MARRIED TO THE ALPHA - Season 6 Episode 6

“Teach me to block stuff.”, Talia demanded and when he cocked an eyebrow at her, Talia quickly explained, “I have the mind-link with the Midnight Guardians pack, and Liseli is helping me keep it closed. I would like to use it, but I don’t want to share thoughts that are not for sharing, so I need you to teach me.”

“Midnight Guardians…”, Damon grumbled. “Forget about them. Once we do the ceremony of you becoming Luna of our pack, your bond with that wretched pack will be broken, and you will get the mind-link with the members of the Dark Howlers pack.”

Talia wanted to say it was not that simple. As much as she was not interested in leading a pack, the Midnight Guardians pack members were like her children now and she felt responsible for them. But on the other side, there was Damon. Will she need to choose?

Talia heard stories about how pack members can pledge loyalty to only one Alpha or Alpha-Luna pair, but in the case of a pair, the hierarchy of Alpha being at the top was firm.

Can one Alpha have mind-links with more than one pack?

But this was not the time for discussing mind-links and packs. They were naked, his cock was inside her, and he could hear her thoughts! Or could he? The fact that Damon didn’t react when Talia thought of herself as the Alpha of the Midnight Guardians pack, told her that Damon can’t hear everything that was on her mind, and she realized that the Devil was teasing her again! She decided to feign ignorance, in order to determine the truth.

“That’s not the point.”, Talia said. “Even within our pack, I need to learn how to keep some things private. Or do you want everyone to know my dirty thoughts? And what if I expose something that’s top-secret?”

Damon had to agree with this one. It would be inconvenient. He wanted to keep this for later, but her discomfort was tangible, so he explained, “The most important is the intent to communicate. For Alphas, we receive thoughts from the ones who submit to us, so you will need to learn to block the noise. However, your thoughts won’t go to the ones who are weaker than you are, unless you want it to happen. The weaker ones can learn to shield their minds, but that has limited usability as nothing can prevent a more powerful pack member to hear their thoughts. We don’t do it normally because it’s an invasion of privacy, but more than once I ended up overhearing other people’s mind-link conversations accidentally. It happens.”

Talia wanted to make sure, “So, others can’t hear my thoughts unless I want it to happen.”

“Correct.”

Talia thought how that was handy. Why didn’t Axel tell her this simple lesson? But then… maybe this was valid for Damon because Damon was much stronger than Axel.

Talia smiled at Damon foolishly. Her mate is the strongest Alpha! Talia wondered how she stacks against Damon.

“What about us?”

‘Can you hear this?’, Damon’s voice sounded in her mind, and Talia nodded.

A second later, he asked with a normal voice, “How about that?”

Talia shook her head. “There was nothing.”

Damon smirked in satisfaction. “You can hear my thoughts only if I want to share.” A moment later, he admitted the second part, “And it’s the same for me from you.”

Pride swelled within Talia. “Doesn’t that mean we are equals?”

Damon hummed in confirmation. “Equals.” He liked that.

Damon’s eyes widened in shock when graphic images of Damon pounding himself inside Talia from behind flashed in his mind. What was that?

Talia smiled and Damon heard her smug voice in his head, ‘It seems I can share more than just voice. Images work as well.’ Talia remembered how Liseli shared information previously and thought of giving it a try.

Damon gaped at her. ‘Was that you?’ Was she telling him how she wants him to take her? Damn! That was hot! This mind connection will definitely come in handy!

Talia’s arms snaked around his neck, and she pulled herself higher to speak against his lips, “Make love to me, Damon. We have until morning…”

Damon closed the fraction between them and kissed her fervently, eager to fulfill her every need and want, especially if it involved more sex.

While Talia and Damon were indulging in carnal pleasures…

James, Petra, Erik, and Zack returned after their night out in Darkbourne. They didn’t go inside the packhouse but made a circle around it and went to the garden.

James was having the time of his life.

After a day full of fun and games, they had dinner in a restaurant. James could order whatever he wanted, it was noisy, he drank beer while getting the sauce from roasted ribs everywhere, and there was no one to tell him that the future Alpha should mind his image.

Whenever he attended events with Alpha Edward, James needed to follow his father obediently and use his stoic expression to project an image of a firm and dependable Alpha. Alcohol was prohibited for James, but everyone he knew drank as werewolves don’t care about the legal age for drinking that applies to humans.

Well, his father was not present to control him now, and James knew that it was a matter of days before he needed to return to his exhausting routine, so he wanted to make the most of the time he had left here. He thought of this as his early birthday present.

After getting their fill of delicious food, James, Petra, Erik, and Zack headed toward the lake where on the clearing was a bonfire and a lot of teens gathered. Someone brought a guitar and there was music and dancing and James joined them for skinny dipping in the lake. There was plenty of beer to complete the experience of an evening to remember, and even though James was not much of a dancer, he didn’t refuse when some girls invited him to join.

Zack told James how that was normal for an evening during summer, but James never experienced anything like that.

For James, this whole visit to the Dark Howlers pack was like a vacation, the best one ever, and that was why he didn’t object when they went around the packhouse, thinking that his friends have another pleasant surprise for him. Why else would they go to the darkest part of the garden?

Well, James was surprised, or more like shocked when Petra pushed him behind her, and Zack and Erik stood on Petra’s left and right.

“Come out. No need to sneak around.”, Zack said sternly into the darkness.

James’ eyes widened when the bush moved a bit and a dark figure showed herself.

“I am not sneaking.”, a female voice responded.

Petra snorted. “Yeah, right. Why are you following us?”

A set of pearly white teeth was revealed when the female smiled and then she stepped closer, and they could all see a slender woman with chocolate-colored skin wearing a dark-gray t-shirt and shorts. Cornelia.
