Chapter 640 – Hidden Desires of the Werewolf King Novel

Filed To Story: Veiled Desires of the Alpha King Novel

Talia cleared her throat and turned to talk to the faces full of eager anticipation.

“It’s nice to see you again after such a long time”, she said. For her, it was not so long, but it was months for them. “I hear that you’ve been doing well, waiting for the news and I can assure you that there will be something soon. Please, be patient just a bit more as I sort out things with Axel. We don’t plan to conceal things from you, but we don’t want to rush with announcements until we have something solid. Until then, I want you all to meet someone important.” She glanced at Dayson. “This is Dayson Blake, Alpha of the Shadow Fang pack, my fated mate.”

Talia leaned closer into Dayson, her shoulder fitting perfectly under his armpit, and she waited for a reaction.

After one second of silence, murmurs filled the space, and then people erupted in cheers.

Talia could feel they were elated by this news. Talia having an Alpha for her mate meant more power and stability to the Midnight Guardians pack, and somehow… they were admiring her even more.

And she could also feel intense emotions from her mate which confirmed his approval of the introduction she just made.

Dayson smiled as his chest swelled with pride. He was pleased that she introduced him first, and she did it as Dayson Blake, Alpha Dayson (and not Luna Dayson).

Dayson raised his arm, at the same time as he released a short burst of his aura, and two-hundred-something people in the noisy cafeteria quieted down abruptly like someone flipped a switch.

“I am glad to be here.”, Dayson said. “The Shadow Fang pack was always on friendly terms with the Midnight Guardians pack. We are in the process of discussing how Talia and I being mates will reshape our relationship, but I can assure you that our bond will strengthen. We are a family now. Your Alpha here is planning a mixer for unmated members of our packs, and I will help her make it a reality. Expect it in the near future.”

Boisterous cheers shook the cafeteria, and Talia allowed all that joy to wash over her. They were really looking forward to this, and Talia appreciated this dose of happiness that Dayson gave them.

‘Axel?’, Talia called through the pack mind-link. ‘Do you have pack runs?’

‘We didn’t have one in a long time, but yes, we do.’, Axel responded.

This information was just what Talia hoped to hear. She wanted to address people in the cafeteria, but the clamor was not subsiding, so she released a burst of her aura, just as Dayson did before.

Compared to Dayson’s aura, Talia’s was not so sharp, it was like when a mother gently pats her child’s shoulder to get his attention.

“Tomorrow, we will have a feast, and after that, we will have a pack run.”, she announced, making Axel, Yasmin, Meg, and Kai look at her questionably. That was news for them also!

Talia was not sure if Cassandra’s helpers can do the ceremony in her absence (because Cassandra was used as a lab rat by witches), but Talia didn’t think that was a problem. Even without the ceremony, it was about the pack coming together, establishing hierarchy, and confirming the existing one while strengthening the bond between the pack members.

‘Will you lead the pack run with me, Alpha Dayson?’, Talia asked Dayson through their private mind-link. ‘Sapa and Liseli can have some time together also.’ As an added bonus, here they didn’t need to worry about someone seeing them emit the white light because members of the Midnight Guardians pack definitely saw all kinds of abilities.

Dayson responded to Talia with a lopsided smile that promised carnal pleasures. Talia took that as his agreement.

“I will lead the run with my mate, Alpha Dayson”, Talia said to everyone. “I hope you will join us, and I also hope you won’t mind our friends joining.” She gestured toward Keith, Liam, James, and Cornelia. “Keith and Liam are capable warriors from the Shadow Fang pack, they are my close friends and my personal guards. James is our friend from the Red Moon pack, and Cornelia is Luna Yasmin’s sister from the Silver Flame Coven.”

Talia didn’t mention Sandy because she was not sure if Sandy and Tyler will end their activities until tomorrow evening, but as Tyler’s mate, Sandy won’t be an outsider.

Axel noticed that people were still looking at Talia, expecting her to say more, so he stepped in.

“Alpha came here to eat, so we appreciate your understanding in letting her have a breather. Spread the word that the feast is tomorrow with the pack run afterward. Who doesn’t attend will miss a good thing.”, Axel said, and he remembered one more thing, “Before we resume our regular activities, I want to share another good news…” He made a dramatic pause. “Our Gamma Tyler found his mate. It’s Sandy from the Shadow Fang pack, and she is the reason he won’t be joining us for dinner tonight.”

Laughter and claps erupted, and Talia couldn’t believe how all of them were happy for Tyler. They were all locked up in this realm for a long time, sharing hardships and desires. Weren’t they like a big happy family?

For a brief moment, Talia wondered how things would turn out if she grew up here instead of the Red Moon pack. If she knew about her identity with an Alpha bloodline and a special wolf, would she be so confident like Marcy, Mindy, Cassie, Jade… Talia shook those useless thoughts away. It’s not like she could turn back the time.

…

In Tyler’s room…

There were tatters of red and gray fabric scattered on the floor, shoes, black trousers, a bra… all those forming a path from the door to the bed where Sandy and Tyler were lying naked.

