Chapter 68: Avalyn's POV My eyes fluttered open and the first thing that came to my mind was the numb pain in my head. My vision went blurry and I squeezed it shut again "You better start praying to all the fucking gods you serve because I am going to fucking kill you all if anything happens to her!" I heard Emily's sharp voice in the room."Calm down Emily, no one is trying to hurt her. Only the boss knows what he wants with her," Another voice retorted and I realized that there were other people in the room with us."For your own good, we advise that you keep quiet or else—""Or else what?" Emily interrupted the third speaker. "Or else what?! You think I am scared of you?!"Her voice was on the edge of breaking and knowing Emily, meant that she wasn't about to cry, she was about to go brutal on them.My eyes fluttered open and I turned my eyes in the direction of the voice. These people were barbarians. They could hurt her without a second thought. I had to stop her before everyth
Chapter 69: Talon's POV"Talon, the team came back empty-handed," Greg said as he stood by the throne room entrance where I was standing with Jared.My anger was already building and his response only intensified it."Then let them go back again until they have something!" I yelled at the top of my lungs."I want every soldier out there until you find a fucking sign, damn it!" I roared, shaking the room.Greg brought his head up only slightly and turned to leave."Shit!" I cursed, kicking the table in front of me. I started pacing.Where could they be? Where could have Desmond kept them? What did he want in return?If he wanted them dead, he would have done that by now. He would have sent me their heads a long time ago, but this meant, he wanted something else —or he wanted me to watch when he killed them."Talon, please calm down. Do not lose faith. We will find them—" Jared started to say but I spurned suddenly in his direction and he swallowed his tongue at once."How? We have been
Chapter 70: Avalyn's POV "We can't stay here Ava. We can't fucking stay here!" Emily hissed for the umpteenth time.She moved to the small window beside the bed and tested the strength of the bars."If I can break this, I can jump down and get help—"I let out a loud sigh that interrupted her suicidal ideas. "Emily you will die. Have you seen how far up we are?" I asked her from my corner of the bed.She shook her head and looked out again. "Listen, you don't fucking understand Ava! Desmond is a monster. He is going to kill us and the goddess knows I will break all the bones in my body first before I let him touch you or the baby in your womb!"I looked down at my belly and rubbed it. "I don't know Emily... I don't feel pregnant... What if it's a lie?"She turned to look at me from the window. Her shoulders slumped and she came to sit with me. "You look pale Ava. You threw up three times ever since you woke up. Your pulse is faster, I think they are right," she whispered.Tears dance
Chapter 71: Talon's POV "What? Willow did this?" Greg asked, stunned.I stepped into the room, ignoring his question. I checked the boy's pulse, luckily it was still beating faintly."He is still alive. Get Sara here now!" I yelled."I should also send soldiers to arrest Willow. If you think she is—" Greg started to say but I stopped him."No need for that, she is not here anymore." Willow was a smart woman. She knew that I have been suspecting her for a while now."O—okay," Greg stuttered before running off to get Sara.After the incident at the hill, I knew there was only one woman who could have told the rogues my location but I refused to believe the voice in my head.I trusted our mate bond. She couldn't have ordered them to kill me. But using the sword I gave to her to kill the only clue we had to find Avalyn was the last of it. She wasn't the Willow I knew.She was someone else.My heart was bleeding. I didn't expect this kind of betrayal. I trusted her too much and she went
Chapter 72: Avalyn's POV (Epilogue)"Avalyn!" Dawn yelled for the umpteenth time and a smile filled my face."You will wake the baby and pull down the castle one of these days," I said as I emerged from the bathroom."I am going to cut out her fucking tongue if Axel wakes up," Emily whispered as she bounced the sleeping child in her arms.Dawn giggled and moved to her. "Come on, let me hold him. You have been carrying him all day, please let me hold him!""You can wait till he fucking wakes up again." Emily placed Axel gently in his cradle and kissed his cheeks before coming to glare at a pouting Dawn."Emily you are being mean!" She retorted."I am his fucking aunt. I can't be mean, I am doing the right thing, now come on let's help Avalyn pick a dress, so she can leave, Talon must be so frustrated," she said and they both came to join me by the closet.I laughed, happiness filling my stomach at how everything turned out. When Desmond kidnapped Emily and me, I was so scared, I didn'
Chapter 1: PrologueTalon and Avalyn thought they could stay happily ever after but the gods had a different plan.Twelve years after the birth of their children, war suddenly broke out between the humans and the werewolves.Talon's family broke apart. Each member dispersed to a corner of the earth unknown to the others.An enemy stronger than they had ever anticipated was at play.The humans captured Avalyn through trickery and overthrew the Lycans. Talon went missing.Axel, their first son, found himself captive in the hands of the humans, and his siblings, Blade and Scarlet were sold to an unknown land, one as a child prostitute and the other as a maid.Their Lycan wolf was inhibited by drugs. They were left powerless with no hope of survival.In a small town governed by humans, Axel worked tirelessly at the young age of twelve. With his parents not there to save him, the young boy struggled to survive."How dare you leave the pen open?" His master screamed, launching a long twist
Chapter 2: Axel's POVThe shuffling of boots at the door caused me to turn my attention to it. A few seconds later, it burst open and Greg stepped in with a number of my guards behind him.His face was pinched into a tight frown as he came to stand in front of me. The white lines of hair on his head weren't just a sign of the number of years he had fought but they signified the people he lost too.From the energy curling out of him, I could already tell the outcome of the search."Leave us," I said to the other guards.The sound of their fist hitting their chest in response, echoed in the room before their boots shuffled out one more time."There is still no news on their whereabouts Axel," Greg said as soon as the guards left us.Greg was my father's best friend and the only one I had close to a family. He was my adviser and his son, Nathan, my beta."We have been searching for fifteen fucking years, Greg! Why haven't we gotten a lead yet?!" I threw a punch at the table and moved to
Chapter 3: Violet's POV As the lady Aaliyah lined us up for the new patron to come to take his pick, my heart curled within itself.I didn't want to be sold. I wished I could hide away in a corner till the torture was over.The world had turned upside down.The Lycans took back power and my parents —humans were overthrown. We were reduced to an even worse fate than before.Even at a young age, I hated the way my parents treated the werewolves they captured. As I grew older I realised that humans were just selfish.We had a perfect agreement before the revolution. During the times of King Talon and his beautiful Queen. There was peace and harmony until humans thought they could take it all.We did it all, but it was only for a limited time. The lycans rose again and we were thrown even deeper than our ancestors.My parents were captured by the new Lycan King and I was here as a product on display but I couldn't complain.The owner of the enterprise was slightly better than a few I hav
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
