Chapter 547 – Hidden Desires of the Werewolf King Novel

Filed To Story: Veiled Desires of the Alpha King Novel

“Did I see it wrongly, or did she leave you behind?”, Marcy asked teasingly. “One would assume that your identity as the future Alpha would be enough to have women dying to get their hands on you, yet this one left. Topless, but she still left. Or was she not to your taste?”

James fought against the rage that swelled inside him. Why was Marcy talking about Cornelia when she had no idea what actually happened?

“Why are you here, Marcy?”, James asked stiffly. “Shouldn’t you be hiding in the other house?” He really wanted to know the answer to this question.

“Alpha Dayson said that the danger is over so there is no need for me to lay low.”

“He is back?”

“Yes. And the first thing he did was to move me here, and then we had dinner and walk in the garden.” Marcy didn’t want to talk about how that walk ended. It was not important, but she had another question, “Did you know that Commander George found his mate?”

“Yes. Dawn. What about it?”

“Nothing.”, Marcy said quickly.

She hoped that the stiff answer from James meant he didn’t know what happened between her and George. Considering how close James and George were, if James didn’t know, no one else knew either. It will be George’s word against Marcy’s. The only thing George had on Marcy was that he took her v-card, but Marcy was confident that after she sleeps with Dayson and cuts herself so that some blood ends on the bedsheets, the point of who took her virginity won’t be important and she will be free from George blackmailing her.

With that, Marcy decided to change the topic. “I’m excited about tomorrow.”

“What’s tomorrow?”

Marcy smiled widely. “Alpha Dayson will announce to the world that I will be his Luna.”

James knew that was the plan. Tomorrow, they will drop the final bomb on Marcy where she will realize that she was manipulated and used as a decoy, but the fact that Marcy was in the packhouse rubbed James the wrong way. That was not part of his plan, and if this was different, who knows what else changed? There were too many variables, and he needed more information, but Marcy’s head was in the clouds, and she obviously didn’t know what really happened.

“Since the big announcement will happen tomorrow, I suggest you get good rest. The news about the Shadow Fang pack getting their Luna will go viral. People will want to know more about you. The WW Magazine will definitely request an interview and a lot of photos. You shouldn’t allow people to see you with dark circles under your eyes.”

Marcy lifted her hands to touch her cheeks like she was checking if she had something there. “You are right. I will go and get some beauty sleep. See you at breakfast!”, Marcy ended in a singing voice and skipped into the packhouse.

The first sunrays of the day peeked over the mountains in the distance, creating a beautiful scenery outside, but Dayson’s full focus was on the little woman who was sleeping in his arms.

Talia didn’t want to sleep, but after their third lovemaking session, her eyes closed, and she succumbed to the exhaustion that accumulated over the last few days, with her arms wrapped around his body tightly.

Dayson was tired as hell, but he feared that if he falls asleep, the dark magic might stir when he was unaware, and he will forget about Talia again. He didn’t want that to happen. Forgetting Talia was forgetting who he was, and before yesterday, Dayson didn’t understand how much she changed him.

From the moment he identified Talia as his mate, Dayson’s world flipped upside down, and he didn’t want to go back to that empty existence that he tried to fill with training, work, and random women, only to be empty again at the start of the next day. The only way for him to feel at peace was with Talia by his side, and he didn’t want to lose this.

‘Dayson?’, Jaeden’s voice sounded in his head.

‘Yes?’

‘Sorry if I woke you up…’

‘I’m awake.’, Dayson interrupted Jaeden. ‘Tel me.’

‘Are you yourself?’

Dayson made a face. He didn’t like that Jaeden was questioning him, but then… he had a reason to do so. ‘Yes. I know who I am and who Talia is, but I might forget about you if you don’t get to the point of why you are disturbing me this early.’

‘It’s Marcy. What should we do with her?’

Dayson didn’t want to deal with Marcy, and he hoped that this was the last day of Marcy in their lives. ‘Nothing changes. We will proceed per James’ plan. Ask Marcy to contact her father before breakfast with the latest updates from her side. If she asks what’s the rush, tell her that we have a lot of things planned for today. Talk to her with respect, like she might be your Luna; that will get her excited. When she joins us for breakfast, we will tell her the truth.’

‘Alright.’, Jaeden responded with relief obvious in his voice. ‘Anything else?’

‘No. Don’t bother me until breakfast.’, Dayson grumbled and closed off the mind-link.

With that, Dayson’s attention was back to Talia.

She was so fragile, yet so strong, beautiful in every way possible.

Dayson’s neck was stinging because his feisty kitten marked him again! He never heard about mates marking each other more than once, but then… he never heard about mates who have ancient spirits for their wolves that were separated by the Moon Goddess herself.

