The Lycan King novel Chapter 79

Avalyn

My eyes teared further. We were winning and now I put everyone in the 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 to glare at Max. "And you devious motherfucker. I must admit, I'm impressed."

"Thanks." Max gave him a wide grin.

"You will let me and my pack members go alive to my pack or else I will shoot this bitch right now." He pressed the nozzle of the gun harder.

'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 me flicking him away a couple of feet 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 have done when I decided I was done with you."

Nikolai growled. Loud enough for the land to vibrate.

"Release her and fight with me. If you are a true Alpha like you claim you are, fight me one on one?? a duel to death." Nikolai challenged.

"Why would I do that when I have your precious slave in my arms?" His manhood pressed against my butt and then he grind himself against me.

A tear slipped down my cheek. He always found a way to make me feel dirty.

I can't let him take me away again. I won't survive it. I just won't. Not after Nik, not after having a taste of how beautiful a free live can be, how amazing living with family can be.

I would rather die than go through that again. I got why Viktoria did what she did now. She wasn't a coward. She was a very strong woman, one who was strong enough to not fear death. She was strong enough to kill herself and life a free life in heaven.

I tried using my powers again but to no avail. The one time that I truly need it and I can't even use them properly. First to light those people on fire and now.

"Fine. Just don't touch her." Nikolai gritted, his eyes black.

"No can do." And then he grabbed my breast and squeezed.

A sob rose my throat but I pressed my lips further, having no intention to show any more weaknesses. "You will escort us all out of your pack, alive. If I had known that this slut has magical powers, I would have never let her go." And then he I felt his extended canine touch my neck.

I didn't dare move.

'Avalyn. Remember that day in the backyard when I climbed up that tree and pushed April off and you change places with her? Just like that, I want you to change places with me. Please concentrate, Love.' Nik said gently but outwardly, his face remained stone cold. There is a good chance that Emilio might actually shoot. Nik was ready to give up his life for mine.

"But??" I didn't want Nik to die.

"Do as I say Avalyn." He knew exactly what I was worrying about. And I was ashamed that I didn't have the courage to fight against it. I just needed to get away from Emilio.

I closed my eyes and concentrated. Just as Nik said. But then I couldn't truly concentrate when all I could think about was Emilio's hand on my body. The man I despised and feared the most was holding me captive. Again.

'Concentrate harder, Avalyn.'?Nikolai gritted.

"Fine." I heard Nikolai say as I concentrated harder. "But we will keep your men as slaves."

"You are in no position to order me but since I'm a generous man, you can keep them." Emilio smirked. There were several growls of protests at that.

I concentrated harder. I imagined Nik being in my place and I in his. I imagined us exchanging places. I so desperately imagined that.

I never truly believed in moon goddess. But in that moment, I prayed to her. I prayed to her to help me use my powers. And that if we got out of this alive, I will never doubt her existence.

He pushed his groin against my ass again and I could feel his hardness. Tears spilled down my cheeks. I can't. I can't.?I can't...

My powers weren't working and I was getting desperate here. Frustration filled me. I hated his touch. I hated being held by him. I hated this. I just wanted to be free.

"Release her.?Now." Nikolai growled furiously.

"Not right away. I do not trust you to follow through your word. Escort us out, only after that will I let her go." Emilio's hold on me tightened.

'It's not happening, Nik.'?I said frantically, disappointed in myself, tears quickly filling up my eyes again.

'Look at me.' My eyes snapped to his black ones. 'Remember the spanking I gave you today?' I have him an small nod. Even though I had healed myself, the imprint of it hadn't left my mind. My ass will always remember what it felt like.

'That will feel like a feather's touch if you do not exchange places with me right away. I will fucking belt you if you take a second longer Avalyn.'?A tremble shot down my spine at Master's words and I shut my eyes to focus again. 'Forget Gonzalez. Forget everyone else. Focus on?me.?I'm?your fucking Master. Not him. Me.?Only?me. You do as?I?say. You follow?my?command. Now do as I fucking say. At once!'?Another tremble shot down my spine at his words.

I heard some noise and my eyes snapped open and that's when I realised that it worked! My powers worked!

In front of me, I saw Master twist out of Emilio's hold, having a tight hold over the hand which held the gun and then brought it to Emilio's temple, easily overpowering him.

"Bring the chains. Tie them all up." Master growled as he held him captive. "Kill anyone who does not comply. The war is over. We have won."

Nikolai

I tightened my arms around Ava as she sobbed into my chest. Warm shower water fell over our heads, washing away all the dirt and sweat that coated our bodies and the blood that coated mine.

"You are safe now, Ava. In my arms. I'm never letting you go." I softly cooed in her ears. "You did good, Love. You were so brave out there??" she began shaking her head in denial.

"I wasn't." She sobbed in a hoarse voice.

"Yes, you were. I'm very,?very?proud of you Avalyn." I kissed the top of her head. "You leave me in awe of your strength."

Her arms just tightened around me and I rocked her in response.

"I felt?so?weak,?so?powerless." She whispered, her voice thick.

"I promise you that you will never have to feel like that again. I will train you, I will do whatever I need to do. And then you will be able to use your powers at your whim." I caressed the soft skin of her back. "You won't need me to order you to focus, nor will you need me to threaten you with a punishment."

"It's the only thing that seems to work." I heard a smile in her words.

"And we will change that soon." My hands moved over the curve of her back before settling over her ass. I caressed it before I started moulding and squeezing it. "I love you, Ava. Every fucking inch of you. So much."

"And I love you, Nik. All of you. More than anything." She stepped out of my hold. "Bathe me, Nikolai." She ordered softly. "Wash away his touch."

"As you wish,?Moya Lyubov." And I did. I lathered soap all over her body before rinsing it thoroughly, removing another man's touch and making my claim again.

I held her soft moulds in my palms before kissing each one. "These are mine." I pinned her with my eyes. "No one will touch these, expect me. No one will touch you except me, period." I vowed.

"Thank you." She stood on her toes and kissed me softly.

"You don't have to thank me. It's my job to protect you. I actually half expected you to get mad at me." I scratched the back of my head. "I did a bad job of doing it today."

"You were busy saving lives, Nikolai. You were busy saving our pack. I understand." She said softly. "And you saved me, and that's all that matters."

"But I should have??" She pinched my side, silencing me effectively.

"If I had known that pinching you worked, I would have done it ages ago." A smile cracked on her face.

"I don't think anyone has ever pinched me." That made her very happy. It was amusing to be honest.

"I'm your first." She grinned and pinched my abs again.

"You have a lot of my firsts, Ava. This shouldn't surprise you." I turned off the shower and took out two towels, giving one to her.

"I don't think there are a lot."
