Chapter 282 – Veiled Desires of the Alpha King Novel

Filed To Story: Veiled Desires of the Alpha King Novel

Marcy was flabbergasted. She checked maps. With a plane, it will be only a few hours, while driving will take up a full day! Sure, plane rides are uncomfortable for werewolves, but what’s a bit of discomfort in exchange for saving hours?

“I am fine with flying.”, Marcy said.

“But Nora isn’t.”, Alpha Edward deadpanned.

Marcy was not sure if she heard him right. She had a hunch that Nora will tag along, but somehow, she hoped to avoid it.

“Nora is coming with me?”

“I will watch your back and make sure you are not mistreated.”, Nora chimed in from the side.

Marcy gritted her teeth. Yeah, right. She would rather have a pack of feral dogs to watch her back.

Other than telling Alpha Edward about every move Marcy makes, will Nora try to sabotage Marcy on the way to the Shadow Fang pack, or after they reach there? Or maybe Nora is tagging along so that she can get into Alpha Dayson’s bed again? Maybe it’s all of those.

Alpha Edward nodded in approval of Nora’s words before adding. “James will also accompany you.”

Marcy looked at her fifteen years-old brother without returning his smile. “Why is he coming?”

“Nora got information that Alpha Dayson is hosting a group of people at this time. Alpha Maddox from the Blue River pack and future Alpha Anthony from the Lightclaw pack. Their visit is not purely social, as they will be training, and this is a great opportunity for James to expand his horizons.”, Alpha Edward gave an unusually lengthy explanation. “As a bonus, Mindy from the Blue River pack will be there, and also Kalina, the future Luna of the Lightclaw pack. Use this opportunity to befriend them.”

Marcy’s stomach was tied into knots at the memory of Mindy, Kalina, and Talia gelling well at the party while ignoring everyone else, Marcy included.

Those three were laughing and having a good time, while the rest of the guests gossiped about Marcy like she was the abandoned mistress! Marcy will never forget that embarrassment.

But never mind, she will swallow her grievances, for now. Once Marcy becomes the Luna of the Shadow Fang pack, she will show everyone where they belong.

Marcy wanted to know only one thing. “What about security?”

“I handpicked a number of warriors to accompany you, but it seems that everyone else will be there without security, so”

Marcy couldn’t believe this. “You are letting us go unprotected?” It’s not that she feared thieves or being kidnapped. Marcy’s biggest concern was Nora. Sure, her brother was going, but he is useless.

Alpha Edward raised his hand, indicating to Marcy to be patient. “I didn’t say that. But I can’t send many warriors with you without arousing suspicion. This is a delicate time where we need to show goodwill and not provoke Alpha Dayson. Once you become his Luna, we can act freely, but until then…” He made a face like his hands are tied before continuing, “I came up with something in-bet**en. With a pretense of training, my most capable commander will accompany you.”

Marcy was NOT happy about this. “One warrior?”

“Don’t be dramatic. It’s not like I’m sending you to war. Alpha Dayson’s pack is safe, and with your identity as my daughter, no one will dare to harm you. Besides, my commanders are not just warriors. They are well trained in strategizing, leadership, and decision-making.”, Alpha Edward said matter-of-factly. “Actually, the man who will accompany you is the second reason I called you here. He is on his way, and I want you to meet him. Even though he is young, his skills are top-notch, and his aura is domineering enough for him to qualify as a high-ranking member. Too bad he is lacking experience, but that will change by the time James takes over this pack”

Marcy was not listening anymore.

It was rare for her father to praise a person, but she didn’t care how awesome this commander is. Unless he has eyes at the back of his head, doesn’t need to sleep, and won’t keep Nora out of his sight, he was simply not enough.

Marcy was hoping that with a larger party, there will be more people keeping Nora in check, but what can one person do? And it didn’t seem that her father will assign more people. He made up his mind and Marcy will need to work with what she has.

Marcy plastered a smile on her face while looking blankly at her father and waiting for him to finish so that she can leave. All this was exhausting, but in a way, she could see the end of her road. Once she reaches the Shadow Fang pack, it will be Marcy and Alpha Dayson, and once she secures her spot as Dayson’s Luna, she can do what she wants. Yes. That thought was making her smile more genuine.

The door opened behind Marcy after a brief knock, and everyone other than Marcy turned to see the newcomer.

Marcy guessed this was the commander that earned high praises from her father. She schooled her features in preparation to face him because she wanted this to start on a good note, but then an addictive scent of sweet clover hit her senses and she froze.

She knew this scent well. It was the scent she couldn’t get out of her mind since she sensed it the first time at her welcoming party.

Alpha Edward stood up, an obvious respect for the newcomer. “Marcy, I want you to meet the highest-ranking commander in the Red Moon pack. George.”

That name struck Marcy like a thunderbolt and her head whipped in the direction of the door to meet the Greek God who haunted her dreams.

George.

Marcy couldn’t snap out of her daze that was muddled by the excitement of her wolf. Marcy didn’t feel her wolf in some time, yet now she was coming back. Did that mean she was not having a nightmare and the guy in front of her was real?

“George, this is my daughter, Marcy. I was just praising your abilities.”

George’s eyes didn’t leave Alpha Edward. “You flatter me, Alpha.”

Alpha Edward bobbed his head in approval. He noticed that whoever saw Marcy, their gazes couldn’t stop roaming her body, after all, werewolves are licentious creatures and Marcy is a good-looking she-wolf, yet commander George knew that Marcy is forbidden fruit. This confirmed Alpha Edward’s previous assessment that George is the right person to escort Marcy.

“This is what I like about you. Always humble”, and you know your place, “no matter how high you reach.”, Alpha Edward said to George and then spoke to Marcy who was still gaping at the newcomer like someone stuck two invisible fi**gers in her mouth.

“George is undefeated among commanders, and he can get any benefits he wants, yet he always volunteers for missions, stays late at the training grounds to work with warriors, and he even helps with cleanup. Despite his young age, he is one of the pillars of the Red Moon pack, and also a great role model for James.”

“It’s my honor to personally train the future Alpha.”, George responded.

“James is lucky to have you. We all are.” Alpha Edward turned to Marcy. “George will keep you safe. I trust his abilities, and you should as well.”

Marcy nodded absentmindedly while trying to wr*p her mind around this bombshell. What the hell?

Is this Greek God with a head full of brown hair and gorgeous chocolate eyes the same George who she identified as her mate at her welcoming party a few weeks ago? The same one she rejected?

But wasn’t he an Omega? How did he turn into the highly-praised commander? And why did he smell so delicious? She couldn’t stop staring at him. The man was simply too handsome.

Marcy wanted to ask if he is the same guy, but her father was there, and George barely spared her a glance. He was standing ramrod straight with his arms behind his back, and Marcy was struggling to maintain her composure.

“Marcy Marcy!”

Alpha Edward’s stern voice pulled Marcy out of her thoughts.

“Aren’t you going to greet George? Where are your manners?”

Marcy blinked at her father in confusion and then she plastered a smile on her face while extending her hand for a handshake.

“I am Marcy. It’s a pleasure to meet you, commander.”

George looked at Marcy’s hand for a moment before returning the gesture.

“Call me, George.”, he said, and his eyes flashed with something unfathomable when their hands connected. His l*ps lifted into a half-smile that didn’t reach his eyes. “Trust me, the pleasure is mine.”

The handshake lasted only for a second, but Marcy clearly felt the sparks. How was that possible? Didn’t she reject him? She had so many questions, but she couldn’t ask any of them in front of her father. Oh, and James and Nora were there also, watching them carefully.
