The Lycan King’s Breeder

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 have no choice but to retaliate!” Walter spat and got divided approval from the members.

Greg stared at me but my eyes were fixated on the grumbling members. Such cowards didn’t deserve to be on my council.

“We have talked about this before! War and fights aren’t going to solve this problem-” Thomas was saying and I cocked my head to the side to listen to him.

“Then what is?” Greg growled from my side and I held him back.

“No, Greg, let him speak. Coward men like him should be allowed to spit every nonsense they have harbored in their hearts!” I roared and Thomas bit down on his tongue.

Silence fell in the throne room as everyone looked at one another. I knew that more than half of them didn’t like me nor did they appreciate my methods but they had to admit that my methods kept them alive for this long -so, they had no choice but to obey.

“What Thomas, you have nothing left to say?” I asked glaring at him.

He kept looking down at his feet like they could open and swallow him up. He opened his mouth to speak but nothing left his lips.

I got up from my throne and he jumped in fear. I scoffed and changed my direction to the center of the room. I was not in the mood to have his blood in my hands.

“We are the ruling kingdom and pesky little rogues shouldn’t give us trouble! Greg, send a message to all the allies we have. Prepare for a meeting with all of them. They need to know who we are up against and plan our next action to eradicate them once and for all!” I said as I marched out of the room.

If I stayed there a minute longer, Thomas wasn’t going to be the only one dying.

My legs led me back to my study. I could have gone to the room but Willow might be there and I still hadn’t gotten the courage to look at her after the moment I shared with Avalyn.

But as I pushed the door open, my eyes narrowed as they fell on Willow.

“Talon…” She whispered as she got on her feet and stepped away from my chair. She moved to the visitor’s seat and lowered herself in all her grace.

“I figured the only way I was going to get your attention was to come here…” She said waving her draping hands to me.

The tension between us was stronger than I had anticipated. It was so thick it could be slit open with a knife.

“We need to talk Talon, you have been cold for the last few days… Why?” She asked in that soothing voice of hers that surprisingly wasn’t so soothing today.

I heaved out a sigh and rather than go to my chair, I joined her on the visitor’s side of the room.

“I don’t know Willow. I have just been busy with work,” I said, flashing her a small smile.

Her blue eyes flashed bright as her emotions got stronger. She turned her eyes away as if calculating her next words. She fisted her hands and looked at me again. “Is it work or is it the Human girl?” She hissed.

A frown covered my face and I pulled farther away from her. “Avalyn?”

Her eyes didn’t twitch as she stared back at me. “Yes, that girl. You haven’t been to the room Talon. You barely talk to me. I haven’t even seen you in days now. What do you expect me to think?” Her firm voice started breaking at the end and she turned away from me.

I took her hands in mind and turned her face to mine. “Willow…” I began swallowing the bile of guilt that ate at me. “This has nothing to do with Avalyn. Don’t you know the rogues are back? I have been busy. Avalyn has nothing to do with this.” I lied again.

“Does it?” Her eyes teared up as she looked up at me, sending a shard of pain through my heart.

How was I supposed to tell my mate that I was starting to develop strange feelings for my breeder?

She reached her hand to my cheeks and held my head in place. “Talon, I love you more than life itself. Please don’t push me away,” she whispered and the shard of pain in my heart exploded into tiny blades that split through me.

“I love you too Willow. You know I do. I just need time to figure out this problem the kingdom is having…” This much was true. I didn’t know what I felt for Avalyn and why her body drove me insane but that was it. There was nothing else.

But with Willow, I knew I loved her. My body knew it and every nerve in my body breathed it.

She was my mate after all. We were connected in more ways than I could even imagine.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Sara called me earlier today,” she began in a whisper as her hand started caressing my cheek in a slow circular motion.

“Did something come up?” I asked furrowing my brows.

She smiled softly and her fingers caressed my lips.

“She said the girl is pregnant.”

It felt like the world stopped and only my heart kept beating. Avalyn was pregnant!?

I got up from the seat and pulled her along with me. “Where is she?” I asked as we moved out of the study.

Willow stopped moving and glared at me. “She is at the clinic…” She whispered.

A cloud of confusion covered my face at her resistance. “Aren’t you coming?” I asked her.

She wiped her face and flashed me a tight-lipped smile. “I have seen her already. You should go check her.”

My wolf was flipping in excitement and if it was left to him, he would be running out of there in seconds. But it didn’t feel right to run off and leave Willow.

“Are you okay?” I asked her instead.

“Yes, I am fine. Now that you are speaking to me again,” she said and flashed me another smile.

Finally, the shock of the news washed away and joy filled me. I was finally going to have my pups running around the castle. I could finally show them to the likes of Elizabeth!

Suddenly, I pulled her into a tight hug. “Thank you Willow,” I whispered.

She made this happen. If she hadn’t convinced me to take a breeder, all of these wouldn’t have been possible.

“I love you so much, Willow!” I exclaimed, placing kisses all over her face.

Her blue eyes flashed at me and she smiled again. “I love you too Talon.”

My fingers were itching to touch Avalyn next. She had taken shame away from me and I couldn’t have done it any other way.

“I should go!” I exclaimed and she nodded.

I placed another kiss on her cheek and walked in the direction of the clinic as fast as I could.

“My King,” The workers greeted me as I stepped into the building.

“Hello!” I replied as I continued marching at full speed.

I had been waiting for this news my entire life. The few times Willow got pregnant were short-lived and I wanted to make sure that the story was practically different from this.

Nothing was going to happen to this child.

I pushed the door to her private ward open and her green eyes met mine at once.

Before responding to them, I went to the bed where she sat trying not to stare at me.

I pulled her into a hug and placed a wet kiss on her forehead. “Thank you, Avalyn…” I whispered.

The door opened behind me and I turned to find Dawn and Sara B”My king,” they chorused.

I placed another kiss on Avalyn’s forehead and left her to respond to Dawn and Sara.

“Hello, Dawn!” I said to her as I walked to Sara. I grabbed her hand in mine. “I will give you anything to make sure nothing happens to this one. Are we clear?”

She nodded with a smile on her face. “Her womb lining is very thick. Every organ is working perfectly. I don’t believe we will have any complications.” She assured me.

It was wonderful news but I still wanted her to be extra careful. “Can she stay here for proper observation?” I suggested but Sara shook her head slowly with amusement glinting in her eyes.

“At this stage, we don’t want to stress her too much. We want her to be relaxed. I can move a few things to her room and check in on her twice a day but keeping her here won’t help her mental health,” she explained.

I was quiet for a while as I thought about her response. Yes, it was true that she needed no trauma or stress right now and Sara’s option wasn’t a bad one but we could do better.

“Make the check-up to be three times a day and you,” I turned to Dawn. “Make sure she gets everything she needs…”
