The Lycan King novel Chapter 26

Avalyn

"We can always test that theory." Rhazien continued. I furrowed my eyebrows. How can that be done if did not use my powers? Not that I know how to use them.

"Only if she agrees." Nikolai squeezed my hand.

"Agree to what?" I asked. It seemed like everyone knew what he was talking about.

"Lisa." Rhazien said and she immediately stood up and kneeled in front of me, tilting her neck to the side.

Then it clicked.

I looked at him with wide eyes. "No! I will not do it." They knew that if I had some of her blood and liked it, some part of me was a Vampire and we could progress with that. To be honest, I was scared. I didn't want to hurt the girl, and more than that, I didn't want to be a vampire. How many people would I have to drink from?

"This is the fastest and easiest way, Love. But it will be your choice. The other option will be for you to explore your power and use a lot of it. But since we have no knowledge or extent of your power, it can be dangerous." He looked at me with weary eyes.

I knew he would never put me on danger, but him giving me a choice was what meant to me the most.

I looked at Lisa was still in the same position. "Lisa." I called and her eyes snapped to mine. "Are you okay with me drinking your blood? Tell me the truth." I told her firmly.

"Yes, Luna." I somehow knew she was speaking the truth.

I tentatively grasped her chin and leaned forward, moving closer to the juncture of her neck and shoulder. I took a deep breath. She smelled like honey. My wolf was anxious but we slowly extended our canines and made a small cut so that the blood would ooze out. I didn't want to hurt the human. When we licked the little blood, my nose curled up in disgust.

"A little more Avalyn." I heard Rhazien say. I did as he and continued but I felt nothing but disgust. I licked her wound, knowing it will help soothe the pain and heal quicker before I leaned back. I wiped my mouth with the back of hand.

"You did good, Ava." Nikolai said as he rubbed my back.

"Not a vampire than." Rhazien murmured thoughtfully.

Lisa dutifully walked back to him and kneeled by his side again. She did not in the least seem in pain or uncomfortable by the entire ordeal. That made me wonder what she had gone through for this to be so normal for her.

"A faerie?" Vladimir whispered in the quite room.

Nikolai stood, furiously glowering at his brother. "Do not, for a second think that I will let go of your implication just because I consider you my brother."

I flinched back at his tone. I hadn't expected this reaction. Why was it so wrong for me to be even a part faerie?

Vladimir looked like he had expected this outburst.

"Nikolai, you need to take everything into consideration. We cannot leave possibilities out only because we do not want them to be true." Dimitri told softly.

"Would me being a faerie be so bad?" I asked in a small voice.

"No." He said quickly as he spun around to look me in the eye. "It's just?? even implying that you are one, will put you in mortal danger." Nikolai said evasively.

"There was a prophesy about six hundred years ago which implied faeries will help rule the world. All the power hungry werewolves and vampires captured faeries, forcing them to turn them into the king or a queen." Rhazien said softly. "Most of them escaped to a different dimension we know nothing about, but still, many were slaughtered, the ones who survived are either underground or under protection of vampire kingdom or a werewolf pack. It is...dangerous to be a fae."

My eyes widened. Most of the fae meant most of the race, there would hardly be a handful of faeries alive here, living in fear of their impending death.

"Would people be so cruel as to kill another just for power?" I whispered.

"I'm afraid yes, Luna. We live in a cruel world." Andrei replied softly. I looked at him with sadness. It seemed like he had seen a fair share of it, just like me.

"There is no real way to test that theory right now. Her magic will be the most powerful if she uses spells. Which we do not have any knowledge of." Rhazien said.

"We need to find a fae." Nikolai spoke with determination. "If anyone, I mean anyone speaks a word about all of this to anyone, I will kill you." Nikolai growled lowly.

"Yes, Alpha." Dimitri, Vladimir, Sofiya, Andrei and Mikhail spoke in unison.

"I must take my leave now, Nikolai." Rhazien approached us and we both stood up.

"You are welcome to stay for a few days if you wish." He replied as his eyes flickered to Vladimir.

"I have some pressing matters to attend to. I'm afraid I can't stay for long." He said and gave a firm handshake to him. Then he stood in front of me and and looked at me with those intense eyes again.
