Chapter 462 – Hidden Desires of the Werewolf King Novel

Filed To Story: Veiled Desires of the Alpha King Novel

“I’m not going as Alpha. I will go as Talia’s mate.”, Dayson said. He had no intention of separating from Talia. Not now when all those Elders knew how important she was, and not now when she said that he can mark her. He will sink his fangs into Talia’s tender neck and fuck her thoroughly.

Maya noticed the air around Dayson and Talia changing, and she wanted to leave, but there was another thing. “Elder Charlie and Elder Samson emphasized that the younger generation needs to support Talia as our Luna. It doesn’t matter if they said that as a trap, but let’s make that blow up in their faces. Regardless of how the pack run goes, if enough people support Talia, the Elders will need to step back.”

“I like the sound of that, but how do we make it happen?”, Jaeden asked.

Maya smirked knowingly. “Do you remember the Summer Solstice festival?”

“Which part of it?”

“The soccer tournament.”, Maya said, and she tried not to laugh at Dayson’s sour expression. It was obvious that he remembered soccer players kneeling and kissing Talia’s hand and that was exactly what Maya was going for. “We need to get our team and Coach Keith back from their training. We all saw them showing respect to Talia. Maybe other people forgot Talia’s contributions as the team spirit and her being crowned as the MVP of that tournament, but I’m sure that our team remembers it. They are some of our best warriors, and I’m confident that with them around, others will think twice before stirring trouble.” She turned to Dayson. “What do you think?”

Dayson didn’t have objections. He liked that Maya came up with a backup plan and he wanted them to finish this meeting as soon as possible. “Send order that they can return immediately. They will have two free days before they need to report to their regular duties…”

With that, Maya and Jaeden left the study.

Dayson looked at Talia eagerly. They were alone. At last.

“So…” He licked his lips. “When can we…?” He didn’t finish, but Talia knew what he was talking about.

“Axel said how we should give it a few days for marking. I assume that had something to do with my powers. Let’s do the important things first.”

“Like?”, Dayson asked apprehensively.

“Marcy and visiting Shaman Gideon.”, Talia said. “You mentioned that you have a cottage nearby that can provide privacy. How about we go there tomorrow?”

Dayson feared that Talia will say how it will take days or longer, but then she said ‘tomorrow’.

“That’s OUR cottage, kitten.”, he corrected her before asking, “Tomorrow? What if you can’t help Marcy?”

Talia shrugged. “If I can help her, that would be the best. But if I can’t help her, then she will end up in the pack hospital and Doctor Travis will take care of her with Maya and Jaeden keeping an eye on things.”

Dayson still didn’t agree on Talia healing Marcy, but she said it like it was a done deal. However, he couldn’t deny her this. He was still thinking about marking.

“Regardless of how this goes, I will need to talk to George and James in the morning, and then we will visit the Shaman.”

Talia smiled happily. “After that, you should deal with any urgent matters, and as soon as you are done, we can go to the cabin.” Talia had another request. “I want to meet your wolf before marking.”

Dayson could feel that the old beast was happy that Talia wanted to meet him. And Dayson was happy also. By tomorrow this time, his mark will be forming on Talia’s neck and Dayson was eager to see what it will look like.

Dayson 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, Dayson 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. Dayson 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, Dayson 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.

Dayson 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 occasions, Talia followed her instincts.

The trouble was that there were no instincts on how to heal Marcy.

What was she missing?

When Dayson taught Talia about the Alpha aura, he said to think of it as a manifestation of her will. Talia didn’t think that her aura and so-called abilities were different.

‘Is that it?’, Talia wondered. ‘I need to want for Marcy to get better?’

But the problem was that Talia didn’t have kind of feelings toward Marcy.

In the Red Moon pack, Marcy beat Talia twice and said many mean words. Now Marcy was in the Shadow Fang pack with an intention to become Dayson’s Luna and Marcy spoke to Talia like she was a disposable mistress.

Marcy was Talia’s bully, a woman who was coveting Dayson. How can Talia wish for such a woman to get better? Wouldn’t it be best if Marcy stays that way and never wakes up?

Talia lowered her head while wondering if she was a bad person. If she wishes bad things to happen to people, didn’t she become a bully?

Talia shook her head while trying to dispel the dark thoughts. She hated bullies the most; they hurt the ones who are weak and vulnerable, and Talia refused to lower herself to that level.

“Don’t beat yourself over it.”, Dayson’s deep voice came from behind Talia. He could feel her fluctuating emotions and he knew that Talia was struggling with the concept of helping someone who hurt her more than once. “Do how much you can, and remember that doing nothing is an option. Marcy’s condition is the consequence of her actions. It’s not your responsibility to help her.”

“I’m not doing this for Marcy.”, Talia responded. “I want to do it for us.” This was the truth. “As your mate, I get to share your glory and your hardships.”

Dayson beamed at Talia’s words that warmed his soul.

After saying those words, Talia realized that this might be something she could work with. If her desire to accomplish something is the trigger to her powers, maybe she shouldn’t think about healing Marcy, but about her and Dayson.

Talia looked out the window to see the Moon that was in the first quarter.

She remembered stories of how the Moon Goddess lives there and is watching over all werewolves like they were her children.

Did Talia believe in the Moon Goddess? Talia was not sure. If the Moon Goddess was real, why did she allow Talia to live in that attic for a decade and to be bullied? Is that what a mother would do? Or did the Moon Goddess abandon her?

But this was not the time to question her fate. Talia chose to believe that she can fix this situation and if that included talking to the Moon Goddess, so be it.

“If you are up there, help me make things right…”, Talia said while looking at the half-circle that illuminated the dark sky speckled with stars. “Marcy committed a sin by rejecting her mate, and this is her punishment. I don’t have the right to decide how big Marcy’s offense is, but I know that if she doesn’t wake up, people I cherish will be harmed. They are good people and don’t deserve to suffer because of something Marcy did. Help me wake her up. She needs to be awake in order to fix her wrongs…”

Dayson smiled while listening to the small woman who was talking to the Moon with her hand extended that way like she was trying to reach for it.

If he could, he would capture the Moon and all the stars and give them to Talia. Maybe as a wedding gift.

Dayson’s eyebrows shoot up when Talia’s hand that was bathed in the moon rays started glowing. Less than a second later, Talia’s whole body was glowing, and that glow stretched lazily toward the bed where Marcy was.

Dayson’s jaw fell slack open as he watched Marcy being enveloped in the pulsating light, and it all came from Talia whose silver eyes shone and the ethereal outer glow made her appear like a Goddess who descended to Earth. Breathtaking.
