Drake's lips stretched into a big smile. There was only one explanation for a hickey that disappeared mysteriously. "Your wolf healed it."

"You think so?", Talia asked nervously.

"I know so. Without your wolf, it would take days for that hickey to completely disappear, and your neck is clean. I think she will wake up soon." Drake wrapped Talia in his arms and pulled her to lean on him.

He really wanted her wolf to awaken as soon as possible. Right now, would be perfect. With Talia's wolf presen

  • The Alpha’s Chosen    C232 - Underwater Thoughts

    Drake swam underwater with the goal to put some distance from himself and the strong currents of the waterfall.It's been a while since he did a stunt like this one, and he found it cathartic.Was there a chance for him to die by jumping into this waterfall? Probably not.At most, he would get badly hurt.Why did he take that risk? Because the freefall mixed with the uncertainty of what's hiding below the mist, and it was exhilarating.For a control freak like Drake, jumping into the unknown was stressful and addicting at the same time, and it rewarded him with an immense sense of accomplishment when he emerged out of it unscathed, making him feel like he gambled with death and came out victorious.Just like every time before, the rush of adrenaline purged all insignificant things from his mind. In this case, as he was falling down, there was only one thing on his mind. Talia.Drake was painfully aware that his past was coming back to bite him with interest.In his defense, at that t

    "Can I join you?"Drake jolted at the sound of Talia's voice even though he knew she was approaching him. Drake was staring at the imaginary spot on the horizon, and the deafening sound of the waterfall below him overpowered any other noise, but he was aware of Talia's presence."Absolutely.", he responded while scooting to the side to make space for Talia on the same rock.Talia sat next to Drake, and her mouth was slightly open as she took in the panorama. The cliff was higher than she initially thought.There was forest as far as the eyes can reach, and hills and mountains in the distance, and she could see the irregular formation of rooftops etched into the forest. Based on the arrangement of buildings, she knew that the town below them was Darkbourne. The river continued calmly after the waterfall and disappeared among the trees, but Talia knew that was the same body of water that formed the lake Talia recognized as the one where Keith took her during the Summer Solstice festival

    Talia bit the inside of her cheek while wondering if that's worth it. Surely, her peace of mind is insignificant when compared with a war between packs. People will get hurt! And there is no guarantee she will be happy.But her wolf said that Drake needs to deal with Marcy and that Talia shouldn't let him mark her until that happens. If Talia forgives Drake before he redeems himself, her wolf will go ballistic. Talia could feel the beasts' rage and she knew that her wolf was not joking. Talia was reconsidering her idea for Drake to confront Marcy when she noticed that his eyes were unfocused. He was mind-linking someone."Did something happen?", she asked."No.", Drake responded. "We are entering a restricted area, so I was informing patrol to stay away.""Restricted area?""You will see in a minute.", Drake responded mysteriously and increased his pace.Talia observed dense foliage that changed as Drake moved and she noticed that there was an incline; and even though there was no pa

    Talia's heart ached as she was unable to erase from her mind graphic images and sounds of Drake and Marcy, and the floodgates of her insecurities collapsed."I am trying to understand you, Drake. I really am. But you need to understand me also. How would you feel if that was a video of me and some other guy touching me while I am saying how my body belongs to him and I want him to…?", Talia couldn't finish. "I need space. This is suffocating. Let me go, Drake.""Ask me for anything, except for that."In one swift move, Drake turned Talia to face him, and his hug was tighter than before."I'm never going to let go of you, kitten, but if you are set on leaving, I can't stop you. The only thing I will ask you is to take my heart with you because it's yours. Everything I have and everything I am belongs to you.", he spoke into her hair, just above her ear. "There is no point in overthinking this. Both of us know that there is only you and no one else. I know you are angry, scared, and dis

    Drake swallowed hard at the hostility that was tangible. Surely, this must be a misunderstanding. Why would Talia's wolf be aggressive toward him?Drake reminded himself to leave a good first impression. "Hello. My name is Drake Blake. I am the Alpha of the Dark Howlers pack. As you probably know already, Talia is my mate. I was looking forward to you waking…""Save it for someone who cares!", Talia's wolf cut him off angrily. "You are a stinky boy, not worthy to be her mate."Drake was flabbergasted. This definitely confirmed that the hostility was real.He was not sure what's going on, but his instincts told him that if he retaliates, it won't end well."I know. No one is worthy of Talia.""You are less worthy than the others. Promiscuous bastard."Anxiety swelled inside Drake. He could clearly feel the loathing directed his way. "Unfortunately, I can't do anything about my past. However, since Talia came to this packhouse, I didn't touch any other woman." This was the truth.Talia'

    Talia was silent, so Maya continued her explanation."Normally a council of Elders would handle most of the pack management. And in the pack as large as this one, Alpha would have his Beta and Gamma and other people who are in charge of specific matters, while Luna will have her helpers. As the future Luna, you should surround yourself with people you trust because they will know not only about the pack but about you as well. In case you are not available, someone will act in your place. It will be better if that is a person you picked than someone random who is power-hungry and potentially dangerous to you, Alpha, and the pack."Talia thought how that made sense. Since she started working by Drake's side, Talia got to know some details about other packs, and she knew that many Alphas and Lunas have dozens of people who are close to them and help with managing their packs.She personally saw how in the Red Moon pack, Alpha Edward had many people dealing with various aspects of the pac

    "So, now that you are at the Dark Howlers pack, what are you doing?", Mindy asked Talia."I'm helping in the kitchen."Mindy cocked an eyebrow. "Alpha Drake put you to work right away?""No, no.", Talia quickly said. "I asked to work in the kitchen because I wanted to learn how to cook. Besides, si

    When Drake's tournament-closing speech was over, people started leaving the sports fields and making way toward the town square where the next festivities will be held. Some people went into stores and restaurants that were still open and accepting customers.Talia was happy that she got a bag to k

    Talia moved to the center of the playing field gingerly while trying to ignore the fact that there are hundreds (or maybe thousands!) of people staring at her.Her heart was pounding so hard that she pressed her lips into a line firmly, out of fear that her heart might escape through that cavity if

    Drake and Caden returned to the VIP lounge and saw that the mess was cleaned up and a new table was in place with snacks and drinks like nothing happened.Their talk didn't solve anything, but the fact that Drake shared his (not) secret with Caden (and in extension with Maya also) that Talia is his
