“Thank you, but I am not interested.”, Talia said, and Dayson approved. But why didn’t that guy move away?
Cory didn’t give up. “How can I leave you alone?”
“My friends will be back any minute.”
“But”
“The lady said she is not interested.”, Dayson growled, interrupting whatever Cory was about to say next.
Cory looked at Dayson who stood next to Talia.
Dayson’s left arm immediately made way around Talia’s shoulders, pulling her to lean on him.
“The girl was free, and I came for a chat. Why are you meddling?”
Dayson balled his right hand into a fist, ready to punch the daylights out of the bastard in front of him. “Who said that she is free?”
Cory didn’t think much about Dayson, and the buzz of alcohol made him oblivious to wary gazes directed his way.
“I came here first.”, Cory said and glanced at Talia. “If I knew that just hugging will work, I would skip the chit-chat.”
Dayson clenched his teeth while taking a split-second decision if he should go for a punch. Punch, it is.
A small warm palm covered his fist.
“Actually, Dayson came first. In everything.”, Talia said while looking at Dayson lovingly and Dayson’s fighting spirit dissolved in an instant.
Unfortunately, Cory didn’t understand that Talia just saved his skin.
Dayson’s ears perked up when Cory spoke again.
“You are a beautiful girl. He doesn’t deserve you if he can leave you like”
‘POW!’
Dayson’s fist landed in the middle of Cory’s face, breaking his nose and a few front teeth.
In slow motion, Cory fell off the barstool, and then he didn’t move.
Dayson sneered. Pesky human.
Talia was amazed that Dayson was holding onto her while delivering that vicious punch, yet she was not shaken at all. Dayson was solid as a rock. Her rock.
She took Dayson’s hand in his and observed it carefully. It was bloody.
“Did you get hurt?”
Dayson smiled. He thought that she might be upset because he was violent, yet she was worried about him. Can she be any sweeter?
Talia was sorry that Cory got hit. He was persistent but didn’t cross the line with her. However, when Dayson showed up, Cory didn’t back down, and that was the problem.
“You can use this”, Katya’s voice got Talia’s attention and the latter accepted the wet cloth.
Talia carefully wiped off the blood from Dayson’s hand and she exhaled in relief when she realized that blood was not Dayson’s.
The previously unmoving silent crowd slowly resumed their chatter and dancing, but many eyes were still directed toward Dayson and Talia. This punch dispelled any doubts about Talia being a special existence in Dayson’s life. Doesn’t that mean that she is special for the Shadow Fang pack as well?
A new wave of rumors and guesses started circulating. It seemed that their Alpha found a girlfriend. Dayson was in his late twenties and considering his past, he wouldn’t give such treatment to a woman unless he was ready to settle.
Will he mark her? Did he mark her already? Was she their Luna?
But Maya and Jaeden were clear when they said that Alpha Dayson won’t tolerate gossip and that he will announce more information when ready, so they could only whisper among each other excitedly.
Of course, not everyone was excited that a no-name she-wolf was getting this special treatment.
Many jealous gazes of women (and some men) were directed at Talia and if a look could kill, Talia would be sliced into a million pieces.
Yes, she went with Alpha Dayson to an event and even showed up in the WW Magazine, but… so what? It could be a publicity stunt or a one-time thing, and it was not important.
However, even if they could ignore that Talia was the one from the WW Magazine, no one could deny what they saw with their own eyes.
Talia arrived with Alpha Dayson, they kissed, and she went with Alpha Dayson to the VVIP booth!
Some of the people hoped that Alpha Dayson chased her away because she went to the bar without him, and maybe Beta Maya and Mindy were comforting her, but then Alpha Dayson came and hit the man who was next to Talia, which was definite proof he was possessive of her.
“What did we miss?”, Maya asked from the side while her eyes followed nonresponsive Cory who was being dragged away by the staff of the nightclub.
Mindy was right behind Maya.
“Why did you leave Talia on her own?”, Dayson snapped at Maya and the latter understood that the unconscious poor fellow probably approached Talia.
“She is a big girl who didn’t want to use the restroom.”, Maya responded. Did Dayson want them to drag Talia with them?
Dayson didn’t want to bicker with Maya about this. He turned to Talia. “Don’t stay on your own at the bar.”
Talia smiled foolishly. The alcohol was sneaking up on her. “It was not a big deal. Don’t I have you watching over me?”
Dayson was out of arguments. He was watching over her, and he loved that she relied on him.
“Are we still girl-drinking or did your couple-time start?”, Mindy asked.
Maddox and Jaeden reached the bar on time to hear Mindy’s question.
“How about all of us have one drink here and then we go to mingle?”, Maddox suggested, and everyone agreed.
When Maddox and Jaeden saw that Dayson had no intention of returning to the VVIP booth, they decided to join them at the bar.
“That guy fell easily.”, Maddox’s comment was about Cory who lost consciousness after one hit. Dayson is known as one of the best fighters, but it was obvious that he didn’t put much strength behind that punch.
“Human.”, Dayson’s one-word response clarified the mystery.
Mindy and Maya sat on barstools, flaking Talia on the left and right respectively, and Jaeden moved to stand next to Maya.
Maddox was still thinking about Dayson punching Cory, and he was on alert while glancing over the crowd.
