The Lycan King’s Breeder

Chapter 55: Talon’s PoV

It felt like the world had come to a stop and everything went still. The birds and insects in the surrounding forest went silent and even the wind stood.

“What did you say?” I whispered, holding his shoulder.

Surely, I must have heard wrong…

“I am sorry Talon but Avalyn has lost the baby,” Greg replied in a whisper

“No!” I mumbled before I roared. “No!!”

My voice activated the world and everything came back to life in noisy feedback.

It felt like a bomb had gone off in my heart and nothing made sense anymore. I tried to grab unto a meaningful thing but everything felt like liquid.

How could this be possible?

“Where is she?” I howled.

“The clinic…” Greg replied with his head bowed low.

My legs started walking on their own accord in the direction of the clinic. Elizabeth’s boys were long forgotten as the only thing on my mind was how to get to Avalyn.

There had to be a mistake. Sara must have checked the wrong sample.

Just today, I saw the baby. I saw my son in her womb… How could Greg say she had a miscarriage?

People didn’t just miscarry like that. There had to be a mistake because miscarriages came with pain and tears and screams. Not after people laughed…

Avalyn was fine. We were fine. The baby was fine!

My limbs picked up the pace and before I knew it, I was running at full speed. My wolf was fighting between staying under control and exploding to the surface.

If this was true, it was a threat to my existence, hence why my wolf fought for control.

I could hear Greg’s feet a few yards behind me but I couldn’t bring myself to look back.

I had to reach Avalyn. I had to see things for myself.

Dawn and Emily were supposed to fucking take care of her. I would pluck out their eyeballs if that was the case.

I didn’t need incompetent people to watch over my heir. I needed strong people to take care of my heir and its mother.

I would kill them if I had to. It doesn’t matter if one of them was my sister and the other my best friend’s sister.

I burst through the doors and walked at a speed almost close to light till I got to Sara’s office. I kicked her door open and found it empty.

Shit!

I made a turn and headed to the special ward where Avalyn has always been admitted.

As I neared it, I could see the long faces they all carried. Emily was sitting on the floor biting her fingers. Dawn was crying her eyes out and Cassie just stood looking with a blank stare.

The pain on their faces was enough to clear out the angered thoughts I had earlier.

I pushed past them and got into the room. Sara was hugging a teary Avalyn.

The sight broke my heart in more ways than I could manage.

“My King,” Sara sniffled and wiped her tears away as she stepped away from Avalyn.

I didn’t want to look at Avalyn. My eyes moved everywhere around the room except hers.

“What’s going on here?” I growled glaring at her and daring her to tell me what Greg said a while ago.

She sniffled again and then looked down at her feet.

“We have lost the baby,” she whispered.

Thundered broke out within me. But somehow, I held it all in.

“And Avalyn?”

For the first time, I looked at her position on the bed. She had swollen eyes and her cheeks glistened as tears trickled down her neck.

She was pulling her fingers and trying her best to sob quietly.

“She is-” Sara started to say but I interrupted her.

“Not her, I mean her body. Is it good enough to carry another child?”

“Yes, my king. She will only need a few days to rest. I have cleaned her up already,” she whispered.

“Good.” I turned around at once and walked out of the ward.

Greg was leaning on the wall but the moment he saw me he straightened and started coming towards me but I stopped him. “Find out how this happened. I want everyone responsible brought before me and that includes Emily and Dawn!” I hissed before walking out.

I gritted my teeth and pulled my hands into fists. This shouldn’t have happened to me.

The goddess gave me a gift and took it away! Just like she did every single time!

“No!” I roared the moment I got into my room.

I launched my fists into the wall and a deep hole was formed.

“Noo!!” I screamed again, launching another punch into the wall. This time, my fist tore open and the blood stained the fine white wall.

But I cared less!

I would paint the entire room in my blood if it could bring back my son!

“Damn it!”

I roared as my heart shattered into a million pieces. I collapsed onto the floor as tears flowed out of my eyes.

