The Lycan King’s Breeder

Chapter 53: Avalyn’s POV

The sound of our laughter echoed through the corridors long after we settled back in my room.

Emily was still grumpy and Dawn couldn’t stop laughing. It was like a drug for as soon as she started laughing, I took over and there was no turning back.

In the end, the three of us fell into the bed laughing so hard, we had tears in our eyes.

A knock at the door made us compose ourselves.

“Yes, who is that?” Dawn called.

“Family only, maids and guards, fuck off?” Emily added and I covered my mouth to muffle my snickering.

They were like two rebels that kept getting into mischief but were extremely beautiful.

The door cracked open and Cassie stepped in. “Who gave the order about guards and maids?” She asked.

“That was Emily!” Dawn said, pointing a finger at her.

Cassie laughed as she joined us on the large bed. “You both should have your mates by now and we should be talking about your ceremonies!”

Emily raised her brows and like someone under the influence she staggered toward Cassie and whispered. “I don’t need a mate,” She said and Dawn clapped her hands excitedly.

Cassie shook her head and before I could tell what was happening, she pulled Emily by one ear and Dawn by the other.

“You are no longer children. Go out there and find your mate!” She said with amusement in her eyes.

“You know what Dawn since she is here now, we should fucking disappear!” Emily snickered.

As I laughed, I felt a sharp pain in my lower abdomen but I ignored it, writing it off as the effect of laughing too much.

“I will marry Nathan!” Emily added and Cassie ran after her.

I laughed so hard, I had to hold my stomach when the pain returned. Dawn was the first to notice the frown on my face and she stopped playing at once.

“Avalyn, what is it?” She asked, drawing the attention of the others.

I waved my hand at her. “It’s nothing. I have just laughed so much that my stomach is starting to hurt…” I winced.

“Oh,” Cassie said and quickly returned to sit on the bed. “I knew these girls were going to stress you. Come on everybody out!” she said.

“I think we should take her to Sara,” Emily suggested with worry lacing her voice.

“No no, I am fine really. I promise, I just need a little rest,” I assured them.

Cassie held my hand and her brows furrowed. But before she could say anything, I stopped her.

“I feel great. Look,” I told them, “if I wake up and I am still feeling terrible, then we will rush down to Sara, how about that?” I suggested and they shrugged.

I was doing great. It was just a small cramp from laughing too much all morning.

Dawn and Emily stared at one another before they left me with Cassie.

“Okay, if you say so. I won’t force you up but your friends have gone to call Sara. Just relax for now till she gets back,” Cassie told me.

I plopped pillows behind me and I sat down, smiling at her. The pain was dull now but it was still there.

It almost felt like the pain women got during their menstrual cycle.

I frowned and wondered if I needed to get worried about my baby too.

“Do you know why I asked Dawn to bring you to me the last time?” Cassie suddenly asked and I raised my head in her direction.

“Ummm… No,” I replied, trying to hide my wince as another sharp pain hit my stomach.

Cassie got up and came closer to me. “She said you were scared the baby would be born a wolf with claws and sharp deadly teeth that could kill you…”

Now that she mentioned it, my heart skipped a beat. Could the baby have turned and decided to eat me?

Blood drained from my face as pain stronger than the ones hitting me before filled my stomach.

Cassie smiled and she held my hand. “I have been pregnant too. With two boys even… They won’t eat you, neither will they turn Avalyn,” She explained.

Beads of sweat were already starting to form on my forehead.

“Are you sure?” They squeaked. The pain subsided and I blamed my brain. I was overthinking so much, a mild pain almost became a nightmare.

“I am not saying it isn’t going to be painful. Childbirth hurts like hell but you will be fine. Your baby won’t crawl their way out of you, okay?” she asked, placing her hand on my cheek.

I smiled at her and nodded.

She was just like her husband Greg. Where the other was a big brother to us all, Cassie was a big sister.

“If you have any more questions, do ask me, and I’ll respond to them all,” she said.

“Thank you, Cassie. Umm… I do not have any questions,” I said.

My eyes suddenly felt heavy and I yawned. As I stretched myself, the sharp pain shot at me again.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

“Maybe you should rest, your body looks tired,” she suggested and I nodded.

I curled myself on the bed and pulled the blankets while she ran her fingers through my hair and whispered soft soothing words to me until my heavy eyes closed.

I heard faint voices in the room and I listened closely. It was Sara and the girls.

They really did go to the clinic to get her.

“She complained of abdominal pain,” Cassie explained and I felt Sara’s warm hands on me, as she observed me.

“Her body looks pale but aside from that she seems fine to me,” Sara said and I felt my heart settle.

My baby was fine and it wasn’t trying to kill me.

My body kept going in and out of consciousness. And their voices went in and out of the room till a certain silence filled everywhere.

I guessed they had left me to rest.

I turned on the bed to take a more comfortable position but the pain returned.

“Hmm,” I moaned, trying to ignore it.

But this time, it didn’t stop. It got stronger and more frequent.

My eyes flew open and I held my stomach. Something wasn’t right.

I took off the blanket and slowly made my way to the bathroom. Each step I took was a nightmare as the pain increased, shaking me to my core.

It felt like something was tearing apart within me. My legs were trembling and dizziness filled me up.

I held the walls, fighting to stay conscious.

In my mind, I figured, if I could get to the bathroom, maybe all I had to do was use the toilet and the pain would go away.

But making it to the bathroom was a job on its own.

“Dawn…” I whispered. My voice was breathless and the volume too low to pass through my door.

“Emily…” I tried again but my voice was like a combination of sounds. Nothing worked.

I gritted my teeth and summoned up the courage to keep going.

Slowly and painfully, I got to the bathroom and pushed the door. I held the counter and stared at my face in the mirror.

I really looked pale, Sara was right.

I turned on the tap and poured some water on my face, and that was when I felt it.

A low trickle of warm liquid moved down my legs. My heart shattered and I felt my blood turn cold in my chest.

A ringing developed in my head.

The warm liquid continued trickling down my legs and I refused to look down at it for the fear of what it could be.

But the pain was so much that I couldn’t just stand there.

With shaking fingers, I pulled down my leggings and brought two of my fingers to my thighs…

“Oh my God…” I whimpered as tears started streaming down my eyes.

“No, no, no….” I repeated like a mantra as I raised my fingers to see what it was.

As my eyes connected with the red stain, I let out such a loud scream the room shook as the door burst open almost instantly.

“Avalyn!” Dawn was screaming in the room while Emily burst through the bathroom door.

My body was trembling and my head suddenly felt light as I raised the bloodied fingers to her.

“Emily… This is- is nothing right?” I stuttered.

Her eyes moved to the leggings I had dropped and back to my fingers. Before she even said a word, I saw the panic in her eyes.

Dawn rushed into the bathroom as well and unlike Emily who seemed to have frozen, she rushed to me and held my fingers to her face.

“Dawn… My baby…” I blinked like a lunatic.

My body was denying the inevitable. I searched for the smallest hope to cling to for fear of exploding.

“Emily, call the guards!” Dawn yelled and my body went numb.
