The Lycan King’s Breeder

Chapter 46: Avalyn’s POV

“… And then the guy missed his steps and rolled off the stairs like a fucking ball!” Emily said and Dawn and I burst into laughter.

“Don’t fucking laugh yet!” She warned as her dark eyes twinkled with mischief. “Everyone of them was screaming at the top of their fucking voices like he was dead or something and guess what?”

“What?” I asked as I cleaned the corners of my eye with the napkin.

“The fool pretended to fucking pass out because he didn’t have the balls to fight me!” She finished and all three of us burst into laughter.

Emily and Dawn had taken me to the balcony at the reception area of the castle and they made the maids pack so much food around us, one would think we were having a party.

I picked up the plate of melted chocolate and mixed it with broccoli.

“Eww!” Emily and Dawn screamed at the same time.

I packed a spoonful of my food and shoved it down my mouth. It tasted so good I wondered why they were staring at me like that. “What?” I shrugged. “You should try it. It’s really good.”

“Is this what pregnancy does to everyone or this is just a human thing?” Dawn asked and I smiled at them.

I didn’t have the answer to her question and I certainly didn’t plan on thinking about it.

“Your sister-in-law should have a perfect fucking answer…” Emily asked with a scowl on her face. “How does it even fucking digest?” She made a gagging face as she watched me.

I threw my head back and laughed. Emily never said one sentence without cussing. I have listened to her for so long that it became normal to hear her cuss so much.

“Wait, what are you wearing tomorrow night?” Dawn asked, changing the subject.

Emily slapped a hand to her face and my eyes moved between the both of them.

“I fucking forgot about that. Can’t Cassie just cancel it out?” She whined rolling a berry in between her fingers.

“You are the princess Emily. You returned to the kingdom after so many months. It is appropriate…” Dawn explained.

I placed my food on the table and wiped my mouth with the back of my hand. “What’s happening tomorrow night?” I asked them.

“A fucking ball that’s supposed to hold in my honor!” She hissed, throwing the berry in her mouth.

I pursed my lips and stared at her. “Isn’t that supposed to be a good thing?”

I mean, every human girl wanted to be a princess so that she could wear ballroom dresses and a crown.

I picked up my plate and resumed eating. “Don’t werewolf girls fantasize about being princesses?” I asked them.

“We do. We all do except for Emily,” Dawn replied with a glare thrown at her friend.

Emily pulled her hair back and turned her head to me. “Dawn, you are here making a fucking big fuss about me. Have you gotten a dress for Ava?”

My spoon filled with broccoli and chocolate hung in the air as she mentioned the word dress. The last time I dressed up and went to one of their castle functions, it went really well.

I wouldn’t want a repeat of it.

“Umm… Emily, I don’t- I am not attending,” I stuttered.

Emily narrowed her eyes at me and then turned to Dawn. “What’s fucking going on?”

“Don’t look at me like we have a little conspiracy going on,” Dawn shrugged.

“Oh, it is a fucking conspiracy alright!” Then she turned to me, “Ava, you look like you had a fucking nightmare at the ball! What is it?”

“The last banquet we had didn’t go so well. That’s why she is having cold feet,” Dawn explained to me.

Emily waved her hand as if a fly was disturbing her. “Let me fucking guess,” she said tapping a finger on her lips. “The witch fucking ruined it didn’t she?”

By which, even I knew she was referring to Willow. For some reason, she seemed to have a personal vendetta against the queen.

Dawn sent her a hot glare but she ignored it and waited for an answer.

“It was Monty and not the Queen.” Dawn hissed.

Emily scowled as she took another berry. “Who the fuck is Monkey?”

“It’s Monty, Emily,” I corrected with a smile on my lips.

“Whatever shit his name is, I don’t care. It is my party and if I am going to attend then I need my friends there. I want you both in your fucking bests!” She dropped the plate of berries on the table and got up.

Dawn followed her movements with her eyes. “Where are you going?”

“I need to fucking pee. You want to come?”

“No, thank you,” Dawn retorted and I laughed at their exchanges.

Ever since Emily came, I have been laughing nonstop. She had such a vibe that I forgot all about my problems and looked forward to each day like a child waiting for a holiday.

