MasukChapter 5: Talon's POV
As I looked at the girl from a distance and my wolf chose her. She wasn't perfect but she would do.I had caught her scent earlier that evening as I made my run around the open fields of the castle. It was so strong that I couldn't ignore it.
I reached the human town and watched from behind the trees as she walked with a box in her hand.
She felt my gaze upon her and I watched as she foolishly ran off.
"Humans..." I scoffed. They were so stupid most of the time.
If I really wanted to take her at that very moment, she couldn't stop me. Not her run and even her willpower. They were all the same puppets and completely helpless.
I suddenly felt rage build up in my core and at that moment I was overwhelmed with desire. I didn't know where it came from, but I decided it was going to feel amazing fucking her pathetic little body.
I calmly traced her scent to the house she had gotten into. From my position in the tree line, I saw her cower into the wall and a feeble man kicked at her.
I corked my head and found it strange. She wasn't running off, and neither was she calling for help. She just sat there and let the man beat her up.
At that moment, I started doubting my wolf. How could it pick something so weak and helpless? She couldn't even help herself through her pathetic situation. How could she bare me, children?!
It was a hard gamble to play it and if anything went run, my wolf was solemnly the only one I would blame here.
The girl felt my presence again and she caught my eyes but I had seen enough. Since my wolf wanted her, it was only better I took her before her parents broke her.
I turned back as fast as lightning and returned to my castle.
The gates were heavily guarded but every warrior and beyond knew my wolf like the back of their hand, they wouldn't dare stop me.
I passed through them and ignored the way they bowed in fear —not necessarily respect.
Rather than go to my chambers, I turned to go find someone else, Greg.
I transformed into my human form and walked through the paved path up till I got to his office. Knowing Greg, he was working late.
I pounded my fist against the door once, and it opened immediately.
"Talon?!" Greg asked in surprise. "Seeing you twice in one day when there isn't a national emergency isn't a very good sign. What's up?"
I pushed past him and walked into the office. I pulled the visitor's chair and lowered myself into it.
"When is the exchange day with the humans?" I asked disregarding his comment.
Greg was shocked at my question because he of all people knew how much that day disgusted me. If it was up to me, all the humans would have been dead by now. They were no good to themselves!
"Talon, is there a problem?"
"I found a breeder and I want you to go retrieve her for me as soon as possible. Her parents don't seem to like her a lot so the transaction shouldn't be a problem. I want her in this castle by tomorrow." I ordered.
Greg slowly walked to his seat and picked up a paper. "If you are certain her parents won't be a problem, I don't think we need to push for the exchange day. I can go to them first thing in the morning and propose the bargain," He proposed.
He wrote something on the paper in front of him and passed it to me.
"What's her name? Description and all of that..." He stated pointing to the paper.
I rolled my eyes and pushed the paper back to him. "I don't know her name. But the house is the fifth in a row when you access the town from the fields. It's the only brown-roofed house in the area," I said and got up.
I was still stark naked and my cock still needed attention. I had to go meet Willow.
"Okay, consider it done," Greg replied and scribbled the address into the paper himself.
As I got to the door, I paused and turned back around. "She has green eyes and dark long hair... You'd know it's her when you find her," I said before exiting his office.
Taking the direction of the garden, I walked slowly and took my time to take in the scents of the freshly grown flowers.
Tomorrow was the council meeting and for their own sakes, I hoped no one mentioned anything about Willow's inability to birth me a child for I was going to kill the first person who uttered it.
I took the stairs and moved swiftly to my chambers. As soon as I got to the corridor, Willow's scent in our room increased the desire I had gotten from staring at that human girl.
I didn't know if I should tell her that I found a girl for some reason, I felt it would be best I kept that information until Greg brought the girl.
I pushed the door open and Willow's beautiful green eyes met mine.
"Where have you been Talon?" She got out of bed and walked toward me in that elegant air of hers.
I closed the door behind me and just stood there waiting for her to reach me.
Her simmering dress flowed behind her, making her look like a goddess under the moonlight that sipped in through the large windows in the room.
"You smell of humans my love." Her beautiful face pinched into a frown as she reached across my bare chest. "What happened?"
