The Lycan King

Avalyn

When I woke up next morning, Nik was already gone. But then it was nine in the morning. This was by far the most I've slept in a while.

I got out of bed and stretched my limbs, a huge smile gracing my features. Last night was... last night was hands down one of our most memorable nights.

I went the washroom and took a quick warm shower, soothing my sore muscles. Life is good.

When I stepped out, I saw Tessa in the room and a pile of clothes in her hand. "For you, Mistress."?

"Thank you, Tessa." I grinned. I was in a very good mood this morning.

"You're very welcome, Mistress. I'll go make your breakfast. Do you need anything?" She looked very worried.

"Why are you so worried?" I took off my bathrobe and started wearing the clothes she had got me.

"I was very scared for you last night, Mistress." Deep concern was etched on your features. "I don't ever want you to have to go through pain. Especially under the hands of the man you love so much." She whispered the last part.

"Pain?"

"You were screaming so much last night." She whispered, her hand over her heart. "Does Alpha Nikolai really punish you? I thought that only happens between Masters and slaves."

I clutched her hands in mine and squeezed lightly. "Let me assure you that everything that happened last night was amazing. And the screams that must have scared you were of pleasure. Of extreme, outer-worldly??" I stopped myself from saying too much. "You?know?Nik would?never?hurt me."

She let out a breath of relief. "I know, Mistress. He loves you very much. Anyone with or without eyes can see that. But I just got scared."

"The last thing you need to do is worry about me, especially when I'm with Nik. And I can take care of myself. Mostly." I added when I realised that Nik would be the first one to argue about it. And then I grinned at her. "Go make me breakfast." I swatted her behind playfully. "I'll have egg toasts and bacon."

She jumped, her eyes wide and a blush rose on her cheeks. "Yes, Mistress." And then she ran out of there.

I let out a chuckle. She still needed to get out of her shell.

I combed my hair and I decided that I loved the waves that were created because I braided it when my hair was wet.

When I finally went downstairs, I took a seat at the small dining table beside the kitchen and watched Tessa cook quickly and efficiently.

The door swung open and Max stepped in with a devious grin. "I smell food." He picked up an apple while Tessa was still preparing our breakfast.

"So...last night." Max said with the biggest smirk om his face.

"Shut up." A blush rose on my cheek. I mean I know we were loud??okay, I was loud, judging by Tessa's reaction. But I wasn't?that?loud. And while his cottage was the closest one to our's, it was still a considerable distance away.

Nikolai had taken the handcuffs from Max. Bad idea. Max never failed on giving shit to other people just for the fun of it. And it wasn't much later when I realised that you should never really take him seriously. All you would be is greatly offended or annoyed.

"That's not what you were doing last night. I distinctly heard some screams." His eyes twinkled.

"What?" Was I really that loud? Now I know why our bedroom back in Silverwitch Bay was soundproof. In fact, all the bedrooms there were soundproof.

"Don't worry. I was a gentleman. I made Talia scream loud enough to drown your's. So, you know, we wouldn't hear you two." He picked up an egg toast from the plate Tessa just placed in front of me.

I could feel the heat flowing in my cheeks. "Can you not?" I whined.

"So you?wanted?us to hear you?" I hope he chokes on that toast.

"No! That's not what I meant!" I covered my face. "You know what? Shut up!" And then I stuffed my mouth with the toast so I was saved from speaking and making a bigger fool of myself.

"Never." He grinned another wide grin.

I kicked his leg under the table and pulled my legs up on the seat. I folded my legs and gave him an angelic grin.

And then suddenly my chair rocked and then I felt the time slow down and my eyes bulged when the chair tipped over and I fell backwards.

For a second, silence reigned and I kept staring at the ceiling, before we both registered what just happened.

He freaking kicked my chair!

And then came his unabashed, booming laughter.

I jumped off the chair and lunged on him. "You- you hairless monkey!" I started punching him and he cracked up again, not in the least affected by my attacks.

"Hairless monkey?" He choked on his laughter. "Best thing I've heard in a while." He wheezed.

I was about to slap his chest but he caught my hand.

That's when the door opened.

"Babe! Avalyn is abusing me!" Max whined.
