaving her side.He chased Cassie away, and that must count for something."You can't sleep like this?", Drake asked."No. Not really.", Talia said and moved her arm.The sleeve of Talia's t-shirt hitched higher, and Drake narrowed his eyes when he saw a fresh bruise on Talia's upper arm.Drake pushed himself up and examined the bruise. It was a palm print with five fingers seen clearly. He didn't

Alpha Richard was thinking about Cassie's words and he had a feeling that he might be on to something. Just like many other Alphas and Elders, Alpha Richard is keeping an eye on Drake and on the movements of the Dark Howlers pack, and Alpha Richard is aware that no matter how much they tried to pressure Drake, it was nearly impossible to influence him because Drake didn't expose any weakness. The circle of people who can approach Drake is small, and he doesn't have any close family members. No matter what girls they send Drake's way, none of them kept him interested for more than one night. Well, Cassie is an exception, but she never went beyond occasional hookup. However, if there is a girl who managed to invoke Drake's protective side, she might be someone important. Alpha Richard's story of how the girl might be Drake's relative or a spy was just nonsense to pacify Cassie; she was never the sharpest tool in the shed; far from it. Actually, Cassie is not stupid, but her rash pe

Obviously, Drake didn't like the idea of Marcy visiting the Dark Howlers pack, and he also didn't like that his two Betas were talking about it like it's not a big deal.Sure, he didn't tell them that Talia is his mate, but they should at least be aware of the consequences if Marcy recognizes Talia as the girl from the attic."If Marcy comes, what will happen to Talia?", Drake asked.Maya had a solution ready, "We can move her with Omegas, and tell her to stay low profile until Marcy leaves. Actually, Talia wants to move out of the packhouse, and this can be a good occasion to start the process…"Drake's ears were buzzing and he didn't hear the rest.Is Maya serious? How dares she think about separating him from Talia?But… can Talia stay in the packhouse with Marcy around?Only last night Drake told Talia that this is her home and that she won't need to hide, yet if Marcy comes, Drake will need to eat his words and suffer the consequences of breaking Talia's trust. Again.To make thi

Talia's excitement related to preparing lunch dwindled when Stephanie told her that they are just making sandwiches.Talia didn't mind washing lettuce leaves and cutting tomatoes thinly, but she was hoping to learn cooking techniques, and toasting bread didn't require any mastery."Did you expect something more elaborate?", Stephanie asked."Yes.", Talia admitted. "It is lunch, after all."In the Red Moon pack, every meal was like a feast for Alpha Edward, Beta Raymond, and their family members."We don't put a lot of importance on meal ceremonies unless there are guests in the packhouse.", Stephanie said. "Normally, I prepare breakfast and eat in the kitchen. I don't like to join them in the dining room because those three kids discuss their plans for the day, and it can get noisy."Talia agreed with this. She heard Drake, Maya, and Caden shouting that morning. Definitely noisy."Lunch is something easy to eat since everyone is busy and no one takes elaborate lunch breaks. Dinner is