“She can be such a handful!” Dawn breathed relaxing into the seat.

“I can see that but I like her… She is really umm… cool,” I said and Dawn made a face.

“Are you liking her better than me now?”

“No, Dawn, I-”

“And who gave you permission to leave your room?” The Queen’s voice broke through our conversation.

She was standing right in front of us with eyes so bright, she could turn someone to ice if she stared harder.

Her handmaidens were behind her while the guards stood at a good distance.

I looked at Dawn for help and she nodded. She got up and bowed. I hurriedly did the same before she reprimanded me.

“My Queen, please forgive us. Next time we will get your permission before stepping out,” Dawn replied.

“I didn’t ask you the question, I asked her,” she said.

Her voice was calm but it was the peace before a tsunami. The entire area became cold.

So cold that I had goosebumps and my teeth were starting to clatter.

“Umm… I was… I-”

“I want meaningful words and not stutters. This isn’t one of your escapades with the guards, speak up, human!”

My heart split into two and I dared look up at her. What guards was she talking about? And escapades?

How?

“Umm… I-”

“What the fuck is going on here?” Emily yelled as she returned from the bathroom interrupting my excuse for a reply.

Willow’s perfect features slightly twisted as she turned to stare at the approaching princess.

“Ava, sit the hell down. You are fucking pregnant and shouldn’t be standing to bow to anyone!” Emily ordered and I looked between her and the Queen.

I didn’t want any problem with the queen and besides, standing wasn’t such a difficult task, I could do it.

“I said sit the hell down, Ava!” She yelled through gritted teeth.

Her dark eyes were starting to give off specs of red like she was burning from the inside and between the queen’s ice and Emily’s fire, I chose Emily’s.

I dropped my eyes to the ground immediately. I refused to look at the Queen’s reaction to my choice but I could feel the pricking cold from her eyes as she glared at me.

“This is disrespectful Emily and you know it. Do not push me to the wall!” The queen warned and Emily let out a deep chuckle from her throat.

“I can literally fucking shove you to the wall right now. Ava here is carrying the heir to the throne. Something you will never understand because yours never stayed this long anyway,” she hissed as she walked past her.

“Imagine her shitty audacity?” She asked and I hoped she was referring to Dawn because as long as the queen was here, I dated not speak.

Dawn was also silent and Emily hissed.

“And why the fuck are you still standing?”

From the corner of my eyes, I saw Dawn slowly sit down.

“You will regret this Emily. I promise you,” the queen said in that voice of hers that sent chills down my spine. “And you, Avalyn, you will bear the consequences of this insult!”

I waited till her dress moved farther and farther away from us before I let out the breath I was holding.

Emile glared at me and then scoffed as if my actions shocked her.

“Ava, you are as good as the queen as she fucking is. You can’t let her scare you. She can’t do shit. She is nothing but a cheap witch and very soon, I am going to expose her deeds to my brother.”

“You above been saying that since we were kids, Emily.” Dawn rolled her eyes. “I think you should find a way to apologize to her, she was really offended.”

Emily threw her head back and started laughing. “What makes you think I will fucking do that? Emily… Apologize to Willow. Have I fucking grown a second head?!”

“Emily, she will tell Talon and we both know what he will do…” Dawn said in a more serious tone but Emily was still nonchalant.

Emily adjusted her seat so that she was sitting very close to the edge. “I let him fucking send me to that human school because I was starting to lose my fucking patience around Willow and I needed to fucking think. If he dares say it now, I will refuse it and there is nothing he can fucking do about it!”

“Ava is pregnant. The damned culture requires me to protect her. He can’t take away my fucking right! As long as Ava is here. I have every fucking right to be here!” Emily hissed, picking up the bowl of berries again.

Dawn shook her head and settled in hers as well. “You are going to put Avalyn in trouble…” She mumbled under her breath.

“Oh please, if you are fucking scared your brother is going to spank you, just fucking say it!” Emily retorted.

Dawn threw the berry she was about to eat at Emily. She caught it and ate it.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Fucking delicious, send another!” Emily replied, smacking her lips.

Dawn smiled and before I knew it, they were both laughing like they were not just about to fight. Somehow their interaction took my mind off what had just happened but somehow, I knew that it was going to come back to bite us in the ass.
