Chapter 34: Avalyn's POV "Would you prefer I bring the food or we go get it ourselves?" Dawn asked and I shrugged my shoulders. I saw the vehicles that had trooped into the castle earlier as we made our way from the clinic. Talon had mentioned that he was expecting some guests and he wanted me to stay away from them. I didn't want to do something that would put me in a difficult position. But as I looked at Dawn's face, I could tell she wanted to leave the room. "Umm... I don't know Dawn. Do you think it will be right for me to move around with the guests in the castle?" I asked in a timid voice. Dawn pouted her lips and glared at me. "Do you always have to remind me to be a good girl?" She groaned as she stumped her feet on the carpeted floor of the room. I smiled at her antics and offered her an apologetic smile. "Fine. You win this round but after the meal, we will head out to the garden. It is only for royals and you and I, of course. I am certain the guests won't be there s
Chapter 35: Avalyn's POV The garden became silent and I could pick out the sound of everyone's breathing as they all watched Talon's reaction. The queen suddenly cleared her throat, breaking the impending silence as she held Talon's arm. "What my King means is that Avalyn here is only but a maid. Alpha Trevor wouldn't want his heir to get mated with a common maid, will he?" she said glaring at me and each word that left her lips felt like whiplashes against my heart. "My father doesn't incriminate positions and besides, I really like her. Can she join us for the banquet later tonight?" Monty asked as his hold on me grew tighter. I could feel the heat of Talon's gaze upon our intertwined hands and the queen's cold glare fighting over who got to vaporize me first. Trevor let out a sigh as a smile covered his face. "My king, with all due respect. Since the girl is an ordinary maid, let her spend some time with Monty at the banquet. It will mean a lot to me," the man said and my heart
Chapter 36: Talon's POV My wolf perked up and started flipping and I knew who had stepped into the banquet hall before I even picked up her scent. My eyes finally zeroed in on her as she walked to the table with Sara by her side. The dress she wore was a terrible choice. It hugged her in the right places, leaving nothing to the imagination. Her cleavage peaked at the top of the chest and all I wanted to do was tear that slit open and fuck her till she forgot her name. My cork throbbed painfully in my pants as I watched her get closer to the table. From the corners of my eyes, I could see Monty getting up and before I could stop myself, I got up and moved toward them. "My king," Sara said with a bow and Avalyn whispered the same with her head lowered. I stretched out my hand to her and her beautiful green eyes flashed up at me as if the action was wrong. Heck, it was wrong, but at that moment, I didn't give a fuck what people thought. Avalyn was mine and the whole Kingdom could s
Chapter 37: Avalyn's POV My body shivered under his kisses as I leaned into him, craving for more. At the table earlier, I was so embarrassed that I felt like a small rat between them but right now, as Talon kissed me so obsessively, I couldn't help but yearn for him. It was wrong because he belonged to another but my heart was beating for him. When Monty had asked me if I had found my mate, I lied when I told him that I didn't. Because I did. I have fallen in love with the King of Werewolves and no matter how much I tried to forget about him, I couldn't bring myself to do it. He was mated to another which meant he loved another but I couldn't stop my heart from beating for him. I couldn't stop my core from aching for him. “No one else has the right to touch you here...” He hissed as his rough palms tore open the top of my dress. "You don't know how much I wanted to do this..." His voice was so hoarse, my core was already dripping before he even started. "Hmm," I moaned as he s
Chapter 38: Talon's POV As I returned to my room that morning, my body felt renewed. My muscles clenched as my brain felt better than it did in the last couple of days. Avalyn had a way of touching my very soul and bringing me that extra effect I didn't even know I was missing. I got to my room and pushed the door gently open, not wanting to wake Willow. "Where did you sleep last night?" Her voice welcomed me the moment I stepped foot inside. I cringed inwardly as I banked on meeting her asleep. I didn't tell her where I was going when I left the table at the banquet last night. I was overwhelmed by my desire and all I wanted then was Avalyn. But as I stood in the room with her, guilt washed over me. Just a few days ago, I had asked her to forgive me and I promised to cherish her always —I still cherished her, I just couldn't push away Avalyn either. Willow stood at the center of the room with a face so straight, I couldn't tell if she was angry with me or not. I summon up co
Chapter 39: Avalyn's POV My hand suddenly felt heavy as I slowly dropped it. He wasn't happy to see me. Did something happen? But we were fine last night. What could have gotten into him? Sadness covered my face and my heart felt like it was drowning. Last night was one of the best nights of my life. I thought things were going to be better between us but the look he gave me... Threw every hope I had down the drain. 'Get a hold of yourself Avalyn! He belongs to someone else!' my subconscious reminded me. "Earth to Avalyn! Earth to Avalyn!" Dawn called, waving a hand in front of me. "Huh?" I said turning back to her. "You naughty girl, you are falling for the king aren't you?" She asked and my cheeks turned pink at once. "No!" I cried out rushing to shut her lips with my hands. Who knew who was around us? "I am not! How can I be?" I retorted and she broke into laughter. "Well, I am sure you will confess all your naughty deeds very soon! Come on, let's go get something to eat,
