Chapter 748 – Hidden Desires of the Werewolf King Novel

Filed To Story: Veiled Desires of the Alpha King Novel

Liseli groaned. All this was mentally exhausting, and she would be already jumping on the male who was holding them, but Talia was in charge when they were in the human body, diminishing Liseli’s control.

Liseli’s mind was a mess, and the only thing she could think of was… ‘Your power.’

‘What about it?’

‘If you suspect that’s not Dayson, blast him.’

‘What will that achieve?’

‘You can’t hurt your mate. If the man holding you is Dayson, it will go right through him, and if it’s not…’

‘I might kill him.’

‘Even in this state, I can confirm that he is carrying us somewhere. If that’s not mate, he deserves to die. Or would you rather allow a man who is not Dayson to touch you? Just as our senses are messed up, he is impacted by your heat, and he won’t be able to resist unless he has a mate bond to protect him. I am fairly positive that he is unmated because I am absolutely positive that the thing pressing on your waist is not a banana.’

Talia paused. She was unsure who that was, but other than Dayson, two more faces popped into her mind. One was Gregory, the man who was talking to her before her heat, and the second one was Keith. The idea of being intimate with any of them was nauseating, but killing…? And what if that was Keith?

…

Dayson was running through the foliage like the wind.

If any patrol spotted him and wanted to stop him, he was out of sight by the time they realized that the black blur was a wolf.

Jaeden reported that they found Caleb and other guards in a daze in the area where Talia should be.

Caleb said there was an intruder, a Guardian; Talia and the Guardian spoke, and then Keith jumped the guy before taking Talia away. It was not much, but Jaeden informed Maddox and Tony, and they were all spread in search of that Guardian who left only some blood splatters behind.

Dayson left to Jaeden to deal with handling Gregory, and he focused on following after Keith and Talia.

Dayson was losing his mind at the thought of what might happen. Why was Keith not responding to Dayson’s summons? And Talia was unreachable also!

With Talia in heat, she will be delirious. What if she is aroused to the point of not caring who will provide relief? What if Keith can’t stop himself? What if Keith doesn’t want to stop himself?

Dayson would rip Keith into pieces if he dared to do something unsightly to Talia, but what would be the point of killing him if the damage was already done?

Oh, God! What if Talia ended up with Keith’s child!?

‘Stop it!’ Sapa growled at Dayson. ‘I can’t focus on finding mate!’

‘Sorry.’ Dayson couldn’t help it. ‘If he dares to touch her…’

‘We will kill him together, and we will take our time while doing so,’ Sapa said. ‘But don’t get riled up before you know what’s happening. There is a reason why the Moon Goddess made you mates. I finally got Liseli, and I refuse to believe she was mine only so another wolf can touch her!’

‘But what if…?’ Dayson couldn’t finish.

‘What if!?’ Sapa snapped. ‘What if that boy takes advantage of the situation? What if mate ends up carrying his pup? Will you discard her? Will you kill him? You are the one who put him as her head guard even though you knew he has feelings for YOUR mate. Even if she doesn’t end up pregnant, the fact that another man touched her will create a rift between you. She won’t be with him because he is not her mate, and she won’t be with you because of the guilt. She will live with eternal shame and anguish, and maybe even sever the mate bond in order to let you free, and it will be all your fault! It’s your duty to protect your mate! If anything happens to her, you have no right to blame anyone else!’

Dayson felt like someone poured a bucket of cold ice on him, one that was so icy that was preventing him from breathing.

Sapa felt guilty for unloading his anger on Dayson, but this was not the time for losing focus.

‘Boy!’ Sapa shouted. ‘Keep yourself together! Our mate needs us. You can freak out later.’

Dayson was startled when Sapa stopped suddenly.

‘What’s going on?’ Dayson asked. He couldn’t pick up anything. Actually, that was the problem.

‘I can’t sense, mate.’ Sapa said.

Dayson felt his world collapsing. What did that mean now?

Sapa lifted his head and sniffed the air. Among the scents of the forest, there was a faint citrusy scent of freesia, and Sapa dashed in the direction where Talia’s scent led.

