The Lycan King

Nikolai

It was a few hours later when I was sitting on the couch, looking at Max who was dodging the bullets my security pelted him with, as he ran across my backyard and finally dove in the living room, breaking the glass.

Why the fuck is he only in boxers?

A bullet was lodged in the back of his calf, making him bleed profusely.

"You took your time." I said drily, not feeling sorry for him at all.

His head snapped up and he looked at me. "Nikolai." He breathed.

"You reek of sex and alcohol." I told him.

Guilt clouded his face and his eyes lowered.?Damn right. He should have a better control over himself.

"It's nothing." I waved away the security that had had opened the windows to come in and get the intruder. They nodded and left.

"What do you want?" I asked him. I have lost all respect for him.

"Talia." He whispered.?The audacity?of this guy!

"Take a fucking shower and wear some clothes first." I spat.

He nodded and bent down, removed the silver bullet from his leg, hissing as he did so. He threw it on the floor and stood up again.

"April." I called the slave. She came running in the living room.?

"Show him to the washroom and then giving him some clean clothes." I told her, not taking my eyes off Max.

He left with her and then I sighed. How the hell can he do this? He cares about Natalia. I know he does. He has ever since she was thirteen and we found her. I also knew that he had a thing for her back then.

Once Ava came in, I pulled her in my lap. "How is she?"

It feels like I've been away from her since a very long time.

"In pain. I just got her to sleep." Her thumb traced the skin under my eyes. "You need more sleep, Nik."

"So do you." I murmured and brought her head down to kiss her full lips.

"Max is here." I told her. She stiffened at his name.

"He hurt her bad, Nik." She whispered. "She doesn't want to see him."

"I don't think anyone can keep him from seeing his mate. I don't want him to either but it's inevitable." I whispered.

"Damn right it is." Max said, entering the living room. He was freshly showered and was wearing my shorts and t-shirt.

At least he doesn't smell of sex.

Ava stiffened further and her hand clutched mine tightly. I rubbed soothing circles on her hand but that did nothing to help her.

"Where is she?" He asked us.

"She doesn't want to see you right now." Ava told him.

"Where the fuck is my mate?" He hissed, his eyes turning flickering between red and his normal brown colour.

But that wasn't the normal vampire-red colour. This was the much darker red, and it turned the white area around his eyeballs black.

He zipped up the stairs and Ava and I ran after him.
