Talia glanced around, how much her current position allowed, and she observed the hotel room. It was nice and clean.

She spotted a second bed which added to the confusion of why she was sharing a bed with Drake.

What about the other two people?

She concluded that this was not the Dark Howlers pack. Did they make a stop along the way?

Maybe this is the part where she finds out how Drake tricked her, and he is about to sell her kidneys and liver, and then discard her in the forest for beasts to e

  • 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

  • The Alpha’s Chosen    C231 - Drake's Way Of Finding Answers

    "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

  • The Alpha’s Chosen    C230 - Meeting The Parents

    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

  • The Alpha’s Chosen    C229 - Carried Through The Forest

    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

  • The Alpha’s Chosen    C228 - Talia's Wolf

    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'

  • The Alpha’s Chosen    C227 - Folder With Evidence

    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

    Shortly before Drake stepped into the kitchen…Drake exited his study after finishing the last phone call with Alphas.A list of four names was waiting on his desk and just as Caden said, they were upset that Drake left the meeting without explanation.Four phone calls didn't take long because Drak

    Drake woke up, pleased to see that Talia was sleeping soundly with her head on his shoulder.He placed a gentle kiss on her forehead and then he observed her sleeping form. No matter from which angle Drake looked at Talia, she was perfect. Her scent, her warmth, the way her palm rested on his bare

  • The Alpha’s Chosen    C118 - Late-night Snack On The Balcony

    On the balcony off Drake's bedroom, there was one bistro table and one chaise that was used last time more than a year ago. Luckily, those few Omegas that are allowed on the third floor for cleaning purposes were doing their job well and everything looked like new.Drake didn't entertain people on

    Talia was apprehensive about getting into Darkbourne while holding hands with Drake, but quickly she realized that it was not a big deal.The streets on the outskirts of Darkbourne were dimly lit, so no one paid attention to one hand-holding couple.When they emerged to the streets where the festiv
