บททั้งหมดของ The Alpha’s Chosen : บทที่ 81 - บทที่ 90

To Dawn's and Zina's pleasure, Talia avoided taking dishes into the dining room.Talia didn't want to meet that intimidating man (aka Alpha Maddox), or other people that were there.Besides scary guests, there was also the unpredictable Alpha Drake.Talia was not sure how she would react if Drake tells her to eat with them at the table. Talia didn't feel like she belongs there and sitting at that table with Alphas and their high-ranking members will definitely be uncomfortable. On the other hand, if Drake doesn't invite her, she will feel neglected.Talia was aware that Alpha Drake and his circle are way out of her league, and that it shouldn't come as a surprise that he ignores her when others are present, but part of her was not willing to be treated differently depending on the audience.It would be better if Alpha Drake was always indifferent toward her, but during the time they spent together, Talia got to see different sides of Drake, and his episodes of kindness touched her hea

In the kitchen…Talia was pushing the food on her plate.She couldn't describe the agonizing feeling that gnawed on her insides.Talia thought how not so long ago she was stuck in an attic, alone, and hungry, believing that only if she could have a safe place that is clean and comfortable, and some good food, she will be happy. Yet now that she is here, with all this delicious food in front of her, without danger of being bullied, with a comfortable bed upstairs… she was not happy.And why is that? Is it only because one woman took the place that never belonged to Talia?No, that didn't sound right.Over the years, Talia met many who pointed out how they are above Talia while she is nothing, yet it never hurt this much.Talia wondered if she was greedy. Surely, her current situation is a big upgrade compared to what she had. Why is she nitpicking? Why is her heart aching?"Is the food not to your liking?", Stephanie asked, and Talia sucked in a breath.'I need to keep it together or S

"How about you, Beta Maya? Can I interest you in one of my specialties?", Keith offered, and Maya refused him while pointing at her drinks, saying how she has enough.Accepting Keith's offer always comes with the danger of tasting something nasty, and Maya didn't want to risk it tonight.Talia quickly finished her first cocktail and started sipping her second one while watching Keith who was mixing a concoction with expert moves. He was flinging bottles in the air and rotating them on his palms without spilling a single drop. Talia was impressed."You work here?", Talia asked when Keith slowed down his movements. He told her that he is in the gym almost every day, so she assumed that this is where he spends his evenings."I stop by to help Katya, but I wouldn't call it a job.", Keith responded.Talia understood that Keith and Katya are in a relationship.. What kind of relationship? Their banter showed that they are close and now he said that he comes to help. Friends? Definitely more

"Well, isn't that a visual treat for us single ladies?", Dawn asked with a sigh while she squinted toward the booth that was hidden in the darkness. "Axel is such an eye candy. I wish I could go there and introduce myself." She eyed Maya not-so-discreetly and Dawn frowned when she saw that Maya ignored her.Maya got the message, loud and clear. Dawn hoped to get access to that booth, but Maya knew that Axel is one of the rare Alphas-to-be who is not living a licentious lifestyle, and she didn't want to offend him.The rumor is that members of the Midnight Guardians pack are all waiting for their mates and won't fool around, which is extremely uncommon for werewolves who have high libidos and are exposed to nudity from young age.Unfortunately for Axel, that same rumor is making him more appealing because many women (and some men) have set as their goal in life to take Axel's first time. Due to that, when in public, Axel has a perpetuate frown that should repel weak-willed hopefuls.Ma

When they reached the packhouse, Drake could see that Talia was still out, and she didn't react when he turned off the engine, or when he nudged her a little while calling her name, or when he carried her upstairs princess style.He was determined to scold her for her irresponsible behavior. What would happen if he didn't interfere? Why can't she be more careful? What was she thinking?Doesn't she know how adorable and completely defenseless she is?But just as he reached the third floor of the packhouse Talia snuggled close to him and nuzzled his neck with her nose as she released a soft moan that shook his insides. To make things worse, Talia's warm breath slipped into his shirt, making him tingly all over, and the pressure in his groin area increased.He forgot what he was planning to do."Damn it!", Drake cursed under his breath. He was supposed to be angry and not horny.Talia had him wrapped around her little finger and she didn't know it. Silly girl..Drake stood in the hallway
