Chapter 594 – Hidden Desires of the Werewolf King Novel

Filed To Story: Veiled Desires of the Alpha King Novel

Dayson looked at Talia’s earnest expression as she asked to organize a cross-pack party, and Dayson couldn’t refuse her. “We can have an event for unmated individuals of several packs. I believe that Max, Cristian, and Tony will be willing to join.”

“Axel also!”, Talia added. “And we could invite witches as well.”

Dayson was not sure about that. “We should talk to our people about powers and witches before they come here. Witches might pass as humans, but members of the Midnight Guardians pack are a different thing.” He saw that Talia’s face fell, so he quickly added, “I’m not saying it won’t happen. However, people get to marking quickly and we don’t want them to be surprised when they start glowing or things float around them without an explanation. If we act rashly, it could backfire by people ostracizing them or capturing them for… you know.”

Talia nodded in understanding. She knew what Dayson wanted to say. It was for breeding purposes. Will they ever be able to contain the greed for power that runs among werewolves? “We have so much work ahead of us.” To investigate the whole breeding thing, and to educate their people about creatures that are different. Talia wondered if that can be done at the same time. What if they capture and punish individuals who were behind those sick schemes? If they make it public, then society can find out about creatures with powers and how using them was wrong. Talia hoped that it was just a few power-hungry individuals and that it was not widespread.

Seeing Talia’s concerned expression, Dayson coaxed her, “Don’t worry, kitten. We will figure out the best way to tackle this challenge so that it works out for everyone.”

Talia leaned on his chest. “I believe that we can do anything, as long as we are together.”

Dayson chuckled. The amount of trust she put in him was immense and he really didn’t want to disappoint her. As long as they get enough people on their side, and they don’t act rashly, things will work out. He already knew that James will be on their side because Cornelia was a witch, and James proved that he can come up with an elegant solution on the spot.

“We should pick a date for your Luna ceremony.”, Dayson said. “Now that our people know about you, we shouldn’t delay it.”

Talia had no idea what all was needed, and she didn’t feel like rushing it. “Max said that he and Tanya will have an event in about ten days. How about after that?” That will be the first Luna ceremony for Talia to attend, and she could get some ideas.

“Let’s not delay too much. People will want answers, and we should tell them the date in advance.” If it was up to him, it would happen on the same day.

“We can talk to Gideon and see if there is any day that works better than the others.”, Talia suggested, and she thought how the next full moon sounds good. That will give them four weeks to prepare, and hopefully deal with other pressing matters in the meantime. She snuggled closer to Dayson. “Do you think that we can take some time off after the ceremony?”

“Like a vacation?”

“Mhm…”, Talia confirmed with a hum.

Dayson approved. “Definitely. Think of a place.”

Talia didn’t need much time to come up with options for their vacation. “How about a place with beach access? Swimming and snorkeling sound fun. Or maybe we can visit the cabin again. I promise that I won’t call Axel no matter what happens.”

At the mention of Axel, Dayson got an idea. “You said that time passes differently for the Midnight Guardians pack and witches. How about we go there?”

Talia’s face lit up. They could spend two-three months there and it will be just days for the Shadow Fang pack!

“I will ask Axel and Yasmin to see if they have a place we could use. We can combine visiting their territories with taking time for ourselves. Axel told me that the main house at the Midnight Guardians pack is for the Alpha family, and I have a dedicated space, but I would prefer something with more privacy…” Talia stopped her excited chatter to look at Dayson dreamily. “I like that we can chat about things like normal people.”

“Are you saying that we are not normal?”

Talia rolled her eyes. “You know what I mean.”

He knew, and he enjoyed these moments of normalcy as well, but he was aware that they couldn’t spend the whole day in bed. “Are you ready to face the world now that people know you are my mate and the Luna of the Shadow Fang pack?”

“No.”, Talia responded right away and hugged him tightly. “I wish that nothing changes. I wish that we can stay like this forever. Why are you so eager to part from me?”

“I have no intention of parting from you, kitten.”, Dayson said while running his hand through her hair. “Our people are eager to see you by my side. They were looking forward to me giving them their Luna, and now that it happened, it will be alright. The whole pack loves you and they will help me in protecting their Luna.”

