The Lycan King novel Chapter 4

Nikolai

I took care of my business and walked to where I had told Ava to sit. I pressed the button for the back massager of the recliner, I want her to relax, to enjoy herself. I took the seat in front of her and smiled lazily at her.

"All good, Ava?" I asked.

"Yes, thank you Master." She whispered and smiled back lazily, a small moan coming out of her. I groaned inwardly as my cock twitched at her sight, she had no idea of the effect she has on me. The plane soon landed and we got off, my men following me; Alexander and Isabella appearing behind us.

"Thank you Alpha Nikolai, I owe you one. Call me when you need help. I mean it." He nodded sharply and I got the meaning.

"Yes, thank you so much Alpha Nikolai." Isabella said, her voice thick with emotions.

"Pleasure was all mine. Stay safe." I nodded at both of them and walked to my car.

My pleasure indeed, I thought as I tightened my hold on Ava's waist.

Mikhail and Vladimir followed me in my car, this was Silverwitch Bay, most of it was under my rule and no one would dare to cross my path here. Ava was looking out of the window, fascinated by the view.

"Have you told Sofiya yet?" Mikhail smirked at me.

"She will know once we get home." I glared at him. He rolled his eyes at me. That woman is going to annoy the shit out of me for not telling her before bringing Ava home.

Soon, we reached home. The gates were opened and after a minute's ride, we reached the driveway. The mansion overlooked the Silverwitch Bay and I could see Ava trying to look past the palm trees to the beach, eager to see everything.

"We can go to the beach in the evening if you want." I told her, guiding her through the entrance steps to the door.

As soon as we reached, the guards and the slaves, now dressed appropriately as maids, as per my instructions, bowed their heads. A sign of respect. I nodded at them.

"Call Dimitri." I told one of the slaves and walked to the living room.

"Can't live without me for a second, can you?" Dimitri smirked, already seated on the sofa.

"Reports?" I asked, ignoring his previous statement.

"No problems. But we may have to visit Club Lupus again though." He frowned. "And who is the lovely lady on your arm?" He grinned as he noticed Ava who was almost hiding behind me.

"Avalyn." I replied with a look that spoke volumes. The flirty smile was swept off his face in an instant.

"Ava, meet Dimitri, my Beta." I told her softly, bringing her forward. She didn't need to hide or be intimidated by the men here, they are family.

"Hello." She smiled at him. It was a stiff smile. I was rubbing circles on her waist with my thumb to calm her.

"Nikolai! Why didn't you tell me? I heard you brought a girl home!" I heard an excited yell. Sofiya came rushing into the living room.

"Finally a girlfriend in this boring house." She grinned and hugged Ava who stilled before looking at me. I nodded, giving her a smile. She smiled back shyly and hugged Sofiya.

"Hi, I'm Sofiya, your new best friend slash sister." She grinned letting go of her and extending her arm towards Ava.

"I'm Avalyn." She smiled softly and shook her hand shyly.

"Do you want to rest or do you want a tour of the Estate?" I asked Ava.

"A tour, please, Nikolai." She said immediately and her eyes shined as she looked around, fascinated by everything.

"Very well. Sofiya will show you around the estate." I gave them a dismissive nod. "My office." I told my men.

"Wait." Sofiya yelled. I turned around to check Ava, looking for any sort of problem.

Sofiya went to Vladimir and pulled him down by his tie to kiss him. I rolled my eyes. He was whipped.

"Geez, no need to yell Sofiya." Dimitri rolled his eyes at his sister and followed me to the office.

I look at my most trusted men- my Beta Dimitri, my Head Tracker Mikhail, my Head of Arms Andrei and my Advisor Vladimir. I trusted them with my life. I was sworn to protect them and they were sworn to protect me. They are my brothers, my family by choice.

Who says blood is thicker than water when your own father kills your mother? They are my real family, the Volkovs.

"We have to bring the Monta?a Pack down."

One by one, I'm going to kill the bastards who owned Ava and tried to break her. The light in her shines so bright, that it is needed in this world. Without it, something would be missing. I'm just thankful to Moon Goddess that she's not completely broken. Because I've made it my life's mission to save her.

Avalyn

Sofiya is my friend, one I made after so many years. She is smart, happy and complete- something I am not. I am broken, used and a whore, a slut, a slave, a pet.

Master said that I am beautiful but I doubt it. I believed him whole-heartedly, trusted him with my life but this was hard to accept. He was my saviour, I would do anything for him, his wish was my command.

It had not even been a day since he saved me from him, from my own version of hell and gave me hope, gave me a place to call home. I still think this is all a dream, that Master would give me away once he was bored of me. I made it my life goal to be the perfect slave for him. He didn't like it when I called myself that but I didn't know what else to call myself. That's what I've always been, a slave, a means for others pleasure.

I would serve Master with my whole heart, be the perfect slave, but most Masters didn't want a perfect slave, they wanted someone to punish, someone to hurt. But my Master hadn't hurt me even when I made several mistakes, maybe he is different, better than him.

I just wanted to make Master happy, his happiness gave me happiness.

"Hey Avalyn. Are you okay?" Sofiya asked me, looking concerned.

"Yes, I was just thinking." I smiled at her.

I really liked her, she was sweet and kind and talked to me throughout the tour even when I hardly answered. The house was so pretty, it was so much better than my previous house where I was supposed to stay in my assigned room, only to be brought out when and where he wanted me. I had hardly stepped out of that house in eight years. And now this new life was my dream come true.

"Lets go, Nikolai must be waiting for you." She smiled and guided me to where Master would be. I was scared, what if he didn't like that I kept him waiting? Would he punish me?

"Go to your man and I'll go find mine." Sofiya winked at me as she left me in a hallway.

Master was facing away from me, talking to Andrei. Sofiya had told me about everyone. Dimitri was her brother, I could see the resemblance and the rest were just people Master had helped along his way and had somehow ended up joining the family. The most trusted men took the Volkov surname and became family, it was the greatest honour. Sofiya's last name was Volkov too.

Do I go stand next to him or call him? I didn't want him to think I was trying to listen to things by walking up next to him so I decided to call him.

I remembered he told me to call him by his name if we were not alone.

"Nikolai." I called out softly but he heard and turned around swiftly, a small smile covering his face. His smiles were reserved just for me, I hadn't seen him smile in front of anyone else and that made me feel special.

"We will talk later." He told Andrei, not taking his eyes off me. He came towards me, kissed my lips, making me feel all giddy.
