The Lycan King’s Breeder

Chapter 15: Avalyn’s POV

“Is this my room?” I asked as Dawn pulled the door open. It had to be the most beautiful room I have ever seen in my life and to put the icing on the cake it was mine!

“Yup! All yours…” She beamed and my smile grew larger but she suddenly frowned. “Except that…”

My heart skipped a painful beat as I stared at her waiting for the answer. Couldn’t I have the room to myself? I could share if they wanted me to but I hoped my roommate wasn’t like their Queen.

“Except that what?” I whispered, holding tight to my tear gland.

“Except that, I will be coming here all the time, so we could as well say it’s mine!” Dawn exclaimed with laughter.

My heart let out a deep hiss and I smiled at her. “Oh, Dawn, you scared me…”

She threw her head back and laughed even louder. “Did I?” She asked and I nodded as my cheeks heated up in embarrassment. “Well, it only means that you need to loosen up! You are not forty-seven, are you?”

She pointed a finger at me like one of those detectives of the past and I let a small giggle escape my lips as I said, “no. I am not forty-seven.”

Dawn threw her head back in laughter and I joined her, though I didn’t laugh as freely as she did, I did feel happy despite the looming cloud of doom over my head.

“I brought a lot of clothes for you, come help me fold them into your wardrobe!” Before I could respond, she got up and dragged me along with her.

“Umm… Okay…” I said, giggling.

Dawn brought down the bag that was in the trolley and started sorting through the clothes.

“So, I didn’t know if you preferred shorts to skirts, I just bought a lot of both,” she said as she started folding the shorts.

She wasn’t joking when she said she bought an entire bag. The shorts came in so many fancy materials and colors, I lost count of them. I thought it would be cool to know the number of dresses I had but the shorts and little skirts were so much, I could never count them, especially with the fast pace Dawn was going with.

“Is there a particular thing you like that I didn’t buy?” Dawn paused with the tank top in her hands and watched me.

All my life I have had just two dresses. One for working with and the other for special occasions. I didn’t even know what the pieces were called.

“I am fine and I have – umm… Nothing else to add…” I said, tucking my hair behind my ear shyly.

Dawn shrugged and continued working on the tops. She would pass them to me and I would place them neatly into the wardrobe.

Next, she searched through the bottom of the bag and raised a small silky red dress.

“What’s this?” I asked with furrowed brows. Surely they didn’t expect me to wear this. It was so small, more than half of my breasts would be out if I wore it, and not just that, my thighs would barely be covered.

“This is for the King. On your first night with him, you will wear this….” She said, wiggling her brows.

I knew she was trying to imply something but as hard as I tried to decode her actions, I just couldn’t.

“It’s about four sizes too small, Dawn I can’t wear that in front of the King. He’ll think I am a whore!” I exclaimed, covering my mouth.

I have been battling on how to gain favor from the king. Wearing this would pull me down ten points… I couldn’t wear it.

Dawn slapped a hand to her face and looked at me with seriousness dripping out of her.

“Men love seeing women dressed like this. It turns them on …” She said with a wink.

“But do I have to turn him on? Ummm… I mean, is it a good thing?” I had practically turned into a tomato as I blurted the question. I didn’t even know what I was saying but at least I wanted to understand what a little dress had to do with the King.

Dawn dropped the dress and placed her hand on her waist. “Girl, if you don’t turn him on how is he going to do it?”

She blinked at me and I waited for her to continue but she didn’t. How was I supposed to know what he was going to do and how he was going to do it?Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Do what?” I whispered.

“Ooh, dear!” Dawn exclaimed, slapping a hand over her face. “I really wish Emily was here!” She groaned.

My heart sank as I felt I failed at being a good friend. I didn’t know anything at all.

I dropped my head low and pulled at my fingers. “I am sorry Dawn… I really do not know anything…”

She heaved out a sigh and reached a hand to my cheek. “It’s fine. You don’t have to know everything. Let me tell you a secret…” She pulled my hands once again and led me to the huge circular bed that sat at the center of the room.