Why was the goddess doing this to me?

Why was she punishing me? Even if I was evil, did she have to do the same to Avalyn?

Was this the price I paid for abandoning the mate she gave me?

I had abandoned Willow. After the fight we had, I didn’t bother checking on her, and look what I got as punishment.

I slapped a hand to my chest, trying to wipe the pain away. But it refused to go away.

I had to atone for my mistakes. I had to atone for my wrongs so the goddess could forgive me.

I got up from the ground and stepped out of the room. Once again, my legs developed a mind of their own and this time, they carried me to Willow’s door.

I was about to knock and my hand froze in midair.

Guilt and shame washed over me.

I was returning to her like a shameless man. When I should have done this a long time ago.

I rested my head on the door and closed my eyes.

I should probably let her be, I told myself.

I was about to peel my ears away when my ears picked up groans from the other end of the door.

“Hmm… Shit!” it said.

I corked my head, trying to comprehend what I heard. Perhaps I was mistaken but I placed my ears again and there it was.

Willow was in pain.

Without thinking twice, I burst through the door and there she was on the bed, rolling in pain.

My heart jumped to my stomach and my legs shook beneath me. What was this?

“Willow! What’s wrong?” I yelled running toward her.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

“I- Talon… Shit! I am-aah! I am fine!” She cried out trying to keep me away.

But at that point, none of my senses were working. All I wanted was for her to be fine.

As I neared her I picked up the scent of blood. She was hurt.

“Willow, talk to me, what happened? Where does it hurt?” I observed her closely, she didn’t have any blood on her yet I could pick up the metallic smell of blood on her.

“It’s- It will go away!” She strained out.

My heart was beating so loud, I could barely hear her. I placed my hand on her forehead and it was warm.

Her skin was reddish and she was sweating all over. Something was wrong.

I have already lost another heir, I wouldn’t lose my mate too.

I picked her up and started running back to the clinic.

“Talon- hmm I am-ahh!” She groaned in pain as tears licked from her eyes.

I have never seen Willow in so much pain. Fear clutched my heart so much, I couldn’t even tell where my heart was beating.

“Get me, Sara!” I yelled at the nurses.

Willow had her ward, on a different corridor from Avalyn. I got to the room and placed her on the bed.

“My King!” Sara came running a few seconds after I had placed Willow on the bed. Two nurses stood behind her.

“Sara, I don’t know, I found her on her bed! Groaning in pain! Please- check her!” I cried helplessly. I didn’t know what to do and that made me even angrier.

Sara nodded and took a step forward. She checked Willow’s eyes, pulling down the bottom lid.

“Give the painkillers and antibiotics,” she called out to the nurses and went straight to work.

They started working on her and I subconsciously took a step back.

I found myself outside and I leaned against the wall, slowly falling onto the bare ground.

My inner soul was empty. I didn’t even know if I should scream or cry. My body was watching but my head refused to work.

What was happening to my life?

I didn’t even realize how long I have been there but as soon as the door opened, I snapped out of whatever force had captured me and walked to Sara.

“How is she? What happened? Where did she get hurt?” I yelled.

Sara dropped her head to the ground and wet her lips.

I grabbed her upper arm and shook her. “What’s wrong with my mate, Sara!?” I growled.

“She is fine now my king. She is fine…” Sara said in a troubled voice.

It was obvious there was more but she was keeping it.

“Sara, what is it? What’s wrong with her? Why was she in pain?” I rained questions upon her, refusing to take the white truth she was throwing at me.

“She miscarried,” Sara said.

“Why was she bleeding-” As the words left my mouth, her answer replayed in my head.

“What did you say?” I asked passing a hand over my hair. “She what?”

Sara swallowed her fears and looked into my eyes. “The queen was also pregnant but she lost the baby too.”

A smile broke onto my face and before long I was laughing my eyes out.

“This is a joke, right?” I asked, wiping the corners of my eyes.
