Dayson wanted to k**s her thoroughly, but he was painfully aware of all the audience, and he knew that Talia wouldn’t approve. His hold on her tightened. “Let’s go inside.” His booth is dark, and he can k**s her there.
…
Talia held her breath when they stepped into the Shifters nightclub and within a split second, all eyes were on them.
Talia remembered the scene of Dayson coming to the Shifters nightclub during the Summer Solstice festival. She was sitting at the bar, and she observed Dayson who stood on the elevated platform with Jaeden, Maddox, Mindy, and Axel. At that time, Dayson looked cool with a dangerous biker vibe, and she soaked in his presence hungrily even though she believed there was something going on bet**en Dayson and Mindy.
Talia realized that this was different. Instead of being one of many in the crowd, she was the one and only by Dayson’s side.
She swallowed a mouthful of air.
With so many eyes on her, Talia felt an urge to flee. She was not used to the attention, and she could hear whispers related to her identity that were like undercurrents stirring under the loud music blaring from the speakers.
[Who is that woman?]
[Alpha never brought a woman to the club.]
[Wait! Isn’t that our team spirit?]
[Doesn’t she look like the one who was with Alpha in the magazine?]
[Is it possible that’s the same person?]
[I think I saw her in the packhouse.]
[Did our Alpha finally acknowledge a woman?]
Talia was aware of Dayson’s colorful past that was filled with numerous women. However, no matter how many females passed through his hands, Dayson never displayed affection to any woman in public, and he would never show up with one by his side or allow her to associate herself with him, and this was different.
Dayson and Talia were standing on the platform, for everyone to see, with his arm around her waist. On their right were Dayson’s Betas, Maya and Jaeden, and on the other side were two prominent figures, Alpha Maddox and Mindy. The fact that Talia was in their company was another proof that she was not a random female, but that Dayson valued her, and that further stirred the crowd to speculate about her background.
Talia felt the urge to run away. Can she run away?
She agreed to come here with Dayson. Actually, she was looking forward to it.
What were her options?
With every passing moment, anxiety swelled within Talia, and she took a shaky breath while trying to compose herself. How can Dayson be so calm when everyone was watching?
Right! Dayson! He was the key to solving her predicament!
Talia was a nervous wreck, but Dayson wasn’t and if she could tap into his feelings, maybe she will find a way to survive this ordeal.
Well, there was no harm trying and she was out of ideas.
Talia focused on the invisible bond she shared with the exquisite male specimen by her side, and she felt pride.
Talia looked at Dayson as if she was trying to ascertain if she got it right.
Was he really proud of her?
Dayson glanced at Talia and when their eyes met, Talia forgot how to breathe.
His endlessly icy-blue eyes smiled at her, and she knew it was true. He was proud to have her by his side.
An inexplicable emotion bloomed inside Talia’s ch*st and her smile reflected the joy as her soul hummed in pleasure.
Her mate was proud of her.
Dayson didn’t see her as a nobody he found in the attic. He didn’t see her as a weak she-wolf without her wolf. He never did. For him, she was Talia, his mate, his everything, and at that point, it was all it mattered.
Tears swelled in Talia’s eyes as the emotions crashed on her with unexpected force. She dreamed about having a mate, a man who will accept her unconditionally and proudly show her around as his. And here was Dayson, fulfilling her dream, the one she thought will never come true because she never saw herself as worthy. Isn’t he amazing?
“Are you alright?”, Dayson’s deep voice sounded close to Talia’s ear. He didn’t know her thoughts, but he definitely felt her fluctuating emotions and he wondered if coming here like this was too soon.
“Never better.”, Talia responded and wr*pped her arms around his neck.
Dayson’s eyebrows shoot up when he realized that Talia’s l*ps shyly brushed against his, and he had no intention of leaving it at that.
Gasps and murmurs shook the nightclub over the loud music as the crowd in the Shifters observed the scene of their Alpha being k**sed while standing on the entry platform, that was something like a stage, for everyone to see. And it’s not that he didn’t push the bold female away, but he actually embraced her and k**sed her back.
Alpha Dayson k**sing a woman in public! That was unheard of!
Yes, they saw the k**sing picture in the WW Magazine, but seeing a picture and witnessing it live were two different things.
It was monumental, like seeing a unicorn or some other animal everyone believed was extinct, and many phones were directed at the couple that was embracing each other to record the sight that will definitely change the world.
Katya was behind the bar as the owner of Shifters nightclub and as part of the crowd who observed the scene of Dayson and Talia k**sing.
She had no doubts about Talia’s identity. How can she not recognize the only woman her brother showed interest in? And she also knew that because Dayson appeared with Talia in public, Dayson acknowledged Talia as a woman who is important. Definitely a girlfriend, and maybe even more.
Katya was aware that her brother is capable, but there was nothing he could do when the other guy is an Alpha.
Katya was not looking forward to the day when Keith will return from the training in the mountains because she knew that her baby brother will be heartbroken.
Talia and Dayson were ignorant about the stir of the world around them. They inched away from each other, a second before their k**ses turned too steamy.
“Let me show you our booth, kitten”, Dayson murmured, and Talia’s smile reached her eyes.
He said OUR booth.
Talia had to admit Dayson made her feel welcome and accepted. He truly was her home, and she couldn’t be happier.
Talia leaned on Dayson who led the way and Talia was confident that she was walking on clouds, happy that Dayson held her tightly because she might float away.
Alpha Maddox and Mindy were behind the celebrity couple (aka Dayson and Talia), and Maya and Jaeden followed the four while observing the crowd and listening to people’s chatter through the mind-link.
Irritated by the sparks of gossip that were turning into a fire, Maya spoke to pack members through the mind-link, ‘For the ones who don’t know, her name is Talia.
Talia was the MVP of the tournament at the Summer Solstice festival, and she is Lia who accompanied our Alpha to the recent Luna announcement ceremony at the Lightclaw pack. When Alpha is ready, he will provide additional information about Talia’s identity and her role in the pack. Until then, I hope you can refrain from creating baseless rumors because last people who pried into Alpha’s private matters ended up in the dungeon.’
Jaeden added, ‘Your devices will be checked for recordings and photos of Alpha Dayson and Talia. If you delete them now, you will reduce the time needed to leave the Shifters nightclub and we hope you will be sensible enough not to share them on social media.’
Next, Jaeden called for patrols to watch exits of the Shifters nightclub in addition to the staff that was already stationed there while Maya instructed for the Wi-Fi to be turned off and any wireless communications to be jammed.
With that, the Beta duo handled any unwanted information leak.
That didn’t mean people won’t talk about what they saw. After all, the scene of their Alpha being with a woman openly meant that he gave her a status that no other woman had before. It was a big deal.
However, Maya’s and Jaeden’s words were a warning that people shouldn’t act recklessly or they might provoke their Alpha.
