The Lycan King

Chapter 26. Parent Meeting

Avalyn

"We can always test that theory." Rhazien continued. I furrowed my eyebrows. How can that be done if

did not use my powers? Not that I know how to use them.

"Only if she agrees." Nikolai squeezed my hand.

"Agree to what?" I asked. It seemed like everyone knew what he was talking about.

"Lisa." Rhazien said and she immediately stood up and kneeled in front of me, tilting her neck to the

side.

Then it clicked.

I looked at him with wide eyes. "No! I will not do it." They knew that if I had some of her blood and liked

it, some part of me was a Vampire and we could progress with that. To be honest, I was scared. I didn't

want to hurt the girl, and more than that, I didn't want to be a vampire. How many people would I have

to drink from?

"This is the fastest and easiest way, Love. But it will be your choice. The other option will be for you to

explore your power and use a lot of it. But since we have no knowledge or extent of your power, it can

be dangerous." He looked at me with weary eyes.

I knew he would never put me on danger, but him giving me a choice was what meant to me the most.

I looked at Lisa was still in the same position. "Lisa." I called and her eyes snapped to mine. "Are you

okay with me drinking your blood? Tell me the truth." I told her firmly.

"Yes, Luna." I somehow knew she was speaking the truth.

I tentatively grasped her chin and leaned forward, moving closer to the juncture of her neck and

shoulder. I took a deep breath. She smelled like honey. My wolf was anxious but we slowly extended

our canines and made a small cut so that the blood would ooze out. I didn't want to hurt the human.

When we licked the little blood, my nose curled up in disgust.

"A little more Avalyn." I heard Rhazien say. I did as he and continued but I felt nothing but disgust. I

licked her wound, knowing it will help soothe the pain and heal quicker before I leaned back. I wiped

my mouth with the back of hand.

"You did good, Ava." Nikolai said as he rubbed my back.

"Not a vampire than." Rhazien murmured thoughtfully.

Lisa dutifully walked back to him and kneeled by his side again. She did not in the least seem in pain or

uncomfortable by the entire ordeal. That made me wonder what she had gone through for this to be so

normal for her.

"A faerie?" Vladimir whispered in the quite room.

Nikolai stood, furiously glowering at his brother. "Do not, for a second think that I will let go of your

implication just because I consider you my brother."

I flinched back at his tone. I hadn't expected this reaction. Why was it so wrong for me to be even a

part faerie?

Vladimir looked like he had expected this outburst.

"Nikolai, you need to take everything into consideration. We cannot leave possibilities out only because

we do not want them to be true." Dimitri told softly.

"Would me being a faerie be so bad?" I asked in a small voice.

"No." He said quickly as he spun around to look me in the eye. "It's just?? even implying that you are

one, will put you in mortal danger." Nikolai said evasively.

"There was a prophesy about six hundred years ago which implied faeries will help rule the world. All

the power hungry werewolves and vampires captured faeries, forcing them to turn them into the king or

a queen." Rhazien said softly. "Most of them escaped to a different dimension we know nothing about,

but still, many were slaughtered, the ones who survived are either underground or under protection of

vampire kingdom or a werewolf pack. It is...dangerous to be a fae."

My eyes widened. Most of the fae meant most of the race, there would hardly be a handful of faeries

alive here, living in fear of their impending death.

"Would people be so cruel as to kill another just for power?" I whispered.

"I'm afraid yes, Luna. We live in a cruel world." Andrei replied softly. I looked at him with sadness. It

seemed like he had seen a fair share of it, just like me.

"There is no real way to test that theory right now. Her magic will be the most powerful if she uses

spells. Which we do not have any knowledge of." Rhazien said.

"We need to find a fae." Nikolai spoke with determination. "If anyone, I mean anyone speaks a word

about all of this to anyone, I will kill you." Nikolai growled lowly.

"Yes, Alpha." Dimitri, Vladimir, Sofiya, Andrei and Mikhail spoke in unison.

"I must take my leave now, Nikolai." Rhazien approached us and we both stood up.

"You are welcome to stay for a few days if you wish." He replied as his eyes flickered to Vladimir.

"I have some pressing matters to attend to. I'm afraid I can't stay for long." He said and gave a firm

handshake to him. Then he stood in front of me and and looked at me with those intense eyes again.

"You have great potential, Luna. Use it wisely. I am sorry if my behaviour did bode well with you. I am

sure your mate will talk to you about that. Regardless, it was a pleasure meeting you." He said before

bowing down and kissing the back of my hand again.

"It was nice meeting you too." I replied and he stood straight again. Giving both of us a nod, he turned

around and walked out with Vlad and Sofiya at his side. Lisa was walking a step behind all of them,

following her Master.

I shook my head and turned to look at Nikolai. We had so much to talk about. I was scared and

confused and I felt different in some way.

"We have one last meeting for the day,?Moya Lyubov." Nikolai said as his hand captured mine. I

groaned.

"What is it about?" I asked. His head came down to kiss me square on the lips.

"Meeting the parents." He mumbled between kissed and I backed up quickly.

Of course! How could I forget? I knew if I let Nikolai any closer right now, we would not leave for a long

time. "We need to leave right away." I said and pulled him out. He was looking at me with lust filled

eyes and I looked down to see a tent in his pants. When did this happen?

