The Lycan King

Chapter 13. Messy Desserts

Nikolai

"Hello, Love." I smiled at her as I entered the kitchen.

"Hello Nikolai, here is your breakfast." Ava smiled at me as she put a plate of omelette on the counter

for me.

"I want you to do something, Ava." I told her when she turned her back on me to cook for the others.

Sofiya gave me a look but I ignored her.

"What do you want me to do?" She said as she turned off the stove and turned around to look at me.

"I want you to start handling the kitchen." I told her seriously.

"I don't think I can do it." She replied looking at me with scared eyes.

"You love cooking, you know everything about it. You don't have to cook for everyone everyday, the

maids will do that for you. You just have to manage everything." I told her seriously. She could learn to

control things like this and it would be a great start.

"I'm not the right person. Sofiya handles everything and she is good at it." She whispered pleadingly.

"You can do it better, you have Alpha blood in your veins and you are my mate, you're a Luna,

remember that Love. You've got this. You know more about the kitchen than Sofiya anyways." I smiled

as Sofiya glared at me.

"I'll teach you how to do it, it's very simple, I'm sure will do a much better job than me." Sofiya told her

encouragingly.

"Okay." She whispered, I could see the doubt in her eyes.

"I want you to start now itself and I want to eat something you made for dinner." I smiled at her. Like

this, she would be more involved in interacting, directing and working with the staff. And soon, with the

pack too.

"Okay," she nodded.

"I'll see you at dinner." I told Ava and nodded at Sofiya, she knew what I was doing and she nodded

back.

Avalyn

I quickly made breakfast for everyone and told the maids to serve them in the dining room. Everyone

sat in the dining room while Sofiya, Nikolai and sometimes Andrei had breakfast in the kitchen to keep

me company. I loved cooking and I preferred to make at least one meal a day for everyone.

"Can you please tell me what to do now?" I asked Sofiya who was working on her laptop when I was

done with the cooking.

"Yes, I'll tell you what to do, but you have to decide how you want to do it." She told me, shutting the lid

of her laptop.

"What if I mess it up?" I asked quietly.

"We will just have to order food from a restaurant that day. It's no big deal." She grinned at me.

"I trust your judgement. The only thing you have to do is make sure the pantry is stocked up, there are

enough ingredients for making what you want in the fridge, it tastes good and the food is cooked a bit in

advance so you can serve it on time. The kitchen should always be cleaned after everything is done.

This is Alpha's private house so very few people live here, you don't need to make a lot, you will do

great." she told me.

I took a deep breath. If Master thinks I can do it, then I can do it. I nodded at her.

"So you can start now, I have to run a couple of errands and do some paperwork. Ask Andrei or call me

if you need anything." She told me.

"Okay, thank you." I smiled.

After she left, I checked the fridge and the pantry, we were running low on a lot of things.

I made a list of what to cook for an entire week and then the ingredients needed and in what quantity

they are needed.

"Hey, is there something you need?" Andrei asked me as I went to him in the living room. I knew he

was working on the laptop, I didn't want to disturb him.

"I need to go out and buy a few groceries, we can go when you are free." I said eyeing his laptop.

"You don't have to go, you know that right? You can give the list to the maids and they will get it for you.

But if you want to go, we can leave right now." He told me.

"No, I want to go." I told him. I wanted to go out, it had been very long since I had been out in the real

world.

"Okay, I just informed Nikolai. We are good to go." He told and stood up. We went towards the

basement and I saw a lot of cars which shocked me. There were so many!

"Which one do you want to go in?" He asked as we walked towards the key board. I pointed towards a

big car so everything could fit. He nodded and we went towards it. He opened the back door for me and

I shook my head. I knew that he knew that being around males made me very uncomfortable.

"I'll sit in the passenger seat." He may be my bodyguard but he was also a friend, I didn't want to make

him sit ahead alone like a driver.

He smiled at me and opened the passenger seat and I got in. He took me to a huge building that

looked a lot like the mall. I realised I had never been to a supermarket and I didn't know anything-

where to go, how to buy, how to pay...

"I- I have never been to a supermarket." I whispered to Andrei.

"I'll help you, don't worry." He smiled kindly at me and I sighed in relief.

He took a trolley from near the entrance and looked at the list.

"I'll take the cart and you can start putting the things we need in it." He said, handing me the list.

"Okay." I told him and got to work.

After about two hours, we were done and we had four carts full of food with us. We went to the cashier

and he gave the shocked lady money through a card which I learned was a credit card and then we

returned home.

"Thank you, Andrei." I told him when we reached home.

"No problem. Don't bother with the bags now, I'll have someone drop them in the kitchen." he said as

we walked upstairs.

I had so much fun today. For most people, buying groceries was a chore, a boring task but I loved

going out and seeing everything. I learned so much today, saw new things, I met a cute little boy who

was hiding and eating chocolate in an isle and I offered to buy him more. I also saw many interesting

people.

