The Lycan King novel Chapter 30

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 both are the same, I can hear your thoughts." She replied. "I am so proud of you for yesterday Avalyn. Its time to wake up now, its time to fulfil your duties. Your people have arrived, they need you."

My people? What does that mean?

"You'll know when you wake up." She said.

"Save Nikolai."

"Lead them all to victory."

"Lighten the darkness."

"The time is coming."

Then she faded way, just like last time. Slowly, and then all at once.

My eyes fluttered open and I saw Nikolai sitting on the bed, his one arm around me and the other on his lap. His head was rested against the headboard as he rested. Suddenly his eyes snapped open and he breathed a sign of relief when he saw me.

"You scared all of us Ava." He breathed.

What was he talking about? I got up from my sleeping position and sat besides him. Then I suddenly remembered what happened yesterday. Shit.

"I killed him." I whispered in shock. "I killed a king.?I killed Vladimir's father."

I got off the bed and ran out of the door in search of Vladimir. I crashed into him in the hallway. I took a step back and looked up at him.

How will I ever get him to forgive me?

"I'm so sorry." I apologised. How could I have killed his father? What was wrong with me? "I- I don't know what happened, it was as if something took control of me and-and I killed him." I said in a small voice.

"Don't be sorry Avalyn." He told me softly. "He had it coming."

"But you don't deserve it."

"Maybe. It was his decision to strip me away from my position as his son and as the prince. That was a decade ago. I assure you, there is not much affection in me left for him." He smiled sadly.

"He was still your father. I didn't even have a good enough reason to do it." I whispered.

"Of course you did. He was hurting your family Avalyn. And as a Luna, you are bound to be protective. He was also going to take you away to keep you as a..." he coughed. "If he had been successful, there was no one in this entire world that would be able to get you out of there." He said softly.

My eyes widened.

"I'm still sorry." I told him sincerely.

"It's alright." He said. "There are some people who have come to meet you." His eyes flickered behind me. I turned around to see Nikolai standing there still in his boxers with a small smile on his face. I looked down at myself and saw I was in a night dress. I blushed and ran inside my bedroom.

"We will be down in a few." I heard Nikolai tell Vladimir. In the next second, he was inside the bedroom and the door was locked shut.

"Never run out like that,?in?that again." His eyes darkened and I quickly nodded. "Sorry!" I squeaked.

"Lets go shower." He murmured but didn't made a move.

I lowered my head as I walked past him to enter the bathroom when he slapped my butt. I jumped around with a blush. He just arched his eyebrows, asking if I had a question. I shook my head and rushed in.

We both showered silently and quickly. I kept steeling glances at him, still wondering what he was thinking. The last conversation we had was in the forest which didn't go as well as it could have gone. I didn't know what took over me. When I realised what had actually happened, I was back in the estate and Sofiya was standing in front of me, asking what happened and where I just came from.

I couldn't answer anything because the guilt of talking rudely to him was overpowering. But I didn't feel guilty to actually stop him. I just could have handled it better. I knew that knowing what happened to Viktoria angered him and hurt him, and I know first hand that people make irrational decisions when they are hurt. I can't hold that against him.

We both dried ourselves and got dressed. "I know we have a lot to talk about, we will do it after we deal with the vampires that have come to meet you." He said quietly. "I hope you know? that killing a long reining Vampire king was not as easy as you made it seem like. You are something else." He whispered and kissed my lips. Electricity buzzed through my lips which made my toes curl. I had missed him. "The vampires that Vasilik sired and were accountable to him are now under your rule. You are their queen now." His thumb rubbed my jaw.

I blinked.?What?

"You killed a king Ava, it's not something everyone can say. And as much as a good thing you did by breaking his tyranny, you took on a huge responsibility." He murmured. "If you need, I will help you in every step along the way."

"I don't know anything about ruling anybody." I told him, still in shock.

"Contrary to your belief, you've done a great job in handling everything?? the kids, Rhazien and Vasilik. Dimitri was very amused at how you handled him with your polite words. Give yourself a chance, give them a chance. Meet them, talk to them, they are your people now."

Your people.?The lady in my dreams also said that.
