Chapter 394 – Hiding One’s Aura (3)

Talia really liked the easy-going teasing of Mindy, so she joined. "Do you want your mate to be tall, short, with a pointy nose…?"

Talia, Kalina, and Maya burst into giggles when Mindy made a face.

"Who wants pointy noses?", Mindy asked. "He should be pointy down there." She was gesturing to her crotch area.

"Pointy note taken!", Maya exclaimed. "What else? Come on. The more specific you are, the better we can serve you."

"You wanted to say that he can serve Mindy.", Kalina chimed in. "A must-have requirement for a mate should be broad, muscular shoulders, so you can hold onto them while he is serving you with his pointy thing…"

And another round of giggles began.

"How big should he be?", Maya asked and gestured with her hands in front of her chest, spreading them slowly and making faces the further she went.

"Keep going.", Mindy said with a sly smile. "Big is good."

Talia, Kalina, Mindy, and Maya were laughing and having a good time and they didn't notice a female approaching them.

Lisa was only three steps away from them when Maya stopped laughing abruptly. Kalina, Mindy, and Talia also looked at the newcomer.

"Lisa?", Maya called, unable to hide her surprise.

Maya knew very well that Lisa had no good thoughts about Kalina or Talia. Wasn't she supposed to clean the dungeon?

Maya was cursing internally while thinking of ways how she will punish those useless Lieutenants. How are they securing that place when they can't keep one female there? Maya strictly told them that Lisa can't leave that place until she is done cleaning, and it was obvious that she can't finish so quickly. What the hell?

Seeing Lisa's sour expression, Maya knew that Lisa will cause a scene.

Lisa narrowed her eyes while examining the faces of four young women, none was laughing anymore and they obviously all looked at Lisa while waiting to see what she will do.

With her werewolf sight, Lisa had no problems identifying four females at this table all the way from the butcher shop. She could see them laughing and chatting without a care in the world. Lisa's legs moved on their own, driven by curiosity and dejection, and she completely forgot about Jules and Ron who told her not to move from there.

As Lisa approached them, she gritted her teeth at the sight of tasty treats on their table, and she heard them chatting about mates. Lisa knew everyone at the table.

One was Kalina, the woman who now got to enjoy Tony's embrace and the title of the future Luna of the Lightclaw pack. Lisa never liked Maya who came to the Dark Howlers pack a few years ago and she was bossy from the start. Lisa thought about how she will retaliate against Maya once she becomes Luna, but that didn't happen. Lisa didn't have many thoughts about Mindy, but how can a wolf-less she-wolf like Talia enjoy with all these high-ranking members when Lisa was stuck in a freaking dungeon?

"What is this? Goodbye for the abandoned one?", Lisa asked while eyeing Talia.

Mindy's eyebrows came together in a frown. "Who is abandoned?" Mindy didn't know who Lisa was, but she couldn't imagine that any she-wolf from the Dark Howlers pack would cause a scene in Maya's presence.

Lisa lifted her nose. "Now that Damon is about to make Marcy his Luna, the third wheel needs to leave." She glanced at Kalina. "Are you enjoying your place by Tony's side?"

Kalina heard Maya calling Lisa by her name, but Kalina hoped that it was some other Lisa and not Tony's ex. However, just by the poison in Lisa's voice, Kalina confirmed Lisa's identity.

Maya stood up in slow motion and faced Lisa, blocking Lisa's view of the table with her body.

"You have no idea what you are talking about, Lisa. I suggest you apologize and leave."

"Apologize to whom?", Lisa asked Maya. "To the one who took my man? Or to Miss Talia?"

Lisa ignored Kalina's hostility and craned her neck to see Talia behind Maya. "Are you hiding behind Maya, since Damon won't lift a finger for you? Are you drowning your sorrows in sweets because Damon is busy with Marcy?"

Maya waved her arms in panic while considering if she should knock Lisa out here in the middle of the day in front of witnesses. Maya feared that Lisa will start blabbering how Talia came from the Red Moon pack, or that she will continue insulting Talia, or maybe switch to Kalina.

But before Maya could decide, Lisa was still talking to Talia.

"I told you that this will happen. Didn't I? I told you that Damon will find his Luna and it will be either his mate or a she-wolf worthy of being his Luna, and you are neither." Lisa glanced at Mindy and Kalina. "Are you hoping that they will find you another guy to stick to? Are you…? Ugh…" Lisa groaned and her whole body bent at an unusual angle.

Maya gritted her teeth while trying to keep standing, but she knew that the vicious aura assaulting her from the back was Talia's. Lisa crossed the line… Talia's line.

"What did you say?", Talia asked Lisa through her teeth.

Maya scuttled to her right and plopped on her chair, allowing Talia to have a clear view of Lisa.

With her peripheral vision, Maya saw Jules and Ron rushing toward them, but when they came into the reach of Talia's aura, they stopped abruptly, as if they hit an invisible wall. Maya also saw that patrons at the neighboring tables were frozen in shock, unable to move.

Talia was completely focused on Lisa, and she was angry. How dares Lisa say how Damon's hands were busy with Marcy?

Talia didn't notice the commotion she caused. Even her friends, Kalina and Mindy, had their heads lowered, and Lisa who took the brunt of Talia's anger, was down on her knees and hands.

"Repeat that!", Talia snapped.

Lisa cried weakly. She felt like her body was crushed from all sides and there was a metallic taste in her mouth.

Talia saw red. She didn't care that Lisa was Stephanie's daughter. The only thing she saw was a vicious woman who thought that she had the right to hurt others just because she was hurting.

"Kitten…", Talia heard Damon's voice sounding close to her ear. He was breathy, and it was obvious he was running.

When Stephanie told Damon that Talia went to Darkbourne, he finished a few important things, and then went after Talia. He wanted to let her have fun with her friends, he really did, but he was also nervous about her safety, so he came to check on her. His plan was to see her from afar and not come close, but when he saw Lisa there, Damon rushed toward Talia, and not a minute too soon.

Damon's arms wrapped around Talia, and she leaned on him.

"Let me handle her.", he said.

Talia turned to look at Damon. "I thought you did. She is back."
