Chapter 429 – Hidden Desires of the Werewolf King Novel

Filed To Story: Veiled Desires of the Alpha King Novel

Breakfast was served in the garden.

The morning sun was not too hot, and the breeze was providing a pleasant cooling effect. The atmosphere was enhanced by the song of birds that were hiding in the trees and the good mood of people who were seated at tables.

Talia decided to sit with Mindy, Maya, and Kalina, she didn’t see them since dinner.

Dayson was not pleased when Talia urged him to sit with Tony and Jaeden.

“We are hosts…”, Talia reminded him, and Dayson grumbled something she didn’t understand.

Dayson pulled a chair for Talia to sit and went to the table where breakfast items were arranged in a buffet style.

Only after making sure that Talia had a plate full of food in front of her as well as a glass of orange juice, Dayson went to sit with the guys.

Paul, Nate, and Greg were seated at another table.

“Did you hear that howl this morning? It was before six o’clock.”, Talia said to her girlfriends. “Do you know who it was?” Dayson was sleeping like a log, and he didn’t hear anything.

“It was my sister.”, Kalina said, making Mindy, Maya, and Talia look at her.

“Are you sure? It sounded like a call for hunt.”, Maya said.

Kalina nodded. “Yeah. I’m sure. That was Tanya.”

“Well, at least you know that she was having a good time.”, Mindy said cheekily. “I told you that my brother will take good care of her.”

Maya chimed in, “Was he taking care of her, or did Tanya take care of Max?”

After a moment of silence, Maya, Mindy, Talia, and Kalina burst into giggles.

When they settled down, Maya spoke to Talia, “I heard that Nora is in the dungeon. Care to share what happened?”

Talia looked at the other faces at the table and she saw that Kalina and Mindy were also curious. Talia gave them the short version of Nora coming to Dayson’s study and throwing herself at him. She skipped the part of Dayson knocking Nora out, it was not necessary.

“Oh, it seems that tonight’s party will go smoothly.”, Mindy commented. “With Marcy and Nora out of the way, there is no one to stir the pot.”

Talia was not so sure. “Let’s hope so.”

There were more than fifty people on the guestlist, but other than Elder Charlie and Elder Samson, Talia didn’t know anyone else who will come. They also invited Shaman Gideon, but he didn’t respond to the invitation so they were not sure if he will show up. That left a lot of unknown faces, and Talia couldn’t predict how they will react when Dayson introduces her.

What if they hope for someone with a good background to be Dayson’s mate? What if they expect someone like… Marcy?

Dayson offered Talia an option of introducing her as just Talia, and if anyone asks, they would say that she is his assistant. By dinner time, Talia will get a chance to mingle with the guests casually, and after that, they can reveal they are mates, once Talia was comfortable. But how comfortable can she get during two-to-three hours? She was nervous.

Talia had no idea how things will play out, but the good part was that  her friends were here. She knew that Mindy, Kalina, and Maya won’t let her suffer a loss.

The chatter stopped when Maddox and Tatiana made appearances.

Maddox’s arm was around Tatiana’s waist, holding her against him possessively and Tatiana’s hair was flipped to the right to showcase Maddox’s mark that was forming on the left side of her neck.

“What did we miss?”, Maddox asked no one in particular.

Kalina bolted to her feet and ran there to give her sister a hug.

“Come and join us at the table. So many things happened, and I want to hear how are you doing…”, Kalina chirped and dragged Tatiana while ignoring Maddox’s grumbles of protest.

Dayson waved at Maddox to come. “Get a plate of food for Tanya, and then you can join us.” It’s not that Maddox wouldn’t join them on their own, but there was a danger of Maddox making a scene because Kalina took his mate away.

Dayson knew very well that Maddox’s urge to feed Tatiana was at its peak. The only question was if Maddox will let her eat on her own or if he will insist on feeding her.

It was apparent that Maddox didn’t want to separate from Tatiana, even for that little space that was required in order for them to sit at separate tables.

Maddox felt joy radiating from Tatiana and he watched as she craned her neck to show his mark to Kalina, Talia, Maya, and Mindy. That helped him settle his emotions a bit.

