Filed To Story: Veiled Desires of the Alpha King Novel
Marcy looked through the open window of her room into the garden. She could pick up some voices and laughter and she wished to have someone who would be her eyes and ears.
Marcy regretted leaving Anna (aka one of Talia’s bullies) behind in the packhouse of the Red Moon pack. Anna was useful, but Marcy couldn’t take her with her.
Alpha Edward was unyielding when he said that only four of them will come. “When you become Alpha Dayson’s Luna, you can do as you wish. Until then, be humble and do what’s needed to please the man”
Marcy promised Anna that she will send for her as soon as she gains some foothold in this place, and Anna said that she will follow Marcy gladly, but Marcy was not so sure about it.
Since Marcy vouched for Anna, the Omega got promoted and was doing better than before. Will she be willing to leave that comfort? Anna also promised Marcy to keep her informed about anything important in the packhouse, but Marcy was doubtful if Anna will do so.
Anna was doing favors for Marcy in order to get benefits, and now that Marcy was not there, Anna probably found another thigh to hug. Heck, with Nora gone, Anna might be the one serving Alpha Edward.
Marcy grimaced as bile rose up to her throat. She was still unable to adjust to the idea of her father and Nora…
‘KNOCK-KNOCK-KNOCK’
Marcy moved to open the door. “Nora?”
“Can I come in?”, Nora asked impatiently when she saw that Marcy was blocking the door.
No. “Sure.”
“Are you OK with this?”, Nora asked as soon as the door closed behind her.
“OK, with what?”
“This! Alpha Dayson making us stay on the first floor.”, Nora explained.
Marcy had a feeling that Nora was provoking her in order for Marcy to make a scene. Did she really think that Marcy was stupid and easy to manipulate?
“It’s not a big deal.”
Nora’s eyes flashed in anger. “Not a big deal!?”
Marcy shrugged. “A few days here won’t make me lose hair. Once things between me and Alpha Dayson are settled, I will move to the third floor, and you will get to pick your room on the second one. How about that? Until then, try not to cause trouble. If my father hears that you are the reason why my marriage with Dayson fell through, he won’t be happy.”
Nora didn’t like Marcy’s condescending tone.
“What happened to you?”
Marcy didn’t get it. “What do you mean?”
“Just last night we were fine and now…”, Nora didn’t finish. It was her way of trying to figure out if George told Marcy about Nora drugging her.
Nora thought about it and she concluded that if George spilled the beans, Marcy would be livid, but if he didn’t, Marcy would be friendly with Nora. Since none of those was the case, Nora needed to investigate.
“Were we fine last night?”, Marcy repeated Nora’s words robotically in the form of a question and she thought how Nora’s choice of words seemed off.
Were the two of them ever fine? No, not after Marcy found out that Nora slept with Alpha Dayson and definitely not after Marcy found out that Nora slept with her father, but Marcy couldn’t voice those thoughts. Not yet, at least.
“I guess we were fine but when I woke up, you were gone, and Commander George was in our room. Tell me, Nora, what happened? Why was he there?” In my bed. On top of me. Inside me. “Where did you go?”
A wild thought flashed in Marcy’s mind, did Nora go to seduce her brother last night? Is that why George ended up in Marcy’s bed?
From a middle-aged guy like Alpha Edward to a teenager like James. Yuck!
Nora realized that Marcy doesn’t know about the whole drugging business. Good! As long as Marcy didn’t know about that, it will all be fine.
Nora didn’t understand one thing, why didn’t George tell Marcy? It was obvious that he was not friendly toward Nora. Did he keep that information to blackmail her later? Or maybe he didn’t want drama.
Ah! What if he tells Alpha Edward! That will be bad.
Nora came to the Shadow Fang pack with the pretense of keeping an eye on Marcy to ensure that Alpha Dayson accepts her, and if Alpha Edward finds out that Nora drugged Marcy… Nora decided to think about it later.
Unless Alpha Edward brings up the drugging incident, Nora will pretend it didn’t happen. Actually, even if George rats on her and Alpha Edward demands an explanation, there is no evidence. She will tell Alpha Edward that George was hitting on her, and when she rejected him, he came up with that malicious lie. Yes, that will work. With this thought, Nora relaxed.
Nora puffed her cheeks dramatically. “Didn’t Commander George tell you? He showed up out of nowhere and told me to scram. I waited outside for some time, but when it got late, I went to sleep in the car. I didn’t dare get back into the room while he was there.” This was the truth with the middle part omitted.
Nora had a feeling that if she can’t have a proper conversation with George, Marcy can’t have it either. Besides, Marcy barely spoke a few words with the man since they left the Red Moon pack, so Marcy going to George to ask for an explanation would be highly unlikely.
Marcy didn’t respond, confirming Nora’s suspicion that Marcy was ignorant about what Nora did.
Nora decided to make her exit. “I need to change and shower.” She didn’t freshen up in the morning because she was stuck in the car until breakfast time. “I will hold you to your word that you will let me pick my room on the second floor. I want a good view.”
With that, Nora headed for the door.
“Ah!”, Nora exclaimed the moment she stepped into the hallway.
Marcy craned her neck to see that Nora bumped into George. Why was he standing there?
George’s eyes darted from Nora to Marcy. “Is everything alright?”
“Of course, it is.”, Nora said stiffly. “We were just talking.” She side-stepped him and disappeared into her room. After the previous night, Nora didn’t want to deal with George. The man was unstable and violent.
