Chapter 768 – Hidden Desires of the Werewolf King Novel

He moved away to see her face. “How are you feeling? Nausea? Hunger? Should I order something light with ginger tea?”

“Ginger tea?” Talia asked. She was never much into teas, and she never drank one made of ginger.

Dayson smiled smugly. “I did online research about reducing nausea during pregnancy.”

Talia’s heart expanded. A mighty Alpha was finding nausea medicine because she vomited last night. While thinking about that, Talia hoped it was an isolated incident.

“The food last night was delicious. It was such a waste that I couldn’t digest it.”

Dayson chuckled. “Don’t worry, kitten. There will be plenty of delicious things in the future. How about now? Breakfast? What do you say?”

Talia refused. “Later. I just woke up.”

Dayson hummed in agreement. “Let me know when you are hungry, and we can order.”

“When will we return home?” Talia asked.

Dayson loved that she called it home. “First, we will eat. Until you are ready for food, we can relax and cuddle. But before that…”

He released Talia from his hold and slid down her body. “I want to say good morning to my baby.”

Dayson got down until his head was on the same level as her crotch area. He spread Talia’s legs to position himself at the center and stared at her intimate bush.

Talia inhaled sharply when he licked her clit in one mighty stroke.

“Dam… Dayson.” She called shakily. “How is that good morning to the baby?”

She thought he would talk down there and not lick.

Dayson grinned. “It’s a good morning for my mate who is carrying my child.” He kissed the inside of her thigh. “I will make you feel good, kitten, and I will do it every morning. Whenever you feel good, our baby will be happy because she will know I adore you. Let me show you how much I love you.”

He buried his face into her.

“Good morning, sunshine…” Dayson mumbled; the vibration of his voice made Talia’s body tremble in ecstatic quivers, and then he lapped at her, collecting her love nectar that was sweet and citrusy. His favorite.

Talia would laugh at Dayson’s silly antics, but the only thing she could do was moan. Damn, he was good.

…

It was late afternoon when Talia and Dayson returned to the packhouse.

Dayson turned off the engine of his black armored Lexus SUV. He wanted to go out and open the door for her, but Talia held his hand firmly, indicating that she wanted to stay in the car a bit longer.

“Is there something on your mind?” Dayson asked.

“It’s about the pregnancy. I would like to keep this for ourselves.” She had been thinking about it since they left the hotel. Now that she is pregnant, people will know she can’t shift into her wolf form, and Dayson will be extra-protective of her. She didn’t want this to be used against them.

Dayson thought for a moment before responding. “I want you to get a checkup, kitten. If not by Travis, we can go to the human town. But they are humans, so…”

“Travis is OK,” Talia said. She trusted him. “And we can tell Maya and Jaeden.”

Dayson agreed. “Alright. We won’t tell anyone else until you are ready.”

Dayson and Talia found Maya, Jaeden, Mindy, and Gideon in the living room. They were snacking on bite-sized appetizers, and the mood was good.

After they exchanged greetings, Talia asked, “What did we miss?”

“Three more people from the Midnight Guardians pack found mates!” Maya announced proudly. “We are down to six people. You should contact Axel and ask for more if you didn’t already.”

Talia was delighted to hear this news. After so much time without hope, fourteen people found their mates just like that. Normally, it would mean newly mated couples will go to the Midnight Guardians pack and stay there. It was exciting for those who needed to go, but it was also sad because they would leave their friends and family behind. But now, it was different.

Axel, Talia, and Dayson agreed to keep the newly mated couples in the Midnight Guardians pack until their abilities stabilize and they learn to control them. After that, they will get to pick where they want to live. It will strengthen the bond between packs.

“I will give Axel a call,” Talia said. It’s been more than a day since they left, and that would be a month for Axel. They probably went to the Silver Flame Coven and returned. Talia was curious to hear if more people found mates.

Talia glanced at Mindy and Gideon, who were sitting on the sofa so close to each other that any closer and Mindy would end up on Gideon’s lap. Talia remembered that they had come out of their seclusion.

‘Is she pregnant?’ Talia asked Liseli.

‘Yes.’ One word response came.

Talia’s lips lifted into a smile she could not suppress, and Mindy noticed.

“What?”

“Do you want to know?” Talia asked.

Mindy was confused. “Know what?”

“Oh, oh!” Maya got it. “Talia can sense pregnancy.”

