The Lycan King

Nikolai

As soon as I saw Ava was about to collapse, I rushed around the treadmill and caught her before she fell. It hurt me to hurt her like this but it had to be done. Her wolf had be be brought out. The longer she went without her wolf, the harder if would have been for her wolf to come out. Then there would have come a time when her wolf would have died in isolation inside her head, killing Avalyn in the process.

"You did great, Love." I whispered as I pecked her lips.

I picked her in my arms and carried her out of the gym.

I was so goddamn proud of her. Doing as Vladimir suggested worked.

Her wolf is out!

I was carrying her up the stairs when I felt her body temperature rise. I could feel her wolf. She was really strong.

Ava's eyes snapped open and she stared up at me. They weren't the usual brown colour but pitch black. It was her wolf. I grinned at her.

Her temperature rose further and now it was starting to worry me.

"Ho-hot" she rasped out.

Fuck. It was happening. It was happening right now.

I ran down the stairs and into the backyard.

'Sofiya, Natalia, come fast and get a blanket. Fast. It's happening.'?I mind-linked them.

I sat on the grass and sat Ava in my lap.

"You're shifting Ava." I smiled at her.

She blinked her eyes up at me and gave me a wobbly smile.

"It hurts." She whispered and a tear leaked out of her eye.?I know, Love, I know.

"I'm here with you. We will get through this together. I want you to stay strong, I'm here with you." I told her softly and brushed back her hair from her forehead. Her skin was clammy because of the heat and sweat.

Vladimir jumped out of a window and zipped besides us.

He touched her forehead and closed his eyes for a second.

"It's time." He told me, giving me a nod.

"Avalyn, I want you to allow whatever is happening, don't try to stop your wolf." He told her.

She gave him a short, shaky nod. Her eyes clouded again and turned pitch black again before turning pale blue, like of the sky. She was going to have a beautiful wolf.
