Chapter 312 – Veiled Desires of the Alpha King Novel

Filed To Story: Veiled Desires of the Alpha King Novel

Dayson looked at Talia and then gave her a long toe-curling kiss, right there in the garden, for everyone to see.

When Dayson inched away, Talia was breathless and flustered.

“Think about me while I’m away, kitten.”, Dayson said with all the seriousness in the world, and Talia was not sure how to respond to this because his emotions confirmed his insecurities and yearning.

Instead of saying anything, Talia gave him a big hug.

Yes, Dayson was an Alpha, feared and respected by many, but to Talia, he was Dayson. Just Dayson.

They held each other in silence, enjoying their mixed scents and everything was the way it should be.

Eventually, Talia spoke, “Focus on what you are doing, so that you finish as soon as possible. When work is done, we can have fun. I miss you already.”

After a few quick kisses, Dayson stood up reluctantly and beckoned Tony to follow him to the other table.

Maya joined Tatiana, Kalina, Mindy, and Talia, and five women started discussing plans for the next few days so that they can come up with what they needed to buy during their shopping outing.

Talia’s eyes rested on the other table, and Mindy noticed.

Mindy playfully nudged Talia. “Dayson will not disappear if you don’t look at him.”

“I know.”

“So why are you looking there?”, Mindy challenged her.

“I was not looking at him.”, Talia said.

Before Mindy could ask more questions, Talia stood up to walk there.

…

Since Dayson left and Maya joined, Mindy and Tatiana were leading the discussion related to girl-shopping and Talia noticed Meg glancing their way.

As someone who was ignored and neglected for most of her life, Talia was sensitive to these things.

Talia approached the second table and put her hand on Dayson’s shoulder. This small act made everyone look at Talia.

Talia glanced at everyone before asking Dayson, “Is it OK if Meg joins us for the morning?”

Dayson was amazed to see that Talia took the initiative to invite Meg. His little kitten was taking care of their guests, like a true Luna, and Dayson was delighted to see her grow.

Tony frowned. “We came here to train.”

Talia’s gaze didn’t move from Dayson. “You said that there will be plenty of chances for them to train, and we are going shopping as a group only today.”

How can Dayson say no to that? “If Meg wants to join, I don’t see a problem.”

Tony’s frown deepened. Why was everyone talking like he was not there?

Meg’s eyes sparkled and she swiftly stood up and bowed toward Tony. “I will make sure to make up for whatever I miss.”

Dayson cocked a finger beckoning Talia to come closer. “I fulfilled your wish. How will you repay me for this, hmm?”

Talia’s eyes flashed in shock as she didn’t miss Dayson’s suggestive tone. But more than his tone, his left hand landed at the back of her knee and was inching higher under her skirt!

“In private.”, Talia responded in an urgent whisper.

Dayson’s lips curved into a mischievous grin. “That’s exactly what I had on my mind.”

Talia was flabbergasted. She meant that they should discuss that in private, and not that she will repay him in private, but then… was there any point in arguing with Dayson?

Talia moved her legs so that Dayson’s naughty hand can’t reach her, and she swiftly leaned to peck his lips. “Thanks, you are the best.” With that, Talia turned to walk away with Meg by her side.

Dayson looked at two retreating backs, one belonging to a brunette-something and the other one was his mate’s, his kitten, the most dazzling woman in the world.

He couldn’t wait to be done with work and to return to his fun with Talia. Ah, he was hard already! That made it difficult to focus on a talk about training with five guys at the table.

Meg accepted Talia’s invitation gladly, but when she reached the other table, she hesitated.

Meg grew up in the Lightclaw pack where hierarchy is strictly respected, and at the table in front of her was her future Luna (aka Kalina), a celebrity with an Alpha bloodline (aka Mindy), and a Beta (aka Maya). Talia and Tatiana didn’t have any official standing but both of them had an exquisite aura that told Meg they are not to be trifled with.

Maya pushed the plate with fruits closer to Meg. “We will go to the beach at least once, so you will need a swimsuit. Other than that, we will go to a spa and maybe overnight camping…”

Meg listened as Maya was telling her plan of activities for the next few days and she relaxed seeing that everyone was acting normally.

Kalina scooted closer to Talia. “I see that you and Alpha Dayson are still going strong. Actually, you are chummier than you were at my pack.” She looked at Talia expectantly, obviously waiting for Talia to clarify her relationship status with Dayson.

Talia glanced around the table. Everyone seemed friendly. Meg was totally focused on what Maya was saying, Maya and Mindy already knew, and it was only a matter of time before others hear about it also…

Talia’s heart pounded wildly, and she inhaled forcibly before saying, “We are mates.”

“I knew it!”, Kalina exclaimed excitedly. “No wonder you are so clingy.” Kalina glanced at Talia’s neck. “Don’t worry. It gets better after marking.”

“It does?”, Talia asked, genuinely curious.

Kalina nodded and craned her neck to expose Tony’s mark on her neck. It looked like a dark brown tattoo in the shape of a wolf’s paw that extended into a crescent moon.

“Once his mark is on you, it’s like confirmation that you belong to him. Many guys won’t hit on you once they see you are taken, and also, no one wants to provoke an Alpha.”, Kalina explained and lowered her voice as she continued, “I assume you have your reason for not announcing it. Are you planning a big surprise party?”

Oh, boy. Somehow, Talia knew that she will need to explain this. Again. “It’s nothing like that. Dayson needs to deal with some things first.”

“Like what?”, Kalina continued probing.

Talia hesitated, unsure how to say this. But there was no way to make it sound more pleasant. “Marcy will be here tomorrow this time.”

Kalina blinked once, twice, and then she asked, “Marcy, who? The one who came onto you in front of the restroom at my party?” And after that Marcy was trying to get close to Kalina, but that was not related to Talia.

Kalina was not sure if her ears malfunctioned. Did Talia say that Marcy was coming? Marcy, from the Red Moon pack?

Seeing that Kalina was shocked, Talia explained, “Marcy believes that Dayson will make her his Luna, and even though he never made any promises, and they are not engaged, he didn’t reject her outright either.”

“What?”, Kalina blurted out before Talia could say anything else.

Talia raised her hand, indicating to Kalina to be patient. “Dayson has no intention of making Marcy his Luna, but considering her background, he couldn’t reject her outright without a valid reason and if he announces that I’m his mate, he fears that they might target me in order to make him mateless. Dayson needs to deal with the situation delicately in order not to escalate.”

Kalina didn’t like this. “And what will you do while he handles Marcy delicately? Now is Marcy, and tomorrow will be another she-wolf with a powerful background. What will happen when Marcy comes? Are you going to watch as she throws herself at him?”

“Don’t make him look like a bad guy.”, Talia was quick to jump to Dayson’s defense. She couldn’t say that Marcy coming was her wolf’s idea, but Talia knew the reason behind her wolf’s actions and even though Talia thought that her wolf was harsh, Talia didn’t completely disagree with her wolf either.

“It is a way for him to show his sincerity.”, Talia said eventually.

Kalina glanced at Mindy who observed all this in silence. “You knew about this.”

Mindy had nothing to hide. “Lia told me last night.”
