“To enable us to proceed to the dining room collectively. Did you wish to dine alone? Talia posed a question, although Jason was taken aback by her reply. Did she desire to dine with him? She declined to eat in his absence.
Upon marrying Opora, she always dined prior to him. She never awaited Jason’s tardiness for supper. He never requested her to wait, despite his aversion of dining alone. She frequently dined with her friends. Consequently, he would be compelled to dine alone, even on days he intended to return early enough to share a meal.
Typically, Lucas would accompany him; however, Opora’s ignorance of Jason and Lamba’s yearning adversely affected their connection.
She was unaware that he had ceased dining due to her negligence during the late hours. Jason was troubled by his recollections of that time, although Talia’s inquisitive gaze pulled him from his contemplation.
“Do not await my return henceforth,” he commanded while proceeding back to the toilet. His visage was devoid of expression.
Talia responded, “I shall await your arrival.”
“I instructed you not to,” he retorted acrimoniously, closing the restroom door forcefully. He could not tolerate another woman waiting for him indefinitely, only to vanish once he grew accustomed to her presence. It was preferable to refrain from initiating anything. He swiftly took a cold shower to expel all irrational notions.
Talia was absent upon his exit from the washroom. Did she comply with his directive and depart? Lamba was sorrowful over her leaving, while Jason opted to don his trousers. He understood that all females were identical.
She had also departed for dinner. As Jason donned his clothing, he discerned specific sounds. What was that? He surveyed his surroundings, only to discover his alone.
Was there a rodent present in this location? He relocated to the right side of the closet, where the sound persisted. He gazed downward to find the young she-wolf engaged in an activity. Is that the reason her perfume remains so potent in this space? She was kneeling on the ground, searching through her possessions for an item.
“What precisely are you undertaking here?” Jason asked. Talia shifted her focus to his striking visage, which had become even more alluring post-shower. She blinked at him but remained stationary. Her hand gently clasped Jason’s. What was she engaged in? The Alpha was initially bewildered, but then observed her tending to the fresh laceration on his finger, incurred during his haste. She had observed his cut prior to his entrance into the washroom.
“Avoid exposing this finger to moisture for several hours,” she advised while completing the bandaging, gazing into his green eyes.
Had she remained in the room the entire time? Had she perpetually sought a bandage? She sensed a tremor coursing through his warm skin while his hand remained on hers.
“What are the plans for dinner?” He enquired while their eyes stayed fixed on one another. Had she awaited his arrival?
“Let us proceed together,” she proposed, gently releasing his hand. Jason grasped her hand as he assisted her to stand. Talia was astonished and maintained her hold on his shirt.
“I instructed you not to await my arrival,” he emitted a subdued snarl.
“Indeed, but you did not hear my response,” Talia stated composedly. Jason stayed silent as he simply observed the stubborn woman. Her answer resided in her gaze.
Greetings! You did not eat in my absence, did you? Leo abruptly seated himself next to Jessica, seizing her meal from her plate just as she was about to take a piece.
David positioned himself adjacent to Lena and remarked, “I am quite famished.” He had omitted lunch.
What is the reason for your exhaustion today? She asked anxiously while offering him a glass of water. She disapproved of his excessive work ethic, although she noted that he had sequestered himself in his office, labouring diligently. This occurred solely when the Alpha delegated a crucial task to him, however he had not informed her of it.
“I am fine, dear,” he reassured her quickly, drawing her into a kiss before she could respond. David consistently employed his relatives on his friend whenever she interrogated him. Lena neglected her lunch and reciprocated David’s kisses, intensifying the atmosphere. Talia and Jason observed the group as they entered the dining area.
Talia! Jessica exuberantly gestured with her hand. All eyes were directed towards their Alpha and Luna as they assumed their seats. The Gamma and Beta spouses were astonished to witness their Alpha with the Luna. Did he genuinely attend dinner with another individual? Years later, it transpired!
“Why did you arrive for dinner so late, Talia?” Lena questioned the frequency of her dinner invitations.
She requested that they not await her arrival; however, they wished to savour dinner with their Luna, but the Alpha had arrived suddenly.
“I was…”
“Is it not evident, Lena?” Before she could articulate a response, Lucas’s remarks reverberated throughout the dining room.
“What is your meaning, Alpha?” She enquired, perplexed. Lucas seated himself next Jason, gazing into his probing eyes. What did he specifically intend? Lucas inhaled deeply while he noted the inquisitive stares of everyone, seeking an explanation for Talia’s tardiness.
My brother persists till he has completed two rounds.Lucas whispered and shouted. All focus was directed on Talia, who had become crimson with embarrassment. What were they contemplating? Why were they exclusively focused on her? No one had the audacity to gaze onto Alpha.
“You scoundrel!” Jason gritted his teeth as he berated his brother for revealing his personal information to strangers. Lucas attempted to escape prior to Jason’s assault, but there was no exit available this evening. Jason had resolved to assault him.
Leo and David accompanied them as well. Talia was astonished to observe their immature conduct. They had been quarrelling like juveniles! Their disputes had relocated beyond the pack house, yet remained audible to all.
