Filed To Story: Veiled Desires of the Alpha King Novel
Occasionally, Talia would turn to look back where Dayson was with Maddox and Tony, and she would always meet Dayson’s icy-blue eyes that were burning her skin. She knew that gaze; trained on her, hungry, eager… and she felt butterflies in her stomach at the thought of what they will do that night. Marking. She said yes, and she meant it.
Once his mark is on her neck, a lot of problems will disappear. At least that’s what she hoped for.
Maddox walked between Dayson and Tony and carried the suitcase with Mindy’s stuff. He was still wrapping his head around the fact that his sassy sister was mated. And to a Shaman!
How the heck is that going to work out? Mindy is all about travel, technology, trendy stuff, while Shaman is an old dude probably living in a cave of some sort that’s decorated with skulls of small animals and smells of dried roots.
Maddox was in such a shock, that he didn’t even call home to inform their parents.
And why the hell were they walking so much? “How far is it?”, Maddox grumbled.
Dayson peeled his eyes off Talia and glanced into the distance beyond her. He did some mental calculations before responding, “About five to ten minutes.” It would be faster if they shifted in their wolf form, but Talia can’t shift, and he didn’t want to make it awkward for her.
Maddox didn’t like it. Why was Shaman living in the middle of nowhere? Was Mindy supposed to live like a recluse from now on? He was not sure what to think about it.
Dayson’s attention was on Talia, and he observed her intently as she moved through the forest. Her every move was graceful, leaving him in awe.
Did she know that she moved without disturbing the foliage she walked through? Even his top scouts would have a hard time if they compete against his kitten in trekking without leaving traces. And if she combines that with the mixture of herbs she used to take, she would be nearly invisible.
Talia was amazing, and the fact that she was clueless about it only made Dayson love her more.
Dayson smiled when the breeze wafted Talia’s citrusy sweet scent of freesia toward him. He knew that taking those herbs to suppress her scent was important, yet she stopped taking them because he said that he loved her scent. The girl who was always hiding wanted him to find her. That warmed his heart.
Dayson couldn’t stop thinking about tonight and the fact that Talia would occasionally turn to give him a smile told him that she was thinking about it as well. Tonight, he and Talia will head to the cottage. Marking.
The list of remaining tasks was getting shorter, and they agreed that other than Jaeden and Maya, no one else will know where and why they are going. After settling this with the Shaman, the only pressing matter was for Marcy to wake up and they figure out how to persuade her to collaborate in the fastest way possible because he didn’t want to waste time on her.
If Dayson’s calculations were correct, by afternoon they can set off, and reach the cabin by sunset.
A number of Omegas was already there to ventilate, put fresh bedsheets and towels, and stock up the fridge and pantry. He would love to stay there at least a week, but after hearing James’ plan, Maya and Jaeden assured Dayson that they have two or three days.
Dayson sighed. Two or three days. It was too short, but if he thought about the danger from Alpha Edward and the Red Moon pack… it was the time they didn’t have.
Dayson pushed the negativity away.
Maya and Jaeden are capable, and his warriors are the best. In case of an emergency, Jaeden can contact Dayson, so he can focus on claiming his mate.
Dayson didn’t want to delay the marking, not now when Talia gave him the green light. It will solidify the mate bond, making them inseparable, and if he was right, his DNA will give Talia a boost and maybe awaken her wolf completely. Maybe.
He heard stories of how the bond changes after marking, merging two into one, entangling their fates, and he couldn’t wait to be forever entangled with Talia.
Dayson was trembling with anticipation.
Gideon was combing Mindy’s hair with his fingers, spreading it over his chest and enjoying the slight tickle it provided.
They were lying in the bed, completely spent, yet craving for more.
Mindy’s hand was burrowed in her personal love blanket (aka Gideon’s chest hair), and she took deep breaths, relishing the most delicious scent of lavender that was made only for her. She couldn’t believe that they were going at it since yesterday afternoon, with only short breaks to eat and clean up a bit.
It was after midnight when Mindy remembered that she came here with Talia to fetch Gideon so that he can join the event, but by that time the event was already over, and the only thing Mindy could do was hope that Talia will forgive her and that nothing catastrophic happened.
They finished washing and went back to bed without bothering to cover up their naked bodies.
Gideon noticed that Mindy’s mood dropped. “What’s wrong, princess?”
“The party.”, Mindy responded.
Gideon knew what party Mindy was talking about. It was the one he didn’t want to go to. “What about it?”
“I came here with Talia to convince you to come.”
Gideon’s lips lifted into a smile. “But I came. Many times. Thanks to you.”
Mindy rolled her eyes. “Be serious. You know what I’m talking about. My friend needed your help.”
Gideon frowned. “Did you just roll your eyes at me?”
Mindy blinked, unsure how to cope with this sudden mood change. She could feel that he was pissed, and he wanted to teach her a lesson in obedience. Somehow, it turned her on.
She yelped when he tugged her arm and she found herself on the bed, with her face burrowed in the pillows. Before she could react, Gideon’s body pressed on her back, pushing her deeper into the mattress.
“I won’t tolerate lack of respect…”, he rasped close to her ear. “Do you understand?”
Mindy closed her eyes and nodded while acknowledging the arousal that swelled within her.
“Say it.”, he demanded.
“Yes.”
“Yes, what?”
“Yes. I understand, daddy.”
Gideon hummed in approval. He loved when she called him daddy. It was strange at first, but when he understood that was her sign of the need to be dominated, he approved.
His length moved between her but cheeks, spreading them slightly and reminding her of how much he wanted her.
“Now spread for me, and don’t worry about the event because it ended without incidents. If that boy can’t handle a few Elders, he wouldn’t be an Alpha. And if he can’t protect his mate, he wouldn’t deserve her as his Luna.”
Mindy bit her lower lip and spread her legs, allowing him to settle there.
Mindy was happy to hear how the event ended well. She was not sure how Gideon knew that, but as a Shaman, Gideon definitely had his ways. He managed to put her mind at ease, and it proved that he cares about her.
After one nudge from him, Mindy lifted her hips a bit, so he gets better access.
“Mmm…”, Gideon mumbled. “Good girl.” And then he buried himself deep inside her in one powerful thrust and Mindy gasped while clutching the bedsheets as another wild ride began.
Back to the present…
