Avalyn "Are you excited?" Sofiya asked. I looked at myself in the mirror. She had insisted that I put on a white dress because it was a sacred colour for us. Other than that, my appearance was my choice. I had left my hair down, kept my face free of any makeup, save lip balm, and worn brown sandals. While I was getting ready, I had been excited. Now, my stomach was churning. I was nervous and I was dreading what was to come. I knew that shifting into your wolf was a painful experience. And it would be more painful for me because I was late. I could even die. Tonight could very well be my last night. My last night in Jivan. My last night with Master. I released a breath. I wasn't ready for that. Tonight couldn't be my last anything. I had to survive. I had to live. And I needed to be strong for that. I needed to push aside these nerves and embrace what was about to happen. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I had been robbed of. I was getting a do-over and I should have
Avalyn I saw a man arrive with Vladimir and Sofiya by his side. He had dark mahogany skin and shoulder-length dreadlocks. He had a large and muscular frame with tattoos covering his left arm. And his intense gaze was locked on me as he walked towards us. If this had happened to happen before I shifted and mated, I was sure I would have cowered behind Nikolai. But at that moment, for some reason, I stood with my head high and met his gaze head-on. "Love, I would like you to meet Lord Rhazien of Kingdom Mozog," Nikolai said when the three of them were standing in front of us. "Rhazien, meet my lovely mate, Avalyn." He smiled as he introduced me and shook hands with the man. "It is my pleasure to meet you, Luna Avalyn," he said as he bowed in front of us. I did not sense any negative energy from his side or from Nikolai so I took it as a good sign and smiled back at him. "It is a pleasure to meet you too, Lord Rhazien." "Please, call me Rhazien." He smiled and then looked at Nikolai
Avalyn "What if the kids do not like either of them?" I asked nervously. I had tried my best to pick the most suitable parents for them but something inside me said that it wasn't enough. "They will like them," he replied. He looked confident but I somehow knew he was worried about it as well. "I hope so. I don't want to keep them with someone they don't like," I told him. During the after-party, I had met the kids and talked to them. They didn't talk much and were shy at first, but they opened up a little. I was happy about that. They deserved happiness. "Which is why they have a choice. You did a great job at selecting the couples, Moya Lyubov. Don't worry," he said soothingly as he pulled into the driveway of the packhouse. I didn’t think I would ever get used to its glory. We both walked inside hand in hand as several pack members bowed to us. I smiled at the familiar faces. I had mingled with a lot of them during the party. When we entered the living room, we saw Adrian and
Avalyn He pulled over at a quaint restaurant and all of us filed out. I had requested him to take the kids with us for dinner and he gladly accepted. We were quickly ushered in by one of the staff members and we gave them our order. "What would you two like to have?" I asked the kids. They just shrugged. "Please get the same for them as well," I told the waiter. "Of course, thank you, Alpha, Luna." The waiter bowed and left us alone. "Did you like this couple?" I asked them. "Yeah," they said in unison but Vanessa sounded unsure. "What happened, Vanessa?" It was Nikolai who asked the question. "I saw someone," she whispered. A shudder ran through her little body. "Who?" growled Nikolai. Vanessa flinched back a little at his voice and I placed a hand over Nikolai's bicep to calm him. He was already very protective of the kids. "I don't know. But he was fa-Alpha's fwiend. He came to the pack," Vanessa said in a small voice and her brother looked at her questioningly. She glanc
Nikolai I opened my eyes to see Ava's head on my chest and her arm around my waist. I smiled. I caressed her hair and saw it turn silver under my touch. The reason was a mystery, but it didn't bother me much. I wanted to know the reason why, but deep down I knew it wasn't something to be worried about. It wasn't anything bad. Nothing involving her could be bad. I slowly slipped out from under her and got off the bed. I peeled off the covers and saw goosebumps rise on her naked skin. Smirking, I kissed my way up her legs to her inner thighs and saw her twitch. Her eyes were shut but her heart was beating faster. I kissed her already wet core and was gifted with a small moan. I smirked wider. She tried to close her legs but I held them apart. Then, I dug into my breakfast. I lapped up her juices before sucking at her pussy. Her back arched off the bed and she woke up with a lust-filled moan. I tightened my hold on her thighs so she couldn’t move. Her eyes widened when she saw me.
Avalyn It was evening and I was making sure that that the dinner was prepared when Dimitri strolled in and picked up a banana from the fruit basket. "Do you know where Nikolai is?" I asked him. I hadn't seen him around or heard from him yet. I was worried. He looked confused. "Not really. He didn't show up for a meeting either. I thought he was with you." He frowned and then his eyes fogged over as if he was mind-linking. A second later, Andrei materialised in the kitchen. "Have you seen Nikolai?" Dimitri asked him. "No. Wasn't he with you?" The words were like a punch to my gut. "We just… got in a fight this afternoon," I murmured. "He left to get some fresh air." "Avalyn, we have visitors," Sofiya said through the mind link. She sounded worried. "The front gate." I immediately rushed out and the men followed. I met Sofiya and Vladimir at the front gate and saw four men approaching. I pulled my wolf forward to judge them. They were vampires and Sof was wary of them, but she wa
Avalyn "You did good, my child," a sweet voice told me. I turned around to see the same blue-eyed and white-haired lady smiling at me. I envied how she was always so at peace. "Don't worry, Avalyn. I am you. You will soon find your own peace too," she said with a soft smile. How did she know what I was thinking? "That's because we are the same. I can hear your thoughts," she replied. "I am so proud of you, Avalyn. You are slowly becoming what you are destined to be. It's time to wake up now. It's time to fulfil your duties. Your people have arrived. They need you." What I am destined to be? What does that mean? And people? Who was she talking about? "You'll know soon," she said. "Save Nikolai." "Lead them all to victory." "Lighten the darkness." "The time is coming." Then she faded away, just like last time. Slowly, and then all at once. My eyes fluttered open and I saw Nikolai sitting on the bed, his hand resting on the top of my head, as if he was caressing it before he
Nikolai Ava invited the vampires to stay the night, but they politely declined, informing her that they had rented a hotel in the nearby human town. I knew she was worried, but I told her to let them be. More than being worried about them, I knew she was worried about the humans, but all of them clearly had their own slaves. When you were a high ranker, having slaves was more like a status symbol than a necessity. I took Ava down to the beach after that. We had lots to discuss. "Take off your sandals," I told her as I removed my own. She smiled widely as she quickly did as I said. I placed them on a rock before holding her hand. We took off for a walk along the shore. "Let's talk about you first. I know we haven't done that much since you shifted," I told her. "How do you feel, Love?" "I feel... alive." She looked up at me with a sweet smile. It was true. I could feel the strength flowing through her now. Her eyes glowed with more happiness than I had ever seen and there was just
