AVA KILLIAN

Ava’s voice broke through the chaos, her tone defiant yet fearful. “Axel, they’re not stopping!” she called out. She had never felt so powerless.

She felt like she was slowing them down as her horse lagged far behind Axel's. She definitely couldn't match his pace—a conqueror who had ridden horses in several wars. She couldn't match up to his speed, even though his right hand was embracing Darcy tightly to his chest and his left hand held the horse's reins. It didn’t slow him down.

And Cahir's men were already closing in on them. "Control your horse. Mount her! Let her know your urgency!" Axel growled from his horse.

Ava yielded to his advice, urging her horse on with the same exclamation he used. "Hiyahh! Hiyahh!" She noticed the pace of her horse picking up, but the flying arrows didn’t help. They whizzed over their heads, threatening to knock her off the horse.

Then, she sensed an eerie presence in the woods. An unnaturally strong fog seemed to cover them. Sudde

    AVA KILLIANAva's face lit up, and her hands found their way around his bulging erection; her heart quickened at the sight. His penis was rock-hard, alive, and breathing, fighting to break free from the restriction of his pants.Even though Axel remained inscrutable and cynical, his cock seemed to have a mind of its own, happily responding to the subtle touches of her tiny hands.Ava felt her heart racing as her half-naked body pressed against his toned frame. She allowed herself to melt into his hot, muscular body, uncertain of what he'd do next. Perhaps he’d push her away, which would totally wreck her already patched heart. Summoning all the courage she had, she gently unzipped his pants and created an entrance for her ravenous hand to travel inside. As she gripped his thick, rock-hard cock, it was warm and getting harder with her touch.Ava realized Axel was still expressionless; he didn’t move, but his hand continued trailing around her burn scars. She swallowed as she caressed h

  • House of the Lycans   Chapter 58: Power Struggle

    AT THE CAPITAL, CENTRAL POWER OF THE ROYAL HOUSE OF LYCANS PALACE HENRI OF BLOODCLAW Henri was furious as he clawed the council table, his eyes filled with dangerous resolve as he grimaced at the faces before him: the Small Council, Lord Ashfold, Kaila, Grand Prince Aric, Vera Cole, and the Grand Maester. Their eyes shifted between one another as Henri prowled around the table, anger clear on his face. “Princess Darcy is missing!” Henri’s voice was a low, seething growl as his gaze swept over the council. “I received word she’s been taken to Cahir at Darksword. Who among you has committed this treachery?” Silence hung thick in the room. No one could speak, yet the tension was like a burning fire. Finally, Henri’s glare landed on Kaila, his eyes narrowing with suspicion. She was the one who desperately wanted Princess Darcy punished and wasn’t satisfied with his rule. “Consort Kaila,” he snarled, “you’re the only one who voiced disagreement with Darcy’s punishment, claiming it

    AXEL VOSS"Shh!" Axel shushed Ava as he sniffed the air and paid attention with his vibrant senses of hearing and smell. He knew immediately that Cahir's men were already closing in on them.“What is it? Cahir’s soldiers?” Ava gasped, her instincts directing her back to the shelter where Darcy lay unconscious. As she tried to run inside the fort, her heart dropped when a savage-looking Delta guard came out of the shelter with Darcy's unconscious body in his arms, and a vicious smile crept onto his face.Axel's face etched with anger and a protective resolve as he tried to jump on the guard, until he saw the glistening knife gently placed at Darcy's neck, which momentarily froze him—Darcy was his hostage.And so fast, they were surrounded by another dozen of Cahir's Delta guards, and then a hysterical laughter cut the tension."Do you think you can escape from me, Axel?" Cahir purred."It is over now, Cahir. Let my girl go, or I’ll stop at nothing to tear you to shreds alive and feed y

