The Lycan King (Book 1)
Chapter 75. It's time

Avalyn

The next few days flew by in a blur. All we did was train and planned minute details. We made it apoint to practice with the vampires so that we fought like a team.

Nik had been more stressed than I had ever seen him. In fact I hardly saw him after our little date.He was the busiest of all. He was training with everyone and making sure that they were trainingtheir hardest. He also took turns in explaining the plan to everyone in groups in detail to make surethere were no doubts or confusion. He also looked over the makings of the weapons that we weregoing to use. We had ordered guns but wooden bullets had to be handmade with the correctsymbol carved on it. Only then it would kill a supernatural.

I took care of the lodgings of the people who weren't going to fight??there were about fifty ofthem. Keeping them all in a single place was also risky which was why I had them scatteredstrategically so no one knew where they were but at least one group of our pack was near them todefend or rescue them if needed.

Max had given us a final count. About two fifty wolves were going to come to attack us. And we justhad one fifty to fight for us. Nikolai had assured me that we were at an advantage because we knowthey are coming. And we needed to lessen the strength of the warriors in Montana Pack if wewanted a standing chance against them when we went there after the war. He had told me that weneed to create a balance in the amount of people we would fight on our lands and their lands. Onlythen, we would win.

It was nine o'clock sharp when Nik came in the room to meet me, just like I had asked him to.

He closed the door behind him and froze when he saw me. "We don't have time for this right now,Ava." He gulped and looked down at my outfit?? more like lack of it.

"We do. Everything is done. It's all perfect. Come here, Nik. I've missed you." He would come tosleep after I've already fallen asleep and woke up before I did. The only sign of him coming to bedwould be the slight warmth in the bed he would leave behind.

"I've missed you too." He instantly said.

"Then come show me."

"You're scared.” He figured it out instantly. "You're scared that you will loose me. You are scared thatwe will loose."

I stayed silent because that was the truth. I'm scared. And I want one last night if anything happens.I will commit this night into my memory forever. If anything happens, I'll always have this. I'll exactlyremember our last kiss, our last fuck. I needed to feel the heat of his palm when he spanked my assI needed to feel the warmth of his cum in my pussy.

Angry lines marred his face. "I'm working my fucking ass off, Avalyn. Now is not the time to tell meyou don't believe in this plan. In me.” The vein popped up on his forehead, the one that always didwhen he was trying to control his anger. 1 did believe in him. He had busted his ass for this entireplan. But I couldn't help but think about the what ifs.

"I'm not saying we will fail or that I don't believe in the plan or you, Nikolai." I tried to calm him. "ButI just want you have one night with you before shit hits the roof.”

"You mean you want one last night." He gritted. "This is not our last night, Avalyn.” He crossed theroom and threaded his fingers through my hair and pulled so I was looking at him in the eye. "Thisis just the start. We will have many,?many?more nights after this." He growled in my face.

"I need this one too." I rubbed his length through his jeans. I needed his dick. Right now.

"You will have to wait until after the war, Love." He caught my hand, "it will give you something tolook forward to." He squeezed my ass with his other ass and gave it a hefty slap. I gasped. "Please.At least punish me. I still need those twelve spanks.” He can never control himself after a goodspanking. If I get him to spank me good enough, till I'm all red, I know he will fuck me. Hard.

His eyes bore into mine and then I guess he saw something in them which caused him to give me amind blowing kiss. I was left panting after that. He grabbed my hand and and yanked me towardsthe bed. He sat on the edge and pulled me over his lap. Another moan left my mouth when hestarted squeezing and moulding my ass.

"You will count and then apologise at the end of all the spanks. Miss one and I will start over, do youunderstand?"

"Yes, I understa??aaaand.” I screamed in between when he brought his hand down. I wasn'tprepared for it.

He gave me another hard spank, "Count Avalyn." He gritted.

"One, Master.” I gasped.

The blows rained down on my ass and I kept counting. They were harder than I had expected andsome were a quick sting while some were a deep thudding pain. And some deep, dark part of myheart craved it.

"Six, Master.” My grunts turned into a scream. It hurt. I loved it.

"You okay?" He paused.

I quickly nodded my head.

He slapped my ass harder than ever.

"Seven, Master." I cried.

He slapped my ass again after that. "That was for not using your words when I ask you a question,Avalyn. Start again.” And then he he hit me just as hard.

"One, Master.” A tear fell down my cheek. My ass burned too much and I'm sure it is all red rightnow. This was my first real punishment. Last time, I was too angry and stubborn to actually feelanything. I had mostly mentally blocked it out. But I didn't want to do it to this one. I wanted to feelMaster's touch.

"Two, Master." I shuddered.

He squeezed and moulded my ass, letting all the pain and burning and stings set in. "Rememberyour safe word?"

My throat was clogged up so I was about to nod but quickly remembered the rule. "Yes, Master. It'sOcean, Master."

"Use it if you want." He spanked me on an already sore spot and I jumped.

"Three, Master." I managed to get out. No Master, I'll take it all.

He waited, probably for the safe word but I didn't say a word. I wiped my tears with my hands andwaited for the last five spanks.

I craved his touch. His warmth. I need it before I go out there to face my nightmare. I pushed my assout further, urging him to hit me.

“Smack!

"Four, Master.” I grunted. He had hit me on my upper thighs and lower ass. It didn't hurt as muchthere.

Then he rained down continuous spank on either sides and I was left crying at the end of it. "Nine,Master.” I croaked, my mouth felt dry.

"This much is fine, Ava." He caressed my ass and the heat flared further.

"No. Three more.?Please.” I begged. More. I needed more.

