Filed To Story: Veiled Desires of the Alpha King Novel
Dayson lost track of time when his focus was broken by a knock on the door.
“Come in!”, he called, and the door opened to show a tall blonde. It was Jade.
“Good morning, Alpha Dayson!”, she greeted him cheerfully as she made her way toward his desk in long steady steps with a small sway in her hips that was catwalk-worthy.
“Jade. To what do I owe this pleasure?”, Dayson asked.
“I called and I left you voicemails, but you didn’t respond.”, she said.
Dayson was not aware of that, but it wouldn’t be strange if he dismissed them as not important. “I am busy.”
Jade reached his desk and her eyes glanced over the documents. “I can see that. You are a busy man.”
Jade put her hands on his desk and leaned over it, her shirt falling to give him a good eyeful of her cleavage and the white lace of her bra. She saw him glancing there, shorter than she thought he will, but he still did it, so she smiled.
“I wonder if you thought about my proposition. We can scratch each other’s back.”
Dayson was not sure what proposition she was talking about. He opened his mouth to respond but his throat was painfully constricted, and he glanced at the open door behind Jade to see Talia there with a tray in her hands.
Why did this scene look so familiar?
‘CLANG!’
The tray, plates, and utensils fell on the floor loudly, and the food scattered as Talia dropped the tray out of her hands with force. It was obvious she did it on purpose.
Talia’s glare spoke volumes and Dayson tried to reach her through the mind-link, but she closed it off.
“Alpha Dayson”, Jade called while eyeing Talia. “It seems that your Omegas need to be educated on how to behave in front of high-ranking members. As your partner, I can help you with that.” She pointed at the mess at Talia’s feet. “You need to clean that up and you will pay for wasted food and anything that was broken.”
Talia barely heard anything of Jade’s haughty words as her icy gaze was directed at Dayson who was staring at her with shock and fear evident on his face.
Why did he look like a child who was caught stealing candy? Was he surprised that Talia saw him like that? How far would he allow Jade to go if Talia didn’t show up? WHEN WILL HE LEARN!?
The rage within Talia was rising exponentially. Bloodlust. Urge to break and smash and tear until nothing was left. Talia never felt anything like it and it scared her as she felt like a vicious beast was about to devour her.
Should she fight against the violence, or should she allow herself to be consumed by it?
Everything seemed like it moved in slow motion; Dayson got on his feet, and she saw him opening his mouth, but the only thing Talia heard was buzzing.
Talia didn’t care about Dayson’s words or Jade’s confused expression. She didn’t want to be there. She didn’t want to see Dayson or Jade and she definitely didn’t want her rage to explode and to hurt her most precious person.
With that, Talia turned on her heel and dashed into the hallway.
“Shit!”, Dayson cursed, and he rushed after Talia.
He didn’t expect that Jade will get so close and act provocatively, and he definitely didn’t think that she will treat Talia like an Omega. What’s up with these high-ranking bitches looking down on everyone!? He would give Jade a beating, but his first priority was to pacify Talia who was definitely furious, and something seemed off with her.
“Kitten!”, Dayson shouted after Talia who was already halfway down the staircase. “Wait!”
Talia’s steps froze. “Why? So that I see another woman seducing you?”
Talia recoiled when Dayson’s hand touched her shoulder. “DON’T TOUCH ME!”, Talia shouted. “DON’T YOU FUCKING TOUCH ME!”
Dayson raised his arms, palms toward Talia, silently telling her to calm down.
“Jade just arrived in the study, less than a minute before you. She only said, hi.” And there was a whole desk between them! Wasn’t Talia’s reaction exaggerated?
Talia sneered. “Sure, she just arrived and immediately offered to scratch your back. Is that protocol common for all Alphas or only you get frisky first and talk later? Why do I have a feeling that your itch is somewhere else?”
“Kitten, no…” Dayson abruptly stopped talking when Talia’s eyes started glowing in silver. She was definitely angry. “Can we talk about this?”
Talia’s nostrils flared, and she didn’t need to look behind Dayson to know that Jade was standing at the door of the study and watching them. The way how Jade didn’t cover in fear spoke volumes and Talia could see that Jade behaved as if she belonged there, in that study, with Dayson, and Jade acted like Talia was an outsider. All that pointed to only one possibility…
“Did you fuck her?”, Talia asked through her teeth.
Dayson’s expression froze for a moment and Talia closed her eyes.
“I can’t believe this.”, Talia said under her breath, and her fury turned into dejection as her heart broke into a million pieces. Will she ever get over this? Will she always be surrounded by women Dayson slept with? Was there a woman he DIDN’T sleep with?
Talia gasped for air. There was not enough of it.
Dayson panicked when he saw streaks of black in Talia’s silvery eyes.
“Kitten… Kitten…”
Talia could hear Dayson calling for her, and somehow she knew that his arms were around her, even though she couldn’t feel them.
“Don’t give in to the darkness”, he said, and the rest was choppy as Talia was losing consciousness. “I’m right here… You are my only one… Please… You need to fight this…”
…
Talia’s eyes fluttered open to see blurry faces. She blinked to get them in focus and inhaled a scent of lavender, basil, mint, and chamomile that was wafting from the nearby burner. It was a calming mix of herbs and Talia guessed that Shaman was nearby.
First, Talia recognized Mindy, and then Dawn and Zina.
Talia was lying on the sofa in the living room.
Talia looked around to see Gideon, George, and Dayson standing a bit further, and in the furthest chair was a head of blonde hair; it was the woman from the study that Dayson called Jade.
“Are you back with us?”, Mindy asked with concern obvious in her voice when she noticed Talia moving. “Stay down. Doctor Travis and Cornelia are on their way.”
“Kitten?” This was Dayson and he was already kneeling by the sofa where Talia was and holding her hand.
Talia’s eyes didn’t settle on him as she looked at Jade. “Why is she here?”
Everyone turned to look at Jade.
Talia lost consciousness on the staircase, and Dayson carried her to the living room while mind-linking Mindy, Dawn, and Zina who came quickly with Gideon and George, and they called Travis and also James to come back with Cornelia as soon as possible… and Jade just sat there in the chair, with no one paying attention to her.