I also realised that I loved kids and I wanted one too someday. I wanted one with Master but he was

not even coming near me anymore, he didn't touch me or even look at me. He was scared that he

would hurt me, I had seen the way his eyes filled with regret whenever he came close to me. I miss

him, he was so closed to me, yet I missed him.

I went upstairs and spent time with Sofiya before I decided to get started with dinner.

The maids who made food everyday were Sasha, Irina and Violet. Nikolai wanted me to make food so I

decided to make traditional Russian food which was Sche which was a soup, Pat?? which was made of

meat, Beef Stroganoff and Ptichye Moloko cake.

I saw the recipes in the cook book and told all three of them what to do before I started cooking too. I

was finally getting the hang of having other people help me, me telling them what to do but I always felt

bad about ordering anyone. I was used to being told what to do and I preferred it that way, I liked

making other people happy.

We were almost done with everything, only the cake was left. I took the sponge cake out of the oven

and removed it out of the cake pan and began cutting it from between. There had to be a layer of

mousse and chocolate and then it had to be cooled down. After it was cut, I started adding the layers of

mousse and chocolate until I was satisfied with the outcome.

When I was finally done with the cake, I placed it in the fridge.

"Thank you all for helping." I told Sasha, Irina and Violet.

"Welcome." Sasha smiled at me and Irina nodded smiling. I had a feeling that Violet didn't like me a lot,

I didn't know why. I wanted her to like me! I left the kitchen and saw Sofiya watching the television and I

sat besides her.

"Are you done?" She asked me.

"Yes. I have made Russian food and the Ptichye Moloko cake too. I know you all will love it!" I told her. I

was so excited to see them enjoy their dinner.

"Nikolai is going to be very happy. It's his favourite cake." She grinned at me.

I knew Master loved chocolate, but this was an added bonus, maybe he would reward me like the last

time I made dinner and call me a 'good girl'. I wanted to be his good girl. I don't think saying that I'm a

'good girl' would be wrong in a normal relationship. I just hoped Master saw that I didn't like it, I loved

calling him Master, making him happy and doing things to please him, kneeling at his feet and kissing

his feet while I thanked him. I love having baths with him, I love him but he was going away from me.

Maybe he didn't like me anymore... Was he bored of me already? No, it can't be true. He may not love

me but I knew he liked me and cared for me.

"I hope all of you like it. I have never made Russian food or the cake before." I told her. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

"You have magic in your hands Avalyn, everything you make tastes delicious." She grinned.

"You are just saying that because you're my friend." I mumbled.

"No, your food is orgasm-worthy. I swear it can even compete with Vlad." She laughed.

"Sofiya!" I giggled hiding my face in my hands.

This girl had no filter and always made me blush, but not more than Master. I missed him talking about

things that always left me blushing!

"Don't tell him I said that." She said with wide eyes and hid her smile with her hand.

"Your secret is safe with me." I said chuckling.

We saw some TV before I got up.

"I need to get the dinner ready, don't tell the men what I made, I want it to be a surprise." I smiled at

Sofiya.

"Your secret is safe with me." She winked.

I went to the kitchen and told Sasha and Irina to start putting everything in the serving plates, Violet

was doing the dishes when I came in so I left her to it. I went to the refrigerator and carefully removed

the cake as I held it from the dish I had put it on. When I was about to place it on the counter,

something caught my leg and I tripped. I fell down and the entire cake spattered on the floor and the

dish broke too.

Oh no!

Tears formed in my eyes.

"What have you done?" I heard Violet screech from behind me. She had every right to yell, she had

made the batter and baked it, I spoilt all the hard work! I messed everything up!

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'll clean it." I cried and got a washcloth and went down on my knees, and started

scrubbing the floor.

How could I make such a mistake? I knew I shouldn't have done anything! I kept rubbing the floor. I

thought about how angry Master would be when he sees that I spoilt the entire cake! It was his

favourite cake. And we didn't even have another dessert. We had worked so hard to cook the full meal

but I just had to fall and destroy everything!

"You come here bossing us and then you spoil everything." She sneered.

"I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry." I sobbed more as I scrubbed the floor with a greater intensity.

"You think sleeping with the Alpha will make you a Luna? You are a human like the rest of us! Stop

being such a slut." She snarled.

That's what I am good for. I deserve a punishment. I want- no I need a punishment. But Master didn't

even want to touch me anymore. That made me sob even more. Maybe he didn't like me anymore. I

could feel the glass shards piercing my skin but I ignored it, I had to clean it at the least. I had one job!

Now I won't even be able to serve the full dinner and I was late.

"Avalyn get up, you are hurt, it's okay you don't need to do this." I heard Andrei plead.

"No, I have to clean it up, I fucked it up. It's my fault. I'm so sorry." I cried, still wiping the floor.

It was not helping, the whole cream was making the floor sticky. I got up and took another cloth and

started rubbing the floor again. Master wanted me to cook dinner, he would be so upset that I couldn't

do a simple thing! My tears were making my vision blurry but I didn't let that stop me. Crying was

useless and a waste of time.