Dayson’s insides tightened. Sapa didn’t say anything, but the scent of Talia’s arousal was obvious. It was happening, Talia was in heat, and Dayson was not by her side. Damn it!

Dayson was unsure when they reached the opening to a cave, and he was confident that Talia’s scent was coming from there.

‘Wait!’ Dayson shouted at Sapa. He was not sure if he wanted to go in there. If he sees Talia and Keith entangled, it will kill him.

‘Did you come here to chicken out?’ Sapa barked and walked into the cave.

Keith stumbled into the cave with Talia in his arms.

He was forcing his legs to keep moving while tightening his hold on Talia in order to prevent his hands from wandering and touching where it was not appropriate.

But it was hard.

The scent of Talia’s arousal was ingrained into his system, stirring his wolf and urging him to do the unspeakable. Her body was on fire, and she was clinging to him, obviously wanting it, right? “Dayson…” Talia breathed, snapping Keith out of his daze, even if it was just for a moment.

He looked back to confirm how far they were from the entrance, but it was not far enough. If anyone got closer to the cave, they could pick up the sweet scent Talia’s body released. It was like an open invitation, and Keith wanted to make sure it reached no one.

Keith was anxious because he couldn’t guarantee they were not followed. Right. Right. Someone might have followed them. In that case, he couldn’t just give in. He needed to stay alert and protect Talia, his Luna. What if that Guardian comes back? What if he comes with reinforcements?

Keith found a spot to put Talia down. She grabbed his arm as he pulled back, and her fingers dug into his flesh. Keith froze. After a moment of hesitation, he pushed the hair from her face. She was drenched in sweat, and her face was flushed, making her even more alluring

“It will be OK. Hang in there,” Keith said, and she moaned while rubbing her face against his palm.

Damn it!

He needed to get out of there. But how far should he go? Can he leave her side? To make things worse, his wolf was going crazy in the desire to claim the female who was lying on the ground, lost in arousal and pulling him closer, like he was the one who was supposed to help her.

Was the whole Universe set on testing his willpower? er-The only thing preventing him from giving in was the thought that he didn’t want Talia to hate him when it was over because it will be over, eventually, no matter what Keith did.

He would live through harsh training and torture, but he couldn’t survive if she hated him. Hurting her would be hurting himself and if she stopped smiling at him, he would wither away. Keith was confident that he should get a medal for enduring this much, but Alpha Dayson will probably have Keith’s head for failing to protect Talia and bringing her here. Dayson, right! Keith wondered, did he mind-link Dayson, or was he only thinking about it? What if Dayson doesn’t find them? What if…?

Talia moaned again, and her hand moved over her abdomen, obviously going lower.

Keith closed his eyes and pushed himself away from Talia. Even without looking at her, Keith could feel the heat radiating from Talia’s body. She was on fire. Every heartbeat brought him a pulse of her addictive scent, and he swallowed hard.

‘SLAP!’

Keith slapped himself harshly, but it didn’t do much to snap him to his senses. He was now staring at Talia, whose dress was stuck to her body completely, leaving not a single curve hidden. She was beautiful.

Keith got on all four and crawled closer to Talia. He hovered above her face. Her eyes were closed tightly, her cheeks red, and her lips slightly parted, silently calling him to claim them. “Ahh…” A shaky sigh escaped her lips, and his eyes snapped to see that Talia’s hand was between her legs as she rubbed herself over the dress.

The sight of Talia pleasuring herself only added flames to the already burning fire.

Keith remembered that Katya told him how when the heat strikes, no amount of touching will help. Only when a male releases his seed inside the female in heat will she find relief.

Talia needed a man, and Keith was one with so much pressure in his groin area that it was painful.

Was there any point in resisting? Surely, death would be acceptable if he experienced Talia moaning his name as he plowed her insides-0 Inch by inch, Keith’s gaze moved higher until it reached Talia’s face. He froze when he realized that her eyes were flickering in silvery light. What happened next caught him unprepared. A burst of silvery light exploded from Talia’s body, propelling him backward with so much force that he got slammed against the wall of the cave, and he blacked out.

“Ugh…” Keith groaned while regaining consciousness, and he was sure he had multiple fractures. The pain all over and the metallic taste in his mouth were proof he had internal injuries.

