The Lycan King’s Breeder

Chapter 24: Talon’s POV

I was buried in the paperwork on my table when the door to my study burst open and Greg popped his head inside.

“The councilwoman Elizabeth is here,” he said.

My eyes went to the clock above his head and confirmed that it was indeed afternoon. I have spent a long time studying.

I packed up the reports and got on my feet. “I hope she doesn’t anger me anymore today. I have had enough of her,” I mumbled as I moved out of the room.

“She seems remorseful enough to me. She regrets her actions. I am sure she wouldn’t try something silly,” Greg assured me as we started heading to the throne room.

“Did any of her sons receive injuries?” I asked, remembering that I instructed her sons to join Walter at the war front.

Greg stared at me from the corners of his eyes and I could see the smile he was trying to hide. I know that he was happy about my decision to send the young boys to war but it was the only thing I could do to teach her a lesson other than killing her in cold blood in front of everyone.

A better choice, if anyone thought about it properly.

“Oh, not really. The first was a bit shaken up but the second boy willingly signed up even after the rogues got neutralized.”

Now I understood why he had that smile on his face. This must have been very frustrating for Elizabeth who thought the war was for barbarians -silly woman.

“How is she taking it?” I asked as we took the glass path.

Greg let out a grin. “She would probably want to speak about that. The poor woman is horrified.”

I let out a satisfactory chuckle. What a perfect predicament!

She thought it was fine for other people’s children to put their lives on the line while hers got fattened by the food she gave them on a regular basis.

“Which reminds me, how are your boys, Ethan and Nathan?”

Unlike Elizabeth, Cassie -Greg’s mate wanted her boys to be as strong as their father. She wanted them to grow into strong soldiers that could protect the land from harm.

A smart choice if you ask me.

“Ethan has gotten over his transformation problems. Now, we have another problem, the house can’t contain them anymore. They are changing everywhere and breaking everything!” Greg hissed.

I chuckled at his dilemma but deep down, I wished I had problems like that. I wish I had my own boys that I could train and stress out about.

As my eyes moved over the garden as we passed it, something caught my attention. Almost like the answer to my problems -Avalyn.

My cock clenched in my pants and I hissed out gaining Greg’s attention to what I was staring at -maybe not exactly what I was staring at but he got the picture.

Avalyn was in the garden playing with Dawn, his sister. But that wasn’t the problem.

Avalyn was wet and her dress clung to her skin, exposing those firm hardened nipples to the entire castle. It was my private garden but the thought of someone else getting a view of her perfect breast angered me.

‘Mine!’ my wolf growled and before I could stop myself, I made a demi turn and headed to the garden rather than the throne room.

“You are cheating!” Avalyn giggled and the sound of her laughter sank into my head like a coin in an empty glass.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

My anger melted and I froze in place. She was so beautiful. So innocent.

Her wet hair slapped her face as she ran away from Dawn shrieking happily like a child on Christmas night. She ran straight into me causing my heart to stop beating.

“What do you think you are doing?” Greg snapped at them while I remained lost in the bubble of Avalyn’s existence.

She looked up at me and panic flashed in her eyes as she made to move back but I was faster.

I held her in place, using my body to cover her chest. Her nipples were still exposed and I didn’t want anyone to see them, not even her friend.

“Dawn! I asked you a question, who permitted you to come here?!” Greg roared but I raised my free hand at him.

“I did,” I said, staring into her enchanting green eyes.

Goddess, this wasn’t fair. She was too beautiful.

“My king,” Dawn said with a bow.

I took off my coat and draped it on her shoulder ignoring the glare Greg was passing to me. I finished covering her up and stepped back.

Avalyn held the coat but her eyes remained lowered.

“Go back to your room and make sure the next time you step out, you have underwear on,” I growled into her ear.

“Yes-yes my king,” She stuttered and my cock twitched at the sound of her voice.

I wanted so much to abandon everything I had planned for the day and take her to that room myself. I wanted to feel her soft folds again but I had guests and the look Greg and his sister were giving me was enough to snap me back to my senses.

“Leave!” I growled loud enough for everyone to hear.

Dawn immediately came to her side and pulled her back to her blanket where they had leftover food spread out.

I turned away at that point. If I continued watching her, I was going to do something silly. I retraced my step and headed to the throne room.

I could feel Greg’s question like a knife to my throat but he stayed silent till we got to the throne room and Elizabeth who had been sitting jumped to her feet.

“My King,” She said with a lowered head.

I moved to my seat and waved her off. “State your business.” I wanted to leave as soon as possible and return to Avalyn.

“My King, I wanted to apologize for my lack of control the other day… Please accept my humble apologies,” She said with another bow.

She clapped her hands as she straightened up. Her maids -two of them- stepped in and brought two gift bags -that she could have carried on her own just fine.

I controlled the urge to roll my eyes at her attitude as she took the gift bags from them and stepped forward to present them to me.

“My King, please here is a small token of my gratitude and the safety of my boys…” She said stretching her hand with the gifts.

I waved them in the direction of Greg instead and she moved to him.

“I can’t control the outcome of a war, Councilwoman Elizabeth,” I said, adjusting on my seat. “If your boys made it back alive, you should thank the goddess for her mercy and maybe one of them is destined to be a soldier,” I said with a grin.

Her eyes flashed with sudden pain as if I had touched the point she truly wanted.

“My King, that is another reason why I came to you. I need your help. My second boy, he has changed…” She explained making funny scowls with her face like she had seen a monster in her son.

“He wants to become a soldier and no matter how much I scold him, he won’t listen… Please, ask Walter to reject him in the army. I would die if my boy was constantly in the face of danger!” She cried out.

Greg was struggling to keep a straight face by my side as the woman dramatically explained her predicament.

“Well, councilwoman Elizabeth, I am sure you know I can’t change the rules of the army. A volunteer can’t be sent away unless they commit a crime…”

“… I am certain your dear boy isn’t of questionable character, how can Walter refuse him?” I asked placing a hand on my chin to complete the worried look I was trying to pull up.

“My King, please… I am sure there is a written order you can give. You are the king! Everything you say stands!”

I narrowed my eyes at her and she took a step back in fear. “Councilwoman, are you asking me to misuse my authority for your son?”

Her eyes flashed with panic and then slowly dispersed and were replaced with a deep rage.

“You do not know the pain of bearing children. So I don’t blame you, you wouldn’t understand, maybe never will!”

“Elizabeth!” Greg roared before I could even react.

The amusement I felt left my body at once as I stared back at her.

Her face slowly became horrified and just as she did at the meeting, she dropped to her feet and started pleading for her life but I didn’t have it in me to do anything.

Her words had hurt more than she could ever think.

I slowly got to my feet and started heading toward the exit. My heart wasn’t even beating anymore. It was dead.

I was insulted because I didn’t have a child; I was humiliated by this silly woman because she felt I wouldn’t understand the pain of losing a child when I had none.

As I got closer to her, she covered her face with her fears and she thought I was going to come at her. But I passed on and got to the entrance.

“Beta!” I called and he quickly responded with authority.

“Yes, My King!”

“Throw this woman in the dungeon until we think of a befitting punishment for her insult!” I spat and walked out of the room.
