AVA KILLIAN Ava held onto Axel, who was gradually losing consciousness, but he tried hard to gain control of himself, despite being unable to stand properly. With a single snap, he broke the arrow buried in his arm, closer to his chest, without removing it in order not to lose blood. "We need to get to the Capital before dawn," Axel’s voice was gruff. "You need to rest. I'll check around for help, maybe a traveler, farmer, or anyone! You are poisoned," Ava panicked as Axel held her tightly with a deadly glare. "I can hold on. Let’s get back to the palace now!" he growled. "I could bring help from the palace, Father," Flynn proposed, looking worried for his father, as Axel gently patted his shoulder. "I’ll be fine. We need to get to the palace. Can you mount your Direwolf? They are almost bigger than a pony. They are safer than the enemy's horse," Axel questioned, as the lethality of the poison coursed through his bloodstream, causing excruciating pain. He was drenched in
AVA KILLIANAva watched as the Grand Maester and the physicians tended to Alpha Axel in his chamber. He was lying there unconscious, and just beside him was Darcy. The Grand Maester had checked her and told Ava she was merely in a state of shock due to the cruel number of acupuncture needles used on her, and she would recover soon.This gave Ava a breath of relief as the Grand Maester continued to decoct the poison antidote. Though he had given Axel a series of neutralizers, the physician worked on the several fatal injuries on his body.All the injuries were inflicted by Cahir: the unhealed gashes from the Death Pit and the wound from the poisoned arrow that took him down.As the physician removed the arrow, which was about an inch deep into his arm, Ava's heart ached while the other nurses applied pressure.Suddenly, a familiar voice shot into the room."Oh! My king, you are back! Thank the Goddess, I have been so worried—you can't imagine to what extent," Kaila exclaimed as she dra
AVA KILLIAN "You'll do no such thing," a voice broke in—it was Henri's. Ava could see the shock on Kaila's face when she heard Henri walk into the room. Shouldn't Henri be dead by now? "You! You? How did you escape?" Kaila asked, her brows furrowed. "You should leave, Kaila. The king's health is paramount. Don't yell here," Henri said. "You can't tell me what not to do! Let this woman be locked up at once! You do not have the authority to command me around," Kaila yelled as the guards walked toward Ava. Ava stepped backward, seeing that Kaila held significant power over them after being made Queen Consort. "Don't you dare touch the king's..." Henri started but paused, thinking of what to call Ava—whether the king's slave or mate. The king hadn't yet pronounced her his mate. "Don't touch her!" Henri simply said, and the guards halted. Jared Ashtower came in and slipped his hand into Ava's. The slight touch sent shivers down her spine as she looked up at his handsome face. "I'll
AVA KILLIAN The garden lake lay quiet and serene, its surface shimmering under the late afternoon sun. Ava often wandered here when she needed a moment of peace, a chance to breathe in the calm beauty of nature away from the watchful eyes of the palace. As she stepped around a curve in the path, she stopped abruptly. Just a few feet away, by the edge of the lake, stood a small figure—Prince Ansel. He was crouched by the water, tossing stones and watching as they splashed and disappeared into the depths. Ava hadn’t expected to see him here, but she smiled, thinking perhaps it was a chance to make a gentle introduction. “Hello, Your Highness,” she greeted softly, stepping forward so he would notice her. The young prince looked up, and immediately his expression shifted. His gaze grew cold, startlingly so for a child his age. He stood, brushing his hands off on his fine tunic, his mouth curling in distaste. “So, you’re the king’s Slave," he said, his voice sharp that Ava was bro
AXEL VOSS It had been over a week and there was no sign of Axel waking up from his unconsciousness, the maester's and the physicians never left his side for once. Working hard for the recovery of the king, Both using the medical and ancient methods, Apparently the poison Cahir had shot him with was unlike any they'd ever seen—a foul blend of aconite-wolfsbane and silver powder, Lupine’s Bane, crafted to hunt him. It leeched through his blood, burned his muscles, suffocated his bones.. This had essentially destroyed his regenerative ability and rendering him unconscious for this long, and worst preventing any natural recovery. Inside his mind, a storm of memories came. Axel was trapped in a pit of despair where past horrors played on an endless loop, darkened visions seared into his closed eyes. His consciousness was fractured, seized by the primal instinct of his wolf nature, but unable to release him from the cage of his human pain, as his mind still swirl and suffer the ordeal
AVA KILLIAN Ava’s eyes slightly open, barely slits, enough to glimpse the physicians hovering around her battered body. Pain flared through her every limb, a raw and relentless ache that turned even the slightest movement into a fresh torture. Fractured memories tore through her mind, replaying the ordeal of the night before—a night consumed by the monstrous rage of Alpha Axel. Alpha Axel had become something else, something far darker than she’d thought possible. Any trace of humanity in his gaze was snuffed out, replaced by an icy void that left her shocked in terror. His heart, if he still had one, had calcified into unfeeling stone. The hatred she saw in his eyes that night wasn’t human; it was a venomous fire, far beyond anything she’d ever seen. He had changed to an entire new beast, And it looked like all his hatred for her had only become heightened. Ava had thought she was beginning to understand Axel, she thought she was beginning to build something, at all a trus
