The Lycan King

"You can do it Avalyn. Concentrate." I told her.

We were in the patio right now and I was helping Ava use her powers. We hadn't done this before because we didn't know how to control it. And since hadn't been able to find a faye to help her, I had taken it upon myself to train her.

I had placed a bottle on a table in front of us and I had told Ava to use her mind power and lift it in the air.

We have been at it for almost an hour now but the bottle hasn't even moved a millimetre.

"I can't do it." She cried out of frustration.

"Remember how you willed Lisa to stand up from her kneeling position and sit besides Rhazien, we need that kind of determination Ava." I told her.

"But I didn't even do anything consciously." She frowned. "I just felt very strongly about her not kneeling."

"Do you remember when you saw me and Natalia in my office?" I asked her about the day she thought I cheated on her.

She gave me an unsure nod.

"I have cameras in the entire house Ava. I could see you running in the camera one second and you vanished the next." I told her. Everyone had freaked out. But we just thought it was a glitch in the camera but I now knew it wasn't.?

"We couldn't see you or smell you. What were you thinking at that time?" I asked her softly.

"Just that I wanted to be alone for some time. I didn't want anyone to find me." She whispered.

"Just like that, you have to think about moving this bottle." I told her.

She held my eyes and nodded.

She closed her eyes and concentrated. I could feel her trying really hard through the bond.

The bottle slowly but unsteadily lifted from the table. Ava's brown hair were turning white but then suddenly they turned brown again and the bottle crashed on the ground.

She eyes snapped open and she looked at the glass remains. She looked... defeated.

Suddenly an idea popped into my mind.

'Send in Ava's slave with a couple of daggers. Get her in full slave- mode.'?I mind-linked Sofiya.

"You know what? Sit down and lets take a break. We will practice aiming next. I think practicing your powers is enough for today." I told her and snatched a bottle of water, opening the cap and gulping some before offering it to Ava.

She took it from my hand and drank the rest of it after she plopped on the chaise next to mine.

"I don't think I can do it." She whispered.

"Don't be so tough on yourself. Its your first day." I said lightly. I saw the slave walk in with a bag in her hand. "The equipments are here."

She came and kneeled at my feet, extending the bag towards me.

"Master." She greeted.

"Alpha." I growled lowly.

Only my Ava can call me Master.

She trembled. "I'm sorry. Alpha." She gulped.

Ava was looking at me with a frown on her beautiful face. I focused on the matter in hand.

"What's your name?" I asked.

"April, Alpha." She whispered.

"So April, would you mind giving your life for me, if need arises?" I asked lightly, as if I was talking about the weather.

"No, Alpha." She whispered again.

"Fantastic." I grinned. "Go stand against that tree. We would like to do some target practice." I said and stood up, taking the daggers out of the bag.

"Are you serious?" Ava all but shrieked.

"Of course I am serious. You out of all people should know I don't joke about training and safety." I sounded perfectly offended.

"And what about her safety. Her?life?"?She was hysterical by now. I could feel her hurt, anger and betrayal through the bond.

"She just said she doesn't mind dying." I shrugged and picked up a dagger, twirling it around my fingers.

"She is a slave! Of course she will say that!" She said, her eyes wide. "Are you actually going to throw them at her?"

"Are you crazy, Love? Of course not. No need to waste a perfectly good slave like this. I am going to aim at the tree, just her outlines. But there is a possibility it may hit her, and she might get hurt or die..." I trailed and offered her the dagger.
