Filed To Story: Veiled Desires of the Alpha King Novel
“She was alive and kicking when I left.”, Talia said and realized that her choice of words was wrong. “I mean… I didn’t do this.”
“Did you pressure her with your aura?”, Dayson asked. “Weak ones tend to faint if the pressure was too much.”
Talia shook her head in small jerky movements, indicating that she didn’t.
Dayson wanted to tease Talia a bit, but he could feel Talia’s anxiety bubbling.
“Don’t worry. She is alive.”, Dayson said and pulled out his phone.
“Who are you calling?”
“I want to see what happened after you left the room.”
“You don’t believe that it was me who did this. Right?”, Talia asked anxiously.
“You said you didn’t, and I believe you.”, Dayson said matter-of-factly.
Talia smiled and huddled close to Dayson to see the video that was already playing on his phone.
Dayson paused when Talia left the living room and they saw Marcy shouting at George, and George standing and not responding… and then they heard George say, “Marcy Redmayne. I George Shaw, Alpha of the Frostcrest pack, accept your rejection.”
Both Talia and Dayson stared at Dayson’s phone without blinking while wondering if they heard what they thought they heard. There was so much information in those few words.
George was an Alpha? Talia never heard of the Frostcrest pack.
Talia didn’t get one thing, “What does it mean, he accepted her rejection?”
“Mates…”, Dayson said. “George accepted Marcy’s rejection, which means that she rejected him first. His acceptance severed the bond completely. That’s why she is like this.”
Talia subconsciously clutched her chest.
They had a hunch that something was going on between George and Marcy, and their theories went from colluders to lovers, but mates…? That was serious.
Talia didn’t like Marcy, but out of everyone who came from the Red Moon pack, Talia had a good impression of George, and she was worried about him.
“Does that mean George is like this also?”, Talia asked.
“He walked out of the room, so he might not be this bad, but he can’t be fairing good either.” Dayson jabbed his hand into his hair. “Shit! I thought of sending them home, but I can’t send them home like THIS!”
Dayson’s mood dropped when he remembered that some werewolves die from a blow of rejection. The pain is like a soul is being torn into two and not everyone can handle it. Dayson listened to Marcy’s heartbeats and observed that they were slower than they should be. How will he explain himself if Marcy dies here?
This complicated the already serious situation.
Talia looked at Dayson and she could see his eyes losing focus. He was mind-linking someone.
“Travis is on his way.”, Dayson said when his attention was back on Talia.
It didn’t take long for Maya to enter the living room. She saw Dayson and Talia holding each other in silence, and she also saw an unmoving body on the floor.
Maya circled around the sofa, and her eyes widened when she realized that was Marcy.
Maya looked at Dayson apprehensively. “What did you do?”
Dayson frowned. “Why are you assuming that it was me?”
Maya looked at Talia. “Did you forget that we had a plan? Why did you overdo your aura when suppressing her?”
Talia’s frown matched Dayson’s. “It was not me.”
Maya looked back at Marcy. “Are you expecting me to believe that she collapsed on her own?”
“It was George.”, Talia said. “He broke their mate bond.”
Maya blanked out and it took her a few moments to recover. “I think something is wrong with my head because I imagined that you said how George and Marcy are mates.”
“WERE mates.”, Dayson corrected Maya. “The security feed caught George accepting Marcy’s rejection.”
They needed to get Marcy out of there before someone else sees her, but first, Dayson wanted some answers from Talia. “What exactly happened here?”
Dayson didn’t think that George wanted to break their mate bond right there.
If he planned to do it, he would find a spot where no one can find them, because consequences could be dire, which means George did it in the spur of the moment.
Since Talia was in the living room minutes before it happened, she should be able to shed some light on this mystery.
Talia wanted to tell Dayson to watch the security feed, but she thought that it will be shorter just to say it.
“Marcy was full of herself, talking about the party. I thought how that’s where our interaction will end, but then she said how she knows that we are sleeping together and that as long as we are discrete about it, she won’t give me a hard time.”
“She what?”, Dayson asked, unable to conceal his outrage. How dares Marcy look down on Talia?
If Marcy was not unconscious, Dayson would knock the daylights out of her. Actually, even now he had an urge to kick her until she flies out of the Shadow Fang pack territory.
Talia waved her hand, indicating him to calm down, and she moved on to the main part. “I was frustrated, and I showed her the video you recorded of her when you were at the Red Moon pack.”
Dayson’s face fell and he shifted on his feet awkwardly. That video brought him a lot of trouble. Will he need to jump into a waterfall again? But Talia didn’t seem pissed, so he relaxed a bit.
“Didn’t I delete those?”, Dayson asked.
“I saved a copy.”, Talia said guiltily.
“Well, that explains the hostility in the restaurant.”, Maya said from the side. She was still on the point of Marcy and George being mates. “People were guessing that Marcy is their future Luna, and I could feel George’s aggressive aura. When you showed the video, he probably snapped.” Maya glanced around. “Where is George?”
Dayson shrugged. “Probably in his room. Let’s take Marcy to her room before someone sees her.”
Talia slapped Dayson’s hands away. She didn’t want him to touch Marcy, so Talia and Maya held Marcy by the arms, and dragged her down the hallway.
“Did you know that George is an Alpha?”, Talia asked Maya in a whisper.
“Whaaaat?”, Maya drawled dramatically.
“Yes, yes. When he accepted Marcy’s rejection, he said that he is George Shaw, Alpha of the Frostcrest pack.”
“I will definitely watch it!” Maya said enthusiastically, and then her brows came together. “Frostcrest pack?” She looked at Dayson. “Didn’t that pack disappear a long time ago?”
Dayson shook his head. He knew the history very well. It was part of his education as the future Alpha. “It didn’t disappear. Alpha of the Frostcrest pack was defeated by Marcy’s grandfather, and they became part of the Red Moon pack.”
“Wow!”, Maya exclaimed. “So, Marcy and George were mates from opposing sides, like Romeo and Juliet.”
Dayson frowned. “Let’s hope these two have a better ending.”
