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
Avalyn "Let me introduce you to your new family." I smiled at both of them and then looked at Sofiya, Vladimir, Dimitri, and Andrei. They all had welcoming smiles on their faces. When Nikolai had informed them that Adrian and Vanessa would be living there now, they were all surprised. Apparently, Nikolai wasn't the type to take the responsibility of raising children. Until now. "That's uncle Vladimir and aunt Sofiya. This is uncle Dimitri and uncle Andrei," I introduced them. As expected, both of them were too shy to say anything except flashing smiles towards whoever I introduced. "And what's the name of her child?" Adrian frowned as he pointed at Sofiya. Sofiya frowned back and looked down to her stomach, her hand coming down over her belly. "I told you I look fat in this dress," she grumbled to Vladimir and elbowed him in his stomach, which made him wince. "Dammit, woman." "She isn't pregnant Adrian." I bit back my smile at the couple's banter. "But she is." He frowned and to
Nikolai I was going crazy. We had continuously been trying to contact Mikhail and Natalia, but their mind-links were completely cut off, their phones unavailable. Something was wrong and I was going crazy, because one mistake could cost them their lives. I had sent my best tracker and my best warrior to investigate and we were waiting for them to contact us. I would have liked to go myself, but it wasn't safe and if they were being held hostage, I would walk right into a trap. Sending more people would raise suspicions, so I sent a small team I trusted the most. It was four in the morning when the warrior, Denis, mind-linked me. "I found Natalia, Alpha. There are no visible wounds on her body, but she isn't waking up." "Denis found Natalia. No wounds but she isn't waking up," I told my men. We had stayed together in the conference room for the night. "Check her pulse," I told him. "Maybe she was drugged," Vladimir replied. I nodded. That was the best guess. "Her pulse is very s
Nikolai I tore open the door of my bedroom to see Ava lying on the bed, crying. Sofiya was trying to console her. "Get out," I told Sofiya as I stepped in. She got off the bed and stood in front of me. "I'm not going anywhere. I know you are angry and I am not going to let you take your anger out on her," she said stubbornly. I flashed my canines, not liking her tone. Did she think that I would actually fucking hurt Ava? "He will not hurt me. Thank you for being here Sofiya, but I would like to talk to him alone," Ava replied softly yet firmly. Sofiya narrowed her eyes at me before turning around and hugging Ava. She left the room after that and Ava sat on the bed, hugging herself. There was a knock on the door. "Come in," I grunted. Irina stepped in and placed a tray that had a bowl of ice, water, and a cloth on the side table and left, shutting the door behind her. I settled on the bed, just beside the table, folded my legs, patted the space in front of me, and softly said,
Avalyn "Looks like you had a rough night." Sofiya grinned at me. I flushed and tried to ignore my sore legs. After my punishment the previous night, Nikolai and I had sex many, many times. He said that we had to make up for the few days we didn't have sex. Needless to say, I was thoroughly fucked, spent, and blissfully happy. The dull ache which was progressively getting better was also something I didn't mind because I could still feel him inside me. "How do you know?" I bit my lip. "Your walk of shame says it all, babe," she said and winked. "And there is this glow on your face that makes you look... alive." It was true. I felt alive. The way he had dominated me... the way he took control... he looked like my saviour again. The way he was with me during the start. I loved it. "I feel alive," I admitted. Last night’s punishment had helped me clear my mind. I had to admit that I liked taking control of things. I also knew it had a lot to do with me shifting into an Alpha wolf. B
Nikolai I sat back in my seat and watched Dimitri and Andrei bring Ava to middle of the ground. She looked beautiful in her white dress. The entire pack had assembled for her Luna ceremony, and I was sure it was going to be glorious. When Ava's eyes fell on me, she visibly calmed down. "Avalyn Alvarez, daughter of late Alpha Javier Alvarez of Montana Pack, has mated Alpha Nikolai Volkov of the Rogue Pack," Vladimir announced and the crowd broke into cheers. I didn't move my gaze from my sweet mate. "I commence the Luna Ceremony," I said, my voice reverberating throughout the ground. I saw Ava's eyes light up in understanding. She had no idea the Luna ceremony was today. I wanted it to be a surprise and I had to stay away from my mate for an entire day to follow the traditions of the Luna Ceremony. "Do you, Avalyn Alvarez, vow to protect this pack?" Vladimir asked. "I do," Avalyn said in a strong voice. Vladimir motioned with his fingers and four warriors brought a cage and pla
