Chapter 870 – Hidden Desires of the Werewolf King Novel

Filed To Story: Veiled Desires of the Alpha King Novel

“YES!” Kalina screamed. “I knew it! Victory is MINE!”

Olivia flinched, unsure what was going on, but then Tatiana pushed a black-and-white dress into her hands with, “The ceremony won’t wait for you.”

Tatiana’s tone told Olivia that this was nonnegotiable, and she scurried into the bathroom.

Kalina was jumping for joy.

“Lina!” Talia called sternly. “Stop jumping!”

Kalina looked at her feet. “Are you afraid I will break a heel or damage your carpet?”

Talia giggled. “None. But I fear you might hurt your pup.”

Kalina’s jaw fell open slack. “What did you say?”

“Did you say that Kalina is pregnant!?” Tatiana shrieked while holding onto her belly. Out of all the bellies in the room, Tatiana’s was the biggest one. “Are you sure?”

Talia confirmed with a confident nod.

Kalina sat on the sofa in slow motion, and she held onto her stomach. She didn’t get pregnant during her first heat, so she didn’t dare to hope that the second time would be much better, but this… was wonderful.

“Please, don’t tell Tony. I want to surprise him,” Kalina said, and females murmured in agreement.

The door of the room flew open to show Maya come in breathily. “Am I late?”

Talia greeted her with a smile. “No, you are just on time.”

“We thought you won’t make it, considering that you went into heat four days ago,” Cornelia said.

Maya responded with a stiff smile while swallowing the pinch at the back of her throat.

Maya’s previous heat was just over a month ago. Talia predicted it in advance, so Maya and Jaeden planned a vacation getaway where they could focus on making a pup. Maya was optimistic, but it didn’t happen.

The heat four days ago hit her unexpectedly. It’s normal for heats to be about six months apart, and this was unusual. Maya asked Talia if Talia had anything to do with it, but Talia didn’t deny or confirm her involvement.

“My pheromones are in check. I can do this,” Maya said bravely.

Talia walked to Maya and hugged her.

“Of course, you can do this,” Talia said and leaned closer to say in a whisper, “Take it easy. You don’t want to overwork yourself in your condition.”

Maya’s whole body froze. “What did you say?”

Talia smiled, and she closed her eyes. “Three pups.”

Maya was confident that the world stopped spinning, and everything stilled, including Talia who was standing right in front of her.

“What did you say?” Maya asked in a whisper.

Talia smiled. “Triplets, Maya.” She knew about Maya’s worries, so she assured her. “I am positive.”

“Woah, Jaeden is a stud! He can nail them three-in-one.” Mindy exclaimed.

“My cousin had four pups at the time,” Trisha said. “It’s a lot of work.”

“Who cares if it’s one or four? When it gets hard, she can ask us for help,” Dawn said while rubbing her perfectly flat stomach. There was a pup inside there, and she couldn’t wait for her stomach to start showing.

“Well, congratulations!” Zina exclaimed, and all females gathered around Maya to chatter excitedly while Maya was technically unresponsive.

The door flew open, and Jaeden stood there.

Jaeden was rushing to dress up in dark gray pants and a white shirt when he felt Maya’s unstable mood.

Maya’s last heat came unexpectedly, and it was an emotional experience for both of them as they wondered if this was the Moon Goddess giving them another chance or if she was punishing them by giving hope when there was none.

Jaeden wouldn’t think less of Maya if she couldn’t give him a pup, but he knew that it was important to her. Maya and Jaeden went to get checked after their second heat with no pup, and Doctor Travis said there was nothing physically wrong with either of them, but Jaeden knew that in this situation, usually, everyone would point fingers at the female.

Jaeden didn’t want anyone to think bad of Maya, was she bullied?

Jaeden was unsure what to expect when he got here, but why were all these women ganging up on his mate?

“Maya! Are you alright?” Jaeden exclaimed while pushing Zina and Daria so he could pass between them and by the time Maya got into his sight, he saw her sobbing and full-blown ugly crying.

“Stay away from her!” Jaeden shouted angrily, and he wrapped his arms around Maya to pull her away from others.

He had no idea what was going on, but it couldn’t be good. Did they harass his mate? And why was everyone just standing there and not saying anything?

Even Talia was looking at them with a smile on her face, and she was supposed to be the compassionate one!

Jaeden cupped Maya’s cheeks and wiped her tears with his palms. “Shh… it will be alright, love… let me take you out of here.”

“Pups…” Maya said through sobs.

Jaeden was not sure if he heard her right. “What?”

