The Lycan King

Avalyn

"Please get up Ava." He pleaded, his tone making me shiver. And it had nothing to do with the cold. It hardly bothered me right now.

I got up and kept my hands behind my back and chest out, it was a standing position for a slave. He picked up his shirt from the ground and made me wear it.

He was being so sweet to me when when I was so rude to him. I couldn't look in his eyes anymore, it hurt. It hurt because he was hurting and that hurt me more.

"Please, look at me, Love. What you saw is not what you think it was." My eyes watered at the use of nickname again but I didn't look at him anyways.

"I am sending Natalia undercover as a slave to a club, Ava. Its all business. I have not touched her in anyway. You have to believe me, I would never do that to you. You are my mate, my Luna, my Queen." Nikolai said softly.

My heart stopped when his words registered in my mind.

I sucked in a harsh breath and my eyes snapped to his. I had not even imagined that?this?could even be the reason behind his actions.

"I'm saying the truth,?Moya Lyubov."?He told me. I believed him. Every fibre inside of me believed in him.

Goddess, I was such a bitch to him, when he wasn't at fault at all. He was still apologising to me.

"Why?" I asked him. I needed to know why he was doing this.

"Emilio has sent a lot of people to spy on us, the one we encountered yesterday night were just a few of them. I have to retaliate. I'm not going to send my men to spy and get them killed for nothing. We recently got the information that he is opening a club in a month and we are going to send Natalia undercover. She has done it before and would do it again for the pack." He told me quietly. I could hear the sincerity in his voice. "I should have told you earlier. I'm sorry. I am not used to telling people what I do but I'll do better now. For you."

He is sending her to Emilio??Willingly??"He will hurt her a lot. They all will hurt her a lot." I whispered. He was practically setting the girl up to get tortured.

"This is a club,?Lyubov. He can't do something too harsh in front of a lot of people, he has to maintain his image." He told me. I nodded, it made sense.

"Did you really not touch her?" I asked him again just to be sure.

"No, I didn't. I would never hurt you like that. I would never cheat on you." He whispered. I believed him. Something inside me said that he was telling me the truth. "And if I had touched her??which I did not?? you would have known. As my mate, you would have felt the burn on your skin." His fingers brushed the back of my hand. "If anyone touches either of us with a sexual intent, the other one will feel it. The same goes if we touch someone else like that too. It's a supernatural thing. Your wolf might not be here but you?are?a supernatural and you?would?have felt it.?Please?believe be."

"I believe you." I whispered. I did. I truly did.

Your wolf is slowly coming out now. You are turning into a strong willed, confident and loving woman. The Alpha part of you that was suppressed for so many years is fighting with the part that has been trained to obey, to submit, the part that was taught to put others above yourself.