Tyler was on his back, staring at the ceiling with a big grin on his face. If not for his ears, his mouth would form a full circle around his head. It was his first time having sex (and second, and third, and fourth), and he thought it will be amazing, but now he confirmed that his imagination paled in comparison to the real thing. Even just holding Sandy like that and inhaling her zesty scent while sparks of their bond danced wherever they touched was phenomenal.

Sandy was next to Tyler, her body leaning on his, equally dazed by the marvels of the coitus that was amplified by the sparks of their bond. The man was not only gifted with a cock that had a generous girth that stretched her perfectly with a hint of ecstatic pain, but Tyler was adorably curious and cautious, and she loved the way his maple-infused breath splashed on her face whenever he groaned that silly nickname Sasa. She had no intention of correcting him.

Tyler kissed Sandy’s forehead, happy to finally hold his mate in his arms, and he opened up his feelings to share his joy, but he paused when he felt that there was some dejection coming from her.

“Sasa?”, he called. “What’s wrong?” The first time it was short and a bit clumsy, but every next time was better and longer with different angles and rotations, and he was confident that he did a good job of satisfying her. Or maybe it was not good enough?

Sandy looked at him after a long second of silence. “Do you think I’m worthy of being a Gamma by your side?”

Tyler didn’t get it. “Gamma is just a set of duties I can handle on my own. If you are interested in sharing them, I will show you what I do, and you can pick what you want to do. Don’t worry about it.”

“If that’s not the problem, then what is? Don’t you like me?”

Tyler felt like someone poured a bucket of ice on him. Where did that come from? “What made you think I don’t like you?”

“Why didn’t you mark me?”

“Oh…”, he exhaled audibly in relief. For a moment, he thought that his performance in bed was lacking and she thought his heart was not into it because his cock was all in.

Now he also understood the Gamma question because he got his Gamma position after a ritual that strengthened his bond with the pack and gave him a power boost. As his mate, Sandy will get the same after he marks her.

But the Gamma position was not the reason why he didn’t mark her yet.

“We need to talk.”, he said.

Sandy was alarmed. This sounded serious. The ‘we need to talk’ was usually something people said before breaking up. But they were mates! Why would he break up with her, unless… “Do you have another woman? Or do you prefer men?”

Tyler stared at Sandy while her words ‘another woman’ and ‘prefer men’ bounced on top of his head, refusing to be processed. Did she just accuse him of womanizing? Or did he look like he would rather be with a man than with her?

For more than two decades, Tyler kept himself pure, body and mind, suffering endless lonely nights and faking smiles whenever he saw a couple while longing for his mate, and now that she was finally there, she was doubting him!

“What!? From where are these ideas coming from?”, Tyler asked in outrage. “Why would I look at men or women when I have you for a mate? I gave you my first kiss, my first everything.”

Sandy pressed her lips into a line guiltily. She knew that as a member of the Midnight Guardians pack, Tyler was saving himself for his mate, and the mate bond rewired any previous crushes to become insignificant when compared to Sandy, but that didn’t mean Tyler didn’t have some other commitments. But it seemed that there was no one else, so why did he want to talk so seriously then?

She pushed herself into a seated position while clutching the comforter to cover her breasts.

“Then explain quickly, why were you so eager to have sex with me?”, she asked stiffly.

Tyler’s stomach dropped. Was he so horny that he didn’t realize she didn’t want to?

He swallowed hard. “Were you not willing?”

Sandy shook her head. “That’s not the point. We kind of jumped into it and I have no regrets because it was great. However, we are mates, and it should end with you marking me and not like this.”

Tyler stared at her. She said so many things. He heard that sex was great, but she also said it was rushed and she was upset because he didn’t mark her.

Ah! Did he end up looking like a lecher who won’t cherish her!?

“Sorry, Sasa.”, Tyler said with sincerity, and he got up to sit and face her. “It’s just… you are so sexy that I couldn’t help myself. Before we undressed, I was supposed to tell you that the members of the Midnight Guardians pack are different from regular werewolves.”

“How different?”, Sandy asked reluctantly. How much she saw (and she saw plenty), Tyler was not missing any parts, nor did he have any extras.

Tyler felt the loss of Sandy’s proximity, so he took her hands into his. The comforter fell on her lap to expose her breasts and he really wanted to touch and lick her there, but the timing was off, so he forced himself to maintain eye contact.

Elders warned them to do this talk before any intimacy, but he got carried away and now it looked like he used a honey trap. But it would be worse if he actually marked her, so this was salvageable. Hopefully.

“You know what magic is, right?”, Tyler said cautiously.

Sandy guessed what he wanted to say. “Are you going to tell me how members of your pack have abilities?”

Tyler blinked. “You know?”

Sandy smirked proudly. “I am Alpha Talia’s personal guard. How can I not know that she is amazing? And she gave us a heads-up before we came here so we don’t freak out and embarrass ourselves if we see something unusual.”

Tyler exhaled in relief. He was glad that she knew already, and she didn’t seem to think badly of it. “Well, then this talk will be short. Do you know that when I mark you, there will be a chance of you getting an ability?” Not just a chance because all marked mates got something, but the question was if that was an ability worth using or not.