  • House of the Lycans   Chapter 60: Evil Schemes

    AT THE CAPITAL, CENTRAL POWER THE ROYAL HOUSE OF LYCANS PALACE HENRI OF BLOODCLAW Henri could not wrap his head around the ridiculousness of it all—how he was quickly accused of this great crime of committing adultery with Vera, the king's concubine, and immediately locked up without the council giving him the benefit of the doubt or a chance to deny the allegation. He wasn't only surprised by the absurdity of it all, but also by how the Council didn’t discuss getting Princess Darcy back. Henri could not imagine what might have gone wrong with that little princess, and her uncle Aric, who was supposed to be enthusiastic about finding her, seemed so relaxed, instead fighting a power struggle. Henri growled as he banged the cell gate continuously. "I need to get out of here and find the Princess! Do you think the king would do this to me if he were here? What is this misplaced priority?" Henri growled loudly, hoping there was anyone from the council behind the dungeon. Just as he ha

    HENRI OF BLOODCLAW It happened so fast that Henri was presented to the court as the moonsaint draped in his robe proceeded."Henri Payne of Bloodclaw Pack you are faced with this grievous allegation of adultery with the king's concubine, how will you answer to this treachery?"Henri’s face burned with indignation as he addressed the court. "This is madness," he spat, casting a fierce look across the assembly. "Instead of wasting time on these fabricated lies, you should be searching for Princess Darcy!"Henri had no time for this little drama brought up by Aric, He was desperate to know the condition of the missing princess, especially since Alpha Axel has been gone for days now and there were no message or orders from him.Axel had told him not to lift a finger since he was gone until he returns back with Ava alive, and now his daughter has been kidnapped to the same enemy he risked his life to deal with.He doesn't know what to decide on, he could have raised armies against the Da

    AVA KILLIAN Ava held onto Axel, who was gradually losing consciousness, but he tried hard to gain control of himself, despite being unable to stand properly. With a single snap, he broke the arrow buried in his arm, closer to his chest, without removing it in order not to lose blood. "We need to get to the Capital before dawn," Axel’s voice was gruff. "You need to rest. I'll check around for help, maybe a traveler, farmer, or anyone! You are poisoned," Ava panicked as Axel held her tightly with a deadly glare. "I can hold on. Let’s get back to the palace now!" he growled. "I could bring help from the palace, Father," Flynn proposed, looking worried for his father, as Axel gently patted his shoulder. "I’ll be fine. We need to get to the palace. Can you mount your Direwolf? They are almost bigger than a pony. They are safer than the enemy's horse," Axel questioned, as the lethality of the poison coursed through his bloodstream, causing excruciating pain. He was drenched in

    AVA KILLIANAva watched as the Grand Maester and the physicians tended to Alpha Axel in his chamber. He was lying there unconscious, and just beside him was Darcy. The Grand Maester had checked her and told Ava she was merely in a state of shock due to the cruel number of acupuncture needles used on her, and she would recover soon.This gave Ava a breath of relief as the Grand Maester continued to decoct the poison antidote. Though he had given Axel a series of neutralizers, the physician worked on the several fatal injuries on his body.All the injuries were inflicted by Cahir: the unhealed gashes from the Death Pit and the wound from the poisoned arrow that took him down.As the physician removed the arrow, which was about an inch deep into his arm, Ava's heart ached while the other nurses applied pressure.Suddenly, a familiar voice shot into the room."Oh! My king, you are back! Thank the Goddess, I have been so worried—you can't imagine to what extent," Kaila exclaimed as she dra

    AVA KILLIAN "You'll do no such thing," a voice broke in—it was Henri's. Ava could see the shock on Kaila's face when she heard Henri walk into the room. Shouldn't Henri be dead by now? "You! You? How did you escape?" Kaila asked, her brows furrowed. "You should leave, Kaila. The king's health is paramount. Don't yell here," Henri said. "You can't tell me what not to do! Let this woman be locked up at once! You do not have the authority to command me around," Kaila yelled as the guards walked toward Ava. Ava stepped backward, seeing that Kaila held significant power over them after being made Queen Consort. "Don't you dare touch the king's..." Henri started but paused, thinking of what to call Ava—whether the king's slave or mate. The king hadn't yet pronounced her his mate. "Don't touch her!" Henri simply said, and the guards halted. Jared Ashtower came in and slipped his hand into Ava's. The slight touch sent shivers down her spine as she looked up at his handsome face. "I'll

