Chapter 5: Talon's POV
As I looked at the girl from a distance, my wolf chose her. She wasn't perfect, but she would do. I had caught her scent earlier that evening as I made my run around the open fields of the castle. It was so strong that I couldn't ignore it. I reached the human town and watched from behind the trees as she walked with a box in her hand. She felt my gaze upon her and I watched as she foolishly ran off.
"Humans..." I scoffed. They were so stupid most of the time. If I really wanted to take her at that very moment, she couldn't stop me. Not her run and even her willpower. They were all the same, puppets and completely helpless.
I suddenly felt rage build up in my core, and at that moment, I was overwhelmed with desire. I didn't know where it came from, but I decided it was going to feel amazing, fucking her pathetic little body. I calmly traced her scent to the house she had entered. From my position in the tree line, I saw her cower against the wall as a feeble man kicked at her. I cocked my head and found it strange. She wasn't running away, and neither was she calling for help. She just sat there and let the man beat her up.
At that moment, I started doubting my wolf. How could it pick someone so weak and helpless? She couldn't even help herself through her pathetic situation. How could she bear my children?! It was a hard gamble to play, and if anything went wrong, my wolf was solely the one I would blame here.
The girl felt my presence again, and she caught my eyes, but I had seen enough. Since my wolf wanted her, it was only better I took her before her parents broke her. I turned back as fast as lightning and returned to my castle. The gates were heavily guarded, but every warrior and beyond knew my wolf like the back of their hand; they wouldn't dare stop me. I passed through them and ignored the way they bowed in fear — not necessarily respect.
Rather than going to my chambers, I turned to find someone else, Greg. I transformed into my human form and walked along the paved path until I reached his office. Knowing Greg, he was working late. I pounded my fist against the door once, and it opened immediately.
"Talon?!" Greg asked in surprise. "Seeing you twice in one day when there isn't a national emergency isn't a very good sign. What's up?"
I pushed past him and walked into the office. I pulled the visitor's chair and lowered myself into it.
"When is the exchange day with the humans?" I asked, disregarding his comment.
Greg was shocked at my question because he, of all people, knew how much that day disgusted me. If it was up to me, all the humans would have been dead by now. They were no good to themselves!
"Talon, is there a problem?"
"I found a breeder, and I want you to go retrieve her for me as soon as possible. Her parents don't seem to like her a lot, so the transaction shouldn't be a problem. I want her in this castle by tomorrow." I ordered.
Greg slowly walked to his seat and picked up a paper. "If you are certain her parents won't be a problem, I don't think we need to push for the exchange day. I can go to them first thing in the morning and propose the bargain," He proposed.
He wrote something on the paper in front of him and passed it to me.
"What's her name? Description and all of that..." He stated, pointing to the paper.
I rolled my eyes and pushed the paper back to him. "I don't know her name. But the house is the fifth in a row when you access the town from the fields. It's the only brown-roofed house in the area," I said and got up.
I was still stark naked, and my cock still needed attention. I had to go meet Willow.
"Okay, consider it done," Greg replied, quickly jotting down the address himself.
As I reached the door, a thought struck me, and I turned back to Greg. "She has striking green eyes and long, dark hair... You won't mistake her when you find her," I emphasized before exiting his office.
Walking in the direction of the garden, I moved at a leisurely pace, savoring the fragrant aroma of the freshly bloomed flowers. The council meeting loomed on the horizon, and for everyone's sake, I hoped no one dared to broach the sensitive topic of Willow's inability to bear me a child, for I was prepared to confront any such utterance with extreme measures.
I ascended the stairs, moving swiftly toward my chambers. Upon entering the corridor, I was immediately greeted by the captivating scent of Willow in our room, intensifying the desire that had been stirred by my encounter with the human girl earlier.
Contemplating whether or not to share my discovery with her, I decided it might be wiser to withhold this information until Greg arrived with the girl. Pushing the door open, I was met with the enchanting sight of Willow's emerald eyes.
