Chapter 250 – Veiled Desires of the Alpha King Novel

Of course, he didn’t move.

Dayson wouldn’t miss a chance to tease her, but he wouldn’t go this far.

In front of Talia, Dayson would always put on a brave front and make sure that whoever harbors ill intentions toward Talia, gets what he (or she) deserved.

In the forest, when facing the rogues, Dayson didn’t look at Talia, but she was confident that his priority was her safety. That’s why he got so many injuries.

No matter how moody Dayson was, Talia knew that he was reliable. He would make sure that she was fine and that she doesn’t suffer injustice, and no matter what the situation was, he would support her. Even if he was stabbed with a wolfbane-laced blade, and people shot poisonous bullets at him, Dayson would never abandon her. And that’s why he ended up in this state.

With every passing second, Talia’s vision was blurrier with tears, and she leaned her forehead on Dayson’s shoulder and started sobbing quietly.

“You asked me not to leave you”, she whispered in a shaky voice. “You said that we will be together forever. I am scared, Dayson I don’t know what to do without you. I need you to wake up. Wake up”

Her tears fell on his skin and silently glided down his arm, like transparent pearls that had a faint silver shimmer.

“Wake up I need you to be fine Wake up…”, Talia chanted.

Talia felt the heat in her chest expanding and spreading through her body while morphing into an inexplicable cooling sensation that coursed through her veins.

If she looked up with her honeyed eyes that flickered in silver hues, Talia would see that the whole bed was enveloped in an ethereal hoary glow that pulsated in the rhythm of her heartbeat.

And then she passed out.

…

Doctor Travis dashed into the room with panic on his face, only to find Talia and Dayson in bed, both with their eyes closed, like nothing unusually happened.

Travis scratched his head. Did the machines malfunction? He was startled by the alarm which indicated that the readings on machines tracking Dayson’s vitals were going crazy, but now everything seemed normal.

Dayson might be unconscious, but how could Talia sleep with all the beeping ruckus the machines made? Or did the system malfunction only on his side?

Travis approached the machines, to check the history logs, and he saw that only a minute ago, machines recorded unusual values. What the heck?

Travis glanced at the bed, and he paused in surprise when he saw that Dayson’s eyes are open and directed at him.

“Alpha?”, Travis called softly, careful not to startle him. He was not sure if Dayson was aware of his surroundings.

With one glance, Dayson knew he was in the pack hospital. Considering his history with fighting, Dayson was familiar with this place.

It took him a second to remember the incident from the forest.

At that time, Dayson heard that the patrol was less than a minute away. Considering that there were four armed rogues and they held Talia, it was wise to wait for reinforcements, but when Dayson saw the rogue pressing a knife against Talia’s face, he lost it.

From the moment Dayson regained consciousness, he was aware that Talia was by his side, even before opening his eyes because he could feel the delicious sparks of the bond.

Other than Talia, Dayson was prioritizing one more existence.

‘How are you doing?’, Dayson asked his wolf.

The moment the blade pierced Dayson’s skin, he knew there was wolfsbane.

When a werewolf gets wolfsbane into his system, it’s important to flush it out quickly, otherwise, his wolf will suffer. It’s not uncommon that the wolf side is crippled or disappears completely with prolonged exposure to wolfsbane.

Most of the wolf-less werewolves ended up in that state due to wolfsbane poisoning.

Dayson could feel the presence of his wolf, but he was worried about his condition.

‘I’m tired, but good. Thanks to mate.’, Dayson’s wolf responded.

‘Thanks to Talia?’

‘She healed us. Both of us.’

After the initial surprise, Dayson felt pride swelling in his chest.

He wanted to know how did Talia heal them, but he could sense the fatigue of his wolf, and as long as everyone was fine, Dayson was in no rush to probe for details.

‘Rest, old guy. We will talk later.’

Dayson could feel his wolf fading at the back of his mind.

Dayson blinked once, twice, and then his eyes moved from Travis’s inquisitive gaze to Talia who was lying on his right with her arm draped over his chest.

“How is she doing?”, Dayson asked.

“You should worry about yourself.”

“I am fine.”, Dayson responded curtly. “How is Talia?”

Travis shook his head in disapproval, but he knew that it’s not wise to oppose Dayson.

Travis was about to talk about Talia’s injuries, but he paused when he realized that the bruise on her cheek was gone completely.

Travis leaned closer to observe her face, without disturbing her sleep. “Talia was hit, but it seems that it was not as bad as I thought.”

Dayson hummed in confirmation. “Her healing improved.”

Travis’s eyes flashed in understanding. Talia’s wolf was waking up, or at least making progress.

“Continue.”, Dayson ordered.

Travis straightened his back and responded with his official tone, “Talia’s head and abdomen were injured, and the muscles of her legs suffered an extreme strain. As for her current condition, I will know once we do tests.”

Travis looked at Dayson with a complicated expression. “You got two stab wounds and I pulled three bullets out of your body. Blades and bullets were laced with wolfsbane. I patched you up and flushed the poison from your system, but to be honest I’m surprised you are awake.”

“I feel fine.”, Dayson assured him.

Travis let out a long breath. “OK. Since you are awake, let me check your wounds.”

“Careful not to wake Talia.”, Dayson grumbled in a low voice when Travis reached to remove bandages.

Travis made a face. Mates. Every werewolf will dote on his mate, but Alphas are taking that to the extreme because the strength of the wolf is amplifying instincts to provide for their mate.

Now that Travis knew Dayson and Talia are mates, he wondered, how come he didn’t see it before? With Dayson putting so much importance on Talia’s wellbeing, and even accompanying her to her appointments really. He should have known.

But how was it possible that Talia was not marked?

Yes, Jaeden explained that Dayson wanted to gain Talia’s trust, but with Dayson’s instincts in overdrive, Travis didn’t understand how could Dayson resist that urge to claim her completely for everyone to see.
