Chapter 295 – Veiled Desires of the Alpha King Novel

Filed To Story: Veiled Desires of the Alpha King Novel

In the VVIP booth

Dayson and Talia sat in the middle of the curved sofa where at least ten people can sit without touching each other.

Dayson pulled Talia so close to him that she nearly sat in his lap. Talia didn’t mind as she basked in his proximity.

Maya and Jaeden also snuggled closely, while Mindy and Maddox sat at a distance so that there was space for another person to sit on each of their sides.

Talia glanced at the crowd beyond the metallic rail, and she was glad that no one was staring their way.

She forgot that the VVIP booth is the only place in the nightclub where colorful lights don’t hit, so they had privacy in the darkness while being able to clearly see the rest of the nightclub.

“What will you drink, kitten?”, Dayson’s voice sounded close to her ear, creating goosebumps over her skin.

Talia turned her head toward Dayson, and they were so close that their noses nearly touched. She supp**ssed her urge to k**s him.

“I don’t know. Last time I had some tasty c**ktails Keith made, but I am eager to try something new. If you can recommend something, I will take it.” Actually, Talia didn’t know the names of the c**ktails Keith prepared for her so even if she wanted the same ones, she wouldn’t know how to order them.

Dayson was clueless about what females like to drink. It should be those fruity drinks that come with tiny umbrellas and twisty straws. Maybe.

Wait! Did she say, Keith? Dayson gritted his teeth at the mentioning of the wretched coach. He made c**ktails for Talia? Damn him!

Dayson took a mental note to learn about mixology. He will make drinks for Talia, and not allow some measly coach to steal his thunder!

Talia is Dayson’s mate, and he will be the one creating beverages for her!

“How about one drink with the guys, and then we go to the bar?”, Mindy suggested.

Before Talia could think how to respond, Maya spoke, “Sounds like a great idea. The three of us will have some girl time, and guys can chat here. They can pick us up when it’s couples’ time.”

Dayson frowned. “What?” He was ready for couples’ time right now!

“I promised Mindy and Maya to spend some time with them.”, Talia said timidly while hoping that Dayson won’t make a scene. She didn’t want to bicker with him in front of others. “Give us half an hour. You can watch us from here. OK?”

Seeing Talia’s expectant exp**ssion, Dayson exhaled in defeat. “Half an hour.”

“At least.”, Mindy chimed in. “Like that, Max will also get a chance to have a few drinks with you before he goes to mingle.”

Dayson wanted to say that they had plenty of drinks while waiting for the girls to get ready, but Talia’s excitement made him hold that comment for himself.

He didn’t want to spoil the fun for Talia, but this was their date and she already had girls’ time while getting ready. Why was she leaving him on his own again? What kind of a date this is if they will spend time separately?

A scarcely dressed waitress sashayed into the VVIP booth with a menu in her hand, and she asked, “What can I bring you to drink?”

“The usual.”, Dayson said, and he knew that his ‘usual’ is a whole bottle of liquor that will cover not only his order but Jaeden and Maddox also.

Mindy took the menu from the waitress and when Dayson saw that she was looking at the page with c**ktails, he got an idea.

“Can you order something for Talia?”, Dayson asked, hoping that Mindy will solve his what-will-Talia-drink dilemma.

Maya moved to sit next to Mindy with, “Let’s pick the same c**ktails for all three of us”, and the duo started discussing which c**ktails to order first. Maya is a regular in Shifters, so she helped Mindy narrow down choices.

Talia looked at the waitress who stood there and she observed the waitress’ big smile and even bigger cleavage. Were those for Dayson?

As much as Talia tried supp**ssing negativity, images of Ashley and Heather flashed in Talia’s mind and her eyes moved over the crowd.

How many women from there would ogle at Dayson like that?

How many of those women got to experience Dayson’s intimate embrace?

She heard stories of how Dayson would come to the Shifters nightclub alone, with Jaeden, or with some high-ranking guests, and no matter who his company was at the entrance, Dayson would leave with the woman he picked up for the night.

Talia’s insides churned at the thought that Dayson was coming to this nightclub to pick up women.

Why the hell did she come here?

Talia felt the urge to leave. Or even better, burn this place to the ground.

“Kitten?”

Dayson’s voice pulled Talia out of her destructive thoughts.

“What’s going on?”, he asked.

Dayson could feel her rage swelling exponentially by the second.

Talia took a few deep breaths while calming down her raging emotions. She had no idea from where those violent thoughts came. Was it from her wolf?

“I want her to leave.”, Talia said, and Dayson understood that she was talking about the waitress.

“Leave.”, Dayson said sternly, and the waitress stared at him for a second without moving a muscle.

Did she do something?

“If you are here three seconds from now, you will lose your job and probably a piece of skin also.”, Dayson growled. “We will order our drinks through the mind-link. I don’t want to see you here again.”

The waitress swiftly scrambled out of the VVIP booth, still unsure what she did to upset the Alpha.

Dayson pulled Talia to lean on him and k**sed her forehead. “Better?”

Talia didn’t know how to respond to that.

The best thing would be if every woman Dayson touched would leave this nightclub, or even better, leave the planet, but Talia feared that the female population would dwindle to dangerously low levels, so she didn’t ask for such a thing.

A marvelously vicious idea popped into Talia’s mind: she should cripple women who are coveting Dayson as a warning for any future bed climbers.

“Is your wolf stirring?”, Dayson asked.

“What makes you think so?”

“Because I can feel hostility.”

“It’s not toward you.” Or maybe it was. It would be more efficient if she cripples Dayson instead of hundreds of women.

Talia shook those thoughts away. Harming Dayson or women who are coveting him was not an option.

Talia realized that these foreign emotions were not hers.

Jealousy. Impatience. Rage.

Talia feared how the awakening of her wolf will impact her personality and her relationship with Dayson.

Her wolf was still sleeping, but Talia could feel the changes and she didn’t like them. She was never a violent person, and her wolf shouldn’t force her to do things she wouldn’t normally do.

“I will talk to her when she awakens.”, Talia said.

“We will do it together.”, Dayson assured her. “Until then, pay attention to your state and learn to distinguish your emotions from external ones. Now you can feel your wolf’s emotions and mine. It’s easy to spot what’s not yours when it’s different from what you should be feeling, but if it matches, it will amplify your emotions and might cause an unexpected outburst.”

Talia snuggled into Dayson’s embrace and listened to what he was saying. It calmed her down to know that what she was going through was normal, and she was not crazy.
