Chapter 447 – Hidden Desires of the Werewolf King Novel

Filed To Story: Veiled Desires of the Alpha King Novel

Dayson puffed his cheeks. Somehow, Talia’s words made sense. But there was no way he will let her go alone. “Maya will go with you.”

“No.”, Talia firmly rejected.

Dayson couldn’t believe this. “What?”

“There are more than fifty guests. If you want to sway the opinions effectively, you will need more people. Who is better than Maya and Jaeden?”

“You are not going to see Shaman on your own.”

“I won’t go on my own, but I can’t go with two people who are the most reliable.”

Both Maya and Jaeden puffed their chest at Talia’s words. She called them reliable.

Dayson narrowed his eyes at Talia. “And who will go?”

Talia thought about her options. Everyone was mated or somehow important, leaving her with one person… “Mindy.”

Dayson didn’t like this. Whenever Talia and Mindy were on their own, Mindy would end up corrupting Talia in some way. Dayson will never forget that wretched dildo. While on the topic of that dildo, Dayson flicked it through the window, and the thing just disappeared. Dayson assumed that someone found it and took it away. It’s a purple thing, definitely standing out in the green foliage of the garden.

Seeing that Dayson’s frown was deepening by the second, Talia added, “Assign two warriors to accompany me. I trust Mindy. She is quick-witted, and she can help me persuade Shaman Gideon to come…”

Travis reached in front of the room on the second floor of the packhouse and he knocked on the door.

“Coming!”, Dawn shouted, and Travis could hear rushed footsteps.

The door opened and Travis blinked at the sight of Dawn who was wrapped in a towel and holding it bunched at her chest level. Travis’ eyes moved on their own, to confirm that the towel covered Dawn’s important parts as the towel ended just below her buttocks.

“Doctor Travis!”, Dawn exclaimed and took a step back. She was expecting Zina to bring her the dress.

Nudity is not a big deal, and she was not even nude, but Travis appeared unexpectedly, and she was startled.

Travis opened his mouth to say something and then he groaned when an unmistakable Alpha aura hit him full force.

His vision blurred, but he definitely saw George pulling Dawn to stand behind him.

Travis cursed his luck. What the hell? Was George an Alpha also?

He wanted to be a doctor and save people, but at this rate, he should change his profession because it’s too dangerous.

Maybe he should spend his day in the gym, with warriors and other sport-ish people, like Keith. Travis remembered that Keith was on survival training in the mountains, and Travis thought how that’s not a bad place to be. Anything was better than this.

“George…”, Dawn called while tugging his arm. “That’s the doctor. He came to check on you. It’s my fault for opening the door like this.”

George exhaled sharply and stabilized his emotions and Travis was able to breathe when the aura pressing on him subsided.

“Please, come in.”, Dawn said sweetly to Travis. “You can do the check-up and I will go and find something to put on.”

“My clothes are in the closet.”, George said. “Pick something.”

Dawn’s cheeks heated at the thought of wearing his clothes. She nodded in small jerky movements and then dashed into the closet.

Travis wished that she didn’t leave because she could control this unreasonable man.

George moved from the door and gestured to Travis to enter, and Travis was not sure if that was a good idea, but he steeled his resolve and reminded himself that he is a medical professional. He can do this.

Elder Samson and Elder Charlie arrived together at the party.

The duo of Elders moved toward the bar in the event hall while greeting people present. Everyone was familiar.

Just like the majority of guests present, Elder Samson and Elder Charlie had a feeling that this was about Dayson announcing his Luna, but they were not sure if that will be Marcy or Talia.

Of course, they were hoping it was Marcy, but they also remembered that Dayson told them how Talia was his fated mate. Talia was fierce, but considering that many confirmed Marcy was in their pack… which one will it be?

“Isn’t that James?”, Elder Charlie asked while eyeing a group of four teens sitting at a table.

Elder Samson looked in that direction to see James sitting with Petra, Erik, and Zack. The four of them were focused on their phones and chatting in a hushed but lively manner. They were playing an online game together.

“It is.”, Elder Samson responded without trying to conceal his displeasure. “It seems that the future Alpha is behaving differently without his father around.”

Both Elder Samson and Elder Charlie were familiar with the Redmayne family, and they knew James as a stalwart young man whose serious expression would project wisdom beyond his age, like a true promising Alpha, yet now he was no different compared to other kids.

