Chapter 593 – Hidden Desires of the Werewolf King Novel

Filed To Story: Veiled Desires of the Alpha King Novel

She remembered… ‘Now that the pack run is over, we should let Liseli and Sapa come to the front.’

Dayson groaned in disapproval, but he knew that Talia’s words made sense. ‘That’s a big sacrifice. I will need you to make it up to me, kitten.’

‘We have our whole lives for that, Mr. Blake.’, she responded coyly. ‘I will be making it up to you over and over again.’

Dayson’s eyes widened. ‘Do you think this will make me want to let the old guy come in front?’

Talia burst into laughter, and Dayson joined her. They were truly happy and if anyone saw two wolves wiggling while releasing whimpers and snorts, they might think that the animals ate some funny mushrooms.

‘Lis’, Sapa called while looking at the light gray wolf in front of him.

‘Hi, Sapa’, Liseli responded. ‘It’s good to see you.’

Sapa’s tail was waggling wildly. He was excited.

After a round of sniffing and licking, Sapa suggested, ‘Should we go for a run?’

‘Don’t you think we are old for games?’

‘You are old how much you feel, and when I look at you, I’m charged up like a young pup.’, Sapa responded enthusiastically. ‘Come on. You always loved a good chase.’

‘You remember.’

‘Of course.’, Sapa responded right away. ‘I remember every single detail, as long as it’s related to you.’

Liseli tilted her head. ‘Then you should also remember that I’m faster.’

‘True. But I also remember that you wouldn’t let me struggle for a long time and you would slow down so I can catch you.’ He inched closer and touched her nose with his. ‘You were just playing hard to get. Like now. Come on, Lis, we both know you want it.’

Liseli sneered. ‘You are overconfident.’

‘With a good reason.’, Sapa responded confidently.

Without any warning, Liseli dashed into nearby bushes with Sapa hot on her trail and a wild chase began.

After an unknown measure of time, Sapa and Liseli stopped at a clearing where their evening started. It was the clearing where Dayson’s parents were buried and where Cornelia conducted the ritual to remove black runes from Dayson.

The dawn was cracking to light the sky in oranges and purples that were getting brighter by the second.

Two wolves stood in front of a diagram that was still visible on the ground.

‘I have remnants of dark magic inside me.’, Liseli said.

Sapa was alerted. ‘Is it serious?’

Liseli shook her head. ‘I’m not sure. So far, it showed when this child was overwhelmed with negativity.’

‘We should talk to witches and see if they can help.’

‘We should’, Liseli confirmed. ‘And we should also clarify what the witch will want from you as payment for conducting the ritual.’

Sapa lowered his head at this. He was not present to prevent Dayson from accepting the deal with Cornelia, but he was not sure if he would prevent Dayson even if he was there.

‘Sapa, why are we here?’, Liseli asked.

Sapa turned toward the gravestone that was under a big tree. He walked there and Liseli followed.

‘Jacob…’, Sapa spoke to the gravestone. ‘I know that you never forgave me for not mating with Violet’s wolf, but I couldn’t because she was not my mate. This is Liseli. She is my mate, and now you can see that I was not being mean.’

Liseli realized that Sapa was apologizing to Dayson’s father. ‘Do you think he can hear you?’

‘Probably not, but it’s making me feel better.’, Sapa responded. He wished that he could visit the graves of all people where his spirit lived since he was punished with an immortal soul and an eternity without Liseli. Sapa knew that if they could see Liseli, they would forgive him for not mating with wolves who were not his soulmate.

Liseli looked at Sapa and her heart cracked. For centuries he lived with people who were unrelated to him; he formed bonds and memories, and there were regrets as well.

‘I can’t imagine what you’ve been through, Sapa.’

‘Whatever it was, it was worth it because we are together now.’

‘Show me.’, she demanded. ‘I want to see everything.’

Without hesitation, Sapa turned to face Liseli and he leaned his forehead against hers.

Countless images flowed between them, accompanied by sounds, scents, and emotions as Liseli and Sapa opened their minds to each other to share everything they missed while being apart for centuries.

The air around two wolves hummed while white light enveloped them, getting thicker with every heartbeat as their souls were getting entangled in unimaginable ways.

Everything stilled in deafening silence as if the whole world anticipated what will happen next.

The pulsating light reached critical mass and it exploded silently without disturbing a single strand of grass at the exact moment when the sun peeked behind the mountains in the East.

The new day brought unknown new beginnings as the two strongest Alphas were finally fully mated, the depth of their bond making them feel as if they were one.

The sun was rising when Talia’s eyes fluttered open to see that she was sleeping next to Dayson with her head on his shoulder. They were in bed, in the master bedroom of the packhouse.

She was home.

The previous night was eventful and heart-stirring, and she couldn’t believe that they did it. Dayson was free from the dark magic and there was no more danger he will forget about her, and she stood in front of the Shadow Fang pack as Dayson’s Luna. It happened.