"Dimitri, please look after the estate while we are away. We will return after dinner, please do not wait

for us. We are not expecting anyone, but if anyone arrives, schedule a meeting after tomorrow

afternoon." I told him. Nikolai's heated gaze did not move from mine, instead the fire seemed to have

intensified.

"Yes, Luna." Dimitri replied.

"Thank you." I said gratefully and tugged Nikolai into the garage. I insisted to take the SUV, I loved the

big car and I for what I had mind, it was needed. The rest of the cars were either two seater or loaded

with weapons to fight. There was no need for that today.

When we reached the car, Nikolai pushed me against it and slammed his lips against mine. I kissed

him back just as hard. His erection ground into my hips and his one hand grasped my hair and the

other one my ass. I grasped his hair, making them turn blond and tugged. He groaned in my mouth and

trailed fiery kisses along my jaw and neck. "You looked so fucking hot in there taking control." He

growled. "I thought I loved you before, but now, love doesn't even begin to cover my feelings for you."

He said as he sucked my mark and I moaned wantonly. "Fuck, I love your responsiveness."

Heat pooled in my belly as his hands went down my pants. "I so badly want you to come over my

fingers Love. But I don't think its the best idea to have your smell all over me right now." He murmured.

I nodded and pulled back. "When we come back?"

"I'll hold on to that promise." He said and adjusted himself.

In a second, we both were in the car and on the road.

"What if the kids do not like either of them?" I asked nervously. I had tried my best to pick the most

suitable parents for them but something inside me said that it wasn't enough.

"They will like them." He replied. He looked confident but I somehow knew he was worried about it as

well.

"I hope so. I don't want to keep them with someone they don't like." I told him the truth.

During the after- party, I had met the kids and talked to them. They didn't talk much and were shy at

first but they opened up a little. I was happy for that. They deserved happiness.

"Which is why they have a choice. You did a great job at selecting the couples,?Moya Lyubov. Don't

worry." He said soothingly as he pulled in the driveway of the pack house. I don't think I would get used

to its glory.?

We both walked inside hand in hand as several pack members bowed to us and I smiled at the familiar

faces. I had mingled with a lot of them during the party. When we entered the living room, we saw

Adrian and Vanessa sitting on a couch close together as they softly murmured to each other. Adrian

had worn a white shirt and dress pants which made him look very cute and Vanessa had worn a pink

dress. She looked like a little princess. It was clear that they both wanted to impress their to-be- Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

parents. The other voices in the room quietened down when we entered which caused the kids' grey

eyes to snap at us. Both of them slid off the couch in unison and held each other's hands as we walked

to us.

I smiled at them and hugged both of them. "How are you both today?" I asked softly as I tapped

Vanessa's nose.

A blush rose on her cheeks before she replied softly. "We awe good. How awe you?" She asked back,

not exactly looking at Nikolai. I assumed she wasn't comfortable with male company just yet. I let it go,

she would come out of her shell soon enough.

My smiled widened at her impeccable manners.?

"We both are good as well. Are you ready to go?" Nikolai replied this time as he extended his large

hand towards the little girl. She took a step back instinctively and Adrian took his hand instead of his

little sister. He looked up at my mate defiantly and nodded. "Ready." He said as he tugged Nikolai out

with one hand and held Vanessa's in his another.

I chuckled silently at his actions and picked up Vanessa's empty hands as all four of us filled out. Both

the children got in the back of the car safely before we were on our way to couple number one.

I turned around in my seat to look at the kids. "I have shortlisted two couples and both can choose

whom you are most comfortable with. Your choice matters." I told them softly. "The first couple is Tessa

and Mark. Mark is a doctor in a nearby human town where he goes three times a week and the rest of

the days he is at the pack hospital. Tessa is a housewife." I informed them.

They looked at each other bringing their gaze to me. "Thank you, Luna."

"Anytime, kids." I smiled at them. We had reached the couple's house. I was a medium size house with

a small backyard.

"Ready?" They nodded with determination and Nikolai knocked at the door. It was open in an instant,

Mark and Tessa standing on either side of it, looking quite eager and happy to have us.

"Good evening Alpha, Luna." Both of them bowed down. Tessa bent down and looked at the kids with a

wide smile and extended her arms to hug Tessa. But she flinched and shuffled back. "Don't touch her."

Adrian said angrily. Tessa's eyes widened but she nodded quickly. She opened the door wider and

ushered us in.

We spoke amicably but I was clear that the kids did not want to be here. Also, Mark and Tessa looked

weary of the kids. This was clearly not the choice. Not wanting to waste more time, Nikolai and I stood

up.

"Thank you for your time, but I think the reason and answer is quite clear." Nikolai spoke lowly. Both of

them nodded, sadness etched on their faces. It was clear as the day that they wanted kids. "The kids

are...special." I said and grasped Tessa's and Mark's hands. "We are sorry. I wish for you to have a

child of your own, you both deserve it and you would be great parents." I whispered to them. Both their

eyes widened before they nodded at me.

"Thank you Luna. Alpha." They said gratefully and bowed again. We nodded and left with the kids. We

got in the car again to go to the second couple's house.
