The Lycan King’s Breeder

Chapter 42: Talon’s POV

I managed to send Jared out of the room and resigned to enjoy a peaceful night’s rest.

As soon as the rays of the sun seeped through the curtains the next morning, Jared returned with a mischievous smile on his face.

“Good morning my Talon,” he beamed, bringing himself to sit on the bed. “Hope you had a wonderful night’s rest?”

I glared at him and pushed myself out of bed.

“Don’t you have pack duties to attend to?” I asked as I pushed the door to the bathroom open so I could wash my face and prepare for the day.

“I am doing it right now. I have the honor of hosting the Lycan King of the land in my castle, of course, my first duty will be to entertain him,” he said while wiggling his brows like a kid.

The door to the bathroom was wide open, so I could see all of his actions.

“And you think pestering me with questions is entertainment?” I scoffed, glaring at his form on the bed.

“Aish,” He said, kissing his tongue to his teeth, “you don’t think of this as entertainment? When was the last time someone got the balls to even pester you, Talon? Half your subjects are too scared!”

A smirk settled on my face as I looked at my reflection in the mirror. He had a point. No one in my Kingdom would dare speak to me as freely as he was and not end up dead.

I finished brushing my teeth and stepped out to join him on the bed. It was too early for breakfast and he was too noisy for me to get back some sleep. The best I could do was listen to him.

“Now, back to the questions. You didn’t give me a name last night? What’s her name? This beautiful breeder of yours?” He asked, nudging me on the side.

I wanted to reprimand him but I decided against it. Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad if I opened up to someone at least.

“Your subjects should be ashamed to have an alpha like you, Jared. Father thought us better,” I hissed, hoping to stir him off.

“My dear uncle will be so proud that I am taking good care of you and Emily. One would think I am older, you know…” A chuckle resonated from his throat and I found myself smiling too.

I missed those early days of our lives when we were little and all we cared about was who was going to hit the bull’s eye first in a competition…

“Tell me Talon. What is she like?” Jared was never going to give up.

I placed my hand on my chest and fell backward onto the bed. “Avalyn is… She is innocent and peaceful, all in one beautiful package,” I whispered.

“You got attracted to her beauty? I thought Willow had enough beauty in the world for you?” He mocked but I waved him off.

“The first time I saw Avalyn, it wasn’t her beauty. It was the pain that was hidden within her…”

“Wait, is she human? I hear she is human?” Jared asked as he plopped himself up by resting on his hand.

“She is human Jared… The best of her kind…”

“Hmm, she must have the best pussy too. I was-” the glare I shot him made him seal his lips at once.

Silence fell between us and I found myself thinking about her. Avalyn was so beautiful. Words couldn’t even begin to describe her.

Her beauty wasn’t just in her face or her body, it was more in the tiny things she did. The way she laughed. The way she pulled at her fingers when she was anxious about something. The way she bit down on her lower lip when she felt shy…

All of these small things drove me crazy.

“I feel like my wolf is tearing apart…” I whispered and Jared paused.

“What do you mean?” He asked in a serious tone. “Is something wrong with her?”

“No, there is nothing wrong with Avalyn except that, she is too perfect…” I said and clutched my heart. “I love Willow. She is my mate but Avalyn, I feel something really strong for her… Something that I have never felt with Willow before.”

“I would’ve asked you to reject Willow but your bond will probably kill you… And you will give me that look,” He said as I glared lasers into his face.

“Didn’t you hear what I said?” I hissed.

He shifted his weight to a different hand and smiled at me. “You deserve a more flexible relationship Talon. Not one where you toil day and night for your partner but she gives nothing in return. All she wants is more gold and more love but gives back nothing.”

His words sank into my head but in the end, I pushed them aside. Willow was my everything. Avalyn was just a phase. She would pass.

“She is pregnant…” I whispered instead.

Jared’s eyes almost bulged out of its socket as he stared back at me with an open mouth. “The troll finally decided to get pregnant?”

