Avalyn "What do you want me to do?" I asked in a small voice as I followed Nik to his desk. "Come here," he said softly and pulled back his chair, casting it aside. Chewing on my bottom lip, I walked up to him as his eyes glowed with need. Need for me. "You know what that does to me," he said and pulled my lip out with his forefinger and thumb. He then placed a chaste kiss on my lips. Sparks flew across my entire body. My head spun at the intensity of our bond. "Bend over, Love," he said. Huh? "Bend over," he repeated, tapping the desk. Oh! Suppressing my grin by biting my lip, I bent over the desk, placing my palms over it. It had been so long since I had seen a glimpse of Master. I was craving him. I had missed him. "Don't laugh," he said and I felt a sting on my ass where he spanked me. Oops. He pushed up my skirt so it bunched around my waist. A gasp left my mouth when I felt him tear my underwear. "Nikolai!" I chided. "That was expensive." Sofiya had made me buy thou

Max's house wasn't as big as ours. But it had a warm vibe that I loved. It had a circular driveway in the front and the mansion was beige in colour with a brown roof. It was surrounded by a lot of trees and gave a secure, isolated-from-the-rest-of-the-world feeling. Which I suppose was good for a supernatural living in a human city. "Nice house," Nikolai said as we got out of our cars in the garage. From what we had seen, it really was. "Thanks," Max smiled, looking truly proud. Nat gave me a mischievous grin before he ran and jumped on Max's back, her arms around his neck and legs around his waist. "The fuck?" Max muttered but grabbed Nat so she wouldn't fall off. Nat giggled in his ears. "Yes, monkey, let's go get you a banana," Max chuckled and carried her inside. I laughed at their antics. I was happy for Nat. She looked happier than ever and Max was good for her. "Save the foreplay from the bedroom, Max," Nik rolled his eyes at them. "Oh, if you saw the foreplay, you'd kno

Avalyn On our way home, we stopped by the hospital to check in on Mikhail. His condition had worsened. He was in the ICU, put in an induced coma. The left side of his neck, shoulder, and chest was covered in bandages. An oxygen mask covered his nose and mouth, and several tubes trailed in and out of his body. It wasn't easy to see him like that. He must have been in so much pain. The doctors said that he was in too much pain and the spreading venom was just making it more painful. He only had a few more weeks to live. A month, at the most. The healers were trying something, but they weren't sure if it would be successful. They said that praying to the Moon Goddess was our last hope. But Goddess Luna wasn't that kind. Watching Mikhail like that was hurting Nik too much. He blamed himself. I knew he did. So I suggested that we let Mikhail rest in peace and go home for the day. Nik agreed. I didn’t think he could bear to watch his brother like that any more than I could. I tried to

The slaves had brought out two full hanging shelves. One held clothes for me and the other for Nik. All of them were red in colour. "Why red?" I asked. "Red is a sacred colour for vampires," Nik said as he went through his clothes. I hummed as I went through the beautiful dresses. I chose the most simple but elegant dress with maximum coverage in comparison to the rest of the dresses. It had a tight corset bodice that ended at the bottom of my ribs and the lower part was made of silk that reached the floor. The thing about the top was that it was see-through, but the intricate designs on it would cover my nipples well enough. At least my lower body would be covered entirely. I had noticed while entering the palace that vampires liked nudity. And they didn’t shy away from flaunting their bodies. The less cloth covering your body, the better. "Don't look at my dress." I hid it behind myself. "I want to surprise you." I smiled. "Fine. There must be a dressing room in here. You can

Avalyn My eyes fluttered open when a soft sound hit my ears. I groaned. I hated when my sleep was disturbed. Nik slapped his hand over my mouth. My eyes snapped open in shock. He placed his finger on his lips, gesturing me to remain quiet. 'I think we have some unwelcome visitors in the quarters,' he mind linked me, Vladimir, and Sofiya together. 'I will go first. Vladimir, come in thirty seconds. Girls, don’t go out of the room,' he said. 'Yes, Alpha,' Vladimir replied. 'Um, no. We can help!' Sofiya said. 'Yes!' I pleaded Nik with my eyes. 'Fine. But only if we are not done in two minutes.' He looked at me. I nodded, scared of what was to come. He took off the blanket quietly and took the sword that was given to him during the coronation. 'Use your dagger if you decide to come out. It will kill any vampire with a single strike anywhere on his body.' He looked at me intently before opening the door and slipping out quietly. I got out of bed and took the dagger in my hand. I lo