Chapter 40: Avalyn's POV I stopped in my tracks wondering what happened to the light. Since I have been living in the castle, this was the first time that a power surge would happen. Everywhere was pitched black. I could barely see the jug of water in my hand. I knew my way back even with the lights off but it was best I waited for the light to turn back on. It couldn't take too long. I tried to count out the seconds as I waited for the power to return but I got to three hundred and nothing was happening. "Maybe it was a major fault," I whispered to myself. I couldn't keep waiting here. I decided to find my way to my room. I took the first step forward and my feet hit the first riser of the stair. I smiled as I found it. I started taking them one after the other making sure I took my time to calculate before letting my balance shake. Suddenly the air changed around me and the air at the back of my neck stood on edge. I felt someone's presence but it was too dark for me to see a
Chapter 41: Talon's POV "War times are very difficult times, don't you think there is a better way we can handle this problem?" One of the Alphas on the table asked and murmurs rose as some supported him and others didn't. Greg looked at me from across the room and I gave him a grin. There was no point rushing to tell them what we knew. It was better we let them get on with their words. This was an opportunity for me to know exactly who was a coward and who wasn't. "What better way, do you think we have to deal with rogues?" Jared asked the man. He opened his mouth to speak but no words left his lips as he had nothing to say. "We could hold dialogues?" Someone said at the edge of the room. I turned my eyes to see who could say such silly things and I wasn't surprised when Monty got up. "There is nothing a peaceful conversation can not hold or settle..." He started explaining and fools like him nodded their heads in anticipation like he was breathing the right words. I scoffed,
Chapter 100:Violet’s POVAsher took me back to the Forgotten Lands. He showed me photos and videos of my parents. He gave me the family I had been craving for. I had it all except, my heart.I couldn’t help but feel like a piece of me was missing.“Do you think he will be fine by now?” I asked Asher as we sat looking over the setting sun while he held my baby —whom I secretly named Blade, after Axel’s missing sibling.I could feel Asher’s eyes on me, but I tried to keep a straight face. “It’s been two weeks since we left Axel’s lands, but you don’t miss a day without enquiring after him,” Asher pointed out and I felt my cheeks heat up instantly.“No, it’s nothing like that. I am just asking.” I tried to fix my sentence but even I knew that my defenses were only making it worse.Asher kept staring at me with that boyish face he always gave when he caught me, and I knew that lying would be pointless.I let out a sigh and closed my eyes. “I have really tried hating him. Forgetting him.
Chapter 99:Axel’s POVMy heart tore into multiple layers by Asher’s question. My eyes turned red as emotions curled through me. I opened my mouth to speak but words failed me. I turned to Violet, but she had her eyes fixed on her cousin. I wished I had protected our bond so that I could communicate with her at this moment.For the first time in my life, I felt stupid, dumb, and useless. I had no answer in my head to give that could be the right one.On one side, I wanted to tell him to fuck off and that Violet was never a slave here but not even my wicked conscience would let me say that out loud. I had been too cruel to Violet. Being a slave did not begin to define how far below I had downgraded her.On the other end, he was her cousin and probably the only legal family. I had to seek his fucking blessing and not be harsh. Yet I didn’t know how to begin. There was this large lump in my throat that reminded me of my sins and assured me that Violet would never forgive me —not after w
Chapter 98:Violet’s POV“This is even prettier than I remember it!” Skylar screeched as she helped me arrange my clothes in the drawers.“We are going to need baby clothes. The crochet tops you made, wouldn’t be enough. We will have to tell the king—” Hilda started to say but I quickly refused it.“No, Hilda. I don’t want his help.”“But he is your mate. Your husband,” she pointed out, but I shook my head refusing her words. “He isn’t my mate and much more my husband. He is just the man that fathered my baby,” I whispered. My eyes moved to where my baby lay in a beautiful crib. How Scarlett got everything made in such a short time was surprising. She was truly an angel.I was suddenly pulled out of my thoughts as I felt a warm hand rest on my shoulders. I moved my eyes off my child and traced the source of the hand to find it belonged to Hilda.“We all know that Axel did you wrong, but you can’t deny the fact that you love him—”“Before loving him, she had herself to fucking love,”
