The Lycan King (Book 1)
Chapter 46. Pamper

Avalyn

"I wish I could do something to help him." I whispered.

We were sitting in the infirmary by Mikhail's side. His entire neck and shoulder has turned black andis decaying. He smelt of death already and he hadn't opened his eyes since yesterday night. Hisheart was beating normally but Grace said that he would suffer for a couple of more weeks beforehe would die.

"Let's see what we replace in Mozog." Nikolai murmured.

We can't let him die. Mikhail was our brother.

I vow to replace something to help him. He was out there because of me. He is hurt because of me."Let's go." Nik held my hand and stood up. Following his lead, I stood up too and left with a lastglance at Mikhail.

Nikolai was hurt. I could feel it through the bond. But he was staying strong for all of us. Didn't heknow he didn't have to pretend in front of me?

"Are your bags packed?" He asked me.

"Yes. April helped me." I murmured.

"Good." He said as he took both our bags and carried them out to the car.

Today was the day we were going to Mozog with Sofiya and Vladimir. Andrei was staying back tolook after the pack and Mikhail.

Rhazien, along with his mate and the other vampires had left the day before for preparations.Preparations for what? I don't know.

After a two hour drive, we reached the airport and boarded a private flight. During the flight, Nikand Vladimir worked while Sofiya and I spent our last hours together.

I was going to miss her dearly. She was my first friend and I don't think I can ever get used to hernot being at home with me.

We talked about any and everything before Nik called us back and told us to take our seats becausewe were about to land.

Mozog as a total of six hours away from our pack, including road and air travel. It was going to bedifficult to visit often but I'm sure we will manage it.

The first thing I noticed when we reached that the Kingdom of Mozog was perched up on amountain. And on the very top of it was a castle.

It looked very small from were we were standing right now but I was sure it's going to humongous.It was out-of-the-world beautiful. A lush layer of green coated the mountain and I could see theroofs of the houses in between. I now understand why Vladimir missed his home so much.

"It's so beautiful.” I said as I looked out of the window from the car. We were climbing the mountainand Vladimir told us that we would reach in an half an hour.

"You should see the palace. You will love it.” Sofiya was amused at my amazement.

"Can't wait." I smiled.

I hadn't been in the mountains since I was in Montana Pack. But then again, I didn't really leave thehouse so much.

The world was too beautiful to stay in one place. I wanted to see so many places and visit a lot ofcountries with Nik.

The density of houses increased and I knew we were in the main city. As we passed houses, theirsizes kept increasing, indicating the growing wealth of people as we reached nearer to the palace.A blank mask was in the place of Nik and Vladimir's faces. I wondered what they were thinkingabout. Nik's link was closed and I had no idea what he was feeling.

Slowly, we entered the gates of the palace. It was made out of white marble and real gold. Guardswere stationed at specific points, bowing as our car passed from near them.

Another gate appeared and the driver stopped the car in front of it.

Two men stepped forward and opened doors from both the sides. Nik and I slid out from one doorand Vladimir and Sofiya from the other.

"Do not react to the slaves. You will ignore them."?Nik mind-linked me.

Slaves?

What was he talking about?

All I could see was happy and welcoming people standing, waiting for us to come in.

When we stepped in through the gate I saw more people. The path for us was clear to the doors ofthe palace by the guards who held the people back.

Nik extended his arm and I took it.

He led us through down the carpet as the people bowed down in front of us. Vladimir and Sofiyawalked just behind us.

We climbed up the marble steps of the castle and entered through the gold doors.

My pace slowed as I took in the interior.

The word 'beautiful’ wasn't enough to capture the essence of this palace. Tall marble pillarsintricately carved with gold supported the palace.

It was surreal.

The sides of the passage was bordered with water and different types of flowers floated on it,releasing a sweet fragrance.

Four armed and armoured guards surrounded, forming a square around us. They led us through thepalace and through another set of doors.

They let us enter through the doors while they stood outside, guarding it.

Vladimir closed the doors behind us and just like that, we were left alone. We were in a huge roomwhich looked like the royal version of a living room. Everything here screamed expensive.

"You were right." I smiled at Sofiya. "This palace is beautiful.”

"I knew you would love it." She grinned.

"You are very lucky to grow up here." I smiled at Vladimir.

"Thank you, Avalyn.” He smiled but he still had a far away look in his eye.

"What happened?" Sofiya asked him, catching his hand in her own.

"Nothing." He told her and then looked at us. "This the royal family quarters. The safest place in thepalace. It is impenetrable. You don't need to be concerned about your safety once you are here." Heinformed. "You should take the king's room." He told Nikolai who nodded. "It's the door straightdown the corridor.”