He let out a low growl from the back of his throat.

I turned to look at him through my tears. His pitch black eyes met mine. He cocked his head to theside. "I said, you're done."

My eyes widened and I jumped off of him and kneeled in front of him, my hands on the floor. I bentdown and kissed his feet. "Thank you, Master." Kiss. "I'm sorry, Master." Kiss. "I will do better nexttime, Master.”

"I know what you did." He spoke softly and my eyes widened as I looked up at him. "I did it becauseI knew you needed it."?l know.?"And because it's very hard to deny something you want. And this issomething we both wanted." His finger trailed down my face delicately, making me blush. "But nexttime, you will safe word me when you've had enough. The situations we are in doesn't matter." Howeasily he saw through me. It hurt like hell but I just wanted it to go on because this might be our lasttime.

"I'm sorry." I whispered.

"Stand up, turn around.” He ordered and I jumped to my feet again and turned around.

I felt him inspecting my ass before he caressed it and I flinched. His hands were very gentle but itstill burned. "You will heal yourself before we go for war. But it will be when I tell you, okay?"

"Yes, Master.” I whispered.

He grabbed my hips and brought me closer to him before he placed a kiss on each butt. "You aretruly exquisite, my Ava.”

"Thank you, Master." I said shyly, biting my lip to force down my blush.

"You know what?" He spun me around so I was facing him, "I think we have some time in hand."?!knew it!?This is?exactly?what I was aiming for.

I looked down at his smouldering gaze. "We do?"

He nodded, gulping. "I'm good at time management.”

"How fortunate.” I smiled and caught his face in my hands and leaned down to kiss him. He pulledme on top of him and scooted back further so we were in the middle of the bed.

"Not like this, it will hurt you." He shook his head. "Get on your elbows and knees."

Biting my lip, I did as he said. He positioned himself behind me and held on to my waist beforeburying himself deep. A moan left my mouth.

He was slow and soft and gentle. Everything a woman would want. But tonight, I need him to be mysaviour again. Not the sweet gentle Nikolai. I needed a reminder of him when I was out facing mynightmare, a reminder of my strength, a reminder to do my best.

"Harder." I pleaded, matching his thrust. "Please, Master."

His hand wrapped around my hair and he pulled, making me look up as he started thrusting intome with renewed vigour.

"Nik." I cried.

"You like it rough, huh?" He grunted as pistoled in and out of me. He held on to my waist andmoved my body to match his thrust harder.

"Yes." I screamed through my pants. His palm met my ass again and I almost came right there.

"I'm close, Love." His hand reached down to pinch my clit and I cried out, trying to control myorgasm for longer.

"Wait. Stop!" I whimpered and with impeccable control, he paused mid stroke.

"I want to see you." I pulled him on the bed and sat on top of him. I took his rock hard penis andslid on top of it. Then I looked into his dark grey, almost black eyes.

"This is not the last time, Avalyn.” His hands raised to cup my breasts and his dark grey eyes wereintense.

"I know." Then I rode him, hard. And we both came within seconds. His warmth pooled in my pussyand then finally, the thirst in my belly was filled. Seeing him cum was just as mesmerised as the firsttime?? when he had fucked my mouth. He came with a low guttural cry, but this time, his eyes wereopened and were focused on me??on seeing me come undone on top of him. Our eyes stayedconnected as we both orgasmed. This can't he our last time, this just?can't.

I placed my palms on his chest and felt his thudding heart.

"Tell me everything will be alright.” I pleaded. "Tell me that we will win."

"We will win." He pushed himself up and captured me in a hug. "This is not my first time in a fightAva. My men and I have been fighting since more than a decade. We are rogues. That's what we dofor a survival. And we will do it again. For you."

“They will be here in sixty minutes.’ Dimitri mind linked us. “Emilio is with them too."?Thank goddess.We had been fearing that he would be a no show.

“Tell everyone to get ready.’ Nik ordered.

"We need to start getting ready. Heal yourself, Avalyn.” I closed my eyes and focused on healingmyself. The burn and soreness slowly decreased till it totally vanished.

Silently, we both got off the bed, cleaned up and started getting ready. I wore black tights and asports bra before I quickly braided my hair. I wore the belt which had holsters and put four guns,two on each side of my waist. I wore my sports shoes and then finally a black jacket to block out thecold wind and to hide better in the dark.

"Keep this with you.” Nik handed me the dagger that I had gotten in Mozog when I was crowned. Iput that in the belt too.

Nik was only wearing a pair of black shorts and there was a band around his ankle which held a gun."It's time.” He captured my hand in his large one before we both walked out.

As decided, we met everyone in the foyer.

The men had worn the same outfits as Nik.

"What's our men's status?" Nik asked.

"The scouts are hiding in the trees as per their positions." Mikhail replied. "Everyone has their ownguns and wooden bullets.”

"The lamps outside the houses are lit and the speakers are set in place. The traps are set. All fiftymen have taken their positions.” Andrei nodded.

"My men have taken their positions in and around the pack house.” Dimitri cracked his knuckles.?"Perfect." Nik growled and flicked his claws out and placed it in the middle on our circle.

The men flicked their claws out and placed it over his, creating a pile, before looking at me. Warmthspread in my belly. They were including me in their brotherly before-war ceremony.

I flicked my claw out and placed in on top of Mikhail's.

"Zaschitit' korolya. Zaschitit' korolevu. Sem'ya prezhde vsego."?Their chests rumbled as theygrowled loudly and we all pumped our claws in the air.?Protect the King. Protect the Queen. Familyabove all.

"It's time." Nik announced. "Go to your posts. May all our enemies die tonight.”