AVA KILLIAN "Would you kill me for ?" Ava asked and Jared was taking aback for a second, it was a knight's duty to protect, and even kill anyone who poses harm to those under their protection.He took it that way and replied."Ofcouse I would." Jared had said.Ava had now somehow left the palace in protection of Jared, "For me to trust you and your words, you should be able to at least keep this little secret with you" Ava had said to him. And Jared kept to his words and illegally brought Ava outside the palace to the ocean's shore where ashes of the dead, the ashes of capital sinners, and unclaimed body were disposed.Layla's ashes was most probably disposed there too, She wanted to visit Layla's resting place first, and make her promise to her. Ava took a deep breath as the ocean stretched before her, the breeze blowing on her face and for a brief moment she could perceive that sweet scent of Layla. Her kindness, her loyalty. Dieing unjustified like that made her heart ache, she
AXEL VOSSThe room felt more like a dungeon than a chamber, its cold stone walls pressing in on everyone present. Alpha Axel stood with his intimidating gait, his cold gaze cutting through the tension like a blade. No one dared meet his eyes for long, not even the guards stationed by the doors. Ava stood tall, her presence as sharp and unyielding as Axel’s own, despite the attack she’d barely survived, which made Axel wonder.Jeremy knelt on the floor, shackled and trembling. A thick muzzle strapped across his face silenced his panicked breaths. His wrists were raw, and the other fists had been chopped off and were still dripping with blood, his resolve crumbling under the weight of the stupid things he had done.The evidence against him was hard—he’d dared to strike at the King’s property, and there would be no mercy. Especially since the King came back from the DarkSword Pack. He had been colder and wilder than he had actually been before.“Your Majesty,” the royal physician spoke c
AXEL VOSS Whilst Evanora stood, eyes shut, magic whipping out of her hand, without hesitation, Evanora reached for Bellerosé's beast, ripping the collar from her neck with a flash of golden power. Darcy raced to Flynn and Cavil, shattering their cursed collars one after another. The spell broke instantly. The children collapsed to their knees beside their wounded mother and Brother Axlis gasping, weeping as the dark fog cleared from their minds and they shifted to their human form. "Mommy!" Bellerosé sobbed, pressing his tiny bloodstained hands against Ava's torn side. "Mommy, I'm sorry!" Ava’s beast, barely conscious, nuzzled them weakly, her silver eyes dimming but still full of endless, unconditional love. Kaila, seeing the damned whip wasn't working again, sprinted out of the pavilion, but Nyxar, the towering direwolf which was under Darcy's mind control, pounced on her before she could even move an inch. Jaw closed on her arm, tearing it from her body, scream tore her thro
AVA KILLIAN Together, the two rageful beasts, Alpha Axel and a towering Lycan beast that was Ava, turned to Cahir. Cahir's hand trembled; the sight before him terrified him to death.... And then so quickly, the other Alphas loyal to Cahir snarled and shifted into their wolf forms, knowing if Cahir dies, Alpha Axel will kill them all who betrayed him. They have to fight, or they lose their neck if Alpha Axel wins this battle; their beasts snarled at Alpha Axel's. About twelve beasts charged straight for Alpha Axel’s massive black beast; Axel met them head-on with a juggernaut of destruction. His claws ripped through flesh with rage and savageness, tearing through every flesh and muscle. He moved like a god of death, crushing their throats, snapping their spines, blood soaking the floor beneath him. One wolf lunged for his throat—Axel caught it mid-air, his jaws closing around its head with a crunch. Another tried to flank him, but Axel’s massive paw struck it aside, sending the
AVA KILLIAN The door of the pavilion fell open with a crash. All heads turned sharply, and Henri stormed in first, his armour torn, his face splattered in blood. Right behind him stumbled Ava Killian, her dress ripped and soaked crimson with the blood of Cahir’s rebels. The rebels of Cahir have stormed the palace, and the soldiers loyal to the house of the Lycans are fighting, but the rebels of Cahir Cole are too much and prepared; half the soldiers of Alpha Axel died from the poison in the event wine. Henri, seeing that Alpha Axel had been held hostage, unsheathed his swords in one smooth, savage motion, stepping protectively in front of Alpha Axel. Ava wasn't looking at anyone. Her eyes had locked onto the far side of the hall— Her children. "Axlis! Bellerosé, Flynn and Cavil!" she screamed in horror. The little Lycans were lined in possession of Cahir Cole, pale, their tiny bodies unmoving, heavy iron collars digging into their throats. Ava's heart shattered. "No... no, no
