Maddox nodded, understanding that this is the part where they officially introduce themselves. He was ready for this.
“Maddox River, Alpha of the Blue River pack. Your mate.” This last part was awkward to say, but it sounded so right that Maddox ended up smiling goofily.
Tatiana frowned a bit when he said that he is an Alpha.
Will he expect her to stay in his pack?
She has a business to run and shows to attend! However, seeing how docile Maddox was, resembling a cuddly bear, Tatiana was confident they will find a compromise.
Tatiana’s chewing slowed down as she studied Maddox’s handsome face, and then a thought hit her.
“You are Mindy’s brother.”
Maddox cocked an eyebrow. “I am older, so she is my sister.”
Tatiana didn’t care about that nonsense.
She was trying to match this handsome man with the image Mindy portrayed. Almost female, womanizer, stubborn, overbearing.
How can he be compared to a female? In Tatiana’s opinion, Maddox was the manliest man she ever saw, and she saw many.
A womanizer? Tatiana remembered that he was just standing there and staring at her stupidly and she ended up kissing him first. How can that be called a womanizer?
Stubborn? Overbearing? Those also didn’t match this man who was smiling silly and feeding her, taking the role of a servant, and not someone who wants to dominate.
After a moment of thought, Tatiana pushed Mindy’s words aside.
Surely, as his sister, Mindy had the right to exaggerate and joke about those things.
“Tell me about yourself.”, Maddox said.
Tatiana smirked. “Do you normally take half an hour between kissing a woman and asking for her name?”
Maddox froze. What did she say? Did he make the mistake of treating her like other women? It was not on purpose!
“I was stunned by your beauty. Besides, I could swear it was less than a minute.”, Maddox said.
Tatiana stifled a laugh. She had no idea how much time it passed, but Maddox’s expression was comical.
“Tatiana Wilkov. I am the oldest one among the five sisters of the Wilkov family. Born in Poland, currently living in Italy. I came to visit Kalina, my youngest sister because she found her mate.”
“Tatiana…”, Maddox murmured. He never heard a prettier name in his name.
“Friends call me Tanya.”
“Tanya…”, Maddox repeated. This sounded better than Tatiana. Everything about this Goddess was amazing. Even her name.
Maddox didn’t want to waste any time exchanging information. He wanted to pounce on Tatiana and mark her and put his babies inside her. It was crazy and unreasonable, but his instincts told him that he needs to impregnate her as soon as possible like there was some time limit.
But he couldn’t act on those instincts because he didn’t want Tatiana to see him as a horny savage.
He needed to strike a conversation. Something interesting and stimulating. As an Alpha, he had many of those in the past… conversations. He can have one now.
But… what should he say? He really wanted to leave a good impression.
“So, what do you do when you are not visiting your sister and stealing my heart?”
Maddox facepalmed internally. Did those cheesy lines come out of his mouth?
Ah! If he knew that he will meet his Goddess, he would look up some women-wooing tips online!
Tatiana cocked an eyebrow. “I am not stealing anything. I am just taking what’s mine.”
Maddox stared at Tatiana as the pressure in his groin increased rapidly, and then he shifted to adjust his hard-on. How can a woman arouse him so easily?
Normally, he would be outraged to hear a woman claiming him as hers. He is an Alpha and if there is any claiming happening, he will be the one doing it!
But when those words came out of Tatiana’s mouth, the only thing he wanted was to kiss her.
Heaven and earth could flip and if Tatiana said that it was fine, Maddox will agree. It was fine.
He chuckled. “Seriously… what do you do normally?”
“I’m into fashion…”
…
…
Mindy, Maya, and Meg discussed things needed for the beach. As an extra touch for celebrating Maddox and Tatiana as mates, the girls decided to add bite-sized snacks, a cake, alcohol, and meat because they will be having a barbecue party in the evening.
Since it was a warm summer day, Maya suggested that they have things prepared by Omegas and brought to them later.
Talia was sitting and observing, and under the table, there was a war. Dayson couldn’t stop fondling her and he did that with a serious expression like he was interested in the cake flavors.
Talia couldn’t believe how mischievous Dayson was. The more time they spent together, the more she realized that he is a child who doesn’t know when to stop, but this was a big man who can’t be put on a timeout.
The only thing she could do was to avoid him.
Talia stood up abruptly and grabbed the list from Maya’s hands.
“I will take it to the kitchen and discuss it with Stephanie.”, Talia said.
“Now?”, Dayson asked with a frown.
“They are probably cleaning after breakfast. If I delay, Steph will leave.”
Dayson pouted. Talia had a point, but he didn’t want her to leave. He was really enjoying her proximity. “Let Maya do it.”
“Didn’t you say I am the host? As a host, I will handle this.”
Dayson was out of arguments. “Come back quickly.”
Talia leaned and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. “Shouldn’t you head to the training grounds with the guys? After I discuss this with Stephanie, we will go shopping.”
Dayson’s brows furrowed. Talia was right.
And just like that, Talia avoided Dayson’s fondling under the table.
She didn’t want to separate from him, and she wouldn’t mind him touching her if they were alone. However, privacy was not an option because they had guests, and she wanted some girl-time also. In addition to that, he had things to do, and at least one of them needed to act like a grownup.
Talia was walking down the hallway, with the door of the kitchen getting closer with her every step when…
“Ahh!”
Talia screamed when someone tugged her from behind and she ended up in the side room.
‘BANG!’
The door closed behind Talia and she blinked at the person whose eyes lost focus for a moment.
“Dawn, what are you doing?”, Talia protested.
Dawn smirked. “You will see in a minute.”