Nikolai "You can do it, Avalyn. Concentrate," I told her. We were on the patio and I was helping Ava use her powers. We hadn't done this before because we didn't know how to control them. And since we hadn't been able to find a faye to help her, I had taken it upon myself to train her. I had placed a bottle on a table in front of us and I told Ava to use her mind power to lift it into the air. We were at it for almost an hour, but the bottle hadn’t even moved a millimetre. "I can't do it," she cried out in frustration. "Remember how you willed Lisa to stand up from her kneeling position and sit beside Rhazien? We need that kind of determination, Ava," I told her. "But I didn't even do anything consciously," she said and frowned. "I just felt very strongly about her not kneeling." "Do you remember when you saw me and Natalia in my office?" I asked her about the day she thought I cheated on her. She gave me an unsure nod. "I have cameras in the entire house, Ava. I could see yo

Avalyn 3 months later. "You look ravishingly beautiful, Moya Lyubov." Nik leaned against a column and looked at me through the mirror in front of us. I had worn an ivory-coloured gown with intricate golden patterns on the top bodice that hugged my figure. The bottom part of the dress puffed out a little, ending in a long trail to give it more of a princess-y look. The dress was beautiful and so was the perfectly done hair and makeup. Tessa helped me put on a red mantle with delicate white-and-gold handwork that went amazingly with my dress. Grinning at him through the mirror, I turned around and walked to him. "You look extremely handsome as well." Nikolai was wearing a charcoal grey tuxedo with a more masculine version of my mantle. It went well with his tuxedo. Tessa and another slave stepped forward with a cushion each in hand. On them sat the crowns that we had received in Mozog. This was the true symbol that this pack was not just for wolves but for vampires as well. Nikolai
Avalyn A deep pit formed in my belly the moment we stepped in. I was watching my step when I entered so I saw a line of green grass pass from under my feet. It started extending and covering the large expanse of void in front of us. A gasp left my mouth when I saw acres and acres of land in front of us, covered in neatly trimmed, lively green grass. And on that grass were well-groomed and beautiful gardens, covering the entire land. The cold weather changed and the sun shined more brightly. It was almost as if... as if it was spring. How was this possible? The temperature didn't feel like it was negative-something Celsius, but almost as if it was twenty degrees. The temperature I thought was perfect. My heart thudded. Was this real? Or was I imagining it? Nik and I continued walking forward. Suddenly, a line slipped from beneath our feet and a white cobble-stoned path followed the line and created a straight path for us, from the middle of the gardens, up to the top of the mount
Nikolai "Are you sure you want to keep going?" Ava asked wearily. After the... incident earlier, we decided it would be best for us to stay together and walk carefully instead of running or jogging. "Very," I replied, gripping her soft hand tighter. "Whatever is up there, it doesn't want us here." Her sides brushed mine. I was enjoying keeping her on this short leash. "And that's too bad for them because that is my land," I replied. "And if whatever is up there doesn't want us there, that means there is something important there that needs protection." I looked straight ahead and kept a steady pace, determined to make it to the top. "And I intend to find out what that is." "But what if we are better off keeping things the way they are? I'm not sure if I like this, Nikolai. This place is giving me weird vibes." She stepped closer to me. "My instincts tell me that I need to go up. They have been telling me that for a while," I told her truthfully. "If you are not comfortable, I ca
