Dayson didn’t get it. Does Talia need to pray or take a bath in holy water? ‘Go on.’
‘It is known that we recuperate faster from illness and injuries when our mate is nearby.’
Dayson perked up. ‘Are you saying that if she is with her mate, the probability of her wolf awakening will increase?’
‘It’s just a guess, but it’s worth trying. That’s if we can find out who her mate is. Considering that her wolf is weak to the point of her being unable to shift, she probably can’t find her mate, but he should be able to identify her.’
Dayson nodded at these words. Travis is smart. Dayson’s mood dropped drastically when he heard Travis’s next words.
‘If we expose Talia to unmated males and let her interact with them, the closer the better…’
‘ENOUGH!’, Dayson roared into the mind-link. What was that nonsense about exposing Talia to unmated males? What if some of them make a move on her? What if she ends up liking someone? Dayson was back to thinking about locking Talia in her room.
‘Alpha?’, Travis asked weakly while wondering what did he do.
Dayson took a few breaths before responding, ‘Good work, Travis. Let me know if you come up with some other ideas.’ He cut off the mind-link before Travis could respond.
Part of Dayson approved the news Travis gave him because now he had a medical reason to stick close to Talia. The only problem was how to make it look natural and not spook her.
Back to the present…
Dayson downed the amber liquid from his glass and remembered Talia’s focused expression while she sorted the mail that afternoon.
Was that job essential? Absolutely not.
If there is anything important, Dayson gets it in email while urgent matters are discussed over the phone, and only copies are sent through regular mail. But he wanted to keep Talia with him.
When Talia finished sorting that mail, Dayson asked her to get them some snacks from the kitchen.
Talia returned with apples, grapes, and pineapples, and Dayson asked her to feed him, with an excuse that his hands were busy.
He truly enjoyed the feeding service Talia provided.
After that, Dayson gave Talia a task to place documents he previously signed in corresponding filing cabinets. That would be Maya’s or Jaeden’s job, in the evening, but Talia did it perfectly.
It was mid-afternoon when Maya peeked into Dayson’s office and when she saw that Talia was busy, they agreed to do their walk the next day.
According to Dayson, everything played out perfectly. He finished his work and got to enjoy Talia’s presence. Just knowing that she was there put his mind at ease, and he was able to focus on things that needed to be done.
…
Talia put on the oversized tank top (aka the sleepwear) and looked at her image in the mirror above the sink of her bathroom.
She thought how another day passed in the Shadow Fang pack and she didn’t decide if she will stay or leave, and other than helping with dinner preparation, she didn’t make much progress toward learning something useful that will lead toward her independence.
OK. The appointment with Doctor Travis was good because she got the book, but she didn’t get a chance to read it.
She spent the afternoon in Dayson’s study, and overall, she didn’t hate it.
Talia was uncomfortable at first. Who eats sandwiches while holding hands?
But after that, Dayson gave her work to do, and he said that he trusts her.
From the mail she went through, Talia got a glimpse into the Shadow Fang pack and Alpha Dayson.
There were reports on movements of the rogues, and she found out that Alpha Dayson is collaborating with several other packs on not only handling rogues, but also on resettling refugees and finding them jobs. Dayson also donates to an orphanage in the Blue River pack and is the main contact for a coven of witches who are responsible for creating a memory potion that will erase memories from humans who saw werewolves.
She also saw several letters in which members of other packs confirmed their attendance at the Summer Solstice festival. Some guests are high-ranking members of other packs, and there were several teams who are coming to compete in various sports.
Talia thought that the festival is only for the Shadow Fang pack, but now that she confirmed how people from other packs will come as well, she realized that it will be on a much bigger scale and her heart fluttered from excitement. She couldn’t believe that she will get to attend such a festival. It will be her first.
Other than asking Talia to feed him, Alpha Dayson didn’t tease her and he was dedicated to his work.
He went through numerous documents on paper and his computer, and other than a few brief phone calls, he worked in silence.
This was another side of Alpha Dayson that Talia got to see.
He was serious and focused, and he projected the aura of a reliable and knowledgeable Alpha, someone worthy of leading the largest pack in North America. Her opinion of him rose by a few notches.
Talia was surprised when Dayson said, “When you finish sorting those from your hands, you can go to the kitchen. Steph is looking for you.”
“Is it already time for dinner?”
She didn’t realize how quickly the time passed.
That afternoon was an eye-opener for Talia. She thought that being an Alpha means bossing around between attending (or hosting) parties, but now she saw that there is a lot of work in order to lead a pack. Fascinating.
Talia helped Stephanie and she wanted to clean up after dinner, but Stephanie said that there is no need because post-dinner cleanup is done by a few Omegas, so Talia went to the garden for some fresh air, and then she went to her room to call it a day, with an intention to freshen up and read the book Doctor Travis gave her until she gets sleepy.
And here is Talia, ready to get sleepy with a book.
Talia exited the bathroom and paused at the sight of Alpha Dayson who was on her bed, with his back resting on the headboard, fiddling with his phone.
His hair was damp and slightly messy, a giveaway that he showered, and his light gray t-shirt and dark gray sweatpants didn’t hide his impressive physique.
It was a mesmerizing sight, but after a few seconds, Talia pulled herself from her daze and wondered, why is Alpha Dayson in her bed again?
Dayson turned to look at Talia who was standing at the door of the bathroom, and his eyebrows rose in approval.
That oversized tank top covered Talia’s private parts, but it was also low on the chest, giving him a glimpse of Talia’s cleavage… high on the thighs, exposing her legs, and loose around arms… Dayson swallowed hard as the image of Talia’s side-boob flashed in his mind. Yup, he remembered that.
He really wanted to suck her there. Everywhere.
Talia squirmed under Dayson’s gaze. Why did he look at her like she was naked?
Talia was about to tug the tank top and cover her legs more, but she held that urge back due to fear of how that will lower the opening at her neck and expose her girls, so she just pressed her legs together and folded her arms over her stomach in a feeble attempt to protect herself from Dayson’s x-ray vision.
“Can I help you?”, Talia asked.
Dayson tilted his head and smiled a little. “There is no need to be so cautious, wife. Do you remember me treating your injuries in the hotel room? I’ve seen and touched almost everywhere.” Emphasis on ‘almost’.
Talia exhaled helplessly. The playful Dayson is here.
She decided to get to the point because asking in a roundabout way will only give him more material to tease her. “Why are you here?”
“I’m here to sleep.”, Dayson said like it’s a totally normal thing. “I was waiting for you to finish your evening routine, my dear wife.”
He patted the bed next to him, obviously telling her to join him.
