The Lycan King’s Breeder

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 ahead and did this.

Even with the medication, I read the company’s clientele list, she was described as a woman from the royal home. When I read that report, I wanted to believe it was someone else.

I even wanted to believe it was Emily but my mind knew who it was, I just didn’t want to admit to it.

Willow had been terminating all the pregnancies on her own. She had been taking that medication ever since our first mating ceremony.

Why? I couldn’t tell and that was the reason why I would make sure I found her.

She couldn’t run from me. I would fish her out like a starved hunter in the sea.

“My King,” Sara’s voice snapped me out of my turmoil and I got on my feet.

“Treat him with everything you’ve got. Make sure he survived,” I said and turned to Greg. “Gather the men, change of plans. We leave in two hours.”

“Yes, my King,” Greg responded with a bow before running off to meet the men.

I walked to my chambers to pull up my vest and I wasn’t surprised when I saw it in chaos.

A sad smile sat on my lips. Why would she give all of this away? For what?

My pain fueled my anger and I wanted to end this as fast as possible. I would kill Desmond myself to be certain he would never resurface and as for Willow, I would make her pay for all the pain she caused me.

“Talon, we are ready!” Jared’s voice said from the door.

I tightened my belt and turned to him. “Good, let’s go.”

The team was already separated into three and I was the one heading to the fields. Jared was with me.

Greg led the team taking the land while Aaliyah and Walter took the river track.

“May the goddess be with you all as you fight bravely to end the reign of Desmond and his band of rogues!” I said and the men chorused with war cries.

My blood was pumped and my hands hitched to begin killing anyone who stood in my way.

An hour later, we got to the land, the resonating sound of an explosion filled the night and it was brightened by the flames. I knew the other team must have started the attack and we were there to end this.

I moved past the matching soldiers to Dawn who had volunteered to be on the front lines.

“Go to the building and find them. Take them to a safe place and wait for my instructions, do you understand?” I asked above the war noise.

“Yes, my king!” She nodded.

She sprung into action, pulling along with her several soldiers.

“Attack!” I yelled and the men with me charged forward.

Desmond’s men tried to counterattack but they were outnumbered greatly.

I slashed through the rogues at a speed they couldn’t keep up with. I was aiming for Desmond and Willow. Knowing Her, she was probably hiding somewhere but as for Desmond, he wouldn’t miss an opportunity to kill.

“Charge! They are retreating!” I heard Jared yell behind me.

“Do not let even a single one of them escape!” I instructed and took to my heels.

Desmond had to be here somewhere.

The burning houses and trees around us made it difficult to see clearly but I could have sworn I saw him a couple of seconds ago.

“He is in the woods!” I heard Greg call out.

I turned to the wood and truly, I saw his tall figure running for his life.

Not on my watch!

Desmond was going to die tonight.

I jumped into the air, the loud popping sound of my bones, overlapping the explosions as my body transformed into my wolf.

Fury drove me ahead and I saw his tail as he scurried deeper into the shadows.

That was all he knew how to do best, how to hide. But I wasn’t here to play games with him, I came here to kill and end him.

I sauntered forward, closing up on him from behind. My paws slapped him and he collapsed to the wet ground.

“Talon, we can sort this out!” He stuttered, hoping for mercy.

“You didn’t have mercy when you killed my father! Neither did that mercy work when you took Avalyn and Emily!” I growled, grabbing his neck.

He tried to transform but the pressure on his neck was too much for his windpipes.

His hands moved to the ground and I miscalculated for a second. He used the chance to throw sand into my eyes and as I took a step away from him, to clear my vision, he transformed.

I glared at him, not even moved by his transformation. I have been training all my life for this moment.

He threw his front paws at me but I held them. With my free paw, I grabbed at his neck again.

I was a Lycan. My wolf was stronger, faster, and bigger than his. He had no chance.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

My claws extended and I made sure to look deeply into his eyeballs as I plunged them into his heart.

His dying howl filled the night air and I was certain the goddess was satisfied as I twisted my claws and rooted out his heart from his chest.

His blood splashed all over me but the thrill pushed me further, till his wolf went limp in my arms and the light in his eyes died.

I dumped his body to the wet ground, wishing for all creatures of the forest to have a feast at him as I doubled back to the fields where my men had started gathering some of his men.

“Finish all of them! No prisoners! I want them all dead!” I yelled as I marched through the fields to the building where Montgomery had mentioned seeing Avalyn.

I was about to go into the first beautiful when a pair of bright blue eyes caught my attention among the kneeling people.

“Talon,” Jared called. “We found Willow.”

The injury in my heart felt like it was being opened again, as I turned in their direction.

“She was caught trying to start a fire in Avalyn and Emily’s room. Goddess mercy, we got there in good time,” Jared said.

My body felt numb. Even at the last minute, she didn’t change.

I dropped to one knee in front of her and asked her the one question I have been dying to ask her.

“Why?”

She turned her eyes away from me, pursing her lips. There was a time that act, made my heart flip in excitement but not tonight.

I grabbed her jaw and held it firmly so she could look into my eyes.

“Why Willow? Why did you do all of these?” I asked, shaking her roughly.

“It’s because of Avalyn!” She cried out. “You were giving her all the attention and you forgot about me! I had to kill her but when that stupid maid failed, I poisoned her but that too failed! Desmond was the only one I could run to!” She said, crying hysterically.

“I love you so much Talon… I didn’t know what else to do…”

If I didn’t know what she had done to our children, I would have believed her.

I took my hands away from her. “You don’t love me. If you did, you wouldn’t have constantly killed our children Willow. You wouldn’t!”

She stopped crying for a second and wiped her face with the back of her hands. “I- I am sorry about that but it’s not my fault- I didn’t want to become ugly with a large stomach. I couldn’t allow myself to look like a toad because you wanted an heir… I couldn’t do that…”

Before I could stop myself, my hand flew across her cheek, hoping I could slap some sense into her.

“Are you crazy?! Have you lost your mind, Willow?” I yelled.

“Yes! I am crazy! I can’t be pregnant for you or anyone Talon! That’s why I made you get a breeder! But rather than just get her pregnant, you went and fell in love with her! And now you blame me!” She screamed pulling at her hair like a mad woman, while my heart burned with pain.

I thought of all the children we had lost. All the fake tears she shed were all a show. She never wanted a baby.

“Damn, you Willow!” I yelled moving towards her but Jared stopped me.

“Let it go Talon. She isn’t worth it…” He said but I didn’t want to listen to him, I pushed him away and moved towards her but the voice that filled my ears next melted all my anger away.

“Umm… Talon?”
