Chapter 430 – Hidden Desires of the Werewolf King Novel

Filed To Story: Veiled Desires of the Alpha King Novel

“I got you water. Do you want coffee?”, Maddox asked with concern on his handsome face.

While they were in the room, Tatiana drank only water, so he assumed that was what she wanted. Did he fail to bring to his Goddess her beverage of choice?

Tatiana looked into his endless chocolate eyes and all her doubts dissipated.

He was slightly leaning above her, and she reached to caress his cheek with her hand.

“For the last couple of years, I am used to thinking about my work, my employees, and my customers”, Tatiana said. “And since I’ve met you, I am selfishly thinking only about myself.”

Maddox was not sure from where that came, but he knew how to answer, “I feel the same, Tanya. While we were in your room, I didn’t think about my pack not even once, and I don’t know if that was a good thing or a bad one, but I know that I love having you on my mind.” And on my cock.

Mindy tched in annoyance. “Do you guys hear yourself? Both of you were thinking about others to the point that now you feel guilty because you are happy. The world will continue spinning without you sitting in the driver’s seat. Enjoy what you have.”

Mindy’s words got Talia thinking. Everyone had their sets of worries, and it was just a matter of whether they will allow worries to consume them or focus on the positives.

Talia’s sight drifted to Dayson. He was chatting with Jaeden and Tony, and the mood was good, and then he paused and turned to meet her gaze. Did he feel that she was looking at him? Probably.

Their smiles mirrored each other, and Talia loved that they were sharing the invisible connection which confirmed how what they have was special.

“Well said!”, Maya exclaimed, and Talia jolted while wondering what she missed. It was easy to get lost in Dayson’s icy-blue gaze that did funny things in her stomach.

Talia saw Dayson smiling smugly, and she knew he enjoyed the fact that he can distract her easily.

“You are wise beyond your age.”, Maya told Mindy. “If I didn’t know better, I would assume you have a mate.”

Mindy rolled her eyes dramatically. “It’s because I don’t have one that I can see clearly. I know Max since I was born, and I never saw him this…” Mindy’s voice trailed when she saw that Maddox and Tatiana were making out. “I wanted to say I never saw him that happy, but now I will go with horny.”

Kalina, Talia, and Maya burst into giggles, but all three of them secretly stole glances at their mates that were at the neighboring table, and they wished to be closer to them. Touching distance is the best. Clothes are optional.

The guys felt the same as their mates, but there was a sense of how it’s manly to show control and not succumb to urges. However, everyone had their breaking point.

“Max!”, Dayson shouted. “Leave Tanya alone and get your ass here! You said that you will only give her water. That’s more than just water!”

Dayson was irritable because Max was getting sugar from his mate, while Dayson was sitting with guys and controlling his urges to taste Talia.

Maddox broke the kiss and grinned at Dayson. “Tanya wanted coffee also. How can I say no to my mate?” He looked at Tanya and caressed her cheek with his thumb. “I will do anything to make you happy.”

Tatiana looked at Maddox dreamily. Normally, she would call him out on bullshit because no one spouts such cheesy lines and means it, but in this case, Tatiana could feel his emotions and she knew he meant it.

“Thank you for the coffee.”

“Anytime, doll…”, Maddox said in a sexy low voice. “It seems you want more.”

Tatiana’s eyes flashed with delight. She always loved coffee, and she tasted many blends, and Maddox’s flavors were hands-down the best coffee she ever had. After marking, his flavors intensified and acted like a drug. She was addicted. It was never enough.

Kissing was only a small sip from the cup of pleasures Maddox can provide, and Tatiana was eager to accept whatever he was willing to give.

Seeing that Tatiana’s lips were slightly parted, and her eyes darted from his eyes to his lips, Maddox smiled and then he kissed her again.

James made his way into the garden, and Dayson stood up to meet him.

The two of them talked before breakfast, and Dayson told James about the situation with Nora.

James was not surprised to hear that Nora found her way into Dayson’s study when no one else was around, but he didn’t expect that Nora would end up in the dungeon. That only confirmed James’ guess how Talia was important. Very important.