Everything about Talia was out of the ordinary, and Dayson enjoyed every minute of it. As long as she was by his side, Dayson’s world was a happy place.

Dayson smiled dreamily at the memory of him marking Talia for the second time in the throes of passion. He didn’t think of doing it, but something inside him stirred and urged him to do it again, and he did.

Dayson tilted his head in an attempt to see Talia’s sleepy expression and his eyes lit up at the sight of redness on Talia’s neck. It was not big, and it was barely visible, but he hoped it will not heal and stay there forever because that right there was where he marked her last night!

“Mmm…”, Talia mumbled unintelligibly and tightened her arms around Dayson.

Dayson was quick to press his lips to the top of Talia’s head. “Shh… sleep, kitten. It’s still early. I’m here, watching over you.”

Talia smiled before her eyes opened to meet Dayson’s icy-blue orbs that were full of emotions and definitely not icy.

“Good morning, my love.”, Talia said dreamily.

Dayson stared at her, unaware that he was holding his breath. Talia rarely called him anything other than his name, and this time she called him her love, and he wanted to remember this moment.

Talia put her hand on his cheek. His emotions told her he was fine, and that their bond was stronger than ever, but his frozen expression didn’t seem right and considering that on the previous day he didn’t know who she was, she was worried. “Are you OK?”

Dayson smiled at her foolishly. “Never better.”

Dayson’s arms tightened around Talia, and he curled to envelop her body with his while burying his face in the crook of her neck. “I want us to stay like this forever.”, he mumbled.

Talia giggled with relief when she confirmed his clinginess as a sign that her Dayson was right there, holding her against him like he will never let go.

“Just like this?”, Talia asked and shifted a bit so that their bodies fit better against each other.

“Mhm…”, Dayson hummed in approval.

“Oh, I thought you would prefer something like this…”, Talia said playfully and then graphic images of her and Dayson flashed in his mind.

Dayson chuckled lowly. “That will work as well, Mrs. Blake.”

Talia lifted her head to look at him. “You know, when you called me Mrs. Blake the first time, I didn’t get it. And then I thought you were teasing me.”

“And now?”

“Now even if you don’t mean it, I have no intention of letting you go. You are mine.”

Her possessiveness turned him on. Did she know how sexy she was when her eyes flashed with determination? And she was determined to keep him for herself. That was the most potent aphrodisiac ever!

“I am yours. I always was.”, Dayson said with all the seriousness in the world while pushing a lock of hair behind her ear. “Even when I was not aware of your existence, I was searching for you…”, Dayson’s voice trailed when he realized that Talia was glowing.

And it was not only Talia, he was glowing as well.

Dayson lifted his hand to observe as it was enveloped in silvery light.

“What is this?”, he asked breathily.

Talia slid her hand into Dayson’s, and the glow started pulsating in the rhythm of their matching heartbeats.

“This is what happens when we are together as one.”, Talia said. “It’s a manifestation of our strength and powers. I assume you still need to figure out what powers you got after I marked you, and there is a chance it won’t happen until we dispel the dark magic, and you get Sapa back. However, I can tell you that since our marking, my strength and speed increased. I might be able to take you on.”

Dayson smiled mischievously. “We should spar so you can prove it.”

Talia’s cheeks heated. She knew very well that their sparring sessions had a tendency of turning hot and steamy. She was nearly out of exercising clothes because Dayson would rip them into shreds and the fact that he was projecting into her mind images of Talia on all four on top of the exercising mat with Dayson behind her was making her heart race. Damn! That was hot!

Talia and Dayson enjoyed their current intimacy. They were lying side by side on the bed, naked, and gazing into each other’s eyes. It was cheeky and comforting and the silvery glow around them made the moment much more special as proof that their bond reached the next level.

They relished the present while silently exchanging emotions and it was the best thing ever. However, Talia was aware that there were many things she needed to tell him, so she decided to start with one.

“There is a prophecy in the Midnight Guardians pack that speaks about a child blessed by the Moon Goddess who will bring calamity. Axel and his parents believe that’s me.”

Dayson’s brows came together in a frown. Talia didn’t tell him anything about what happened at the Midnight Guardians pack, or with Alpha Isaac and Alpha Sophia. The only thing he knew was that two Alphas lost their positions and that Axel was now in charge of that pack. But one thing bothered him more than that Alpha family.

“Calamity? You?”, Dayson asked while shaking his head. How could the kindest person he ever met be the bringer of bad things? “I will show them calamity when I get my hands on all the people who dared to harm you and get between us.”