Maya was bouncing in her seat. If Mindy were not pregnant, Talia wouldn’t bring it up.

Mindy and Gideon stared at Talia.

“Can you sense it now?” Gideon asked breathily, his face red from excitement.

Talia wiggled her eyebrows and responded with a nod.

All color drained from Gideon’s face, and he became pale as a ghost.

“Ah!” Mindy shrieked half due to her delight and half because Gideon fell limply on the sofa. Was he about to pass out?

Mindy slapped Gideon’s cheeks. “Why are you overreacting? I was in heat, and considering what we did, it should be expected.”

“Hold me, princess. The world is spinning faster, and I might fall off from it,” Gideon said.

Mindy giggled and hugged him with all her might. “Get a hold of yourself. If anyone sees their mighty Shaman in such a state, they will crack jokes.”

“Shaman or not, I am just a man,” Gideon said. “I waited so long that I lost hope I will find my other half and have a family, and…” He inhaled a shaky breath. “Then you showed up and proved that I was an idiot for thinking that the Moon Goddess forgot about me. She was taking extra time in creating you so that you are perfect inside and out.”

Mindy smiled foolishly at Gideon. How could he talk so sweetly with all the audience?

Gideon groaned and Maya rolled her eyes while suppressing giggles that were bubbling in her stomach.

“You are next,” Talia said to Maya. “Are you making plans for your time off?”

“Jaeden has it all figured out,” Maya said.

Maya was smiling, but the truth was that she was anxious. She had heat a few times since Jaeden marked her but a baby didn’t happen. Maya and Jaeden told themselves that the timing was not right, the Shadow Fang pack needed them as their Betas, but those were just excuses after they found out that Maya was not pregnant.

Maya hoped that Talia had the power to fix whatever was wrong because most of the couples got pregnant during their first heat and by the second one nearly everyone had a baby. What if she can’t have a baby? Will Jaeden love her less?

“Oy!” Jaeden exclaimed, and Maya jolted.

“Maybe you should take that home!” Jaeden grumbled.

Gideon’s hand was under Mindy’s shirt, and it was getting steamy.

Werewolves are licentious and without shame, but this was the living room of the packhouse with people right there!

Gideon groaned in displeasure when Jaeden popped their lovey-dovey bubble. He was hard and ready and… this was not the place!

“How about we move to one of the guest bedrooms?” Gideon said to Mindy like no one else was there.

Mindy giggled. She gave him a smacking kiss on the lips before straightening her shirt. “Now that we know I’m pregnant, we should see Doctor Travis. Can he do a checkup this early? I also want to call home and tell my family. Maybe we should do something special tonight?”

There was a silent promise of many pleasures in Mindy’s words, and Gideon’s throat went dry as his mood was fluctuating.

He wanted to make it special, but he also wanted to make it NOW! However, he couldn’t disappoint his pumpkin-infused princess, so he released a long breath with, “We will do what you want. How about you contact Travis and your family, and I figure out something special for tonight?”

Mindy agreed.

She hopped on her feet and hurried to Talia to give her a hug.

“Thank you, for telling us about the baby,” Mindy said.

“You are welcome,” Talia responded with a smile while patting Mindy’s back. “You probably shouldn’t jump and rush like that. What if you trip and fall and get hurt?”

Seeing that Mindy didn’t move, Talia asked, “Mindy? Are you OK?”

Mindy sniffed the air around Talia’s head. “Why is your scent different?” Mindy inched away and narrowed her eyes at Talia. “You had your heat also. Are you pregnant?”

Talia gaped at Mindy. It was supposed to be a secret, but it seemed that an Alpha nose was not to be underestimated.

Talia couldn’t lie. “Yes.”

“What!?” Maya shrieked. “You are? When did you find out!?”

“Last night,” Talia admitted guiltily. “We were having dinner and I got sick and… it was pregnancy sickness.”

‘CRASH!’

A loud clatter and glass breaking were heard from the door as Zina dropped the tray from her hands.

“What did you say? Who is pregnant?”, Zina asked breathily.

“She is,” Talia and Mindy said in unison while pointing at each other.

Talia exhaled helplessly. Now Zina knew also! So much for keeping secrets.

Zina was hugging Talia and Mindy, and Maya joined in the girly hug while Jaeden and Gideon patted Dayson’s shoulder.
