Chapter 62: Talon's PoVAfter the long shower, I pulled Avalyn closer for another kiss. She was so sweet, I could spend the entire day in her room, just enjoying her body and forgetting about everything else.But I was the Lycan King. I had duties to attend to."I hate to leave but I need to attend meetings... I trust Emily and Dawn will take care of you, right?" I whispered against her soft lips.She nodded, hiding her face under her eyelashes.Warmth filled me at the gesture. I could see her perfectly, yet she thought she was hiding the blush with her lashes. They were long and beautiful but they weren't enough."Ahh, Avalyn," I sighed as I kissed her swollen lips again. "You are driving me crazy..." I whispered as my lips found her cheeks. I was slowly moving to her mouth again but she placed a soft hand on my chest, stopping me."Umm... I think you should go," she whispered.My wolf groaned. We wanted to stay here but she was right. I should go."Stay out of trouble," I whispered

Chapter 64: Avalyn's POVAfter walking for almost an hour, I didn't think we could find a place like this.It was so beautiful.The bright flowers around us and the green trees below the hill looked like a picture out of a magazine.We were so high up that I could see the entire world beneath us.I felt Talon move behind me and he moved his arms around my body. He raised his finger and pointed to the eastern side."That's my cousin's land," he whispered and then pointed to the western part. There were so many trees in this direction, I could barely see anything. "The human kingdom is down there, plus other packs under my jurisdiction... And there," he pointed somewhere else.I followed his hands and found nothing. I looked sideways into his face and I saw that his dark eyes were sad.I turned to look at the spot he pointed at and found a stone. My brows furrowed as I wondered what it was but as I looked deeply, I saw that it was a tombstone."What's —" I stuttered but he replied befor

Chapter 66: Avalyn's POV As we stepped out of the castle, Emily held my hand and we skipped and walked excitedly.She and Dawn have told me so many stories about their market days. I have been dreaming of the day we could go there.When we met Talon and Greg in the castle, my heart fell because I was certain they would forbid us from going but Talon once again came to my rescue.We only had a handful of men to deal with."Princess!" One of the men called behind us. "We have to take a detour. The front gate is covered with guards and that will delay your plans. The sooner we get to the market the earlier we get back to our duties," the man said.Emily furrowed her brows and glared at the man. "Look, I am not the one who dragged you out here. If you don't want to do this, you can freaking get back to base or something!" She hissed and I held her back.If they thought there was a shortcut somewhere it was better we took it."Emily please, let it go," I whispered to her and then turned t

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 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