‘At least on the outside’, Talia thought but she didn’t want to say that aloud. She was confident that Dayson was aware of how all kinds of intentions could be hidden behind a smile. “What do we do now?”

“Now we will get ready for the day and head down for breakfast and take it from there.”, Dayson responded. “But first…”

Talia yelped when Dayson rolled them over unexpectedly, ending on top of her.

He nipped her jaw playfully and spoke against her skin, “Luna of the Shadow Fang pack needs to take care of her Alpha.”

Talia thought that he will do something naughty, but he buried his face in the crook of her neck and took a deep breath.

“I love you, kitten”, he murmured. “I need to feel you close because only like this I feel complete.” He released a long breath. “Twice. Twice the dark magic made me forget about you and twice I experienced how it would feel if I lose you. I didn’t remember you, but I felt the loss of compassion, the loss of emotions, an important part of me was gone and I became a person I don’t want to see again. I am scared of losing you…”

“Shh…”, Talia coaxed him while patting his back. “It won’t happen again. The dark magic is gone, and I am here now. If anyone dares to mess with you, I will make him regret it.” She really meant it.

Dayson relaxed against her, lowering himself slightly so that his body pressed on hers, but he still kept most of his weight on his elbows.

Dayson arranged kisses on her temple and forehead while talking, “I am proud you are mine and I want to show you off. I love you with all my heart and soul and I want to share the rest of my life with you. Let’s grow old together, kitten. I will cherish you and protect you and I won’t allow anyone to endanger you in any way because even if I live forever, my life will have no meaning without you in it…”

They say that the strength of one’s wolf determines the rate of aging, and considering how strong Sapa and Liseli were, Dayson guessed that they had close to forever.

Dayson didn’t want to ruin the mood, but Dayson’s parents, his grandparents, and many other powerful werewolves met their untimely demise. It was the greed for power that made people act against them as most Alphas died either in a war, in a challenge, or in suspicious circumstances; sometimes they were targeted by their own family members, but it was almost always by people close to them.

Dayson protected himself by keeping everyone at bay, and the way Talia accepted people was opening doors to potential spies and backstabbers, but Dayson didn’t want to spoil this for her, seeing how happy she was to finally not be alone.

Dayson was determined to keep Talia safe. He really wanted them to grow old together.

James exited the shower enclosure while wrapping a towel around his waist.

He stopped in front of a mirror to make sure that the towel was low enough to tempt Cornelia.

James was confident in his physique. Years of strenuous exercise made him look more mature and no one would think of him as a teenager. James caught Cornelia stealing glances at him more than once, and he hoped that this will work.

After they returned to his room last night, James was convinced that they will make progress, but then Cornelia asked him to shift into his wolf form and they ended up sleeping like that. Well, James didn’t do much sleeping, but Cornelia used him as an oversized furry bolster pillow.

At this rate, he will never get laid!

James was not really desperate to get frisky with Cornelia, but she was gorgeous, and she smelled of wild berries, and he was aroused since last night when she rode his wolf without panties!

He wanted to hold her, skin to skin, and he wanted to taste her lips and much more. It was maddening but he knew that he couldn’t rush this, and even though all the signals were there, something was wrong. Whenever he approached Cornelia, she would pull back at the last moment. However, this morning, James was determined to get his answers and make progress.

He tussled his damp hair to look a bit messy but not too messy, and he pushed the towel to stay dangerously low on his hips. With that, he was ready to face Cornelia.

James opened the door of the bedroom and his eyes immediately found Cornelia who was sitting on his bed with a tablet in her hands. He introduced her to the wonders of modern technology on the previous day and since then Cornelia was stuck to the tablet, researching about humans, unless something else pressing was going on.

James cleared his throat to get her attention.

Cornelia was painfully aware of James’ presence, and she pretended that she didn’t notice him nearly naked standing there, but when he cleared his throat, she couldn’t fake being deaf, so she glanced his way.

He looked edible.

“Did you forget your clothes?”, Cornelia asked.

James frowned. Why was she pretending not to be affected by him?

He decided to face this issue head-on and he moved to sit on the bed next to her.
