The Lycan King

Chapter 4. Home

Nikolai

I took care of my business and walked to where I had told Ava to sit. I pressed the button for the back

massager of the recliner, I want her to relax, to enjoy herself. I took the seat in front of her and smiled

lazily at her.

"All good, Ava?" I asked.

"Yes, thank you Master." She whispered and smiled back lazily, a small moan coming out of her. I

groaned inwardly as my cock twitched at her sight, she had no idea of the effect she has on me. The

plane soon landed and we got off, my men following me; Alexander and Isabella appearing behind us.

"Thank you Alpha Nikolai, I owe you one. Call me when you need help. I mean it." He nodded sharply

and I got the meaning.

"Yes, thank you so much Alpha Nikolai." Isabella said, her voice thick with emotions.

"Pleasure was all mine. Stay safe." I nodded at both of them and walked to my car.

My pleasure indeed, I thought as I tightened my hold on Ava's waist.

Mikhail and Vladimir followed me in my car, this was Silverwitch Bay, most of it was under my rule and

no one would dare to cross my path here. Ava was looking out of the window, fascinated by the view.

"Have you told Sofiya yet?" Mikhail smirked at me.

"She will know once we get home." I glared at him. He rolled his eyes at me. That woman is going to

annoy the shit out of me for not telling her before bringing Ava home.

Soon, we reached home. The gates were opened and after a minute's ride, we reached the driveway.

The mansion overlooked the Silverwitch Bay and I could see Ava trying to look past the palm trees to

the beach, eager to see everything.

"We can go to the beach in the evening if you want." I told her, guiding her through the entrance steps

to the door.

As soon as we reached, the guards and the slaves, now dressed appropriately as maids, as per my

instructions, bowed their heads. A sign of respect. I nodded at them.

"Call Dimitri." I told one of the slaves and walked to the living room.

"Can't live without me for a second, can you?" Dimitri smirked, already seated on the sofa.

"Reports?" I asked, ignoring his previous statement.

"No problems. But we may have to visit Club Lupus again though." He frowned. "And who is the lovely

lady on your arm?" He grinned as he noticed Ava who was almost hiding behind me.

"Avalyn." I replied with a look that spoke volumes. The flirty smile was swept off his face in an instant.

"Ava, meet Dimitri, my Beta." I told her softly, bringing her forward. She didn't need to hide or be

intimidated by the men here, they are family.

"Hello." She smiled at him. It was a stiff smile. I was rubbing circles on her waist with my thumb to calm

her.

"Nikolai! Why didn't you tell me? I heard you brought a girl home!" I heard an excited yell. Sofiya came

rushing into the living room.

"Finally a girlfriend in this boring house." She grinned and hugged Ava who stilled before looking at me.

I nodded, giving her a smile. She smiled back shyly and hugged Sofiya.

"Hi, I'm Sofiya, your new best friend slash sister." She grinned letting go of her and extending her arm

towards Ava.

"I'm Avalyn." She smiled softly and shook her hand shyly.

"Do you want to rest or do you want a tour of the Estate?" I asked Ava.

"A tour, please, Nikolai." She said immediately and her eyes shined as she looked around, fascinated

by everything.

"Very well. Sofiya will show you around the estate." I gave them a dismissive nod. "My office." I told my

men.

"Wait." Sofiya yelled. I turned around to check Ava, looking for any sort of problem.

Sofiya went to Vladimir and pulled him down by his tie to kiss him. I rolled my eyes. He was whipped.

"Geez, no need to yell Sofiya." Dimitri rolled his eyes at his sister and followed me to the office.

I look at my most trusted men- my Beta Dimitri, my Head Tracker Mikhail, my Head of Arms Andrei and

my Advisor Vladimir. I trusted them with my life. I was sworn to protect them and they were sworn to

protect me. They are my brothers, my family by choice.

Who says blood is thicker than water when your own father kills your mother? They are my real family,

the Volkovs.

"We have to bring the Monta?a Pack down."

One by one, I'm going to kill the bastards who owned Ava and tried to break her. The light in her shines

so bright, that it is needed in this world. Without it, something would be missing. I'm just thankful to

Moon Goddess that she's not completely broken. Because I've made it my life's mission to save her.

Avalyn

Sofiya is my friend, one I made after so many years. She is smart, happy and complete- something I

am not. I am broken, used and a whore, a slut, a slave, a pet.

Master said that I am beautiful but I doubt it. I believed him whole-heartedly, trusted him with my life but

this was hard to accept. He was my saviour, I would do anything for him, his wish was my command.

It had not even been a day since he saved me from him, from my own version of hell and gave me

hope, gave me a place to call home. I still think this is all a dream, that Master would give me away

once he was bored of me. I made it my life goal to be the perfect slave for him. He didn't like it when I

called myself that but I didn't know what else to call myself. That's what I've always been, a slave, a

means for others pleasure.