What the hell happened? Some images flashed in his mind, reminding him why he was in that cave.

Talia!

He panickly looked in the direction where Talia was and relaxed when he saw her there.

It was just the two of them in the cave. No one else came while he was knocked out.

Silvery light didn’t disappear. It gathered around Talia like a glowing bubble that pulsated as she breathed, making her look like a princess who was waiting for her prince to kiss the had things away. A fly was attracted to the light, and the moment it touched the silvery curtain, it exploded in smoke, confirming Keith’s theory that the light was not only pretty but also acted like some form of defensive mechanism. Talia moaned softly, her legs rubbed against each other, and Keith cursed under his breath. Even with all this pain assaulting his body, he was still hard as hell and thinking about getting closer to Talia. A black wolf emerged from the entrance into the cave, and Keith stiffened. He recognized Dayson, and he was not sure if he was happy or disappointed that Alpha had arrived. 0 Dayson stalked toward Talia without acknowledging Keith’s presence. The view of Talia was obscure, but Keith could see that Talia’s skirt was pulled up, and her hand was rubbing her precious parts over her panties. Keith was sure that Dayson will gauge his eyes out for seeing such a thing. Should he pretend to be unconscious?

Dayson’s heart resumed beating at the sight of Talia lying on the damp ground inside the cave. Keith was nowhere near her, and her panties were in place, giving a huge dose of relief to Dayson. Their future was not broken_

Talia’s body was encased in silvery light, and everything smelled of her arousal. It was intoxicating.

‘Mate is suffering,’ Sapa said. ‘Only you can help her. I will leave you alone now.’ With that, Sapa retracted at the back of Dayson’s mind. Dayson shifted into his human form when he got close to the silvery light. He sniffed to confirm that Talia’s scent was faint, and so was the pull of the bond. Dayson guessed that it was because of that silvery light enveloping her. Talia was sweaty and frowning, obviously uncomfortable, and Dayson wished for a power to make her distress disappear. Unfortunately, only one thing would help her now, and this was not the right place. Also, Dayson was aware of their audience.

Dayson’s priority was to get Talia out of there. He reached to hold her.

“Careful, Alpha…”

Dayson paused when he heard Keith’s voice, and he whipped his head that way to see Keith in a sorry state.

Dayson was 99% confident that nothing happened between Talia and Keith, but Dayson was irritated that Talia was releasing her sweet sounds for Keith to hear. And who knew what else she did for Keith to hear and see before Dayson arrived?

Dayson’s hostility swelled at the realization that Keith didn’t wreck his own body. It was Talia’s doing. Why would she do that if Keith didn’t get handsy?

“What did you do to her?” Dayson growled.

One wrong move from Keith, and Dayson was ready to end whatever was left of Keith’s life.

“Nothing, Alpha,” Keith said and quickly lowered his gaze. “There was a Guardian and…”

“I know. Caleb told me.” Dayson snapped.

Talia’s pheromones affected their wolves, and as much as Keith fought against his urges because he was not Talia’s mate, Dayson was giving in to them because Talia was his.

Keith was not sure if he should talk more, so he kept quiet. His hair stood on ends, and chills down his spine told him his life was in danger.

Dayson was visibly hostile. His mate was right there, vulnerable, in heat, and Keith was an unmated male. Even without their history, it was natural for Dayson to see Keith as a threat.

Only the ones challenging Dayson for the right to mate with Talia would dare to be present. Unfortunately, Keith was not in a position to leave. His body was wrecked, and he was sure that his left leg and right arm were fractured.

Dayson suppressed his urge to kill, just enough so that he can talk without growling.

“What happened after that? Why did you bring my mate here instead of to me?”

“My only thought was to get her away from the crowd. I brought her here and… I kept her down… and then her magic exploded, throwing me against this wall. That’s it.” He didn’t dare admit his lecherous thoughts, but he had a feeling Dayson knew. “I mind-linked you to let you know about the situation. I knew I should respond to your summons, but I feared that if I broke my focus, my urges would take over. I held back, Alpha, and I didn’t see anything.”