Chapter 97:Axel’s POVAunt Emily led me back to my room where I had left Violet and the baby —our baby. My heart doubted that Violet would ever forgive me after everything I did to her, but Aunt Emily was optimistic. She held my arm like a little child and as we got to the door, she knocked first before clicking it open.My heart was in my stomach as I held my breath, too scared to breathe as her broken face came into view but to my dismay, the bed was empty —and cleaned. There was no one except Scarlett glaring back at me.One look at her and I knew that she was already aware of the situation. Shame washed over me, and my eyes lowered to the ground.“Scarlett,” Aunt Emily called as she moved towards her. She embraced her and placed a perk on her cheek. “How are you?”“I am fine, Aunt Emily,” she whispered in that gentle voice of hers, but I could feel her eyes on me as she spoke, and I dared not raise mine to meet hers.“Where is Violet, did you meet her here?” Aunt Emily asked her
Chapter 96:Violet’s POVMy lower abdomen was killing me with pain. It kept shooting through me, weakening my legs to the point I could barely feel them anymore.Tears filled my eyes as I thought about what happened. The tears weren’t from the pain, it was from my heart.Even now, I couldn’t hate Axel. I wanted him still and this broke me. How could I enjoy what he did to me? How could I have moaned in between the pain when my little child was just a couple of meters away?What sort of mother was I?I couldn’t tell how long I was curled up on the bed, but it was long enough for me to realize that I had made a mistake birthing the child. I shouldn’t have allowed him to live because now, he was going to suffer for a crime he knew nothing about.Axel was going to hate and punish him constantly because he would see him as a bastard. And me?I would remain a sex slave for the rest of my life while he had his life with his new bride, Scarlett. Was this the kind of life I wanted my baby to h
Chapter 95:Axel’s POVI kept going all through the night, thrusting deep until I became intoxicated by her soft folds. I didn’t stop even when she started bleeding. I didn’t stop when she cried out, begging me to stop; not even when my wolf started clawing at me.This was both revenge and torture for her crimes. She had let someone else touch the body I craved. The same body I was ready to honor in every way possible. I cherished her and gave her everything, but she threw all that away and let some fool touch her.The pain in my heart spread and I felt tears dancing in my eyes. Violet had turned me into a mess. I was a ticking time bomb of chaotic emotions.I couldn’t even tell how I felt or what I wanted. One time, I enjoyed hurting her and the next it tore me apart. The moment she broke my heart and shattered my trust, everything exploded within me.Violet made a fool out of me. She stole my heart and placed me in a position where my love for her could not be erased. My body coul
Chapter 94:Axel’s POVThe darkness and anger in my soul shifted the second the news about Violet got to me. I didn’t even care about Aunt Emily. I knew she could handle herself and besides, she was still at loggerheads with me, and seeing her would only intensify my anger.But Violet, I could finally vent out my anger on her tight little pussy.“Good,” I declared getting to my feet. “Prepare her and bring her to my chambers tonight. She has been off duties for too long.”“Axel, have you lost your mind?” Greg yelled the second the words left my lips.My claws pushed out of my fingers, and I pointed them at him, baring my teeth as I breathed through my mouth with a rage that could match a hundred people.“I do not want to hear a word from you, Greg. You have done enough damage for one day and for your sake I hope Scarlett doesn’t get hurt by your decisions because if she does, I swear on my father’s name, I will forget the relationship we share, and I will end your life!” I roared befo
Chapter 93:Axel’s POVNathan was just like his father. A very annoying specie of wolf that enjoyed pissing me off more than they valued their lives. I told him to ignore Violet’s fake cries, but he chose to ignore me instead.“Fuck!” I cursed as I matched down to my office with a frown on my face.I would deal with him later, right now, I would have to solve whatever issues Asher has brought with him.I was making a bend to my office when Greg’s voice stopped me, “Where are you going? Asher is over here,” he said, and I changed direction to that of the throne room.When I got there, Asher was already seated with two of his men by his side. There was a box on the table in front of him and as soon as I stepped in, he snapped his hand to the man standing by his right and the latter quickly rushed to open the box.“King Axela, I present to you… Willow’s head,” he said with a wide grin on his face.The turbulent emotions I was feeling due to Violet got triggered by the nickname he had ref
Chapter 92:Violet’s POVThe pain I felt was great but the fear of losing my child as the pain shot through my body was greater as it moved like a boiling lava through my brain, causing my entire system to become on edge.“No… no, not my baby.” I sang like a mantra as my trembling hands reached to check if my baby bump was still intact.Tears pooled in my eyes as my fingers retracted at the pain that splashed through me at the action. My head started shaking and I resumed my mantra as I realized that something was wrong with my baby.My trembling hands went to the ground, and I tried to pull myself off the ground, but a sharp pain filled me so deep, I couldn’t help it. I tried to swallow the scream, but I couldn’t.“Argh!” I cried out. “I can’t feel my baby…” Tears spilled down my cheeks and my vision became blurry as I struggled through the pain.Then I felt it. The first contraction.I was only five months gone; I couldn’t be having contractions. “No… this can’t happen now. Help… so
