Chapter 50: Talon's POV The soft music in the hall suddenly started hitting differently and the hair at the back of my neck stood as I felt her presence. Her scent filled my nose and my eyes remained fixed on the door. She was here. Greg and his mate stepped in first. They were followed by Emily who as usual, wore casual clothes and her crown. I didn't even get angry, Avalyn's scent in the air made everything seem normal. Since they made her comfortable, there was truly nothing wrong with it. "What a disgrace!" I heard Willow scoff beside me and my heart squeezed. Didn't wise people say that when you loved someone, you accepted everything about them? When would Willow accept my only sister? I know Emily was a handful but she was only that way to people who tried to take control of her. Emily was a free-spirited soul. She liked to fly around and make statements for herself and not have her way defined for her. I hoped someday, the goddess would be able to decide for me just l
Chapter 51: Avalyn's POV We spoke for hours into the night before Talon took me to my room. He helped me out of my dress and watched as I wore my night dress. He took off his slacks as well and we lay on the bed, holding each other. His strong body was warm against mine and it felt safe. "Go to sleep, Avalyn," He whispered and I nodded but tried as I could, but sleep failed to come. I just laid still and enjoyed the rhythm of his breathing against my skin. I could get used to sharing the bed with him for as long as I lived. The night was peaceful and I feared if I closed my eyes, morning would come faster and he would leave me. I wanted him to stay longer. I wanted the night to go on longer, but who was I kidding? I couldn't stay awake for too long. I woke up to his cock pushing against my ass in the early hours of the morning. I stirred, adjusting my ass against it. "Fuck!" Talon hissed into my ear. "I am sorry I woke you but if you keep moving like that, I wouldn't be able t
Chapter 52: Avalyn's POV I felt over the moon at the news. Talon squeezed my hands tighter and Emily was grinning from ear to ear. "I will just take a screenshot and print it out, as your first scan. I am sure in the next one, he would have developed into a bigger pup," Sara announced. Everyone in the room had all sorts of smiles covering their faces and it brought me joy to know that I brought that happiness to them. "Now, I just need you to rest and keep having fun, how about that?" Sara announced and I nodded. "Okay people, out!" Emily yelled and motioned with her hands for everyone —except me and Talon, to leave the room. "Let's give the expecting parents some fucking space please, come on!" She yelled smiling so hard it reached her ears. I felt fulfilled knowing that I had finally accomplished what I came here for. The feeling of having another being growing within me brought a euphoric effect. It was great. "Hey," Talon said, sitting on the bed with me. He held my jaw an
Chapter 53: Avalyn's POV The sound of our laughter echoed through the corridors long after we settled back in my room. Emily was still grumpy and Dawn couldn't stop laughing. It was like a drug for as soon as she started laughing, I took over and there was no turning back. In the end, the three of us fell into the bed laughing so hard, we had tears in our eyes. A knock at the door made us compose ourselves. "Yes, who is that?" Dawn called. "Family only, maids and guards, fuck off?" Emily added and I covered my mouth to muffle my snickering. They were like two rebels that kept getting into mischief but were extremely beautiful. The door cracked open and Cassie stepped in. "Who gave the order about guards and maids?" She asked. "That was Emily!" Dawn said, pointing a finger at her. Cassie laughed as she joined us on the large bed. "You both should have your mates by now and we should be talking about your ceremonies!" Emily raised her brows and like someone under the influence
Chapter 54: Talon's POV I was in the throne room, following the meeting with the alphas from the large screen in front of me.Around the table with me physically, were a few members of my council, Walter and David. Including Greg of course."We have caught about two of them but before we can get any information from them, they commit suicide," Alpha Patrick said."Their activities have reduced drastically ever since our meeting here. I think they are retreating," Jared, my cousin said.It was true that the activities of the rogues had drastically reduced and our men were more than alert to intercept any attack they planned.In the last few days, our side had zero casualties but their side suffered a lot more."I think we should keep our eyes open. Rogues, especially the ones led by Desmond can never be underestimated. They might be planning something big," Walter put in and I nodded even though I was half bored and half horny.I promised to be with Avalyn in the late hours of the nig
Chapter 55: Talon's PoVIt felt like the world had come to a stop and everything went still. The birds and insects in the surrounding forest went silent and even the wind stood."What did you say?" I whispered, holding his shoulder.Surely, I must have heard wrong..."I am sorry Talon but Avalyn has lost the baby," Greg replied in a whisper "No!" I mumbled before I roared. "No!!"My voice activated the world and everything came back to life in noisy feedback.It felt like a bomb had gone off in my heart and nothing made sense anymore. I tried to grab unto a meaningful thing but everything felt like liquid.How could this be possible?"Where is she?" I howled."The clinic..." Greg replied with his head bowed low.My legs started walking on their own accord in the direction of the clinic. Elizabeth's boys were long forgotten as the only thing on my mind was how to get to Avalyn.There had to be a mistake. Sara must have checked the wrong sample.Just today, I saw the baby. I saw my son
Chapter 56: Avalyn's POV Useless used to be an ordinary word until it became a person —It became me.Talon couldn't even look at me when he came. He asked about the baby and especially only asked when I was ready to have another child for him.That made me more than useless. I was a burden and I should have died with my child. I shouldn't have stayed alive."Avalyn?" Sara called my name and I looked at her.Her cheeks were red and her eyes were swollen from too many tears.I brought this upon her. How could I have been so stupid and reckless? How did I lose the baby?"I have done some tests and it's indicating that you ate something that had a pregnancy termination property in it," she explained.My eyes enlarged as large beads of tears dripped down my face. I would never take a termination drug or pill or food.I loved my child with all of my heart, why would I take a termination pill?"Do you remember what you ate throughout the day?"I had breakfast with Dawn and Emily. We went fo
Chapter 57: Talon's POV"No, my king. I need to do some tests on her blood to be certain what exactly happened. But the dead foetus and the blood coming from her, tell me she has had a miscarriage," Sara explained with light in her eyes.She was certain of what she was saying and I was dying. This was crazy. It couldn't be real."She didn't come to me, so I presume she didn't know about it herself until she lost it..." Sara went on with her explanation but I was no longer listening.I couldn't possibly listen to what she was saying. It made no sense.I started walking away from her, without replying or saying anything at that."My king? My king?" I heard her call me but I couldn't bring myself to respond.I wanted to, but I couldn't."Go get the Beta, right now!" She yelled to someone but I wasn't interested.It felt like my soul was watching my body move but it couldn't recognize it as my own.My body had separated from itself. My wolf was out a long time ago. My brain was on hiatus.
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