I held her hand and brought them to my lips. I kissed her knuckles and gave her a small grin.
"Nothing happened my love. I just went for a run..." I whispered.
Her brows were still furrowed as she studied my body like she might miss something.
"The council meeting is tomorrow. Are you perhaps worried about that?" She looked up into my face with those alluring eyes of hers and my rage immediately wiped off.
I would move mountains for Willow if that was what it took to protect her.
"I am the Lycan King. I don't have to bother about anyone's opinion," I said as I placed more kisses on her knuckles. "I told you earlier, that whoever dares to say a word against you will die first before they finished whatever they had planned." My eyes sparkled as my wolf accepted my declaration. I wasn't going to seat in that throne room and listen to cowardly men talk about my mate with disrespect.
Willow gave me one of her priceless smiles and she raised herself to her toes and pressed a kiss on my lips. Then she moved her lips to my ears. "You should take a shower, there is something I want to show you," She said.
My cock twitched in response and I kissed the side of her head. "Is that all you want?" I groaned.
She took a step back and hugged herself. "I'll be waiting," She drawled and walked back to the large bed, watching me.
I could take her right there and then, but I didn't want her to be uncomfortable while I penetrated deep and hard into her.
I swiftly got to the bathroom and took the fastest shower I had ever done in my life. I made sure to use her favorite soap as I scrubbed over the sweat on my body. When I finished, I returned to the bedroom with a towel on my waist and my eyes narrowed as I found her beautiful figure completely naked waiting for me.
Her legs were spread apart and she had two of her fingers buried deep inside her soft folds. Her nipples were round and firm as she stared back at me.
"You are cheating," I growled as I joined her on the bed.
"Am I?" She moaned pulling her lips into her mouth.
My hands brushed against her left breast and she smiled up at me with those beautiful green eyes.
"What was it you wanted to show me? I am here now..." I pushed her hand deeper into her core and she swallowed down the cries that threatened to escape her lips.
Her legs spread even wider giving me an amazing show.
She corked her head to the side and I watched as her beautiful long hair flowed to one side of her shoulders. "How long can you watch me pleasure myself?" She whispered as she continued touching herself.
I hissed, pulling her hand out of her all of a sudden. "Zero seconds! Why would I watch you pleasure yourself when I was here... What do I gain if not to please you, my love?"
She let her tongue wipe seductively over her lips as she watched me. "Hmm, turn around," She said and I frowned.
"What?"
"Turn around my king," She repeated, changing the wheels of control in my head.
Her voice was so sexy and demanding, I couldn't resist.
I was usually the one leading, but tonight, I let her take the reigns. I slowly turned around and waited patiently for her to do her thing.
"Lay on your stomach and raise your ass for me, my king," She added and I gave her a questioning stare.
"Really?"
"Yes, my king... Just give it to me... Please," she added and I felt my wolf almost surface in anticipation.
My cock was already dripping juices and the longer I waited the harder it was becoming for me to let her control tonight.
I did as she said and waited. She didn't begin right away. She waited for my patience to run out before she made me move.
I felt her hot lips around my thick cock but from behind. The sensation hit differently at once.
"Hmmm, Talon... You taste so good..." Her sweet voice hung in the air, pulling me into a bubble that only she could create.
Even in my next life, Willow was always going to be my mate because she sure knew how to make me happy.
