Chapter 1: Talon's POVStaring back at me from the mirror was the reflection of an anxiety-ridden face. I honestly couldn't remember the last time I had been this nervous. Hell, even the nerves I had felt on the day of my marriage to my Willow hadn't been as wracking as this. My stomach was in a knot as I paced the well-polished floors of my bedroom over and over in agony. Was this it? Was I finally going to get the news I'd been dreaming of for so long? Was my willow going to come out here with the best news of my life? Of both our lives? To the goddess, I really prayed so. We deserved nothing but good news at this point in our lives. We had tried for so long to not get this blessing now.I chuckled as memories of our grand mating came flooding into my mind. It had been the happiest day of my life, the day I claimed Willow as mine, the day I became a mated Lycan ruler; whole and able-bodied to lead an entire territory of werewolves. I could still remember the whistling and celebr

Chapter 3: Talon's POVWillow let out a quiet sigh as I collapsed on top of her. Our sweaty chests pressed together tightly. She let out a breathy laugh, almost sounding dazed, as her body began to climb down from its post-orgasmic high. My body was still buzzing but exhausted. A satisfied smile crept onto my face as I pressed my lips to her collarbone. She responded by carding her fingers through my hair. I felt her lips press against my forehead, the action so tender and gentle that I shivered.We lay there for a moment, just basking in the afterglow until I was sure willow was probably struggling to breathe with the weight of my body on top of hers. Pulling my body up, I chuckled when Willow's face twisted into a discontented pout, her bruised lips pressing together tightly."We should get you cleaned up," I said slowly, glancing down at where my lower half was still joined with hers, I couldn't help but lick my lips at the sight, so incredibly erotic that I felt blood begin to tr

Chapter 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 fe

Chapter 7: Avalyn's POV This time, I didn't just feel the vibration of his growl deep in my stomach, my heart rammed in my chest as my blood pumped five times faster. He wasn't human. I could tell that now. The aura eluding his being brought nothing but fear. I trembled like an abandoned leaf as my eyes slowly went up to peep at him. The early morning sun made it difficult for me to see him clearly at such an angle and I couldn't tell if I was grateful for this or not. My father greedily went over the bags and started going through the coins. The sound of the metal pieces kissing one another echoed in the room. On a good day, it could have been classified as a calming sound but at that point, it felt horrible. It felt like a death machine —my death machine. "You can have her!" My stepmother chirped pushing me towards the towering man. The push was so sudden that I lose my balance as I wavered toward him. He held me by the arm and his grey eyes lowered to meet mine. The world wen

Chapter 9: Talon's POV I closed my eyes enjoying the feel of her wet folds around my cock but Sully's stupid words played back into my head and for the first time since I got mated to Willow, I wondered why we were never able to make a baby. Was I not fucking her right? I grabbed her waist and started hitting harder than before. She grabbed the sheets and her eyes rolled as the pleasure hit her differently. "Yesss... More... Faster!" She moaned meeting each of my thrusts with one of hers. I shook my head trying to push the thoughts away but they refused to go away. Willow couldn't have any issues. Maybe I was the one with an issue... "Yesss... Oh, Talon! Yes!" She screamed enjoying the hard strokes I was giving her. I flipped her over so that her ass was in the air. She positioned herself perfectly, and my thick cock rammed into her from the back. I grabbed her breast and allow its softness to help clear my mind but it was to no avail. It was no longer lovemaking, we were just