James also respected the fact that Dayson rejected Nora. James knew very well that his father never refused a free meal.

Dayson told James to include in his (aka George’s) daily report how Nora was disrespectful toward Alpha Dayson and that she was sent to the dungeon to reflect on her actions, per request from Dayson’s future Luna.

Of course, Alpha Edward will think that the future Luna is Marcy, and by the time that’s clarified, Dayson will secure Talia’s position and protection.

“Done?”, Dayson asked, and James nodded in response. “Any problems?”

“No problems. I already got confirmation that things are progressing well. Did you arrange for the things I asked?”

Dayson’s evaluation of James changed. He was not only observant, but also calculative, smart, proactive, and he knew how to ask for what he wanted.

The thing was that Dayson didn’t ask James to confirm with Alpha Edward anything, yet James did it on his own.

Dayson thought how having that youngster on his side would be a good thing, but if James turns against him, it could be dangerous. However, they already started this dance, and the only thing Dayson could do is to keep his eyes on James and stay vigilant.

“You can head out after breakfast.”, Dayson said. “Until then, you should get to know guys who will accompany you.”

Dayson’s eyes lost focus for a moment and then he turned to look at the main entry. A second later, three figures emerged.

They were three teenagers, two boys, and a girl. They all looked to be about James’ age.

“James”, Dayson called. “These are Zack, Eric, and Petra. They might be young, but they are my junior warriors and they each have qualifications you asked for. Zack and Eric can drive, Petra will get her license after she turns sixteen years old. In addition, they all went to human town at least a few times, and they will double as your bodyguards. I assumed that you would prefer this arrangement compared to having a few older guys going with you.”

James nodded in approval and listened to the instructions Dayson gave to the three teens.

“You have the list of places James wants to visit. It is not set in stone, as you are welcome to suggest alternatives and make adjustments as needed. If there is any emergency, let me know. Keep your phones on, so we can track you with GPS if anything happens unexpectedly. When you are in human town, he will not be James, the future Alpha of the Red Moon pack. There, he will be James, your friend. Don’t stand out, don’t cause trouble, but above all, don’t let anyone bully you and prioritize safety. If James is pleased with your performance today, you will get to accompany him tomorrow as well.”

They all nodded in understanding, and Dayson gestured toward the table with food while saying, “Help yourself with breakfast. When you are done, you are free to leave.”

With that, Dayson returned to his table.

James shook hands with three teens and they exchanged names while assessing each other.

Zack looked like a quiet guy who spoke only when spoken to.

Erik had a big smile on his face, and the only thing bigger was the lens of the camera that was hanging around his neck.

Petra was a girl with a hair full of curly brown hair, and her keen gaze told James that she shouldn’t be underestimated.

James didn’t realize that he smiled brightly while talking with his three companions for the day. While imagining his days ahead, James always saw himself doing things alone, while one or two older guys stood at the back and watched him. But with three teens, James will look like he is hanging out with friends.

Who knows, maybe he actually makes friends? That would be first.

At the Red Moon pack, he is surrounded by trainers and tutors, with George being among the youngest ones. Teens that are James’ age are looking at him like he is some untouchable royalty because status and rankings are strictly respected in the Red Moon pack.

James found it refreshing to be able to engage in conversation with kids his age and they didn’t look like they swallowed a stick.

James, Petra, Erik, and Zack got food and sat at a table that was prepared for them.

“You must have these feasts often.”, Petra said while gesturing toward the table that was full of breakfast items. Her plate had the most food piled up among the others.

“Not really.”, James said. When he saw that Petra’s curious gaze was directed at him, James added, “I mostly study and train and days are the same. This is different.” Very different.

James realized that they probably think he has a super exciting life as the future Alpha of the Red Moon pack, and he really didn’t want to disappoint them, so he decided to stir the conversation in a different direction.

“Alpha Dayson said you are junior warriors. What does that mean?”, James asked.

To his surprise, it was the silent Zack who responded, “At the age of sixteen, students who perform well in school get a chance to start training, assuming we pass the physical and mental exams.”
