Chapter 26: Avalyn's POV I thought he had been angry with me especially after he caught Dawn and me in the garden. But as his fingers moved in and out of me, my brain melted. Nothing else made sense other than the immeasurable pleasure I was feeling from the ministration he was giving to me. If this was punishment. I wanted to be punished like this every day. "Ah!" I cried out as his thrust became sharper and faster. My heavy eyes tried to stay open but I failed. "You want to play games don't you?" I heard him whisper and I blinked hard trying to understand what he meant. I know I heard him say something at one point but I was too deep into the sensation for my brain to register whatever it was he said. I could barely keep my eyes open —how could my brain work? He pulled out his fingers from within me and brought them to his mouth. An electric shock passed through my body as I watched him suck his fingers, which were dripping with my juice. My core was still throbbing despite t
Chapter 27: Talon's POV For the last couple of days, I avoided Avalyn. I shouldn't have gone to her that evening. I was troubled and not in the right state of mind. I should have waited for Willow and spoken to her. That was the right thing to do. I felt ashamed of myself. I couldn't face either of them. Not Willow and not Avalyn who was the victim in all these. I tried to focus more on running the kingdom. The rogues had started resurfacing and this time the trouble they caused was even more than the first time. It felt like they had gone to reschedule and replan their attacks to be more effective and productive. As I sat on the throne listening to the council members discuss the matter, my mind took me back to Elizabeth. She was still in the dungeon. The crazy woman! She brought all of this stress to my mind and I was going to keep her there till I had my child —somehow! "My King, the neighboring land got attacked last night. My king, they are moving with so much force, we ha
Chapter 28: Talon's POV "How far gone is she?" I asked as I returned to sit on the bed with her. "Two weeks, my King," Sara said with a smile on her face. A warmth filled my stomach and turned to look at Avalyn. I caught her staring and she quickly averted her eyes away from me. I raised her chin with my fingers. "Why are you hiding your face from me?" I whispered. Sara cleared her throat grabbing her stethoscope from the table. She walked to Dawn's side and tapped her shoulder. "I need your help with something. Come with me," she said. Dawn at first looked confused before she turned to us and her eyes sparkled with understanding. "Oh yeah, sure!" She said and they both scurried out of the ward leaving Avalyn and me. Avalyn still had her eyes staring at her fingers as she pulled at them. "They are gone, you can look at me now..." I said in a low voice as I tried to raise her head again. As I finally managed to raise them and her green eyes met mine, an arrow pierced my heart.
Chapter 29: Avalyn's POV My eyes fluttered awake and there was a pang of hunger hitting the depth of my stomach. I made to move but felt arms around me, and that was when I remembered that Talon had been with me since I fell asleep. "Are you awake now?" He mumbled looking down at me with those dark eyes that sent butterflies down my stomach. I bit down my kip and tried to sit up but he held me back. "Are you okay?" His concerned voice sent heat to my toes. I quickly nodded as I managed to create a little space between us. "I am fine... Ummm... Just hungry," I whispered. He smiled at me and got down from the bed. Then he offered me his hand, "let's take you back to your room. Your friend will bring the food there." Shyly, I placed my hand on his and he held it tight. He led me out of the ward and together we walked to the castle. As we walked I couldn't help but feel eyes piercing into my skin but each time I turned back around, there was no one there. Talon led us to my room an
Chapter 30: Avalyn's POV "Avalyn!" Dawn's screeching voice pulled me out of sleep and I frowned as my eyelids struggled to open my eyes. "Go away..." I mumbled pulling the covers over my head. "Like I listen to that! Get up!" She yelled and I could hear the laughter in her voice but I wasn't just in the mood. Ever since we had that conversation concerning the baby, I have been unable to take it out of my head. Each time I felt a movement, I was overwhelmed with the thought that the child was trying to kill me. Werewolves could be human, I told myself over and over, yet I got reminded of their ability to turn as well. Sara already told me that werewolves weren't born in their wolf form but I found that hard to believe. I kept having dreams and thoughts that it would transform and have a go at me with its sharp claws. To make it all worse, Talon was no ordinary Wolf. He was a Lycan. It meant he was stronger than the average wolf. His offspring would be equally strong and unpredict
Chapter 31: Avalyn's POV "This is treason, Avalyn. If someone else sees this with you, they will consider it treason! Do you know how long we have all been waiting for an heir to be born to King Talon?" I felt tears begin to build at the corners of my eyes. My hands started shaking and the pills dropped off my hands. Cassie wasn't shouting or yelling, but each word she said sank deep into my soul. I had managed to get Talon to let me leave, what if he had seen this with me, what would have become of me? "It isn't mine... I swear..." I choked as the first of the tears dropped down my cheeks. "I... We— it was on the ground and I thought it was a sort of supplement for pregnant women...." I tried to explain despite the large lump that sat in my throat. If she didn't believe me, she would tell Greg and he would tell Talon, then that would be my end. "I swear I was going to ask Sara about it. I didn't plan on taking it... I— I was going to ask Sara... Please believe me..." Dawn stepp
Chapter 32: Talon's POV Greg and I were buried in the maps of the area when the door burst open and a breathless Dawn stepped in. "Forgive me My King, but I need to speak to the Beta. It is very urgent," she said in one rushed breath. We turned our heads at the same time and as much as I wanted to let him go speak to his sister in private, I had a bitter feeling this had something to do with Avalyn. "Speak out girl. You don't need to go into hiding for your voice to be heard," I growled. Her eyes flashed in panic as she turned to her brother for help. But he gave one look at me and he knew I was going to change my mind. He nodded at her and she stepped forward. "My king, we found a pack of medication at the guard's quarters that terminates—" she paused and looked up at her brother before swallowing the lump in her throat. "It terminates pregnancies." My brows furrowed at the term pregnancy and I straightened up at once. "Where is Avalyn?" I growled as my fist folded on their ow
Chapter 33: Talon's POV I left the door open and returned to the room to put some clothes on. My frown permanently sat on my face as I fought with the pants and finally the shirt that followed. "Alpha Trevor and Montgomery are here?" Willow asked and I grunted a reply. Suddenly I felt her soft hands on my back and I felt my inside soften at her action. I turned to her and she cupped my face between her hands. "Talon, you know we need them for the war against the rogues. Play nice," she said and placed a soft kiss on my lips. "I know Montgomery is going to try his best to get on your nerves, the boy enjoys it. Please just try to ignore him," she added. I pulled her face closer and kissed her deeply. "I'll do anything for you my love," I whispered as I kissed her again. She chuckled against my kiss before pushing me away. "Our guests are waiting." I groaned against her lips and reluctantly pulled away from her. I moved to the door and found Greg waiting with a smirk on his face.
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