I would serve Master with my whole heart, be the perfect slave, but most Masters didn't want a perfect

slave, they wanted someone to punish, someone to hurt. But my Master hadn't hurt me even when I

made several mistakes, maybe he is different, better than him.

I just wanted to make Master happy, his happiness gave me happiness.

"Hey Avalyn. Are you okay?" Sofiya asked me, looking concerned.

"Yes, I was just thinking." I smiled at her.

I really liked her, she was sweet and kind and talked to me throughout the tour even when I hardly

answered. The house was so pretty, it was so much better than my previous house where I was

supposed to stay in my assigned room, only to be brought out when and where he wanted me. I had

hardly stepped out of that house in eight years. And now this new life was my dream come true.

"Lets go, Nikolai must be waiting for you." She smiled and guided me to where Master would be. I was

scared, what if he didn't like that I kept him waiting? Would he punish me?

"Go to your man and I'll go find mine." Sofiya winked at me as she left me in a hallway.

Master was facing away from me, talking to Andrei. Sofiya had told me about everyone. Dimitri was her

brother, I could see the resemblance and the rest were just people Master had helped along his way

and had somehow ended up joining the family. The most trusted men took the Volkov surname and

became family, it was the greatest honour. Sofiya's last name was Volkov too.

Do I go stand next to him or call him? I didn't want him to think I was trying to listen to things by walking

up next to him so I decided to call him.

I remembered he told me to call him by his name if we were not alone.

"Nikolai." I called out softly but he heard and turned around swiftly, a small smile covering his face. His

smiles were reserved just for me, I hadn't seen him smile in front of anyone else and that made me feel

special.

"We will talk later." He told Andrei, not taking his eyes off me. He came towards me, kissed my lips,

making me feel all giddy.

"Lets go to the beach, Ava." He whispered against my mouth and stood straight, his arm going around

me, holding my waist. I loved it when he did that, it meant that he was protective about me, showing

everyone else that I was his- his and his only.

I nodded.

"Yes, please." I said when I remembered to use my words. He didn't want me silent like he wanted me

to be, he only wanted my screams and begging but Master wanted my voice and who was I to deny

him what he wanted?

We walked towards the back of the house and went down a small trail, reaching the beach. It was

rocky at first but then there was soft sand. It was just a patch, I could see the rocks a little further,

blocking the way on either side of the sand, separating us from the outside world. It was a private

beach.

Tears sprung in my eyes at its beauty, the sun was setting and the water was reflecting different

colours. It was the most beautiful sight I had ever seen!

"Why are you crying, Kroshka?" Master asked, his lips brushing my ear. I shivered at the feeling, at his

closeness, at him speaking in Russian and calling me 'little one'. I had never felt so...cherished before.

"Its my first time seeing a beach, Master, thank you so much. Its so beautiful." I told him, I was truly

thankful that he came in my life, saved me. "It's also been so long since I have been outside." I said

softly, thinking about the only time the he let me go out, it was only in the backyard because he wanted

to fuck me there or to his other clubs where he fucked me in front of other people or let them fuck me.

More tears streamed down my face at the memory.

"You are free now, my Ava. You can go wherever you want. I just want you to inform me and take

Andrei, who is now your personal bodyguard, or some other guard I assign you, at all times." Master

said quietly, his fingers digging in my waist.

He was angry, not at me but at the ones who did this to me. I felt like I knew him. More importantly, I

understood him.

"Yes Master, thank you Master." I tried to calm myself. I didn't want to taint this beauty with my past.

"Remove your shoes Ava." He said kneeling to remove his own. I removed mine quickly.

"Feel the sand beneath your toes."

I did as he said it was a weird, squishy feeling. I loved it.

"Let's go in the water." Master said taking a hold of my hand and walking beside me in the water. I

jumped a bit when a cold wave washed over my feet. It was so cold!

"It's just water, Love." He chuckled at my reaction.

His laugh, his smile was so beautiful, his eyes creased around the ends and eyes twinkled. If my

Master wished, I would bear the cold water. We walked a bit ahead until the water came to my mid

stomach. It was still so cold but it didn't feel as chilly as the first time, I felt almost numb to the cold by

now.

"Ava, when we are together, only then you will come this far or as far as I say in the water, otherwise

only till it touches your knees. Understood?" He asked seriously as he looked at the setting sun.

"Yes Master." I nodded happily. He cared for me and worried about me. That was enough for me.

"Good girl. It is for your own safety, people flow away in the water during high tides, you have to be

careful." He then turned to look at me.

"Fuck, Ava, you should have told me you were cold!" He snapped and picked me up and walked back

to the shore before placing me down again. My eyes widened, how did he know? I even controlled my

shivering!

"You have to tell me these things! I shouldn't have brought you in the water when the winter is close."

He was angry again, trailing his hands through his hair. I never wanted to make him mad.

"I'm sorry Master." I said looking down. He was always trying to protect me or do good things for me

and I messed everything up.

