The Lycan King’s Breeder

Chapter 30: Avalyn’s POV

“Avalyn!” Dawn’s screeching voice pulled me out of sleep and I frowned as my eyelids struggled to open my eyes.

“Go away…” I mumbled pulling the covers over my head.

“Like I listen to that! Get up!” She yelled and I could hear the laughter in her voice but I wasn’t just in the mood.

Ever since we had that conversation concerning the baby, I have been unable to take it out of my head. Each time I felt a movement, I was overwhelmed with the thought that the child was trying to kill me.

Werewolves could be human, I told myself over and over, yet I got reminded of their ability to turn as well. Sara already told me that werewolves weren’t born in their wolf form but I found that hard to believe.

I kept having dreams and thoughts that it would transform and have a go at me with its sharp claws.

To make it all worse, Talon was no ordinary Wolf. He was a Lycan. It meant he was stronger than the average wolf. His offspring would be equally strong and unpredictable.

I felt Dawn’s hand on my legs and I cracked one eye open to find her grinning as she made to pull me out of the bed.

“Avalyn! You need to get up!” She yelled as she dragged me to the edge of the bed.

“I would have dropped you if you weren’t carrying the heir to this kingdom! Consider yourself lucky! Now get up and get dressed,” she ordered with a spark of mischief in her eyes.

“Dawn…” I groaned as I sat up. “I am not in the mood for your kitchen escapades. Let me just go back to sleep…” I said, falling back into the bed.

“Avalyn!” she cried out and I pulled the pillows on my face -the number of times she called my name in a day could fill up a dictionary by now.

“We are not going for a kitchen escapade!” She said with even more glint of adventure in her eyes. “This is different… Besides, Cassie always has more than enough food in the kitchen… Common!” She urged, wiggling my hands.

“Alright, just stop screaming for a second…” I mumbled as I got off the bed finally. I walked to the bathroom and washed my face.

I made sure to avoid the mirror for as long as I could.

“Hurry up!” Dawn yelled from outside.

I snatched the towel from the door and wiped my face. Then wobbled out feeling like an elephant.

“Okay, so who is this Cassie?” I asked as I pulled off my nightwear and searched through my wardrobe for a better change of clothes.

“Oh, she is my sister-in-law.”

I turned back to look at her with raised brows. She never told me that Greg had a wife. “Greg’s wife?” Or did she have another brother?

She rolled her eyes and dropped onto the bed. “Like I have another brother…” She hissed.

“Well, do you?”

She groaned, slapping a hand to her face before replying. “Of course, Greg has a wife and she is the one we are going to be meeting today!”

“Oh,” I mumbled as I turned back around to complete the task I had to find an outfit.

“Cassie is the coolest person ever! We are going to have so much fun with her!” She exclaimed and I couldn’t help but smile at her enthusiasm.

Ever since we got permitted to do whatever we wanted and go wherever we wanted within the castle and kingdom, Dawn’s excitement had known no break.

I finished dressing up and turned to her. “I am ready.”

“Okay, let’s go!” She jumped out of the bed and held my hand, pulling me out of the door.

We walked out of the main castle and went towards the clinic. As we passed the clinic, I felt my heart run cold.

The guards were not as much on this side of the massive estate. Only a few passed us every now and then.

“Are we even allowed to be here?” I whispered to Dawn as we got to a set of duplexes just behind the clinic.

“With you by my side, we are allowed to be anywhere!” She said, spreading her hands around her.

A frown covered my face. I didn’t feel like proceeding anymore. “Dawn… I-”

Before I could complete the statement, she burst into laughter. “Avalyn! Don’t be such a spoiled sport. I live here! Greg lives here! If there is anywhere you should be going, then it’s here! The guard’s quarters.” She exclaimed.

I turned to glare at the entrance and turned to her. From the distance, I could see some maids carrying boxes and heading in our direction.

Dawn came closer to me and held my hand. She wasn’t smiling anymore but she wasn’t angry either. She was just more alert than she had been and wondered why she would be like that in front of mere maids…

“Greetings Dawn,” They chorused as they reached us.

One had pale blue eyes and the other hazelnut. They smiled kindly at me and I returned the gesture.

“Hi!” Dawn said observing them so close I felt goosebumps on my arms. I poked her hand but it seemed like her body had gone cold and no amount of pinching had an effect on her.

“What’s with the boxes?” She asked them in a firm voice.

“They are for the queen. I’m afraid we are not allowed to say what they are for… We need to head to the queen now…” They said and left all at once.

Dawn stared at them and shook her head. I wanted to ask her about it but I thought against it. Anything that had to do with the queen, for me, always came with a lot of reservations.

The last thing I needed was to anger her at this point in time. Ever since I was told I was pregnant, she didn’t come -not like I wanted her to come to check on me. It just felt like a ticking time bomb when it came to her.

As we turned to leave, I fell a few steps behind Dawn who was now too eager to get to her sister-in-law’s place.

My eyes caught a red pack on the ground. I bent forward and picked it up. It was a sort of medication.

The pregnant woman on it made me guess that it was for pregnant women. So I clutched it. I would ask Sara about it.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

But then again, this dropped from those maids… What if the queen was pregnant?

“You have suddenly gone quiet again…” Dawn breathed as we got in front of one of the mansions next to the VIP section. She knocked and we stepped back to permit whoever was on the other raise to pull the door.

A woman with a bright smile pulled the door open. Her hair was coffee brown and her eyes the same shade.

“Hello, Dawn?” She said, spreading her arms. Dawn closed up the distance between them and hugged her.

“Cassie. How are you?” Dawn cooed.

“And this must be the beautiful Avalyn,” She said, turning to look at me with those bright eyes of hers. “Greg failed to give you a proper description. You are truly beautiful…”

I felt heat flush my cheeks. I looked down at my hands not knowing the response I could give her.

“Come come… We wouldn’t want you catching a cold,” She said as she came towards me and led me deeper into the house.

“Make yourself comfortable and Dawn,” she said, turning to her. “There is more than enough chocolate pudding in the kitchen, knock yourself out.”

“Oh, you sure know how to win my heart!” Dawn squeaked running in the direction of a door by our left.

Cassie let out a small laugh as she settled into a couch opposite mine.

“Dawn can be such a handful at times,” She said with a smile on her face but the smile soon vanished as my eyes focused on something in my hands.

Color seemed to drain from her face as I opened my hand as well. What was it?

“Where did you get that Avalyn?” She asked, narrowing her eyes at the red pack in my hands.

I looked at it and then at her. Her expression was every shade of shock. What could this be other than medication for pregnant women? Didn’t she know that I was pregnant?

She got up from her seat and came to sit with me.

“Where did you get this from? Who gave it to you? Avalyn… Don’t you want this baby?” She asked in a low voice.

My eyes enlarged at once and I shook my head. “I want the baby. I want it!”

“Then what are you doing with a termination pill?” She asked and my eyes dropped to the red pack in my hands at once.
