The Lycan King’s Breeder

Chapter 47: Talon’s POV

I had just finished discussing the security details with my men when a maid stepped into the throne room and whispered something to Greg.

He looked at me immediately and my blood spread in my chest as I wondered what the problem could be.

“You are all dismissed!” I said to the men and waited for Greg to come to me.

The maid left along with the men. Greg got up from his seat and came closer to me.

“Apparently, Willow wants to speak to you and Cassie has completed all preparations for the banquet tomorrow.”

I frowned at the first information he gave me.

“Willow wants to speak to me?”

Usually, Willow never did that. We finished all our conversations in our chamber. If something important came up, she either waited for me in my study where I usually went after throne meetings.

Yet this time, she demanded my presence. I couldn’t stop rolling it over in my head.

Greg shrugged before replying. “I am as surprised as you are.”

I tried to think of what the emergency could be that she needed to speak to me in the middle of the day. Was it so important that she couldn’t wait for me to return to the room?

“Handle the last minutes touches for the Banquet. I will take care of Willow,” I said and got up.

“Okay.”

I let Greg move out first before I did. I needed time to think and process carefully whatever it was Willow was going to throw at me.

I could tell how deep it was for it to warrant this sort of demand.

As I got close to our chamber, I could already feel cold from her aura changing the temperature. She was livid.

The moment I stepped into the room, she attacked me without remorse.

“Talon, why didn’t you tell me that Emily was back?” she asked in a voice that barely matched the rage on her face.

But I have known her long enough to know that whenever her voice sounded too calm, that was when I became worried.

“I am sorry about that, she has been staying with Jared for a while now. I didn’t even know she accepted to come back here…” I explained.

Willow stopped pacing and glared, cold icy blue eyes at me.

“Talon, you want me to believe that your sister came back home and has been staying with your cousin but somehow none of them thought to tell you?”

“Do you think I am stupid?” She asked as tears welled up in her eyes.

She and Emily had the worst relationship and having to pick between them had been the hardest decision I had ever taken in my life.

Sending her to the human school helped solve the problem to a certain point but it wasn’t enough.

“Willow, you are taking this too far-” I started to say but she interrupted me.

“I am taking this, too far?” She squeaked in disbelief. “Your sister had the guts to insult me in public! And you stand here and say I am taking this too far?!”

I frowned at her words and growled. “She insulted you?!”

I hoped that by the time Emily completed her studies and returned, they would have forgotten about their grudges but I was wrong.

I was thrown back at an important junction.

“Send her back to where she came from Talon! Please send her back. If not, I am going to lose my mind!”

Sending Emily back was out of the question. Our relationship as siblings was already dwindling. The last thing I wanted was to give her more reasons to hate me.

“What exactly did she say, Willow?” I asked her and her blue eyes flashed brighter.

“You think I am making this up, don’t you?” she asked and I felt my heart sink.

“Willow, what are you saying? Why would I think that of you?” I asked, suddenly feeling weak.

“If it were that whore of a human, would you have asked her any more questions?” Her blue eyes turned darker and she moved closer to me. “All your attention has been given to her and your sister stands in front of me and insults me, yet you stand there and ask me more questions?”

“Willow!” I didn’t know when I closed up the distance between us and grabbed her by the upper arm and shook her.

It was as if all her senses had gone from her head and she needed an extra push!

“You are my mate and Emily is my sister! Avalyn doesn’t even have anything to do with this! Why are you bringing her up?”

“That’s where you are wrong Talon! Avalyn has everything to do with this!” She spat back and my eyes narrowed as I grew more confused.

Her problem was with Emily and not Avalyn! Yet she was pulling her into it!C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

“I gave a direct order to her and she disobeyed because your sister stood by her. And this they did in public, Talon!” She said in a harsh low tone that made little children jump in their bodies.

“Your sister needs to return to wherever she came from and that human needs to be kept under lock and key Talon!” She said squirming out of my hold and started pacing.

I heard her but my body went numb because as much as I heard what she said, I couldn’t do any of them. I couldn’t even open my mouth to repeat them.

“Willow, what did Emily say?” I asked again. Perhaps if I knew the insult she sent her way, I could think of a punishment that would appease her enough to let go.

She stopped pacing and glared at me for a good minute. My body felt the cold from her but I stared back.

She was being stubborn and she knew it. There was no way I was going to send my sister away from the castle. It made no sense. Especially at a time when Avalyn was pregnant.

“Hmm, I see now. And I understand. I shall return to my chambers right now.” She turned around and headed to the wardrobe.

She had a room to herself in the castle but ever since she moved in with me, she had never slept in it or even thought about it until now.

“Since you have reduced me to a commoner, who can be insulted and treated like waste, I can’t stay here anymore.”

The more rational part of my mind was screaming at me to stop her from leaving but another refused to activate my motor senses.

I just watched as she packed a few of her clothes into her box and closed it up. Then she held the handle and rolled it out of the room without sparing me another look.

I was tempted to just fall back on the bed and close my eyes.

But this was my mate, my Luna. Something had to be done.

As soon as I heard the click of the door in the corridor, I left the room for Emily.

Avalyn was currently occupying her room and my lucky guess would be that they were together.

I marched down to Avalyn’s room and pushed the door open when I heard the echoing sounds of their laughter from across the corridor.

I retraced my steps to where I heard them. As I got to the sitting area, I sighed.

Naturally, I created the sitting area to give me peace whenever I was troubled.

The glass walls gave the perfect view of the gardens below and the windows were perfect for ventilation. There were semi-plants in the pots that lined the area making it seem like it was one with nature.

But all of these meant nothing compared to Avalyn’s beauty.

I stood there just admiring the way she laughed. The way her green eyes twinkled and the way she subconsciously rubbed her stomach every now and then…

“My king,” someone said behind me, and the three of them stopped laughing.

Emily moved her dark eyes over me and raised her brows, unlike the two other girls, she knew something was up.

Dawn got up and bowed. Avalyn tried to do the same but Emily held her back.

“You are fucking pregnant, Ava. You shouldn’t move so fucking much… It’s bad for the baby!” She hissed glaring at me.

“My king,” Dawn said, throwing her friend a questioning look.

“Emily, I would like to speak to you,” I said.

“Let me fucking guess,” she said getting off the lounge chair. “Your fucking witch of a mate came crying to you, didn’t she?”

I let her rude remark slide and closed my eyes to cool my throbbing senses.

“Why did you tell her, Emily?” I asked in a hoarse voice.

“Wrong question brother! You should rather ask what she fucking did to us?!”

I would have ignored her question but she used the plural form, which meant Willow did something to Avalyn too.

“Your witch of a fucking mate asked Avalyn to leave the sit-out area and return to the room! Like she owned the damned palace!” Emily blurted out. Her eyes flashed bright red and she took a step closer.

“I know she would fucking ask you to send me back, but Talon, I would not leave this time. I am here to fucking fulfill my duty to you and my kingdom!” Her voice went low, so low that the others couldn’t hear her anymore.

“A Luna who can’t fulfill her duties and give us an heir isn’t fucking meant to be there in the first place! I would rather bow to a fucking human than that barren of a mate you have!”

“Emily!” I growled, raising my claws in the air.

Emily didn’t do as much as flinch.

She raised her burning gaze to the sharp claws in the air and looked into my eyes.

“Do it, Talon. Cut me fucking down and take my head to your fucking mate!” She gritted through her teeth, with so much anger, it snapped me out of my daze.

I realized I was wrong.