The bed was so big, ten people could comfortably sleep in it without complaint.

“Avalyn, I am also not experienced in these things but Emily is… That’s why I wished that she was here. She will not only teach you but me too,” Dawn said.

“Who is Emily, your friend?”

“Yes. She is my best friend but also King Talon’s sister.” There was a huge smile on her face as she spoke of this friend of hers.

I couldn’t help but be a little jealous. I wish there was someone who missed me this much back in town… But that was just wishful thinking. No one could possibly miss me.

“Where is she? Why don’t we go to her…” I suggested.

But her smile dropped and she shook her head. “Oh no, she isn’t here. She went to boarding school.”

The school was still in session, but the holidays were fast approaching. “Don’t worry Dawn, I am sure it won’t be long before she comes home for the holidays,” I said, trying to cheer her up.

“No, Avalyn,” she shook her head and I furrowed my brows in worry. “She can’t come home either. She is trying to hurt her brother by staying away… It’s a complicated story but yeah she won’t come home. At least not now.”

I saw the sadness in her eyes and I felt horrible for bringing up the topic in the first place.

“I am sorry Dawn… I didn’t know….” I said but she grabbed my hand and flashed me a toothy grin.

“Hey, don’t be sorry. When you get pregnant, she will have no choice but to come home. You see, it is a tradition that the princess protects her nephew till they are born and grown… She has to show up…”

I was happy that I could somehow bring a smile to Dawn’s face even if the process meant that I was going to die afterward.

She lay on the bed and her eyes turned to the bedside table where a small pink clock sat. It was almost eight in the evening.

“Oh shit!” She cussed, jumping to her feet. “I am late for practice! Greg is going to kill me!”

I smiled as I watched her scurry to the door. I wished I could have an elder brother who would scold me for being late.

“Hey, don’t forget to sleep well. I’ll be back in the morning! Goodnight!” She yelled before disappearing behind the door.

I giggled at her words and slowly curled on the bed. Dawn was a really nice girl. I was lucky to have her. Just one day that we spent together, I couldn’t help but feel more love than I have ever felt in my life.

I didn’t even miss Sara who had become like a mother figure just in a couple of hours.

Maybe staying here with the werewolves wasn’t going to be too bad. As long as I stayed away from their Queen.

I wasn’t pregnant yet, so if I calculated correctly, I still had about ten months to survive.

“I will make the most of it,” I whispered, rubbing a hand over my stomach.

I pulled the blanket over my shoulders and tried to close my eyes. It was strange having to sleep on such a soft and large bed. All my life I slept on the floor with nothing protecting me from the cold except a torn and patched blanket that was only enough to cover one-half of my body.

Maybe I would enjoy everything for as long as I could. If I saw this as a penance then I would live miserably but if I thought of it as a sacrifice to the world, I would enjoy myself.

A smile curled up on my lips as my body slowly started giving in to sleep.

Suddenly, I felt the air shift. I felt eyes on my body. The same feeling I felt that day in our town when those red eyes pierced my very soul.

I flipped to the window and my heart almost exploded.

“Ahh!” I screamed pushing away from the window.

Those same red eyes were standing there, watching me. He wasn’t inside the room with me, he was right outside.

My heart was ramming into my chest and I thought I would pass out at any minute. But the more I looked at him, a sense of calmness swept over me.

He wasn’t here to harm me. He was just -watching.

I couldn’t tell much of what he looked like because his body was covered in darkness. Only his shining red eyes stood out.

But from what I could see he looked taller than Mr. Greg.

We both stood there just staring at one another. He didn’t say a word and I wondered if I should talk to him. Was that even allowed?

Dawn didn’t mention anything about talking to other people…

“Hey!” I whispered, raising my hand.

He moved his red eyes over my hand and then let out a soft growl before vanishing into the darkness.