Chapter 100: ScarlettThe morning sunlight spilled through my windows in golden beams, painting the marble floors with streaks of light.And for the first time in years, I let it wash over me without flinching... without feeling like it mocked the darkness I carried.It felt good. I felt good.Because today wasn't an ordinary day, it was the day I was finally letting go of all my burdens.For so long, guilt had been my companion. Guilt for falling in love with a man who had betrayed my family...But today, it was all gone. Because I now knew for sure that Asher was a changed man.He was no longer the man hungry for vengeance. People now sang his praises. He was now the king who cared for his people, the man he had pretended to be...Now, he was truly that man.And my heart ached in anticipation of seeing him again after so long.My hands smoothed the silk of my long dress as I smiled at myself in the mirror.I had sent an invitation to him about Blade's coronation, but this was going
Chapter 99: AsherScarlett's words sliced through me like an arrow that didn't kill, but left just enough damage.My eyes moved to the knife in her hands, but rather than see the blade, I saw the way her fingers trembled with pain.I saw the tremors of hurt that shook through her like violent waves...I saw the love even in her anger... And this was more painful than the death I had wished for myself.Seconds ago, when I heard her voice, I thought my mind was screaming down another memory.Even when I opened the door for her, I thought my hallucination had brought the worst out of it. I didn't want to believe that she was real...That the ritual Fiona had done could wear off...But when she slapped me, I realized this wasn't a dream or a hallucination. It was real.She was real. And the ritual had truly worn off.And right now, as she stood before me with the silver blade trembling in her palms, asking me to take my life again, I felt stupid.I felt weak and I felt broken over and ove
Chapter 98: ScarlettAs the jubilation of the revelation went on around me, I felt a tug in my chest and that same feeling returned…That unease that something was missing. Or that I had to find someone…The tears of joy on my face dried up as I watched Bee… I was happy that he was my brother. I was happy that after so many years of searching, I had found him.But for some reason, finding him didn’t stop that itch deep inside of me.The same feeling I had been getting ever since the day we got requested from Willow’s wicked clutches… What was it?My thoughts became jumbled and my emotions blanked out.Somehow, I was no longer in the celebration. I felt detached…Subconsciously I looked around. I didn’t know what I was searching for, but it was almost like I could feel someone watching me.I knew this was ridiculous to even say out loud considering the amount of people that had trooped into the hall to celebrate with us…But this stare… they felt different.Yet as I turned to search ar
Chapter 97: AsherAt least an entire week had passed since the war with Willow and her shadows.Life had sort of returned to normal for everyone else… except mine.Albert took care of burying our dead. Greg took the Black family’s soldiers back to do the same to their dead as well.But Axel couldn’t travel due to his injuries. He and the rest of the royal family had to stay behind. And that meant, I had to watch from the corners how Scarlett readjusted to her new life.She was still hurt and broken from the loss of her aunt. And seemed mostly distant and angry about the whole thing.I watched how she watched the crystal she had taken from Willow’s lair. And I could only pray it gave her the comfort she desperately sought.At least knowing that she was dealing with her grief— the same grief that I had caused, made it easier for me to make peace with myself.To make peace with my life.I had told myself that my life was worthless the moment I realized how much I had ruined hers. No matt
Chapter 96: ScarlettThe war was over. But my pain remained.How could it even go away? How could I begin to live with the new grief?It was already hard living without my parents. Not knowing if they were alive or not… it was already hard surviving without my younger brother, Blade—“Oh goddess,” I whimpered as tears filled my eyes again.With all of this pain, how was I supposed to add Aunt Emily to that list?And this time, it wasn’t an uncertain feeling… it was real. I knew what had happened because I saw it myself.She wasn’t lost or wounded or simply dispersed by war. She was gone.She was dead.My tears flowed even faster as thoughts came to me like a storm. I saw the scene happening before my eyes again…There was this pain in my chest that I couldn’t ignore. It was like a feeling that I had to do something.I had to find something or someone to replace the pain.As for Axel, it was easy. At least he had Violet and his baby by his side.But I had no one.No mate. No one to kee
Chapter 95: AsherAs the last breath shuddered out of Willow, her shadows screamed— The sound was like a thousand voices howling in agony.They immediately started dropping off her body, disintegrating into ash with a wave that shook the entire place.And like a detonated sequence, the rest of her army also started falling. One by one they collapsed into smoke, just like the ones on her.Truly she was their control because within minutes, the battlefield was filled with dark smoke as all the shadows fell.As everyone realised what was happening, a thunderous howl of victory tore through the place as everyone jubilated.Yet all I could do was kneel there, still holding her body.Her head dangled to the side, with that unsettling smile still there… as though she had won something I couldn’t see.I could still hear her words, her curses and her promise to return. And the more I stared at her, the more irritated I felt.My fury grew, expanding into a knowledge my father had long taught me
