Dead
Chapter 64: Avalyn’s POV
After 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 before my question finished.
“That’s my father’s grave… Emily and I buried him here…” he said.
He unwrapped his arms from me and held my hand. He led me closer to the tomb.
We just stood there and I felt my heart swell in sadness -his sadness.
I pulled myself from him. I walked to the flowers nearby and picked up a white lily. Then I returned to the tomb and placed the flower on it.
“Someone once told me that it helped to talk about pain…” I whispered, looking up at him.
He joined me on the ground and kissed my temples.
I could feel the trouble in his heart, so much so that it overwhelmed me. I wanted him to share them with me but I didn’t know how I could make him open up.
“Was he a kind man?” I whispered as I leaned into him.
“The best father a child could have… I wished you met him,” Talon whispered and I felt my heart swell in pride.
He placed another kiss on the side of my head and I smiled. The more he talked about it, the better his aura became. I had to keep trying.
“How did he die?” I asked in a small voice.
I almost regretted my question when his body stiffened under mine. But soon after he relaxed again.
“I was only sixteen and Emily barely ten when rogues attacked our land…” he started. “We all fought for our land and victory was near… But everything changed when they captured Emily.”
He moved his muscles and I turned to look at him. He raised his shirt and brought my hand to his lower back. My fingers traced a scar.
My brows furrowed. I had never noticed it before.
“I got hurt and almost died while trying to save her… Desmond, their leader, got to me but before he could finish me off, my father took the hit.” His voice dropped and I could see the pain in his eyes.
I held his cheeks and leaned into his chest. I didn’t know what else I could do. I just wanted to take all the pain away from him.
“I am sorry Talon,” I whispered as I held onto him.
He wrapped his arms around me and we stayed this way for a long time.
My father was not a very good man, but it still hurts whenever I thought about him. Talon’s case was different. His father was a good man.
It must have been so difficult for Emily too.
“Thank you, Avalyn,” he whispered after a long while and I felt his usual aura return.
I pulled away from his shoulders and looked into his eyes. The pain was still there, but it was eased.
Cassie was right. Sharing problems really did help.
“Let me do something for you,” I said and he raised his brows in surprise.
We were laying across from the tomb, on a flat bed of carpet grass.
I moved down to his waistline and pulled at his belt.
“What are you doing?” He asked in a husky voice.
I smiled mischievously as I looked back at him. “Making you happy…” I whispered as my hands worked on the belt.
It finally came to lose and my eyes sparkled in excitement. Gently, I pulled his pants down and his cock jerked to life.
“Ooh, look who missed me?” I whispered as I wet my lips.
After what he did to me this morning, I buried myself in the library and searched for what I could do to make him feel as good as he made me feel.
I could have asked Emily but she would tease me till the end of life itself.
I planned on using what I learned later tonight when he came but now was also a better time. He needed it as much as I did.
I don’t know where the courage came from but I gently grabbed his cock and kissed it
“Fuck!” Talon hissed as he looked down at me. I smiled and took him into my mouth.
It felt so good.
I closed my eyes and sucked on him. My hands went up and down his length as I tried to memorize all of the moves I learned in the book I found in the library.
His fingers brushed against my aching nipples and I moaned against his thick throbbing cock in my mouth.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
“Fuck!” Talon hissed and grabbed my hair.
I started bobbing my head up and down, in a faster motion as I felt his stomach tighten under my free hand, which I placed on it.
My other hand continued caressing his balls as gently as I could.
“Avalyn… Yeah…” He moaned, pushing my head deeper into him so that all of his length went into my mouth.
He started moving his hips and I accepted all of him. I gagged over his length but continued till his seed pumped to the back of my throat.
I made sure to swallow all of him.
“Ohhh, Avalyn… Fuck!” He hissed as he knotted.
When he finished, I cleaned him up with my tongue and lips. I returned his pants to their position and helped him with his belt.
My cheeks were burning red at what I had just done. I didn’t know what his reaction would be.
“Avalyn,” he whispered and I raised my eyes shyly to stare at him from under my lashes.
“Come here,” he called, motioning for me to come on top of him.
I didn’t know if that was exactly what he meant, so I moved by his side instead. He sat up and pulled my face closer to his.
He kissed me.
“Where did you learn how to do that?” He whispered as his head rested against mine. “It was amazing…” He added.
“From a book?” I squeaked shyly.
He crashed his lips against mine again and I melted into him.
Suddenly Talon tensed. He pulled away from my lips and glared at our surroundings. I also checked the flowers surrounding us but I couldn’t see anything.
“Do you trust me?” Talon whispered, with his eyes still watching our surroundings.
“Yes, Talon. I do,” I replied.
“When I tell you to move… You move behind me, understood?” he asked, still in a whisper.
I didn’t know why he was whispering since there was no one around us. But I trusted him, so I waited for his command.
“Now!” He whispered harshly and I swiftly moved behind him.
A swooshing sound of air slapped my ears and I squeezed my eyes shut in reflex.
“Amateurs!” Talon hissed and I opened my eyes right in time to see him launching an arrow toward our left.
I heard a loud crash to the ground and Talon got to his feet, pulling me along with him.
My heart was racing as I realized what was happening. Someone was attacking us.
“Stay close, there is one more,” Talon whispered harshly and my eyes expanded in fear.
I couldn’t even bring myself to speak. I just nodded my head and held on tight to his hand.
“Show yourself and your death will be swift!” He hissed out to the expanse of land around us.
Another swooshing send came toward us and this time I watched in awe as Talon effortlessly caught the arrow with his bare hands.
I saw movements to the right and Talon launched the Arrow in that direction as well.
I didn’t know how he did it but another sound resonated in the air and we heard a curse.
Talon held my hand and we walked cautiously in the direction of the sound.
It was a man.
He tried to move as we got closer but the blood seeping out of his stomach was a sign that he couldn’t move.
Talon got to him and grabbed him by the neck.
“Who sent you?” He growled.
The man showed off his bloodied teeth and coughed out even more blood.
“Fuck you…” The man whimpered, whizzing in pain.
Talon’s body seemed to radiate heat. He let go of my hand and in horror, I watched as his claws emerged from his fingers.
Talon went down on his knees and pressed down on the man’s injury with his claws.
“Aarh!” The man let out a blood-curdling scream.
“I am going to repeat it one more time, who sent you?” Talon hissed.
His eyes were burning red as he glared at the man. His anger wasn’t toward me, but I could feel the fear tear down my body.
The man pursed his lips and Talon pressed them even further.
“It was a woman!” The man yelled. “It was a woman -please… Don’t kill me… I have a daughter…” he pleaded with tears streaming down his eyes.
But Talon didn’t reduce the pressure he was applying. He pressed even further and the man could barely cry out anymore as life started slipping out of him.
“What’s her name?” Talon roared but the man’s eyes were losing a life.
The more Talon pressured, the closer he was to dying.
“I- I didn’t…” he tried to speak but his voice trailed off into the thin air.
He was dead.
