Chapter 851 – Hidden Desires of the Werewolf King Novel

Filed To Story: Veiled Desires of the Alpha King Novel

Gregory’s eyes darted to his right to see Talia and Declyn there. Dayson also looked in that direction, but he couldn’t see anything out of place.

“You think you can kill me? What if I told you that you can’t put a scratch on me?” Gregory asked mockingly.

Dayson was about to respond, but he found himself unable to move. It was like his every muscle froze and started prickling painfully.

“You mortals should learn your place,” Gregory said in a low voice while walking unhurriedly toward Dayson. “You are overconfident because you are the strongest fish in your little pond.”

Gregory grinned, exposing his teeth. “Welcome to the ocean.”

Dayson groaned as his face contorted in pain. This hurt more than being stabbed with a wolfsbane-laced knife. His body bent, but he refused to fall to his knees.

“That’s it,” Gregory said, and he leaned closer to Dayson, his voice just above a whisper because he didn’t want Talia to hear this part. “Resist. Resist with all your might. If you just give up, you will spoil my fun. I won’t kill you. I will let you live so you can see Natalia standing by my side as my woman.”

Dayson’s eyes flashed in anger. What did the bastard say? He wanted to take Talia away? That’s not happening.

‘Old guy!’ Dayson shouted at his wolf. ‘If you have any tricks up your sleeve, now is a good time to come out clean!’

‘I’m giving you everything I can!’ Sapa shouted back. ‘Whatever this guy is doing, it’s suppressing me to the power of a pup!’

Dayson’s mind exploded. A pup!

If anything happened to him, who would take care of Talia? Who will take care of his pup? He would love it to be a girl, cute as Talia, but he wouldn’t hate it if it were a boy either.

Will he fall here so that Talia needs to raise their child alone? There were rogues and so many other issues, and he couldn’t leave Talia to deal with managing two packs without him. And then there was this old creep and his lust for Talia. Unacceptable!

Ever since his parents died, Dayson was lost in a routine of work and empty pleasures, and then Talia came and filled up all the holes he was unaware he had. Yes, he helped her leave the attic and train and learn, but he did it for himself because seeing Talia happy made him happy also. He lived for the moments when her honeyed eyes full of wonder would smile at him, and he would give anything to see that again.

The thought of this asshole forcing himself on Talia was driving Dayson to the brink of insanity.

Anger, dejection, and helplessness mixed to form something new, and blazing heat formed in the pit of Dayson’s stomach, rapidly expanding to burn him alive. Unknown energies swelled and condensed, threatening to wreck his body.

“You… fucker….” Dayson squeezed through his teeth and raised his head.

Gregory’s expression flashed with surprise when he realized that Dayson’s eyes had turned pitch black. And it was not just eyes. There was a layer of darkness concentrating around Dayson; combined with Dayson’s fierce expression, it made him look like the Devil himself.

“AAAAA!”

Dayson shouted as the darkness from him exploded in all directions, causing a gust of wind that canceled everything.

Dayson heaved as he straightened his posture and his hands balled into fists, crackling with the energy he had never felt before. It was like being reborn, and it came with a sense of complete dominance over all living creatures.

Talia stared at the scene with excitement that overtook her senses, and she didn’t notice that Declyn fell to his knees.

For Talia, this was more than Dayson breaking from Gregory’s influence. Talia could pick up all scents in the area and feel the trees and bushes, and there was their mate bond that filled her to the brim with admiration and love, and she just knew that her Dayson was back.

Did he finally awaken his ability? It looked like it.

‘POW!’

A solid punch landed on Gregory’s face, who was too stunned to react.

Gregory stumbled backward, and the snow didn’t do much to soften his fall. He held his throbbing cheek.

Gregory had never felt so vulnerable before, and if not for his extraordinary physique, he was confident that Dayson’s punch would cripple him. What the hell was going on?

“HAHAHAHA!”

Dayson laughed crazily, drunk on the energies that coursed through this system.

“You said I can’t put a scratch on you. Did I prove you wrong, or should I punch you again?”

Talia wanted to go to Dayson, but Declyn was quick to block her path.

“If you go there, you will be hurt,” he said.

Talia raised his gaze to meet Declyn’s eyes. “Keep standing between my mate and me, and I will make sure you regret it.”

Declyn swallowed hard as he stared into Talia’s silvery eyes, whose sharpness told him she meant business. He gave a small nod before moving to the side.

Gregory couldn’t believe what was happening. The surge of dark energy took away all his strength, and he felt the moment when it seeped into Dayson. What the hell was that? Was it possible that Dayson had the ability to cancel the Guardians’ powers? “How…?”

Dayson sneered. He was about to punch Gregory again when he felt a familiar presence approaching him rapidly from his left.