    AVA KILLIAN Axel cock gently buried deeply inside her cunt, its hardness and thickness burning her vaginal outer flesh and inside her pussy all at the same time. Whimpers. Muffled Cries, and little to no movement at all. She bit her lower lips, hoping to divert her brain to another pain, but the drilling of Axel's cock in her cunt could not be overlooked. Axel stopped midway; he didn't remove his penis; it was still thick, bare, raw, and buried inside of her, her vagina clenched tightly around its thickness. As he moved forward, stretching his hand towards the red linen on the table, that slight movement abruptly made his shaft pierce her wall internally, and she yelled a loud cry that echoed the room. Tears fell from her face non-stop. She was red, her pussycat was hot, and her boobs were hard and red, battered with the pinching of his fingers. Red with the squeezes of his big palm. “Shhh..." He hushed her down, and before she knew it, she saw red linen in her eyes, and then h

    AXEL VOSS "I said strip." Axel's voice was low and warm at the back of Ava's ear, which made her pretend to wonder what he meant again when she had stripped to only her pants, her breast, and her already hard nipples were bare to his cold eyes to rave. "If I do it for you. You'd not like yourself when I'm done." Axel said, Ava swallowed hard as she dragged her pants down; she felt the breeze on her folds opening as she bent, which was quite relaxing. And she feared the next thing her folds would feel was pain, as Axel would most definitely be reckless like the previous day. “Now lean to the table and spread your legs." His order was clear as he walked some steps to his shelves. Ava knew what was up for her, and she wouldn't dare not do what he had just ordered before he came back. She bent and leaned her upper body on the table, like a meal served, her breasts pressed on the surface, her stomach pressed on the surface too, and her groin area around the edge. She slightly spread

  • House of the Lycans   Chapter 79: “Strip”

    AXEL VOSSAxel leaned back in his chair, his expressionless gaze fixed on Ava as she stood at the center of his study. She looked small, like prey cornered by a predator, her hands clasped at her sides as though they could shield her from what was coming. Yet, even in her vulnerability, she exuded a beauty that burned into him—her femininity, breathtaking and utterly maddening.At her provocatively revealing figure, his cock hardened in his pants like his hatred for her. She affected him in ways he liked and despised.How could someone so gorgeous be so venomous? So cunning? Ava was her father’s daughter in every way that mattered—mad, cruel, sick, and ambitious. She had inherited more than just his blood; she had taken his insanity, his callousness, and wrapped them in a guise of grace and elegance.And now she was passing those traits to his children. He needed to stop her, but it was a challenge. Axel couldn’t stop Ava from seeing the sextuplets. The children had known her for six

    AXEL VOSS "Don't lie to me Ansel, look at my face." “I… I didn’t mean anything by it,” he mumbled. “I just said—”“You just said what?” Axel interrupted, his voice rising slightly.Ansel hesitated, then blurted, “I called him a bastard, but it was a joke!” Kaila took a deep relief of pent up breath, if he had mentioned her name she can't predict what Alpha Axel would do to her.The room erupted into murmurs, but Axel silenced them with a single raised hand. His fury was palpable now, his jaw clenched so tightly that his teeth threatened to crack.“A joke, you say?” Axel’s tone was ice. “And where did you learn such a word? Who taught you to mock your brother like this?”Kaila stepped forward hastily. “My king, surely you cannot blame the boy—”“I need to know and i will hold those responsible accountable,” Axel snapped, his gaze cutting through her. “This is not a word a child learns on his own.”"This shouldn't be about the joke of two little brothers, this should be about the vi

