Avalyn The next few days flew by in a blur. All we did was train and plan minute details. We made it a point to practice with the vampires so that we fought like a team. Nik was more stressed than I had ever seen him. In fact, I hardly saw him after our little date. He was the busiest of all. He was training with everyone and making sure that they were doing their best. He took turns explaining the plan to every group in detail to make sure there was no doubt or confusion. He also looked over the manufacture of weapons that we were going to use. We had ordered guns, but wooden bullets had to be carved out of wood. Only then would it kill a supernatural. I took care of lodging the people who weren't going to fight. There were about thirty of them. Keeping them all in a single place was also risky, which was why I had them scattered strategically. That way, no one would know where they were, but at least one group of the pack was near them to defend or rescue them if needed. Max had
Mikhail I ran hard to my position, which was at the very south of the pack. The trees there were scarcer than at the other borders so it was a bit challenging, but we lived for a good challenge. Finding the tallest tree, I stealthily climbed to the top. I nodded at Clark, who was on the branch beside mine. 'Everyone in your positions?' I mind-linked my team of fifty wolves. 'Yes,' everyone replied together in a single word. I looked at my watch. 11:53. Now, it was time to wait. "The Montana Pack has about five hundred wolves who can fight. We only have one hundred and fifty. We cannot fight them all at once and win. But we do have a chance if we fight just half of them at a time. Max, I want you to get Gonzalez to bring in two hundred and fifty wolves to attack," Alpha had told Max as we gathered in the conference room. He was finally going to tell us what the war strategy was going to be. "Tell him we are a hundred and fifty wolves and I have asked for about fifty vampires from V
Avalyn Nik and I stood on the terrace of the house as we looked at the peaceful ocean. The moon cast a beautiful reflection of itself on the dark sea. Cold winds blew and I shivered. I zipped up my jacket. The waves slowly increased and I caught the sight of a boat. My breath hitched. They had arrived. "The last group of fifty enemies is going to attack our house. They will come through the sea on rowboats so no noise is made to alert anybody. Those fifty men will be divided into groups of two. The first group will have thirty men and the second group will have twenty men," Nikolai had said. "You two," Nikolai had looked at Max and Natalia, "along with Gonzalez and his most loyal and trusted men will come in the second group. The house has three automated snipers on the roof and can shoot three bullets at a time before it takes a break of fifteen seconds to reload and shoot again. Those thirty men will be a suicide squad. They will go to the operating room and turn off the power fo
Dimitri 'They are in, brother,' Mikhail mind-linked me. 'Okay.' I grinned. "The enemies have crossed our borders," I announced. "In the next ten minutes, they will be inside our homes," my voice boomed in the courtyard of the Packhouse. "The seventy-five enemy wolves coming from the Western and Northern borders will run straight to the packhouse. They will want to kill everyone inside to symbolize that the Rogue Pack has fallen. In the next fifteen minutes, they will be here." "Will we let our pack fall?" I asked. "No!" Everyone roared unanimously. "Will we let a single intruder breathe one more second on our lands?" I asked. "No!" Everyone roared again. "Good," I lowered my voice. "That's the energy I want to see in everyone when we are on the battlefield. It's kill or be killed. And I prefer to kill." A grin started forming on my face. "In fact, I love killing. Do you?" I growled out my question. "Yes!" they growled back. "Good. Take your positions. They will be here in te
Avalyn My eyes teared up more. We were winning and now I had put everyone in a position to lose everything. I should have been more alert! I should have been paying more attention to my surroundings! What was I thinking? "Rogue," Emilio hissed. "You planned this whole thing?" And then he shifted his glare to Max. "And you, you devious motherfucker. I must admit, I'm impressed." "Thanks." Max gave him a wide grin. "You will let me and my pack members leave alive or else I will shoot this bitch right now." He pressed the nozzle of the gun harder against my temple. 'Ava, use your powers and throw him a couple of feet away from you. I will save you. I promise,' Nik mind-linked me. I closed my eyes and imagined tossing him a couple of feet away but it didn't work. "Don't even think about using your magic, you witch," he hissed in my ear. "You may snap my neck or throw me off, but I still have a gun in my hand. It will not take me more than a split second to finish you, which I should
Nikolai "Ple—please l-let me go.... I wi-will give you anything y-you w*-w*nt.... T-take my pack i-if you w*nt it." Gonzalez begged pathetically. "That pack was never yours to begin with. And there is nothing in this entire world that you can offer me to let you go, fuckface." I felt his bone crunch under the force of my punch. It made me smile. I heard his scream, but it only fuelled my anger. It only pushed me for more. Grabbing his hair, I pummelled his face over and over again. It had been two hours since I had started beating the shit out of him. I could feel Dimitri's and Mikhail's eyes on me. They watched as I mercilessly tortured him. They felt my fury, my wrath, and they saw as I completely lost it. They understood my anger and didn't interfere. Getting in my way at that moment wouldn't end well. In the past two hours, I hadn't stopped once, and nor had his screams. My thirst for his blood had not been sated. The fury was still boiling inside of me, threatening to kill him
Nikolai "...you miserable piece of leering vermin." I heard Nat hiss as I entered the dungeon. The view that met my eyes was a pleasant one. Max and Nat were having their turn playing with Gonzalez. While he was not bleeding from the lashes Dimitri and I had laid on him anymore, his body was now beautifully tattooed with dozens of welts and wounds in angry red, brown, and black. There was also an addition to his collection of bruises, cuts, and broken bones that delighted me. Currently, Natalia had her sharp heel pressing down on his balls as he wept in pain, begging and apologizing to her for looking at her the wrong way in the club and at their house. Nat didn't seem impressed with his meagre begging though. Max, who was taking out various dildos from the bag looked up at me and grinned. "We've been waiting for you. I thought you should have the honour of taking his virginity." Somewhere in the background, Gonzalez's screams intensified and both of us laughed at that. "Pick you
Nikolai Heavy is the head that wears the crown. It wasn't easy to always be the one people came to for everything, to always be the one who took care of everyone and everything, to always be the bad guy. But I thought that after I found my mate, she would share that weight with me. She would be there with me every step of the way. "Sometimes, Nikolai, you shock me with just how cruel you really are." Did she really believe that I wanted to punish our pack members? "I'm going to see Andrei because unlike you, I actually consider him my brother and love him like one. And don't worry, I won't heal him. I wouldn't want to give you an opportunity to whip me too." Did she really believe that I wanted to punish my own brother? That I didn't care for him? And to throw it in my face.... I shook my head. She was probably shocked and angry. "She'll come around." Natalia patted my shoulder. I snapped out of my thoughts and realized almost everyone was already gone. "She just doesn't unde
Hi guys!Thanks so much for supporting The Lycan King. Feel free to check out the sequel: The Faye queen!I'd love to hear from you guys!Enjoy!
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
