The Lycan King

Avalyn

"I wish I could do something to help him." I whispered.

We were sitting in the infirmary by Mikhail's side. His entire neck and shoulder has turned black and is decaying. He smelt of death already and he hadn't opened his eyes since yesterday night. His heart was beating normally but Grace said that he would suffer for a couple of more weeks before he would die.

"Let's see what we find in Mozog." Nikolai murmured.

We can't let him die. Mikhail was our brother.

I vow to find something to help him. He was out there because of me. He is hurt because of me.

"Let's go." Nik held my hand and stood up. Following his lead, I stood up too and left with a last glance at Mikhail.

Nikolai was hurt. I could feel it through the bond. But he was staying strong for all of us. Didn't he know he didn't have to pretend in front of me?

"Are your bags packed?" He asked me.

"Yes. April helped me." I murmured.

"Good." He said as he took both our bags and carried them out to the car.

Today was the day we were going to Mozog with Sofiya and Vladimir. Andrei was staying back to look after the pack and Mikhail.

Rhazien, along with his mate and the other vampires had left the day before for preparations. Preparations for what? I don't know.

After a two hour drive, we reached the airport and boarded a private flight. During the flight, Nik and Vladimir worked while Sofiya and I spent our last hours together.

I was going to miss her dearly. She was my first friend and I don't think I can ever get used to her not being at home with me.

We talked about any and everything before Nik called us back and told us to take our seats because we were about to land.

Mozog as a total of six hours away from our pack, including road and air travel. It was going to be difficult to visit often but I'm sure we will manage it.

The first thing I noticed when we reached that the Kingdom of Mozog was perched up on a mountain. And on the very top of it was a castle.

It looked very small from were we were standing right now but I was sure it's going to humongous.

It was out-of-the-world beautiful. A lush layer of green coated the mountain and I could see the roofs of the houses in between. I now understand why Vladimir missed his home so much.

"It's so beautiful." I said as I looked out of the window from the car. We were climbing the mountain and Vladimir told us that we would reach in an half an hour.

"You should see the palace. You will love it." Sofiya was amused at my amazement.

"Can't wait." I smiled.

I hadn't been in the mountains since I was in Montana Pack. But then again, I didn't really leave the house so much.

The world was too beautiful to stay in one place. I wanted to see so many places and visit a lot of countries with Nik.

The density of houses increased and I knew we were in the main city. As we passed houses, their sizes kept increasing, indicating the growing wealth of people as we reached nearer to the palace.

A blank mask was in the place of Nik and Vladimir's faces. I wondered what they were thinking about. Nik's link was closed and I had no idea what he was feeling.

Slowly, we entered the gates of the palace. It was made out of white marble and real gold. Guards were stationed at specific points, bowing as our car passed from near them.

Another gate appeared and the driver stopped the car in front of it.

Two men stepped forward and opened doors from both the sides. Nik and I slid out from one door and Vladimir and Sofiya from the other.

"Do not react to the slaves. You will ignore them."?Nik mind-linked me.

Slaves?

What was he talking about?

All I could see was happy and welcoming people standing, waiting for us to come in.

When we stepped in through the gate I saw more people. The path for us was clear to the doors of the palace by the guards who held the people back.

Nik extended his arm and I took it.

He led us through down the carpet as the people bowed down in front of us. Vladimir and Sofiya walked just behind us.

We climbed up the marble steps of the castle and entered through the gold doors.

My pace slowed as I took in the interior.

The word 'beautiful' wasn't enough to capture the essence of this palace. Tall marble pillars intricately carved with gold supported the palace.