"You will tell me how you really feel Ava, not what you think will make me happy." He said softly now,

taking a hold of my hand and taking me to the house again, both our footwear in his hand. My Master

touched my shoes! Oh no!

"Please let me hold our shoes Master." I pleaded, my hand extending to hold both our shoes. It was so

wrong of me to even let him touch my- his slave's shoes, let alone carry them, I should be the one to do

it for both of us.

"Just keep walking." He gritted and moved fast to the house. I had to run behind him to keep up with

his long strides.

"Go to the washroom and take a hot shower to warm up quickly." He ordered and entered the house,

dropping our shoes out of the big window that opened up to the backyard.

My gaze went back to them but his glare sent me running to my room. Sofiya had told me to stay in his

room, but I requested the closest room to Master's bedroom. I didn't want to assume that Master would

want to share his bedroom with me. Masters and slaves don't stay together or sleep on the same bed.

Yesterday night was different, probably because there was only one bed in the hotel room and he was

kind enough to allow me to sleep on it. I quickly stripped and started taking a hot bath, just as

instructed.

I heard some shouting outside.

"Where the fuck is she?" Master's voice! I immediately turned off the water and ran out to find him.

"Calm down Nikolai, she is fucking terrified of you!" Sofiya yelled at him.

Oh no!

"You do not tell me what to do." Master growled. No! He shouldn't punish her! It was my fault.

"I'm sorry Master." I went near him and kneeled at his side, silently begging him to not punish Sofiya.

She was so good to me, she did nothing wrong. It was my fault, I told her to give me another room.

My eyes were trained on the floor, hands placed on my thighs and knee spread apart so he could see

my pussy??the perfect position for a slave to await punishment, this should calm him down.

"Get out of here." I heard Master angrily whisper and tears filled my eyes. This was it, he didn't want

me anymore! I looked up at him to see that he was facing Sofiya. He had told it to her! Not me! Yes!

She was looking at both of us with wide eyes, her eyes tearing up at my sight and she ran away. At

Least she was safe now, I didn't want her to face the consequences of my mistakes.

"Get up Avalyn." I trembled at my full name. He only called me that when he was angry.

"Go to my room and get done with your shower." He said pointing towards his room, his voice empty. I

wanted to cry but I forced myself to obey his command. I wanted his sweet voice, loving voice, angry

voice, harsh voice but I couldn't take this hollow tone.

I went into the washroom and started the shower. Tears were streaming down my face but I tried to

calm myself, Master wouldn't want me to cry. I heard the door open after sometime, I turned around to

see Master's naked form enter, joining me in the shower. He pushed my hands away and started

scrubbing my body for me. I loved it when he bathed me, when he took gentle care of me.

"I'm sorry Master, I had told Sofiya to give me another room, don't punish her. I did it because I didn't

want to assume that you would want to share a room with me." I said softly, trying to make him see my

point of view.

"You don't have to assume things with me. If you have any doubts, just ask me. I just got worried when

I didn't you in the bathroom, especially because I explicitly told you to do so." He said quietly, still

rubbing my body. "For a split second I thought something happened to you or you ran away."

He had never taken advantage of when he bathed me, he washed me everywhere but his hands never

stayed at one place more than necessary. It was his way of respecting me and I loved that. He was

giving me the things I never had, the things I never thought I deserved- love, respect and dignity.

"Master, I trust you, I know everything you do is for my good. I would never run away, I want to stay

with you." I took the chance and began washing him, returning his favour. I wasn't scared anymore.

Deep down, I always knew that he was a good man. But the fears of my past creeped up the last time,

something I won't allow now.

He stood still as I washed his chiseled body, worshipping him, serving him. I wanted to give his cock

the release it seemed to need, but, Master had told me no, so I would wait.

We both got dressed and went to the dinning room for dinner. Master sat at the head of the table and

made me sit on his right side, Dimitri sat facing me, Vladimir sat next to me and Andrei was in front of

him, then Sofiya and Mikhail next to Vladimir. Sofiya just smiled at me slightly when I entered, not

talking to me or looking at me otherwise. It hurt to know that the only friend I had made didn't like me

anymore, because of my past.

The dinner was silent, as if everyone could feel the tension radiating in the air. Master and I left

immediately after dinner.

"You can talk to Sofiya, tell her about yourself if you want." Master told me once we were in his room.

"She hates me." I said looking down.

"No one can hate you, Love. She just doesn't understand you." he whispered and kissed me.

He kissed me softly and gently at first, his tongue skimming over my lips and kissing me again. His

fingers were tangled in my hair and the other hand on my waist. He sucked on my bottom lip and then

bit it, pushing his tongue in my mouth when I gasped. I tried keeping up with his pace but it was of no

use, his tongue owned my mouth, just like he did my heart, body and soul. His fingers were digging in

my scalp as he took control of the kiss, of my heart, of my entire being and I surrendered to him. No

one had kissed me like this, it was always against my will, leaving me disgusted but Master's kisses

healed me, piece by piece, mending me back.

I love you.