    AVA KILLIAN As Ava feared, Kaila wouldn’t let it end there. The King had summoned her and Cavil to his study at once. Her heart pounded in her chest. Would Alpha Axel expose her to Cavil? The mere thought made her stomach twist. What would her son think if he learned the truth about her? That his mother wasn’t just flawed, but a sinner—a babe-slayer. It would shatter him, create a void in their always full life, life they had so carefully built together. A life she had fought so hard to keep full and warm despite the shadows of her past. No. She couldn’t let that happen. Ava prayed Axel wouldn’t force her to confess everything now, especially not in front of the Sextuplets. She wasn’t ready for their judgment, for their faces to twist with betrayal. She needed more time. Time to prepare herself. Time to figure out what came next. Now wasn’t the moment to be exiled from their lives. She had come to terms with being punished in secret. She could live with the damnation, the

    AVA KILLIAN“You lost! You thieving bastard, the son of a sinner whore.”Ansel cursed with a smirk, leaving Ava shocked to the bone. Before she could gather her thoughts, Cavil, who had a tough time managing his anger, struck Ansel on the face with his bow. Ansel fell to the ground with a bleeding cut and a scream.Ansel’s scream echoed through the field, sharp and pathetic, as everyone witnessed what Cavil had done to his half-brother. Blood trickled from the gash on his cheek as he writhed on the ground, his small hands clutching his face.“My son! The Crown Prince!”Kaila let out a piercing shriek, rushing to her son’s side with a flurry of panicked energy. “Ansel! My poor boy! What has this savage done to you?” she cried, cradling him in her arms as if he were gravely injured.Her voice cracked with overly exaggerated anguish as her gaze snapped toward Ava and Cavil. She quickly glanced around, making sure everyone was witnessing this—that everyone saw her son was injured by his j

    AVA KILLIAN Vera pat young lord Dawn's shoulder just before the boy ran along with his peers, she stood glancing at Ava, Ava didn't age one bit since the last time she saw her at the pavilion after 6 years, Her beauty wouldn't stop irking her, it is a cheat, having the blood of the Lycans and not being able to age older in look was a cheat... This cheat she secretly envied and wished she was a Lycan Princess like Ava Killian and remain alluring as Ava. The royal archery teacher clapped his hands to gather the crowd’s attention. “We will begin the contest now. Prince Cavil and Prince Ansel, take your positions. Three shots each. The one with the most accurate and consistent aim will win. The loser will relinquish their place in this archery class.” Jared quickly pressed close to Ava, "I'm saying again.. a single order from only Ser. Henri could fix Prince Cavil in this class, you don't have to do this if he loses he'd not be allowed in." Jared said. "I've promised to make my chil

    AVA KILLIAN "How about we judge by skill? Let the princes compete in archery. Whoever loses will withdraw from the archery lessons." Ava’s voice rang clear, her gaze stoic and demanding. The murmurs of the gathered nobles fell silent as eyes darted to Kaila. Kaila's face darkened, her lips curling into a tight sneer. Ava could see the storm brewing in her rival’s eyes, that flicker of rage barely contained. "What? Do you think you have a say here?" Kaila’s voice sliced through the air, hatred and resentment dripping from every word. "I am the Queen Consort, and you will remain silent when I speak!" The force of her tone would have made a weaker woman shrink, but Ava stood confident, refusing to be cowed once more, Even if she could not fight for herself when she was bullied by Kaila years ago, she could at least fight for her son's right, so to channel the mama bear power and fight for her son. Cavil is so passionate about Archery and she sees no reason why her ow

    AVA KILLIAN The next morning Ava stood before the mirror in her room, the light seeping from the open winding casting on her as her fingertips traced her neck and collarbone, searching for the bruises Alpha Axel had left the previous night whist trying to force her to confess who had burnt, and who instilled that panic of fire in her.His tortures, bruises and hickeys wouldn't make her tell him anything, knowing she doesn't have enough evidences and the way he's known her as a cunning spider, he wouldn't believe her if she told him it was Kaila's doing.She would rather keep this card and use against Kaila in the future, perhaps to threaten her. Than rather wasting it by telling Alpha Axel now and she wouldn't be believed.Using it against Kaila sounds reasonable instead.She bit the inside of her cheek, willing herself not to cry, seeing the scars from the fire and the painful memory it brought back, Though Alpha Axel had ordered his royal physician to deal with all the scars, that
