Chapter 700 – Hidden Desires of the Werewolf King Novel

Filed To Story: Veiled Desires of the Alpha King Novel

George wanted to issue an Alpha challenge right away and be done with it, but he also couldn’t rush it as a few more things needed to fall in place.

The situation in the Red Moon pack seemed as usual, but those who paid attention could sense changes in the air that were announcing big changes to come.

While Cornelia was in the shower, James was in the study of the packhouse with his father.

“You are aware of the upcoming Luna ceremony in the Blue River pack”, Alpha Edward said.

James confirmed. “Do you have instructions for me while you are away for that function?”

“You are coming with me.”

James paused. So far, Alpha Edward didn’t mention that James needed to come, so he assumed that only Alpha and Luna will go. Normally, Marcy would accompany them as well (or maybe go as Dayson’s future Luna), but things didn’t turn that way.

Marcy aside, James would often skip these external functions. He was aware that taking Cornelia with him would be dangerous, and he didn’t want to leave her behind. Minutes without her were torturous, yet now his father was asking him to attend an event that will last a few days.

James took a moment to calm down his restless wolf before asking calmly, “Is my presence there necessary?”

“Yes.”, Alpha Edward said with finality.

James had to try. “It’s just a party. Wouldn’t I be better off staying to train? What if something happens in the pack? Rogues will know that you are away.”

“If something happens, my Beta will handle it.”, Alpha Edward said. “You are not a child, and you need to show your face or people will forget I have an heir.”

James was not willing, but if he resisted, it will be against his persona of an obedient son. He needed a plan, but he didn’t have time to come up with one, so the only thing he could do was to agree. “I understand. Anything else?”

“Yes. I want you to study these.”

James frowned when he opened the folder his father gave him. It had three sheets of paper, each with information on a young woman with photos attached.

“What is this?”

“If you are going to philander, you might as well pick from these.”, Alpha Edward said.

James couldn’t believe this. His father was always talking about how Alphas need to show their proves on the battlefield and in the bedroom, but he never gave him files like this in advance.

James looked up to see Alpha Edward smirking at him.

“Do you think I don’t know you are spending nights outside the packhouse?”

James swallowed hard. He thought that he was careful, but it seemed that he underestimated how much his father was keeping an eye on him.

James’ heart was beating wildly. Was Cornelia in danger? He needed to confirm she was safe.

Damn it! He was thinking that he had months, yet only after a few days, his father found out about Cornelia!

Did she return from the Shadow Fang pack? Probably. Can he send her a message to run?

James jolted when Alpha Edward patted his shoulder. He was so out of it that he didn’t notice the old guy approaching him.

“Remember that your position is not allowing you to get attached to a nobody. Fun is fine, but she can’t be your Luna unless she has a good background. Understood?”

James relaxed a bit when he realized that his father only knew how James was sleeping elsewhere, without knowing about Cornelia.

“And one more thing…”, Alpha Edward said. “There is no need for you to hide in George’s house. You are the future Alpha and this whole pack is your playground. Feel free to bring any woman to the packhouse and kick her out when you are done.”

An angry growl bubbled in James’ chest. Did his father suggest that James should sleep with random women? The idea of him touching any woman other than his chocolate-colored Goddess was making his wolf feral, but James couldn’t allow his father to see that so he quickly lowered his head.

Alpha Edward burst into laughter.

“Are you shy now, son? Don’t be. It’s normal for Alphas to explore women. To be honest, I was suspecting that something was wrong with your appetite, but I see that things are how they should be since you returned from the Shadow Fang pack. It seems that Alpha Dayson was a good influence in that area.”

James really didn’t want to talk about it. Was it possible that his father forgot that Dayson found his Luna? Or did he think that Dayson was sleeping around despite Talia’s presence?

“Is that all?”, James asked.

“Yes, you may go. We are leaving tomorrow morning. Pack for three days. Other than attending a party, I expect you to wipe the floor with warriors from the Blue River pack. Now that Marcy is gone, you are the only one I have. Make me proud, son.”

James stood up, but then he paused to ask, “Who all is going?”

“The two of us, your mother, and Nora.”

For a brief moment, James was tempted to ask if he could bring Cornelia with him. He could say that he wants an Omega of his choice to accompany him, and they wouldn’t come out of James’ room. That would be fantastic! But that would work only if his father was not there. No matter what, he couldn’t risk Cornelia catching Alpha Edward’s eye.

Was it a mistake to bring her to the Red Moon pack? No, no… they were mated, and his wolf was going crazy in need to be with Cornelia. If they were apart, James would lose his mind. Literally.

James didn’t realize that he was running to George’s villa while clutching the folder his father gave him.

He ran up the stairs and into the room where he shared nights with Cornelia. His steps didn’t falter as he went with urgency toward the bathroom from where he could hear water running, and he managed to discard his clothes without stopping.

“AHH!”, Cornelia shrieked when James hugged her from behind.

She was naked in the shower, with soap in her eyes, and she didn’t hear him enter the bathroom.

“I missed you”, James spoke against Cornelia’s neck, and then he kissed the mark that was there. The mark that signified their bond, and that she was his.

Cornelia’s gasped at the electric sensation that fired up her nerve endings and her knees gave in. She was glad that James was holding her, or she would plop on the tiled floor of the shower enclosure.

Cornelia lifted her head up so that the water falls on her face and then she blinked the sting from her eyes.

She turned to look at James with a smile that faltered when she noticed that his expression was not good.

“What happened, Jay?”, she asked with concern obvious in her voice.

James didn’t want to talk about it. Not now. He didn’t want to talk or think about anything outside that shower enclosure.

He cupped her cheeks with his palms and kissed her hungrily, stealing her breath in the process.

Cornelia could feel his desperation and she clung to him while responding to his kisses, knowing that once he releases his steam, he will talk about it. And she was glad that he found solace in her. Mates should balance each other, that’s how it should be.

James grabbed her buttocks and started lifting her up. She thought that he will take her right there in the shower, and she was ready to wrap her legs around his waist, but he kept on lifting her higher and higher with ease, like she weighed nothing.

Cornelia would admire his strength if not for the lack of something to hold onto. She nervously gripped his shoulders and then fisted his hair, steadying herself on the rod that was holding the shower curtain when he lifted her high enough for her thighs to rest on his shoulders with his face right between them.

Cornelia looked down to see him staring at her intimate bush right at the moment when a low growl escaped his lips.

Cornelia’s back hit the wall and her palm pressed on the ceiling a moment before James buried his face into her, and his tongue started caressing her clit.

“Oh, Gods!”, she exclaimed. She saw it coming, but she was not prepared for the sensational overload which came with every flick of his tongue.

He lapped at her hungrily, growling and mumbling something she couldn’t understand, and her legs shook uncontrollably.

Cornelia hoped that he won’t let go because her body was not in her control anymore. She was at his mercy.

“Jay… Jay… James…”, she chanted wantonly, her every cry was higher in pitch and then her body tensed as the whole bathroom was spinning.

Only when she bent over him weakly did he stop sucking on her clit.
