Forgive me
Chapter 32: Talon’s POV
Greg and I were buried in the maps of the area when the door burst open and a breathless Dawn stepped in.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Forgive me My King, but I need to speak to the Beta. It is very urgent,” she said in one rushed breath.
We turned our heads at the same time and as much as I wanted to let him go speak to his sister in private, I had a bitter feeling this had something to do with Avalyn.
“Speak out girl. You don’t need to go into hiding for your voice to be heard,” I growled.
Her eyes flashed in panic as she turned to her brother for help. But he gave one look at me and he knew I was going to change my mind.
He nodded at her and she stepped forward.
“My king, we found a pack of medication at the guard’s quarters that terminates-” she paused and looked up at her brother before swallowing the lump in her throat. “It terminates pregnancies.”
My brows furrowed at the term pregnancy and I straightened up at once. “Where is Avalyn?” I growled as my fist folded on their own accord.
“She is in the clinic, my King and she is fine. The concern is actually for the queen, my king,” She rushed out before I could ask something else.
“Willow?” Her name left my lips before I could stop it.
Just a few days ago, I asked Sara about the cause of her miscarriages so we could at least find a way to prevent it from happening to Avalyn. And now this surfaced…
“Has this matter been taken to Sara?” I asked.
“Yes, my King. The medication in question is also with her. I only came to inform the Beta so that security measures can be taken to protect the queen. I have reasons to believe it fell out of the hands of her handmaidens,” the girl added.
“Did you see them?” Greg asked behind me.
Her eyes flashed to her brother and then a frown covered her features. “I did. But, Cassie says this medication can not be purchased by an ordinary pack member,” she explained.
Yet my mind had gone to another place. Could someone have been killing my children all this while?
“Greg, handle this. I need to talk to Willow,” I said and walked out of the room.
Something wasn’t right.
“Of course, my king,” Greg replied behind me.
I marched straight to my room and I found Willow standing by the balcony. She must have seen me coming and if she didn’t, then she must have heard me. Yet she refused to turn around.
Her eyes remained out and she acted like she couldn’t feel my presence.
I knew she was still bothered about the time I spent with Avalyn but this wasn’t about that.
I walked to the balcony and rested against it just like she did.
“Willow, we need to talk,” I whispered loud enough for her to hear me.
Without sparing me a glance, she said, “If this is about your breeder, I am not interested.”
My eyes dimmed at her reply but I held back my anger. This was not the time to get angry at her. We had greater problems.
“Who are the maids responsible for your feeding?” I asked instead.
She turned to look at me as the question reached her ears. Her blue eyes sparkled a brighter shade as the sun reflected in her eyes.
“Why are you suddenly concerned about my maids?” She asked and I felt my heart split at the tone of her voice.
“Is it wrong for me to be concerned about you now?” I whispered and she blinked away.
She crossed her hands over her chest and pursed her lips. “I don’t know Talon,” she said in a broken voice turning to stare out the balcony again.
“I don’t know anything anymore Talon,” she sniffled and turned around again. “What’s happening to us?”
Her question felt like an arrow in my heart.
I closed up the distance between us and held her in my arms. “Nothing is happening to us, my love. Willow, I still love you…” I whispered as I kissed her forehead.
She held on tight to me and as the wetness from her eyes covered my chest, my heart tore into two. I never wanted to bring her pain. It was never my intention.
I loved Willow more than life itself. She meant the whole world to me.
“Willow, please, do not cry,” I whispered as I held her jaw and raised her face.
Her beautiful eyes were sealed shut as she fought back the tears that drained down her silky skin.
I placed a kiss on her lips and traced all of the tears away with my lips.
“Look at me Willow,” I whispered and she shook her head. “It is breaking me inside watching you like this, please my love, open your eyes,” I pleaded with her.
She fluttered them open and I melted in her gaze. My heart clutched as pain slapped my very soul. How could I hurt my mate like this?
All she ever wanted was for me to have an heir, she did nothing wrong.
“Willow, please forgive me for causing you pain. I never meant for any of that to happen. You know how much I love you,” I whispered as I took her hand and placed it over my beating heart.
“This,” I said pressing her hand over my chest. “It beats only for you and no one else. I don’t care about anything… About anyone… Except you.”
She blinked away the stray tears that insisted on trailing down her face and my thumb was fast to wipe them away.
“I don’t care about an heir if it will make you cry. Willow, I don’t want any of that, all I have ever wanted was to make you happy…”
“I love you, Willow…”
She got on her tiptoes and met her lips to mine. I kissed her back with as much passion and our mate bond sizzled around us as we stood there on the balcony sucking and licking our lips as a silent vow to our love for one another.
Her warm hands went to the back of my neck and she clutched me tighter.
My wolf purred within me and I felt my cock twitch as her kisses became even more demanding. I lifted her and she wrapped her legs around me.
Then I led her to the bed. I gently placed her on the bed and started trailing kisses all over her face.
I was such a fool. Everything I wanted in life was in Willow, I didn’t need anyone. I should have never lost focus of that.
She tucked at my shirt and I broke our kiss to take it off. Her fingers moved over my chest and tiny sparkles exploded each place she touched.
“I love you too Talon,” she whispered before her lips claimed mine once again.
My hands went to the rope keeping her dress together. I pulled it open and the corset around her waist fell to the bed, exposing her ample breasts to me.
Hungrily, I took them into my mouth and started sucking and licking enjoying the sultry feel of it.
She grabbed my hair and my pulse quickened as my primal instincts took over. I tore open her dress and let my hands explore her body like the very first time we made love.
My fingers went to her wet folds and I started thrusting in and out of her, stretching her until it was wet enough to take my full size.
“Oh, Talon… I have missed you…” She moaned as I rubbed my cock against her folds.
Her nails dug into my back and my wolf purred in satisfaction as my thick member went deep inside her.
She curled her hands around my neck and wrapped my legs around my waist like she never wanted me to leave her.
“I love you, Willow…” I whispered and she opened her eyes to look back at me.
“I love you too Talon…” she said and I claimed her lips again.
My waist rolled into her, hitting and stretching every corner of her body till all my wolf thought of was her sweet scent. I was totally lost in her love.
She shook as her orgasm hit her stronger than it had ever done. I came right after her and for the first time in weeks, I didn’t regret pouring all of my seed deep inside her.
We stayed this way, curdling ourselves like when we first fell in love and her beautiful face reminded me of the mistake I was about to make by ignoring her.
I almost fell asleep when a sharp knock on my door brought me completely out of sleep. I turned to the door with a pout on my face and Willow smiled at my antics.
“We both know that, can only be Greg, and that means this is urgent. Go take care of it, my King,” she whispered and I nodded in agreement.
I kissed her lips and then smiled at her. “I am only going because you asked me to,” I said and she let out that sweet laughter of hers.
“Thank you, my love,” she whispered, pulling herself away from me.
With a groan, I got out of bed and grabbed a robe. I wrapped it around my body and went to attend to Greg.
“What is it?” I asked with a gruff voice.
Greg’s features were pinched into a frown as he raised his eyes to meet mine and then slowly dropped them to the floor.
“Alpha Trevor and his son are here,” he said and a bitter pang flashed within me.
“I thought they were not supposed to be here until tomorrow?” I whined.
Greg raised his eyes as if to warn me and I rolled mine. I really wasn’t in the mood to welcome anyone at this moment.
“They expect you to welcome them, my king,” he said and like he could read my mind, he added, “it will be considered disrespectful if I have to do it on your behalf, my king.”