"And you?" I asked him.

"I'll stay in my old room." He said.

Of course. That was a stupid question

"The coronation ceremony is in two hours. Meet us here in the living room." He told us beforeleaving with Sofiya.

We both made our way to the room Vladimir directed us to.

Nik opened the double doors for us and we walked in.

This room was easily more than five times our room back in the pack. It was a mix of classic royaland modern interior. It had its own dining area, coffee table and seats, a television area and a fireplace. I located a huge balcony and a sitting area there too.

Then I smelled humans. Frowning I turned around and gasped. Along the wall besides the doorkneeled eight slaves. On the doors left kneels four female and four male were on its right. Each ofthem wore collars and had gold chains attached to them. The chains ended in a leather loop to holdand they were placed on hooks on the walls on shoulder level.?

I jumped when I felt a hand on my shoulder.

It's just Nikolai.

I tried to calm my wildly beating heart.

"It's okay." He kissed my forehead. "It's a custom all vampires are following since the dawn of time.”"It's wrong." A tear trailed down my cheek.

Eight lives. For what? For doing things I can easily do on my own.

"Avalyn.” Master said quietly. "I told you to not react to them. To ignore them.”

My eyes lowered at the thought of not doing was told. "But—"

"There are somethings you will not understand. But people believe in this since thousands of years.Let it go, alright?" He put a lock of my hair behind my ear.

I sought warmth in his arms and hugged him. His arms came around me and rubbed my back. "Weneed to start getting ready or else we will get late." He murmured.

I nodded and let him go.

He extended his hand in the direction of the slaves. All of them stood up from their position, tookoff their leash from their hooks and one by one placed them in the palm of Nik's hand who heldthem in his fist. They kneeled again.

He took my hand in his free hand and led me to a door, all the slaves following us. It turned out tobe the bathroom for a lack of better word. It was just as big as the bedroom and had two sinks, onelarge shower area and two swimming pools. One was filled with milk with rose petals floating ontop and the other one was normal water with epsom salt in it. There were seats and couches to sittoo.

"Stand up. Take off your leash and place it by the door.” Nik ordered. The slaves stood up and thentook their leashes off and placed them by the door in a pile.

"Undress us.” He ordered and my eyes widened.

Two males began undressing Nik who couldn't care less. He was confident proud of his body asopposed to me who was feeling very shy about anyone else seeing me naked so closely andintimately.

But Nik's gaze captured me, rooting me to my place as two females undid my dress and slid it downmy body. Then my bra and panties were next. Fire spread in his gaze as he looked at me beingundress. His nostrils flared as he smelled my arousal.

"You like being pampered.” He whispered in amazement as he grasped my hand and took me to themilk pool. It had steps inside so we went in easily. The milk was warm and felt nice against my skin.Blush rose on my skin.

We stood facing each other in the milk but there was a distance between us I didn't like. I wanted toclose the distance but I didn't, waiting for Nik to make a move.

He nodded to the slaves behind me and then I heard them enter. My eyes widened.

What were they doing now?

The females came besides me. One held a basket that floated on the milk and had many things in it.Two stood on my sides and one behind me.

The males did the same with Nik

The one behind me opened my hair that was braided and wet it with milk.

Nik's eyes dilated seeing that. He was turned on. I felt like he will pounce on me any second. It's justa question of when.

The scent of rose wafted in the air as the female holding the basket passed the bottle of rose oil tothe ones on my sides. The one behind me was massaging my hair and the ones on the sides startedmassaging my body with it. I bit my lip in embarrassment when they massaged my breasts.

Nik smirked at that.

The males were doing the same to him but I held all his attention. He was amused by what he wasseeing. The females touching me, massaging me. Pampering me. It was turning him on.

They thoroughly massaged my breasts, shoulders, back, legs and finally one's fingers touched mycore. I gasped.

Nik's smirk grew. He knew exactly what was happening.

I bit my lip as she massaged me thoroughly. A small moan left my mouth.

It wasn't her touch that was creating a turmoil inside me though, it was Nik's heated gaze. Normally,I couldn't get off without receiving a couple of spanks or some rough caresses, but right now, only alook from Nik lit me up on fire. The female's ministrations only added to it.

I saw his smirk slip when the male touched him. I smirked them. I could feel him being pumpedthrough the bond. But his eyes only held heat for me.

Next, they used the Chamomile oil. And then the sandalwood oil.

I was close to cuming now. Nik's gaze set my core of fire and the constant touching and fingeringwasn't helping either.

"You will not come." Nik spoke.

"Please." I moaned as she fingered my lips thoroughly with lavender oil now.

"No." He denied.