Dayson turned just in time to catch Talia as she jumped on him. Her arms wrapped around his neck, and her legs dangled in the air.

“I was so worried,” Talia whined while clinging onto Dayson, and she took a deep breath to fill her lungs with the scent of the forest and the dark chocolate. Her favorites.

Dayson held Talia tightly on him. “So was I. Did they hurt you?”

Talia shook her head. “I just got here. Dex was kind enough to bring me to you. What about you?”

“I’m fine,” Dayson said.

“How did you know that was not me?”

“She flinched. My kitten was never afraid of me.”

Talia stifled a laugh as her tense nerves loosened. Everything was better when she was with Dayson.

Talia moved to look at Dayson, and she paused at the sight of his usually icy blue eyes that were completely black now.

“Are you OK?” She asked.

Dayson smiled. “I am now.”

‘Is that your ability?’ Talia asked through their mind link.

‘I think so.’

‘What is it?’

‘Ass-whooping Guardians.’

Talia stifled a giggle. Dayson was cheeky, and she loved it. She loved him.

The scent, the sparks of their bond, the connection. It was all there. It didn’t matter where they were. As long as they were together, they were happy.

“I missed you,” Dayson spoke into her lips.

“I missed you more,” Talia responded and closed the minuscule distance between them to savor the touch of his lips on hers. She really missed him, and she needed to feel him everywhere so that her body knew things were back how they should be.

“Ugh,” Gregory groaned while getting up, and Talia and Dayson turned to look at him.

Talia stood next to Dayson, and they held hands with their fingers interlaced.

She raised her chin while talking to Gregory, “You were testing my mate by making him think some other female was me? What were you trying to accomplish?”

Gregory’s eyes moved from Talia to Dayson. She was surrounded by silvery light, and Dayson had a layer of darkness around him. Her eyes glowed in silvery light, and his were completely black. They were opposites, and Gregory would admire the sight or maybe fear them if not for the fact that his plan failed.

“He killed the female without hesitation. Didn’t you see that?” Gregory spoke to Talia. “Are you not bothered by it?”

“He killed her after confirming that was not me. Tricking an Alpha is treason and is punishable by death.”

Gregory frowned at Talia. “How can you be OK with him killing like that? She was tied to the tree, unable to defend herself!”

“Even if she were armed and free to move, it wouldn’t change the outcome,” Talia responded.

“As a Luna, you should be compassionate. Will you be so indifferent when you find out that the female in question was Yasmin from the Midnight Guardians pack?”

Talia frowned. What game was he playing? “There is no way Yasmin would die so easily.”

Dayson turned to look at Talia. “They have Yasmin?”

Talia confirmed. “Yasmin and the twins. They disappeared from the Midnight Guardians pack. We have no evidence it was the Guardians, but no one else could pull it off.”

Dayson gave Talia’s hand a squeeze. “Don’t worry, kitten, we will find them.”

Gregory snorted. “Do you think I will make it easy for you?”

Dayson extended his hand toward Gregory, and a wisp of darkness shot at the unsuspecting Guardian.

Gregory groaned and clutched his chest, where the darkness disappeared. It hurt like hell. Gregory had no idea what Dayson did or how he did it, but he realized that fighting against Dayson would be a mistake.

“Declyn!” Gregory shouted. “Help! Call others!” Seeing that Declyn didn’t move, Gregory’s eyes flashed in outrage. “Declyn! Are you rebelling?”

“This is not my fight,” Declyn said. “From the beginning, I told you that I don’t approve and that it will backfire.”

“You are one of us! It’s your duty to work for the benefit of our kind!”

“Says who? You? Who made you the boss of everything?” Declyn asked.

Gregory was considered a leader of the Guardians, but only because no one else bothered to fight for that title. And it didn’t mean anything other than staying in the castle.

Gregory frowned at Declyn. “I know you don’t approve of what I did to Vincent, but it was necessary.”

Declyn’s expression stiffened. “You were aware that his condition would deteriorate, yet you still went ahead to extract his memories. You expect me to listen to you? Do you think I’m stupid? Do you think that any of us is stupid? Look around. Julian, Bone, Marco, Ahmet, do you see any of them here? They all left because none wants to end up like Vin.”

Gregory couldn’t believe this. “You can’t do this.”

“I’m not doing anything,” Declyn responded. “You can’t treat us as pawns and expect us to follow your orders.”

Gregory’s face darkened. He wanted to squeeze the life out of Declyn, but he was feeling so weak that he couldn’t form a fist. And why were his powers not working? He knew it was related to Dayson, but he didn’t know when Dayson’s power would wear off, and then Gregory would show them who was in charge. He only needed to delay and recover.