"Where have you been, Talon?" She gracefully rose from the bed and approached me, her elegance evident in every step.
Closing the door behind me, I stood there, awaiting her approach. Her flowing dress trailed behind her, casting her in an ethereal light as she moved gracefully under the moon's gentle embrace, which filtered through the room's expansive windows.
"You smell of humans, my love," her exquisite countenance furrowed into a concerned frown as she reached across my bare chest. "What happened?"
I took her hand and brought it to my lips, planting a gentle kiss on her knuckles, followed by a small, reassuring grin.
"Nothing happened, my love. I just went for a run..." I whispered.
Her brows remained furrowed as she scrutinized my body as if searching for any hidden secrets. "The council meeting is tomorrow. Are you worried about that?" She gazed up at me with those captivating eyes of hers, and in an instant, my anger dissipated.
I would move mountains for Willow if it meant protecting her. "I am the Lycan King. I don't have to concern myself with anyone's opinion," I asserted while showering more kisses on her knuckles. "As I told you earlier, anyone who dares to utter a word against you will meet their end before they can finish their nefarious plans." My eyes sparkled with determination as my inner wolf embraced my declaration. I had no intention of sitting in that throne room and tolerating the disrespect directed at my mate by cowardly men.
Willow graced me with her priceless smile, and then, rising on her toes, she planted another sweet kiss on my lips. Then she moved her lips to my ears. "You should take a shower. There is something I want to show you," she said.
My cock twitched in response and I kissed the side of her head. "Is that all you want?" I groaned.
She took a step back and hugged herself. "I'll be waiting," she teased and walked back to the large bed, watching me.
I could take her right there and then, but I didn't want her to be uncomfortable while slam her to the core.
I quickly rushed to the bathroom, determined to take the fastest shower of my life. With determination, I lathered up with her favorite soap, vigorously scrubbing away the sweat clinging to my body. As soon as I was done, I wrapped a towel around my waist and headed back to the bedroom. My eyes narrowed as I found her lying on the bed, her beautiful figure completely naked waiting for me.
Her legs were spread apart and she had two of her fingers buried deep inside her soft folds. Her breasts were round and firm as she stared back at me.
"You are cheating," I growled as I joined her on the bed.
"Am I?" she moaned pulling my head to give me a kiss.
My hands brushed against her left breast and she smiled at me with those beautiful green eyes.
"What was it you wanted to show me? I am here now..." I pushed her hand deeper into her core and she swallowed down the cries that threatened to escape her lips.
She spread her legs even wider giving me an amazing show. And then she corked her head to the side and I watched as her long, beautiful hair flowed to one side of her shoulders. "How long can you watch me pleasure myself?" She whispered as she continued to touch herself.
I hissed, pulling her hand out of her all of a sudden. "Zero seconds! Why would I want to watch you pleasure yourself when I was here... What would my purpose be if not please you, my love?"
She licked her lips seductively as she watched me. "Hmm, turn around," she said and I frowned.
"What?"
"Turn around, my king," She repeated, changing the wheels of control in my head.
Her voice was so sexy and demanding, I couldn't resist it. I was usually the one leading, but tonight, I let her take the reigns. I slowly turned around and waited patiently for her to do her thing.
"Lay on your stomach and raise your ass for me, my king," she added and I gave her a questioning stare.
"Really?"
"Yes, my king... Just give it to me... Please," she added and I felt my wolf almost surface in anticipation.
My cock was already dripping juices and the longer I waited, the harder it was for me to let her control tonight.
I did what she said and waited. She didn't begin right away. She waited for my patience to run out before she moved.
I felt her hot lips around my thick cock but from behind. The sensation hit differently at once.
"Hmmm, Talon... You taste so good..." Her sweet voice hung in the air, pulling me into a bubble that only she could create.
Even in my next life, Willow will always be my mate because she sure knows how to make me happy.