I shuddered in a breath. I will come if she touches me anymore. I pushed her hand away. I can't takeanymore without cuming.

The slaves stepped aside after that.

Nik grasped my hand and then took me to the pool willed with water next which was right besidesthis one.

The slaves entered with another basket this time.

The one standing behind me started washing my hair but the ones on my sides lathered my bodywith a mixture. It smelled of lemon and yogurt?

"What is that?" I asked.

"It is a mixture of yogurt, lemon, honey and avocado oil, Queen Avalyn.” One said softly. "It is agood scrub for your skin.”

Nik smiled at me. I smiled back.

I was actually having fun. I liked it.

They massaged it in before they rubbed it off with water thoroughly.

They stepped back once again after they were done.

Nik led me out once again but and took me to the shower area.

The slaves came in and turned on the shower. Water sprayed from all directions, making me giggleand Nik smiled at me giggling.

That's it. I can't take it anymore. I walked up to him and put my hand behind his neck, pulling himdown as I raised on my toes to kiss him. "I love you."

"I love you too." He rasped and then placed his hands on my thighs, lifting me up. My legs hookedaround his waist and arms came around his neck as we kissed.

He pushed me roughly against the wall and kissed me harder.

I reached between us, easily replaceing his shaft. I needed a release. Desperately.

He paused my hand.

"Please." I begged.

"Why did you ask me to come before?" He rasped.

Why? What does that mean?

"I was about to come?" I wasn't sure what he was asking and my mind was too clouded with lustright now.

He slapped my ass hard. I gasped at the stinging sensation. It hurt.

His hands came to massage my moulds. It was a combination of soft and gentle and rough andhard. "The only one who is allowed to make you cum is me,?Moya Lyubov." He whispered harshly inmy ear.

Oh.

That's what he meant.

"I'm sorry." His shaft entered me before the words were out of my mouth.

"It's funny you even thought I'd give anyone else the pleasure to make you come.” He bit myearlobe as he pumped into me.

I came in seconds. I was already dripping wet and on the verge of cuming.

I think the same was for him because he came right after me too.

Holding me like that, he stood for some time before he calmed down and put me down again.

My cheeks burned when I remembered where we are and we did it in front of all these people.

Nik chuckled. "You are blushing because of them, especially after they bathed you?"

My cheeks grew warmer and I slapped his stomach but I was only met with rock hard abs. "Don'tlaugh at me." I mumbled.

"I'm sorry." He was still laughing.

I huffed and motioned the girls to finish whatever they were doing.

They washed my hair, soaped my body and rinsed it thoroughly. At the end, one stood in front ofme and gently applied soap on my face before rubbing it off.

They stepped aside again. Nik then walked with me and sat me down on a cushioned bench.

Then the slaves patted us dry before they started applying moisturiser on our bodies.

"Have you been here before?" I asked him, breaking the peaceful silence. He has to have been here."A couple of times. My mother was friends with Queen Kira—Vladimir's mother. But I only knewabout them when we came in Rogue Pack. Adrik kept mom isolated. We met at least once a year.Either mom and I would come here or else Kira and Vladimir would come to the pack." He said.

So that is how Sofiya met Vladimir easily. She must have known each other since they were children."How old is Vladimir?" I frowned. Vampires don't grow old after a certain age. For all I knew, hecould be centuries old.

"Eighty seven.” He replied.

My eyes bulged.?Eighty seven?

Nik's laugh paused my train of thoughts. "I just wanted to see your expression. He is thirty two.""Ha ha. You're very funny Nik." I pouted. I was enjoying this laid back and joke-y Nik to be honest."Thanks." He winked.

Just like that, the slaves were done.

"Take out all the clothes appropriate for the coronation.” I ordered all of them.

They quickly left the bathroom.

Nik had an amused smile on his face as I straddled him. I hadn't felt this relaxed in my entire life. Orpampered or so much at peace. All the worries have left my mind somehow. My body feels like jelloand I absolutely love it.

His arms came around my waist like bands.

I lowered my face and peppered kissed all over his face.

"Maybe I should have someone do this to you everyday if it gets me so much love.” He murmured,closing his eyes as he relished in my touch. A soft smile grazed his lips which made me love himeven more.

I didn't think it was even possible to love someone this much. My love for him grows every day. Itslike if I love him any more than this, my heart would burst out of my chest. And thats what I thoughtyesterday too.

His eyes fluttered open. "Kisses!" He demanded.

I giggled and continued peppering more kisses around his face. I finally finished with his lips.

"We will be?really?late if we don't leave now." I whispered.

He let out an unimpressed noise from the back of his throat but picked me up and carried me backto the bedroom.
