Semua Bab The Alpha’s Chosen : Bab 831 - Bab 840

Drake drove his black armored Lexus SUV in silence.Talia enjoyed the way he held her hand pressed on his chest like he was telling her she was close to his heart.The lights of the downtown flickered as the car moved smoothly over the highway, and Talia realized that was not the way to the packhouse."Where are we going?"Drake smiled mysteriously. "You will see."Talia relaxed in her seat and let him have it. She didn't care where they were going, as long as they were together.Drake and Talia used this peaceful drive to process the news: they will be parents!Drake couldn't believe how excited he was at the thought of becoming a father. The thought of his seed growing in Talia's belly filled him with pride. Talia was the most amazing female he ever met, and he knew that there will never be another woman like Talia. And she was his. Will he be a good father? Drake was recollecting events with his father, and he decided to create happy memories for his child also.Talia soaked in Dra

"Yasmin has bad dreams since she got pregnant," Talia said to Drake. "It's because of hormones and unstable energy flows that are messing with the mind and amplifying insecurities."Yes, it must be insecurities, Talia thought. Hormones made her think about the worst things that could happen… like Drake not being around and her needing to raise their child alone, surrounded by enemies. She tightened her hold on him."Good that you know," Drake said, and he took a mental note to talk to Travis and see if they could do something about it.Feeling that Talia was desperately clinging to him, Drake assured her, "I won't leave your side, kitten. As long as you need me, I will be right next to you."Talia looked up at him. "That means you will be right next to me for a very very very loooooong time."He smiled. "I have no objections with that arrangement." Drake kissed her forehead and spoke without pulling back. "Mates are two halves of a whole. We are made to be together, to complete each o

The next few days were busy.Axel selected (and sent) another batch of people from the Midnight Guardians pack. He reported his success when four out of twenty people he took to the Silver Flame Coven found their mates. Axel suggested that Evanora comes next with a batch of witches to the Midnight Guardians pack, but she refused, so Axel was planning another trip there soon.Talia was happy to hear that Yasmin's pregnancy was progressing well, and her stomach was visible now.Maya was in charge of organizing events for the newcomers from the Midnight Guardians pack. She took them to the Shifters, and for an outing in Darkbourne, and some of them found their mates. However, keeping them in the territory of the Dark Howlers pack came with limitations on the pool of possible matches, so she decided to take them to other packs.Since they couldn't publicize from where the new faces came, Maya decided to take them around for one-day trips where they would attend small-sized mixers with mem

Talia couldn't believe how stubborn Drake was. Sure, Cinna was just a plush puppy, and it was just a toy for their baby, but it was important to Talia as well."Why can't I give something to our child? And why are we talking about me and you like we are separate? And…" Talia paused when it dawned on her. "This is because Keith gave me Cinna. Isn't it?"Drake's silence answered Talia's question.Drake knew he was petty and that it didn't make sense. Talia was his and his alone, and she never thought about any other guy, but… he couldn't help it. That toy reminded Drake of Keith's ghost that hovered over them, and the fact that Talia was so caring toward that toy was infuriating and, at the same time, preventing Drake from trashing it.Talia put Cinna on the sofa and hugged Drake. "Why didn't you tell me?""Tell you, what?""That you don't approve I kept a toy that Keith gave me?""It's not that I don't approve, but…" He didn't know what to say next. Should he lie and pretend that he di

Lunchtime the next day…Maya was looking at the messages on her phone while entering the dining room after Caden.Drake and Talia were already there.Maya greeted Drake and Talia before saying, "It seems we heard back about your friend sooner than expected.""You did?" Talia asked, guessing that this was about Olivia."Mhm," Maya confirmed with a hum and she was reading the text message while taking, "I just got a text from Dawn. She asked Omegas from George's villa, and some of them heard that…" Maya's voice trailed."What is it?" Talia asked anxiously. Did something bad happen to Olivia? Was she dead?"I will ask them to verify this," Maya said."Tell me," Talia demanded."They said that Olivia's mate is a warrior from the Shadowbite pack."Talia noticed that both Drake and Caden frowned at this.Talia tried to remember what she knew about that pack. It was a smaller-sized pack that kept to itself. They didn't have the power or status to attend important gatherings, and they didn't