“Jared!” I warned and he raised his hands in surrender. But a deep scowl darkened his face.

“Fine, sorry! But wait -Willow is pregnant now and you are sure you aren’t dreaming this up? Did Sara confirm it?” He asked as he sat up straighter.

“Avalyn is the one pregnant! Not Willow!” I growled and his face became bright again.

“Wait, if she is pregnant. What the fuck is Emily still doing here? We need to protect that baby with all we have!” He said and I raised my brows at him.

“You believe in that tradition of sisters taking care of their brother’s mate during pregnancy?” I thought Jared was the free-spirited werewolf, I didn’t know he believed in things like this.

“I believe in anything that will make my nephew healthy and strong! Come on, let’s go for breakfast and break the news to her!” He announced getting to his feet.

“Can’t it wait?” I asked him. I really didn’t have the strength to face my sister. She was a bundle of trouble.

“Did you wait before burying that long cock of yours into the poor human girl?” Jared asked with laughter lacing his voice.

With a ghost of a smile on my face, we walked out of the room till we got to the dining room where we were served a hot meal.

The dining room wasn’t the large one where guests were allowed, it was a private one for the Alpha and his family. So, the only person we were expecting was Emily, my sister.

“Maybe, I should get a human for myself. I hear they are really sweet and warm,” Jared whispered as we sat around the table.

“My King, Alpha Jared,” Aliyah said as she stepped into the room.

She walked to my cousin’s side and whispered something to his ears.

“Do they have to bring it now?” He groaned as he slapped his serviette to the table and got up.

“I am sorry Talon, I have to deal with this. I’ll be right back,” he said, excusing himself.

I nodded my head and watched as they walked out. There was a time I thought he and Aliyah were fucking each other but I found out Aliyah didn’t like men in that light -strange but poor Jared was heartbroken.

I was returning my focus to the food in front of me when I heard footsteps approaching.

“The world’s best brother, how fucking convenient!” Emily hissed as she dropped onto the chair closest to the door.

I looked at her and decided not to respond as she puffed around placing food noisily on her plate. There were strands of pink and green hair on her head plus she also had more piercings on her face than the last time.

There were two pins on her eyebrows and an extra piercing on her nose. Her ears had about four hooks and as she opened her mouth to eat, I noticed the one she had always had on her tongue.

Maybe Greg and Jared were right after all. Sending her to the human world wasn’t helping. She looked even more rebellious than when she left.

“You could start with a proper greeting, Emily,” I said, moving my food to my mouth.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

She relaxed into the chair and dropped her fork. She corked her head to the side and studied my face like she was just truly seeing me now.

“You look brighter than before. Has the witch finally left you?”

“Emily!” I growled, warning her to drop whatever she was about to start.

For the goddess’s sake, was it a crime to have a younger sibling now?

“What?! You wanted a fucking greeting! I am looking out for you.”

“Ah! I see you are finally getting along,” Jared said excitedly as he returned to the room.

Emily rolled her eyes so far into her head, I was certain that it had to be painful to do that.

“I don’t think she is ready to come home, Jared,” I said to him, returning my focus to my plate.

She scoffed. I heard it and ignored it.

“Talon we have spoken about this, Emily needs to take care of our unborn nephew.”

“So it’s true you got a fucking breeder?” Her eyes dimmed as she looked at me waiting for an answer.

I wiped my mouth clean and got up. “I really don’t care what you do, Emily. If you want to come home, the castle doors are open,” I said and started heading out.

I heard both of them talking behind me but I blocked them out. Jared and Emily were a terrible combination whenever they decided to gang up against me. It was best I left them.

As I took the bend to my room, I saw Greg coming toward me at a fast pace. I stopped as I saw the panic in his eyes.

Something was wrong.

“Greg, what’s wrong?” I asked as soon as he got close. My heart was already beating as I thought of the many possibilities of what could have happened.

“Avalyn had an accident…”
