Chapter 420 – Hidden Desires of the Werewolf King Novel

Filed To Story: Veiled Desires of the Alpha King Novel

Dayson frowned. “What?”

“Didn’t you notice how she was looking at you?”

Dayson’s frown deepened. “I don’t care where and how she is looking. Do your best to keep her busy. If Talia loses her temper…” He shook his head.

Maya remembered how Talia forced Jill to kneel in the restroom of the Shifters nightclub and Maya couldn’t decide if that would be a good or a bad way to deal with Nora.

While Maya was thinking about Talia making others bow (and kneel) in submission, Dayson was talking to Jaeden, “Let’s reinforce security there so that no accidents happen…”

Dayson didn’t have a problem faking training reports and allowing James to have some fun, but the idea that James had something on Dayson was unsettling. And James had more than just a few things.

Rumors were already spreading how Talia came from the Red Moon pack, and if Alpha Edward suspects that Talia is Dayson’s mate, he won’t spare efforts to get his hands on her.

Tomorrow’s party couldn’t come fast enough.

The best course of action would be to cut ties with Marcy officially and then to introduce Talia as his mate, but now that Marcy was unconscious and rumors about Talia were spreading, Dayson needed to do things out of order, and hope for the best.

Talia entered the kitchen to see Dawn and Zina wiping the countertops.

“Did you wait long?”, Talia asked.

“No.”, Dawn responded. “We are almost done cleaning up.”

Both Dawn and Zina looked at Talia expectantly and Talia knew that they wanted to find out about the big secret.

“Give me a minute to compose myself.”, Talia said.

Talia was dazed by the overload of events. Her greatest fear was that Marcy will recognize her and cause trouble, or throw herself at Dayson, but the reality was that so many other things happened, and Marcy placed Talia as Dayson’s mistress, and the most Marcy got to touch Dayson was a handshake. Once. The whole day was crazy, and it was still not over.

Talia was eager to finish her evening visit to Marcy and George, and then to sink into Dayson’s comforting embrace.

“Are you OK?”

Zina’s question reminded Talia that her expression was not good.

“Yeah. Help me prepare food for one. We should have plenty of leftovers from dinner, right?”

Talia frowned at the sight of Dawn and Zina elbowing each other. “What?”

“Food for one?”, Dawn asked with a sly smile on her face. “Small bites?”

Talia shrugged. She didn’t really think about the size of bites, but George was sick so… “Sure. If it’s not very messy, that will be great.”

“I knew it!”, Dawn exclaimed. “Nyotaimori. That’s so hot! Where are we doing it? Here? Or should we go to your bedroom? Or do you have another place on your mind?”

Talia was confused. Did Dawn just speak a foreign language? “What?”

Zina explained, “Dawn and I had a bet related to why you asked us to stay here for a secret mission. Dawn said that it will be food-related. It’s obvious that she won.”

Yes, the secretive thing was food-related, and it included taking food to George.

There was no need to take food for Marcy. Talia confirmed through the security video feed that Marcy was still unconscious.

But seeing Dawn’s and Zina’s elated expressions, Talia had questions. “What is a Nyo-ta-i-mo-ri?”

Dawn grinned. “It’s when you lie down naked, and there is food all over you, and Alpha Dayson gets to eat the food, and then he eats you. Traditionally, it’s done with sushi, but considering that you are looking at leftovers from dinner, we can improvise…” Dawn paused when she saw Talia’s bewildered expression. “Wait. It doesn’t seem you are doing that.”

“Hehe…”, Zina giggled, happy that she didn’t lose the bet. “What are we doing?”

“I am amazed at all the ideas you have.”, Talia said while shaking her head. “I am intrigued about the human body being used as a serving plate, and I hope to hear more when we have time to chat. But now it’s getting late, so we should focus on why we are here. This food is not going to be arranged on me, and it’s not for Dayson. It’s for George…” Talia explained the current situation, and as she talked, the playful atmosphere turned solemn.

Dawn couldn’t believe what she heard. “Marcy rejected her fated mate. That’s a lot of bad karma right there. The Moon Goddess will punish her harshly. We should stay away from her, so it doesn’t rub off on us.”

“Why did she reject him?”, Zina asked.

Talia shrugged. “Your guess is as good as mine.”

“Aww…”, Dawn whined. “I would give anything to have a mate like that.”

“Like what?”, Zina asked.

“Like Commander George.”, Dawn said. “He is just the right combination of handsomeness and muscles. I bet that he can give his mate nights filled with carnal pleasures and endless orgasms. Marcy was blind or stupid to say no to that.”

“The man is bedridden, and you are thinking about orgasms.”, Zina teased Dawn.

“My orgasms have nothing to do with his condition.”, Dawn responded matter-of-factly.

While thinking about how George was rejected by Marcy, Dawn felt her chest tightening. “I feel sorry for him, and I hope he gets his second chance mate.”

Talia’s ears perked up. What was that? “What’s a second chance mate?”

Zina responded, “Sometimes, fated mates are not destined for a future where both of them grow old together. This is my first time to hear that mates rejected each other, but there are cases where one dies premature death, leaving the other mate behind. They say that the Moon Goddess rewards the worthy ones with a second chance mate, the one that will fill in the gap and make their lives worth living. The legend says that if a mated she-wolf is marked and her mate perishes, if her second chance mate exists, the mark on her neck will fade to make space for the new one.”

Talia thought how that was fantastic. She didn’t see the mark on Marcy (or George), but she hoped that George will get his second chance mate, someone better than Marcy.

Talia decided to go back to the topic. In order for George to get a second chance mate, he will need to recuperate from his current predicament.

“George is not in a good shape, you can think of him as a patient in a coma. Marcy is still unconscious. If this leaks out, Dayson might get in trouble, and this can escalate quickly. Considering Dayson’s strained relationship with Alpha Edward, and the expectations for Marcy to be Dayson’s Luna, this situation can easily be misinterpreted. That’s why Doctor Travis is working on getting them better. I want to ask you to go there twice a day to take food and ventilate or clean the place when needed. I will go at least once, so we should decide on shifts…”

Talia ended by asking Dawn and Zina to keep it a secret. “Other than the three of us, Dayson, Maya, Jaeden, and Travis know about this. Even the warriors guarding the place don’t know who is inside. Be mindful that it shouldn’t spread further.”

“Of course!”, they responded in unison.

Dawn and Zina knew this was important, and Talia told them about it which meant that she trusted them. It was a big deal. After all, Talia was more than just a friend, she was their future Luna, and she shared with them something that might jeopardize the safety of their pack! Suddenly, Dawn and Zina felt the seriousness of the situation pressing on them.

Talia’s heart warmed to see her friends were on board. She knew that they would do wonderfully. The whole concept of being a Luna was foreign to Talia, but with her friends helping her out, Talia thought how being the Luna of the Dark Howler’s pack won’t be so intimidating.

Since Dawn and Zina were aware of the current situation, it was time for planning the practical part.

“I want one of you to deliver breakfast and the other one dinner. You can decide which one of you will be responsible for which. I will handle lunch. In case you want to switch, let me know in advance. Is that fine?”

Dayson asked Talia not to go herself, but she wanted to check on Marcy and George. Going once a day won’t take much time, and it will give her a chance to get fresh herbs when needed.

Dawn and Zina played rock-paper-scissors and decided that Zina will deliver dinner, and Dawn breakfast.