Talia feared that the Shadow Fang pack will complain how she was not Marcy or some other high-profile she-wolf that could bring benefits to the pack, but the last night’s pack run passed without incidents of such sort. The overall mood was good, and people were excited, but what touched her the most was the pride she could feel from Dayson. It was as if he achieved something monumental and it amplified her joy to know that she only needed to exist next to Dayson for him to be happy.

Talia took a deep breath to fill her lungs with her favorite scent of the forest and the dark chocolate and her world was at peace. Dayson’s heat warmed her skin, his solid arms were around her, their legs were entangled, they were naked, and everything about their current position was right.

The moment she moved a muscle, Dayson’s hold on her tightened. She loved that his instinct was to pull her closer to him.

“Good morning, kitten…”, he greeted her in a gravelly voice from sleeping, and his lips pressed on her forehead in a soft kiss.

She looked up at him and smiled. Why did it feel like her heart was singing? And it was a happy song.

“Good morning, handsome”, she responded and shifted a bit because the necklace made out of teeth that was around her neck was poking her. “How did we get here?” She really didn’t remember.

Sapa was sleeping contently at the back of Dayson’s mind and Dayson guessed that it was the same with Talia’s wolf.

“What’s the last you remember?”, he asked.

“Sapa and Liseli went for a run. After that, I’ve got some bits and pieces, but nothing that makes sense”, she responded, and her expectant look told him how that was it.

Dayson filled her in with, “Our wolves completed their mating last night. They shared thoughts and emotions and when things became frisky I stopped watching.”

Talia was not sure how to respond to this. Should she ask for clarification about the friskiness? Probably not. Yes, it was Liseli, but technically it was her body also. Sniffing, rubbing, and licking was one thing, but did they do more than that? Did Sapa jump on Liseli to…? Talia tried not to think about that possibility, but it was hard.

Dayson chuckled at the myriad of emotions that he could pick up from Talia. “What are you thinking, kitten?”

“Nothing.”

“That doesn’t feel like nothing.”

Talia knew he won’t give up easily, so she responded, “I am getting used to the idea of having a wolf and sharing a body and… stuff.”

“I see. If it makes you feel any better, it’s new for me as well. I used my wolf form to fight or move quickly, and last night was different. But regardless of what Sapa does with Liseli, considering that she is part of you, I can’t say that he is making me get close to another female…” Dayson’s voice trailed as another thought popped into his mind. “Sapa was not able to complete mating with other she-wolves because they were not Liseli.”

Talia was alerted. “Other she-wolves?” Did Dayson want to mate with other women? That was new and unsettling.

“Did you forget that Sapa was my father’s wolf, and my grandfather’s before that?”, Dayson reminded Talia before explaining, “Full mating strengthens the bond and gives us a power boost. This means I am stronger than yesterday, probably stronger than my father was. We should go to the gym and do tests. Both of us.”

Talia had no desire to go to the gym or to leave the bed. She wanted to stay there with Dayson as long as possible, in their slice of intimacy and peace. Why was he eager to run around to other places? “Not all tests can be done in the gym. If you are interested in power boosts, you should think about the possibility that you got an ability after our marking. Dark magic blocked it, but now that it’s gone, you should be able to tap into your ability.”

Dayson’s eyes lit up. Could he turn invisible? Or fly? Or something else super-handy? “How do I do that?”

“I don’t know.”, Talia admitted. “Axel told me that sometimes it takes months to figure out what your power is and how to use it.” She remembered Axel telling her about useless abilities like detaching one’s limbs at will, and that some people never tap into their abilities, but she didn’t want to dampen Dayson’s enthusiasm. “You could talk to Cornelia about feeling the energies but be wary if she asks for another payment.” It would be one thing if Cornelia wanted money, but Talia had a feeling that human money won’t interest witches.

Dayson pouted for a second but then he shook it off. It didn’t matter. They had so many things to deal with, that him figuring out if he had some mysterious ability was low on the list of priorities.

What really mattered was that Talia was back in his arms and her proximity made his soul hum in pleasure.

Dayson’s heart skipped a beat at the sight of Talia’s honeyed eyes that smiled at him. He could see the happiness radiating from her and it seeped into him and bounced inside his chest, and Dayson was confident that he could fly just from this feeling alone, without the need of any mysterious ability.

“Are you happy?”, he asked. He really wanted to hear her say it.

“Very much.”, Talia responded. “Do you think that all mates are happy together?”

“I am not an expert in that topic, but I heard that the Moon Goddess matches us with our mates for a reason.”

“Why do you think she matched us?”

Dayson paused while thinking how to answer. Since they met, Talia bloomed from a scared girl in the attic into a confident young woman who can kick the ass of any Alpha who dares to challenge her. But Dayson thought that his changes were more drastic.

“I am addicted to you, kitten. Your mind, your soul, the touch of your skin, I need them all, or I will suffocate. You run through my system like ice and fire, and I realized that I didn’t know how to live before we met. But most of all, I believe that the Moon Goddess matched us because it was our time to be happy.”

Talia smiled foolishly. She really didn’t expect this confession.

“I wish that every person can find her or his mate.”, Talia said, and she really meant it. “Do you think we can organize some kind of a mixer for unmated pack members and invite people from other packs?”
