Chapter 31: Avalyn's POV "This is treason, Avalyn. If someone else sees this with you, they will consider it treason! Do you know how long we have all been waiting for an heir to be born to King Talon?" I felt tears begin to build at the corners of my eyes. My hands started shaking and the pills dropped off my hands. Cassie wasn't shouting or yelling, but each word she said sank deep into my soul. I had managed to get Talon to let me leave, what if he had seen this with me, what would have become of me? "It isn't mine... I swear..." I choked as the first of the tears dropped down my cheeks. "I... We— it was on the ground and I thought it was a sort of supplement for pregnant women...." I tried to explain despite the large lump that sat in my throat. If she didn't believe me, she would tell Greg and he would tell Talon, then that would be my end. "I swear I was going to ask Sara about it. I didn't plan on taking it... I— I was going to ask Sara... Please believe me..." Dawn stepp

Chapter 33: Talon's POV I left the door open and returned to the room to put some clothes on. My frown permanently sat on my face as I fought with the pants and finally the shirt that followed. "Alpha Trevor and Montgomery are here?" Willow asked and I grunted a reply. Suddenly I felt her soft hands on my back and I felt my inside soften at her action. I turned to her and she cupped my face between her hands. "Talon, you know we need them for the war against the rogues. Play nice," she said and placed a soft kiss on my lips. "I know Montgomery is going to try his best to get on your nerves, the boy enjoys it. Please just try to ignore him," she added. I pulled her face closer and kissed her deeply. "I'll do anything for you my love," I whispered as I kissed her again. She chuckled against my kiss before pushing me away. "Our guests are waiting." I groaned against her lips and reluctantly pulled away from her. I moved to the door and found Greg waiting with a smirk on his face.

Chapter 35: Avalyn's POV The garden became silent and I could pick out the sound of everyone's breathing as they all watched Talon's reaction. The queen suddenly cleared her throat, breaking the impending silence as she held Talon's arm. "What my King means is that Avalyn here is only but a maid. Alpha Trevor wouldn't want his heir to get mated with a common maid, will he?" she said glaring at me and each word that left her lips felt like whiplashes against my heart. "My father doesn't incriminate positions and besides, I really like her. Can she join us for the banquet later tonight?" Monty asked as his hold on me grew tighter. I could feel the heat of Talon's gaze upon our intertwined hands and the queen's cold glare fighting over who got to vaporize me first. Trevor let out a sigh as a smile covered his face. "My king, with all due respect. Since the girl is an ordinary maid, let her spend some time with Monty at the banquet. It will mean a lot to me," the man said and my heart

Chapter 37: Avalyn's POV My body shivered under his kisses as I leaned into him, craving for more. At the table earlier, I was so embarrassed that I felt like a small rat between them but right now, as Talon kissed me so obsessively, I couldn't help but yearn for him. It was wrong because he belonged to another but my heart was beating for him. When Monty had asked me if I had found my mate, I lied when I told him that I didn't. Because I did. I have fallen in love with the King of Werewolves and no matter how much I tried to forget about him, I couldn't bring myself to do it. He was mated to another which meant he loved another but I couldn't stop my heart from beating for him. I couldn't stop my core from aching for him. “No one else has the right to touch you here...” He hissed as his rough palms tore open the top of my dress. "You don't know how much I wanted to do this..." His voice was so hoarse, my core was already dripping before he even started. "Hmm," I moaned as he s

Chapter 39: Avalyn's POV My hand suddenly felt heavy as I slowly dropped it. He wasn't happy to see me. Did something happen? But we were fine last night. What could have gotten into him? Sadness covered my face and my heart felt like it was drowning. Last night was one of the best nights of my life. I thought things were going to be better between us but the look he gave me... Threw every hope I had down the drain. 'Get a hold of yourself Avalyn! He belongs to someone else!' my subconscious reminded me. "Earth to Avalyn! Earth to Avalyn!" Dawn called, waving a hand in front of me. "Huh?" I said turning back to her. "You naughty girl, you are falling for the king aren't you?" She asked and my cheeks turned pink at once. "No!" I cried out rushing to shut her lips with my hands. Who knew who was around us? "I am not! How can I be?" I retorted and she broke into laughter. "Well, I am sure you will confess all your naughty deeds very soon! Come on, let's go get something to eat,