AXEL VOSS Alpha Axel couldn't believe his ears; there was no way this was the truth. He's lived his life believing Alys was his daughter. He has lived his life surrounded by power-hungry betrayals; whilst he punishes his only fate-bound mate, his heart hurts. The words hammered against his skull, impossible to accept. His hands shook where they rested on the throne’s arms, and his throat felt like it was closing up. "You’re lying," he rasped, voice raw. "Alys is my daughter." Kaila only laughed, a cruel, broken sound, her smirk infuriating him. He hoped desperately she stopped telling him Alys wasn't his daughter, even though she died, but were all the memories lies? Kaila took a taunting step toward him. She stopped so close he could feel her breath brush his face. She wasn't even scared that he would snap her head off her neck at that moment. He knew Axel wanted her to tell him that she was lying and Alys was actually his daughter, but she moved closer to his ear. "No, Axel,"
AXEL VOSS Axel knew Cahir had prepared beyond his expectations before he could dare enter into his court to pull this play. It was too audacious, and he didn't know what to expect. But he had conquered houses and packs; he would handle Cahir. He sat and asked him, “Cahir Cole, enemy of the realm,” he called calmly. “What do you want?” Cahir’s laughter echoed through the hall – so hysterical and raw and jarring – so long before he stilled, his eyes gleaming with viciousness as he stepped closer to the throne, to Alpha Axel. "You know… just some months ago, you were in my death pit fighting for your life... And somehow you crawled back into your tower... You think so little of me that you didn't prepare for war; you were too relaxed." Cahir said, "Answer my question." Alpha Axel growled so sharply at him the hall shook. Cahir looked around and laughed again, "Impressive." He said, "You ask what I want?" His voice was low, serrated with hatred. "I want your head on a spike,
AXEL VOSS One thing he had ever hated and feared was becoming like the mad king, or ever giving impression of the mad king to the people, his vision was different, to stop oppression by the Mad King and to actually lead the realm to its Apex and make it as the most powerful in the world. Whilst he planned to revenge on the mad King and make his seeds pay, he realised that sometimes a bad fruit produces good fruit, and Ava? Ava Killian was the good fruit the Mad King had produced, and he was wrong for treating her this badly from the onset, she was innocent and a victim of circumstances, Guilt suffocated him the moment Henri carried her out of the pavilion of pleasure, All these allegations that was ever made against Ava he never truly investigated, when he could simply investigate and go deep into the matter. But now, he knew he hard truly sinned against their mate bond, his inner wolf is angry, it turns out his inner wolf had never shared his hatred for Ava, the way he buried h
AVA KILLIAN Tears filled Ava's vision as she looked straight at Alpha Axel; his expression was cold as ice, and he didn't budge; he just stared directly at her like she was nothing. "This is the part where I introduce my slave…" Alpha Axel said to the guests, and with all these wild-looking men's gazes directed at her, she was the main attraction. Some grinned with utmost hunger in their faces, and some smiled perversely. "This is Ava Killian, Princess of House of the Lycans, the Mad King's daughter." He announced, and murmurs erupted in the crowd. "Is she not the one we've heard killed your daughter, your majesty?" One of the men grinned; Alpha Axel's wrist clenched into a ball, and from Alpha Axel's silence, it was clear that the Lord had misspoken; he immediately kept mute. "Your mercy is immeasurable, your majesty; keeping her as your slave is too merciful." Another Alpha chimed in, with a goblet in his hand filled with wine, and about five slaves all over him, one suckin
"ouuu, see who we have here, Princess Ava of the House of Lycans..." A tall beautiful slim lady, walked towards Ava, she was stark naked, her body perfect, glowing under the light.. "Ohh see what's written there.. the King's Rejected Property" she said and the others laughed hysterically, Ava immediately stood up and ran to another corner of the large waiting room. She sat on the corner her arms wrapped tightly around herself as though that would shield her from the nightmare unfolding. Around her, the other women prepared—no, preened for the horrors coming from the pit of pleasures, as she looked around the room, about 80 females or more all naked and so engrossed with preparing, One with ink-black hair poured warm oil into her palm and massaged it slowly between her legs, humming softly like she was painting herself for a lover. Another girl lay back on a mat with her knees parted wide, as two others helped her stuff a whole bottle full of slick, honeyed oil into her vagina,
AVA KILLIAN It has been two days since she was locked in Alpha Axel's study room, no water no food, she had screamed her lungs out and no one came to check on her, Not even once did the door open to allow air inside, she lost air a lot of time and she had always rushed to the window crack to breath in the littlest. She had begged through the door that she would take any other punishment, not even a sound came from the door, Ava cried till she couldn't even cry anymore. She lost strength, sweat soaked the flimsy fabric she had worn since two days ago, her hair messy and unkempt, her lips dry and dehydrated, she wasn't at all in a good condition. Until the door finally burst open and Alpha Axel came in with his guards and Henri besides him, "Please.." Ava crawled towards the feet of Alpha Axel and A guard kicked her in the ribs before she could reach him. The sharp pain stole the breath from her lungs as her frail body was sent flying into a wooden shelf, toppling books and orna
