Filed To Story: Veiled Desires of the Alpha King Novel
Nudity among werewolves is not uncommon. After all, they end up naked whenever they shift into their wolf form, either because they undress or rip their clothes in the process, and anyone who is nearby, gets a good view of everything.
But Talia seemed uncomfortable around Dayson, and he had a strong feeling that if he removes his (or her) garments, she might freak out.
His wolf was silent, but Dayson could feel the happiness that radiated from the ancient creature.
One excitement amplified the other, and Dayson really-really wanted to touch Talia more.
His hand which rested on her waist gradually sneaked lower while pulling the edge of her sweatshirt higher, bit by bit, just enough for his fingers to slip under her top. And then Dayson’s fingers crawled higher, in search of Talia’s skin and he felt his heart thundering against his chest.
Dayson chided himself. Why the heck was he so nervous? His hand was on Talia’s side, away from her private parts, and he touched many women everywhere. This was definitely not a big deal… but somehow, it was.
His index finger brushed her skin, just above the waistband of her pants and he jolted upon contact. The sparks were like an electric current, catching him by surprise, and he cursed internally when Talia stirred.
Talia was drifting in and out of sleep and she was not sure if she dreamed about his hand moving about in her waist area.
Talia slowly lifted her head, and she froze when she spotted icy blue eyes which observed her intently.
She thought that she might be imagining it, or that he was doing it in his sleep, but this… just what is this?
Talia didn’t think that she compares to any of the pretty girls, and a guy who is handsome and powerful like Dayson will definitely have plenty of beauties around him.
It never crossed her mind that Dayson might be interested in her.
Talia became painfully aware that he was holding her. They were both lying on their sides, facing each other, and his arms were around her… and he was watching her.
She wanted to move away or to say something, anything, but her tongue refused to cooperate, and she felt the heat seeping into her cheeks.
“Did you have a good sleep?”, Dayson’s deep voice shook the silence away.
Talia responded with a small nod.
Dayson hummed in approval. “How do you feel? Are you in pain?”
“It’s fine…”, Talia responded in a small voice and forcibly inhaled, to get some oxygen in her system and snap out of her daze.
Right! She is Talia, no one… She escaped the Red Moon pack, and she has no idea where she was heading, but she knew that at that moment she was in bed with a scary Alpha and she felt the urgency to increase the distance between them.
No matter how handsome he is, or how good he smells, this was not proper.
“Hey… Do you…?”
“I have a name.”, he cut her off sternly.
Talia realized that she called him ‘hey’ again and that he didn’t like it.
She grew up in the Red Moon pack, but due to her special circumstances, Talia was not exposed to the strict hierarchy that werewolves follow, so those things were not ingrained in her, however, she was familiar with the protocols.
“I apologize. Alpha Dayson…”
“Dayson.”, he interrupted her again. It didn’t sound right when she used his title to call him. “Just Dayson.”
Alpha is the title that represents strength while reminding others of respect and submission, and he didn’t feel that was appropriate for her.
“Dayson…”, Talia said awkwardly, and Dayson smiled victoriously.
“Can you let me go, please?”
Dayson’s smile fell when he heard her question.
“Why are you making it sound like I’m holding you against your will?”, he asked with a slightly pitiful expression.
Talia was confused. Did she give him permission to hold her? That could happen only if she did it in her sleep. Ah! Did she throw herself at him?
Dayson saw Talia’s frantic expression and he chuckled.
“You fell off the bed. I’m holding you so that you don’t get another bruise on top of existing ones.”
“Oh…”, a sound escaped Talia’s lips. “Well, thank you. I’m awake now, so… can you let me go?”
Dayson cocked an eyebrow and ignored her question. “Do you want to freshen up? While you shower, I can order some food.”
“Will you let me go if I agree?”, Talia asked helplessly.
“Not necessarily.”, Dayson responded with a straight face.
Talia swallowed hard. “If you don’t let me go, how will I shower?”
“We can shower together.”
Talia’s eyes widened in horror. How can he say that like it’s a totally normal thing?
Dayson saw color draining from her face, and he cleared his throat while trying to salvage the situation.
“I meant, if your injuries are bothering you, I can help you wash up.”
“No need.”, Talia squeaked, and she scrambled off the bed clumsily the moment Dayson released her from his hold.
She dashed into the bathroom, closed the door, and locked it with a loud ‘click’ sound.
Dayson stared at the door with a complex expression on his handsome face.
So many women would do community service to be with him, and this girl can’t wait to escape.
Dayson forced himself to stop staring at the bathroom door and called room service.
He realized that he had no idea what Talia likes to eat so he decided to get everything from the menu. In his opinion, the hotel didn’t offer enough options.
After placing a massive order for food, Dayson made another phone call. This was important.
“Hi Steph…”, Dayson greeted Stephanie when she picked up the call.
“It’s good that you remembered me.”, Stephanie said irritably.
“Did something happen?”
“Cassie is coming. Where are you?”
“We are on the way home.”, Dayson responded. He didn’t care about Cassie.
“When will you reach here?”
“Not sure. Something came up. That’s why I’m calling.”
Stephanie was struck with concern. “Are you kids OK?”
Dayson smiled a little. Stephanie is always treating them like kids. “We are fine, but we are bringing someone with us. I want you to prepare a room for her.”
“Alright.” Stephanie didn’t think much about it. “I’m not sure if we have free rooms in the common building because that’s Maya’s jurisdiction, but I can ensure that one of single Omegas takes her in until we figure out something permanent.”
The possibility of Talia being with some random person (and away from Dayson) was out of the question.
“No! She will stay in the packhouse, in my old bedroom.”
Stephanie paused. The third floor was reserved for the Alpha and his family. Did Dayson finally find a woman he was willing to marry?
“Are you bringing Marcy with you?”
Dayson nearly choked on his saliva. “What? No!”