Avalyn When I woke up the next morning, Nik was already gone. I looked at the clock and realized it was nine a.m. Of course, he was gone. I got out of bed and stretched my limbs, a huge smile gracing my features. Last night had been... amazing. It was hands down one of our most memorable nights. I went to the washroom and took a quick, warm shower, soothing my sore muscles. Life was good. When I stepped out, I saw Tessa in the room with a pile of clothes in her hand. "For you, Mistress." "Thank you, Tessa." I grinned. I was in a very good mood that morning. "You're very welcome, Mistress. I'll go make your breakfast. Do you need anything?" She looked very worried. "Why are you so worried?" I took off my bathrobe and started putting the clothes she had got me. "I was very scared for you last night, Mistress." Deep concern was etched on her features. "I don't ever want you to have to go through pain. Especially under the hands of the man you love so much!" She whispered the last
Nikolai Ava's eyes closed and I tightened my hold on her waist and her legs. "He is yours to kill." I looked at Javier, jutting my chin towards Maggot before I left the cottage with my brave mate in my arms. I was in awe of her strength. I knew she would come at least once before the eight days were up. But she still managed to shock me with the strength that she carried inside her. All of us were shocked. I saw something in her eyes that day that made me realize something. I felt like I had been enlightened. She was done with her past now. She was done being the submissive, meek Avalyn she had been moulded into. Ava had broken out of that enclosure and was ready to metamorphose into the strong, confident and brilliant woman who would lead this world by my side. I just hoped she recognized that too and would listen to me with an open mind this time around. Halfway on our way to the cottage we were staying Ava's eyes fluttered open. Her hair turned back to brown and her eyes were b
Avalyn My first walk with Papa seemed ages ago. All of us had gotten very busy after that. We hardly saw each other. Especially Nik and I. But we developed a schedule. He would wake me up in the morning with either breakfast in bed and then we would go for a short run around the pack, or we would engage in early morning sex before a quick breakfast and then we would part ways. The first order we issued as the Alpha and Luna of the Montana Pack was to break down the wall on which the heads of wolves hung. Those heads were hung on Emilio's orders as a reminder to the pack about what would happen to them if they upset him in any way. The heads were finally taken down and were lit on pyres by their friends and family. I hoped that those wolves finally attained peace on the other side of the Moon. Max had been given the task of going through the pack’s bank accounts for illegal businesses and suspicious activities. Max's friend Daniel was great with numbers and knew trustworthy people w
Avalyn I saw our entire family waiting for us, and our entire pack standing behind them, looking at us with a reverent gaze. Nik was quick to stand in front of me and hide me from their gaze. Our clothes had burned off in the fire so I was naked. And Nik was being overprotective. I loved it. I loved him. And I wanted him. Desperately. I bit down on my lip. His eyes darkened. "Don't." He pulled my lip out and then groaned. "You're naked, Love." He closed his eyes, struggling hard to control himself in front of everyone. "I'm going to fuck you so hard after all this." I nodded, gulping. "I'll hold you to your promise." I had missed him. And then two slaves came in, carrying a dress for me and a pair of shorts for Nik. We both quickly got dressed before Nik finally relaxed and stood beside me. "The series of unfortunate events that have been happening since last night have happened because of one spiteful person who hated vampires — Mary. She was the one who lit the packhouse on fi
Avalyn My eyes lost sight of Papa and Nik. Why did he run away? Did he not like me? Did he think of me as a bad person? It didn't make sense. It hurt. Watching him run away from me hurt. Why did he do it? I couldn't think of a single reason why he would be upset with me. Maybe that day... when we were attacked... if I hadn't been there, and he didn't have to defend himself and me, he wouldn't have been kept as a captive in the dungeon. If it wasn't for me, he could have lived as an Alpha with Mama. And then it clicked, he resented me because I killed Mama. My heart dropped. Yes, that was it. It had to be it. My vision was obstructed by a chest. I looked up and saw Dimitri. "Avalyn, your nose is bleeding." Deep concern was etched on his face. My hand immediately came up to touch my nostril and sure enough, it was bloody. I wiped it all away. "It's probably nothing," I muttered. I didn't care about myself. I wanted to talk to Papa and beg for his forgiveness. "Or maybe it is somet