“Are you excited?”, a hushed female voice came from the side.

“Agatha…”, Elder Charlie called with a nod in greeting.

Agatha is their senior, and also an Elder, so they needed to show respect, even if it’s just for show.

For the outsiders, they were all a harmonious group of Elders, each working for the benefit of the Shadow Fang pack. But on the inside, their relationships were tense as they were always engaged in a show of power, regardless of if it was for securing perks that matter or getting their way in a simple spat.

Elder Charlie and Elder Samson looked down on many other Elders, like Elder Agatha who got her title just because she won some awards in the human city and was voted as the best teacher by her students year after year. On top of her questionable achievements, Elder Agatha was prone to gossip. Everyone likes to hear gossip; they were also aware that Elder Agatha would wrap them into her stories. No one was ever spared from this gossipy grandma, so they are trying to stay away from her.

“What should we be excited about?”, Elder Samson asked.

“Didn’t you hear?”, Elder Agatha inched closer, and her sparkling eyes didn’t match her aged appearance. She looked like a woman in her sixties, but werewolves have longer lifespans compared to humans, and she was at least double of that.

“Alpha Dayson…” She lowered her voice. “That boy finally decided to stop waiting for his mate, and we will get a Luna.”

Both Elder Charlie and Elder Samson were stupefied. Did she say that Alpha Dayson was waiting for his mate? He was sleeping around like there is no tomorrow. How was that waiting!?

Elder Charlie was first to recover. “What makes you think so?”

“Don’t tell me you didn’t hear. Marcy from the Red Moon pack is here.”, she said with a knowing look.

“So?”, Elder Samson asked and waved toward the table where James was with three other teenagers. “Alpha Edward’s son is also present. Should we assume that James is part of the dowry? Or that Alpha Edward would give his only daughter without being personally present?”

Elder Agatha frowned at his sarcastic tone. “Are you against this union?”

Elder Charlie responded, “We have no opinions at this point. Before you accuse us of anything, you should look at the big picture. Representatives from several packs are here, and maybe our Alpha will tell us tonight that he found his Luna, or maybe he will announce that we will build a shelter for abandoned children. As a teacher, you should understand that taking care of children is important, and if we are about to face a big project, all of us should contribute in some way.”

Elder Agatha thought for a moment while scrutinizing two men in front of her. Everyone was aware of how Elder Samson and Elder Charlie were close to Alpha Edward. Sure, some other Elders also had connections in the Red Moon pack, but they paled in comparison to being able to reach the Alpha directly.

She expected that they will be gloating how their connections were finally coming in handy, and their attitudes pointed to one thing… “You know something.”

“We only know that sharing opinions in this place…”, Elder Charlie paused while looking around, indicating that ‘this place’ was the packhouse. “…can backfire if you are wrong. And if we assume that you are right, it won’t bring any harm to not talk about it until the official announcement was made.”

Elder Agatha frowned. Everyone was talking about the union of Alpha Dayson and Marcy and guessing how it will impact the dynamics of the packs and their positions. She saw these two men coming and she thought of getting to them first. Who would imagine that they wouldn’t be eager to talk about it? Were they gaining some massive benefits and were not willing to share?

“Do we need to remind you of the consequences of angering our Alpha?”, Elder Charlie asked.

Elder Agatha pressed her lips into a line surrounded by numerous fine wrinkles.

Everyone knew that she used to be one of the key decision-makers related to education and extracurricular activities for youngsters in the Shadow Fang pack. Kids and parents were visiting her often with big smiles and even bigger gifts while trying to curry favor with her so that they end up selected for the best programs. However, since Alpha Dayson took over, she was reduced to something like an advisor to the principal which was almost nothing. She even needed a pass to enter the school!

Elder Agatha exhaled sharply while shaking off negative thoughts. “I was just saying casually. Don’t take it seriously.”

“Don’t worry, we won’t.”, Elder Samson said, and he chuckled when she left with her nose raised high. It was obvious that she was offended. “You should have let her talk.”

Elder Charlie didn’t agree. “She would do her monologue, and her next victim would hear a version of how she talked with us about it and drag us into her mess. The best we can do is stay away and see how tonight will develop.”

…

Everyone’s attention went on the main entrance when Dayson made his appearance with Jaeden and Maya by his side. Some were disappointed that Marcy was not in that group.