Maddox nodded stiffly at Dayson and made his way to the table that was set up with breakfast items.

Dayson didn’t understand why Maddox and Tatiana left their room. They already delivered them food, more than once. But then Dayson picked up through the mind-link that Rose was on her way to change bedsheets and give fresh towels, which explained why the newly mated couple was out in the open.

Dayson wanted to take advantage of this situation to share some details with Maddox and Tony (Jaeden knew everything already), and to tell them that there will be a party tonight they should attend.

“Why don’t you sit with guys at the table?”, Mindy asked Maddox when he brought two plates, both heaping with food. He placed one plate in front of Tatiana, and the other one next to her. It was obvious that Maddox wanted to sit with the women at the table.

Maddox frowned at Mindy in disapproval. Why was she chasing him away?

His hostility dissipated when Tatiana put her hand over his while saying sweetly, “Maxy, baby, how about you eat with guys? I give you half an hour and then we go back upstairs.”

Maddox’s eyebrows shoot up in agreement. Half an hour. He can do that. Maybe.

He leaned to kiss Tatiana on the lips once, twice, every kiss mixed his flavor of coffee with hers of strawberries… and then he said, “Make sure you finish that. You will need the energy.”

‘PAK!’

Tatiana slapped his ass and she shook her hand that was throbbing. How can a man be so hard?

Maddox grinned cockily. “Save that for the upstairs, doll.”

He gave her another quick kiss before walking away with his plate of food.

Tatiana watched Maddox’s tall and muscular frame as he moved, and she couldn’t stop herself from imagining his body without any clothes. Her eyes fell on his firm ass that stretched his shorts, and she bit her lower lip while graphic images of her spanking Max flashed in her mind. Or will he spank her again? Both options were hot, so they will definitely do both.

Everything he did felt right. It was like he knew exactly where, how hard, how long, and in what way to touch her. The last two days passed in a daze, and she was not sure if they really happened or if she imagined it all.

Kalina giggled at her sister. “It seems you are enjoying with your mate.”

Tatiana released a long breath. “What is there not to enjoy? He is… fantastic. He made me fly so many times. I only worry that when this enamored daze disperses, I fall hard on my ass.” The ass that was still remembering Maddox squeezing it harshly.

Tatiana couldn’t believe that she enjoyed being manhandled. Wasn’t she the dominant one? But with Maddox things were different. She never saw anyone so handsome, powerful, annoyingly confident, and he smelled great and tasted even better. Every part of him was made for pleasuring her.

Tatiana was not inexperienced, but she never came so quickly and so strongly, and she couldn’t wait to do it again.

Tatiana had a good life so far, and she couldn’t imagine what changes will happen with Maddox’s appearance, but she knew that life without Maddox was not an option.

To make things more complicated, Maddox marked her. That sealed their bond, and she became his Luna, the Luna of the Blue River pack. It was a big deal, yet she didn’t know a thing about that pack, including where it was.

Sense of urgency swelled within Tatiana. She should educate herself about so many things. What is the situation in his family? She knew about Mindy, but what about their parents, Beta, and other high-ranking members of the pack? She heard that Beta and Gamma are usually very close to the Alpha, like extended family. Should she buy them presents?

“Don’t worry, Tanya.”, Talia said. It was obvious that Tatiana was freaking herself out. “Every relationship has ups and downs, but the mate bond is assurance that both of you will do your best to make it work, and that’s the only thing that counts.”

Kalina nodded in agreement with Talia’s words, and added to Tatiana, “Just how you are in a daze, he is as well. Keep in mind that the bond works both ways. No matter what’s ahead, you will be in it together.”

Tatiana smiled a little, but she couldn’t stop herself from worrying about that together part.

She had a life and a company in Europe, while Maddox had a pack in the States. How can they take care of the people who depend on them, and be together, when those two are on different continents?

It was easy not to think about it while lost in the throes of passion, but now that her head was clear, all kinds of worries filled her mind.

Tatiana closed her eyes and took a deep breath while trying to compose herself. The second inhale filled her system with the scent of coffee and her lips lifted into a smile.

“Thank you for the coffee…”, her voice trailed when she opened her eyes and realized there was a glass of water in front of her.