Maya sniffled. “Pups, Jaeden. Three of them.”

Jaeden’s eyes widened to the point of hurting, and then his mouth stretched into the biggest grin ever. “Are you sure?”

“She is sure,” Talia responded. “Congratulations.”

Jaeden felt like shouting, crying, and jumping for joy at the same time. He embraced Maya tightly and buried his face into her hair. He whispered something for Maya to hear, and she nodded while fisting his shirt.

“You are not… supposed to… go… there…” Mario’s strained voice was heard from the hallway, and soon after, they could see Dayson standing at the door with Mario hugging Dayson’s thigh.

Mario looked at Tatiana pitifully. “I’m sorry, T. I told him not to come and that it’s bad luck, but I couldn’t stop him.”

Tatiana stood in front of Talia to block Dayson’s view. “Didn’t you hear Mario? It’s bad luck to see the bride in her wedding gown.”

Dayson sneered. “If there is any bad luck, I will punch it in the face. As for this insect…” Dayson looked down at Mario, and he twisted his body unexpectedly with such force that Mario shrieked as he flew down the hallway.

“He is human!” Tatiana angry whispered.

Dayson straightened the lapels of his black suit jacket. “I told him more than once not to touch me.” Mario was giving Dayson heebie-jeebies.

Tatiana was torn. Should she keep blocking Dayson’s view? Or go to check on Mario? What if he died from the impact?

Talia peeked from behind Tatiana, and Dayson’s eyes lit up. That was his kitten right there!

Talia stepped to her right, but Tatiana followed at the same time, and Dayson frowned in disapproval.

“Tell your mate not to stand in my way, or I won’t be responsible for the consequences,” Dayson said.

Tatiana frowned. “With whom are you…?” Her voice trailed when she saw Maddox at the door.

“Come, love,” Maddox coaxed Tatiana away from Talia.

God knows what Dayson would do if Tatiana kept standing between the lovebirds. They all heard about Gregory’s test and how Dayson killed a female without hesitation.

Sure, Tatiana was an Alpha female, and she wouldn’t snap easily like a dry twig, but Maddox didn’t want to clash with Dayson.

Dayson had an advantage before, and Maddox could take him down with little luck. However, since Dayson turned into a black Alpha despot, Maddox knew he would set himself up for suffering. The only one who could control Dayson was Talia, and unfortunately, she had developed a mischievous side lately.

“Dayson hurt Mario,” Tatiana said to Maddox.

“He will be fine.” Probably. How Maddox saw this, hurting Mario wouldn’t be a bad thing. Mario was too touchy-feely for his own good.

A brilliant idea formed in Maddox’s mind! He can go out with the pretense of checking on the pesky assistant and kick him while unconscious. A fragile human could die easily, and they would blame Dayson for injuries…

Tatiana narrowed her eyes at Maddox. “Why are YOU here? Weren’t you supposed to keep an eye on Dayson?”

“I am keeping my eyes on him. That’s why I’m here.”

Tatiana gaped at Maddox. “Your job was to keep him away from here, not join him.”

Maddox pouted. “Why are you talking like I’m the only one?”

Tatiana had a bad feeling about this. Did this mean there were more males on their way?

She couldn’t believe her eyes when James appeared at the door, and he went straight for Cornelia. And then there were Cristian, Tony, Kai, George, Axel, Owen… and Tatiana gave up.

James sat on the sofa next to Cornelia, and he kissed her belly twice, and then he went for her lips. Cornelia giggled while lacing her perfectly manicured fingers in James’ blonde hair, and they were making out like no one was watching.

Mindy met Gideon halfway, and she twirled on her toes to give him a good view of herself from every angle. Gideon hummed in approval. His pumpkin-infused princess was beautiful.

Mindy eyed her handsome mate, who was sharp in a well-fitted dark gray suit. And he smelled of lavender. Intoxicating.

“Are we dancing tonight?” Mindy asked coyly.

Gideon smirked. “I’ve got my dancing shoes on, princess.”

Mindy leaned to give him a smacking kiss on the lips. Before she could pull back from the kiss, Gideon’s hand was at the back of her neck, and he held her in place while deepening the kiss.

Maddox turned his back to Mindy and Gideon. Yes, they were mated for a while and expecting a pup, but seeing his baby sister with someone else’s tongue down her throat was unpleasant.

“I thought you guys were supposed to head to the venue first, and ladies would join you later,” Yasmin said to Axel.

“Isn’t it better if we all go together?” Axel responded with a question while appreciating Yasmin’s look in her black and white sparkly dress. She was enchanting.
