Filed To Story: Veiled Desires of the Alpha King Novel
“I see…” Nora couldn’t hide her disappointment. She came after hearing that Dayson is gone, in order to retrieve her panties, but with Marcy here, she can’t do it. Nora eyed Marcy who was still in her robe and nightgown. “I guess you will dress up for breakfast. I will see you there.”
Marcy looked after Nora’s retreating back and fumed. ‘You will pay for this, bitch!’
Marcy gritted her teeth while coming up with various scenarios to make Nora suffer.
Since she came home from Paris, nothing went right.
Marcy found her mate, but he ended up being an Omega. Her father scolded her more times than she wishes to remember. Before she could recover from meeting (and rejecting) George, Dayson showed up as her groom and played some game of hot and cold with Marcy while shagging Nora.
Marcy didn’t get anything other than insults and embarrassments, and she was confident that even Omegas are laughing at her because that filthy girl saw her sucking off Dayson.
‘Yes… that girl in the attic…’, Marcy’s eyes shone maliciously as she made her way upstairs.
…
…
It took Jaeden, Maya, and Dayson about half an hour drive to get out of the Red Moon pack territory.
“Stop the car.”, Dayson said and Jaeden pulled over reluctantly while silently praying to the Moon Goddess that Dayson didn’t change his mind and wants to go back to the Red Moon pack.
Dayson grabbed the suitcases that were next to him and went to the back of the car with urgency.
Jaeden and Maya turned to see what Dayson was doing, and they both gaped at the sight of a girl emerging before Dayson put suitcases in the trunk.
Dayson held her hand, and even opened the door for her!
‘Since when is Dayson such a gentleman?’, Jaeden asked Maya through mind-link, and the latter shrugged in response.
Of course, Dayson is NOT a gentleman. Never was, never will be… at least that’s what Maya and Jaeden thought. Until now.
Talia and Dayson sat in the back seat and Dayson told Jaeden to resume driving.
Jaeden didn’t react.
Both Maya and Jaeden observed Talia curiously.
“Aren’t you going to introduce us?”, Jaeden asked Dayson who frowned at him.
After a second of hesitation, Dayson glanced at Talia and gestured toward the front of the car. “That’s Jaeden, my Beta, and Maya, his mate.” He turned to Jaeden. “There you go. I introduced you. Now, can you drive?”
Jaeden and Maya were both visibly confused. What about the girl’s name?
The truth is that Dayson didn’t know Talia’s name, however, he didn’t think that was important and he didn’t want to waste time on pleasantries. The important thing was that the girl was next to him, heading to the Shadow Fang pack. There will be plenty of time for them to talk. Also, they were still close to the territory of the Red Moon pack, and Dayson felt pressure to keep moving.
Jaeden saw that Dayson’s mood was not good, so he resumed driving.
Now that he saw Talia, Jaeden understood why all the rush to leave. Alpha Edward, Marcy, and others were jolted awake and too confused by the sudden development to notice the scent of the girl that was in the trunk. Heck, even Jaeden didn’t realize that there was another person in the car and he wondered if something was off with his nose.
When they were back on the road, Jaeden spoke to Dayson and Maya through the mind-link. ‘Is there a reason why we kidnapped a girl from the Red Moon pack?’
‘It’s not kidnapping.’, Dayson responded.
‘She came out of the trunk.’, Maya stated the fact. ‘We are officially kidnappers.’
Dayson couldn’t refute this. Talia came out of the trunk, but she was there only in order to avoid drama if Alpha Edward, Marcy, or someone else, sees her.
‘Why did you beat her?’, Jaeden asked.
Dayson was outraged. Since when is he a woman-beater? Dayson would never raise a hand on a woman, unless she is coming to kill him.
‘I didn’t.’, Dayson responded grumpily.
Before they could ask more questions, Dayson quickly said, ‘The girl is here out of her own will. She was badly treated, I offered her a way out, and she took it. Now, can you focus on the road? She doesn’t have the mind link, but that doesn’t mean someone won’t come after us if they notice her missing.’
Dayson didn’t want to explain more than that, and he was not ready to say that the copper-haired girl is his mate. He was still adjusting to that fact himself.
He glanced at Talia who was looking out the window with her eyes half-closed. It was obvious that she was about to fall asleep at any moment.
Dayson touched Talia’s shoulder, to get her attention, and then patted his, “Lean on me if you want to sleep.”
Talia shook her head while mumbling how it’s not necessary.
She was overwhelmed with all this and sitting so close to a scary Alpha made her uneasy. She wanted to go back in the trunk.
Earlier that morning, in the attic, Talia was tired and achy and her mind was muddled, and she accepted this crazy idea of leaving the Red Moon pack. But now that she is actually in the middle of this escape adventure, she was not sure if leaving was a good idea.
Talia was mentally and physically exhausted. She was used to doing her chores at night and sleeping during the day, and the last two days she was getting beaten, which means that she didn’t sleep.
“Aww…”, Talia cried softly when her forehead bumped into the window. It seems that she fell asleep without realizing it.
Dayson put his arm around Talia’s shoulders and pulled her to lean her back on him.
She struggled to sit straight, but his grip increased, pressing her against him.
“Don’t be stubborn and sleep.”
Talia exhaled helplessly. Dayson was more comfortable than the hard glass window, but she was not used to leaning on people no matter how warm they are, or how good they smell.
And this was the second time in a day for the scary Alpha to pin her to lean on him.
His sturdy arm was high on her chest, as he held her shoulder tightly without hurting her.
Talia glanced at Dayson and wondered if this was his way of being kind. Does he act like this with everyone? Probably. She didn’t see a single reason why someone so powerful and handsome would single her out.
“Thanks…”, Talia said softly and relaxed against him.
With slight vibrations of the car, Dayson’s warmth, and his scent of the forest and dark chocolate, Talia fell asleep in less than five seconds.
Maya and Jaeden were throwing glances at Dayson and Talia through the rearview mirror and observing how Dayson cradled Talia in his arms gently, like she was made out of glass.
‘Since when is our Alpha so kind to victims of abuse?’, Maya asked Jaeden through their mind-link.
‘You wanted to ask: since when is our Alpha so kind. Period.’, Jaeden corrected her and asked, ‘Did you know about this?’
‘Nope.’, Maya responded. ‘Dayson was always fast in picking up women but bringing one home is a first for him.’
