Chapter 114 Soare Luna
Avalyn
When my eyes opened, I realised that it was the middle of the night and I was lying on the bed, on my back.
I looked at Nikolai.
Like everything he did, Nik slept with concentration too. His eyebrows weren't frowning but they were not relaxed either. His lips were closed, his jaw set. He didn't snore, nor did he move too much in his sleep like I did. His hand was still cupping my boob—he sleeps like this and doesn't let go all night. He's like a baby that way, can't sleep without a 'soft toy'. I almost giggled at my own joke. Almost, thankfully. I didn't want to wake him up, he hardly got any sleep as it is. And it was very rare for me to catch him asleep—he slept after me and woke up before me.
I was feeling a little hot so I decided to step out in the cool air for some time. I tried to get out of Nik's hold but at the slightest movement, he frowned, his hold on me getting tighter. I bit my lip as heat shot straight down to my core.
Not now, Avalyn.
I tickled his nose a little and he released his hold on me, brushing his nose in his sleep. I took that as an opportunity and slipped out of bed. I picked up the shirt Nik had tossed on the floor before sleeping and wore it, doing a couple of buttons.
I walked past the seating area, opened the ceiling to floor sliding windows and entered the vast balcony. I stood at the edge and rested my hands on the edge of the balcony.
The moon looked beautiful. It's light fell upon the town, casting a silver glow on the houses that were far away and below us. Yellow lamp hung outside their houses, encasing the town in a warm glow of its own. Straight ahead was the view of mountain ranges and their snow covered peaks. It always seemed to spark a question in my mind— why does our mountain, being the highest one of the entire dimension not have snow? The others did. And whenever we went to the peak of another mountain for runs or something, the snow seemed to disappear. I mean I was thankful to be honest, too much snow and too much cold could get annoying. And we had the perfect weather.
But it was annoying not knowing the answers.
It was too dark to see clearly but in the far distance, I could see the reflection of the moon in the ocean. And I knew that our house was there somewhere. Silverwitch Bay was home. But Soare-Luna was where we belong. This is our new home.
A cool wind blew and goosebumps rose on my skin but I didn't really feel cold. It was pleasant. I took a deep breath of the fresh air and remembered just how much I loved the mountains.
I started feeling hot all of a sudden, from inside out. Almost like... like I had a fever. Which wasn't possible. Supernaturals don't get sick. And then slowly, an uneasy feeling grew in my stomach. I felt like I was at a war with myself. About what? I didn't know.
Suddenly, arms came around my waist and my heart stopped before I realised how familiar they were. Nik kissed the top of my head. "You weren't in bed with me." His tone was accusing and his voice was gruff with sleep.
A shiver passed through me at how hot it sounded. Heat shot straight to my core. I wanted him.
"Can't sleep." I mumbled and turned around in his arms and slipped mine around his waist and rested my head on his chest, listening to his steady and strong heartbeat.
"You smell divine, Moya Lyubov," his chest rumbled as he dug his nose in my neck.
The uneasy feeling grew and I tried to seek the comfort Nik's hugs usually provided. It felt good but the peace I usually felt wasn't there. From the inside, I felt... unsettled, rattled. His touch felt better than it ever did but from the inside, I felt uneasy. Like a storm was brewing. I wasn't at peace.
"Hug me properly." I demanded and his arms coiled tighter around my frame and he placed a kiss on top of my head, taking a deep breath, like he was breathing more of my scent.
Yes, it felt good, but it lacked something.
I let out a low whine of complaint. He hugged me tighter and caressed my back. His touch sent tingles unlike anything I had ever felt down my spine and I could feel myself growing wet. But I felt extremely emotional. He wasn't giving me the innate peace he usually did.
Nik took another deep sniff, his hard on pressing against me now, demanding attention.
Grunting, I pushed him back, not wanting to hug him anymore. "You just don't love me anymore." Tears sprung in my eyes. I was feeling a whirlwind of emotions within me. I was feeling uneasy, horny and unstable. It was the worst combination ever.
"What?" His eyebrows shot up.
"Yes. You aren't hugging me properly." Hot tears rolled down my cheeks and I walked away from him, wiping my eyes.
The reason I wasn't at peace in his arms was because it wasn't warm enough and wasn't heartfelt enough. Yes. My wolf was absent and he probably doesn't feel the mate bond as much. Therefore, feelings for me has decreased. That can be the only possible reason.
"Ava." He called. "I love you. You can't seriously believe otherwise." He caught my arm and spun me around so that I faced him.
"Feel this," he ground his erection against me, "this is what just your scent does to me." He placed an open mouthed kiss on my mark and I moaned, feeling like I could cum if he kissed me there one more time. "Now feel this," his lips lowered on mine and he gave me a ferocious kiss, full of hunger, possession and love. Both his hands held my head in the proper angle. Warmth spread through my belly, slowly taking over the uneasy and unsettled feeling.
After he was done kissing my lips thoroughly, he peppered kisses all over my face, mumbling I-love -you's in between.
"Believe me now?" He rasped, his lips a millimetre away from mine and his eyes were amused.
I scowled and slapped his hand away. "I'm not joking!"
"What do you want me to do to prove to you that I love you?" He asked.
"I don't know, Nikolai." I turned away from him and crossed my arms.
Suddenly a small ball of fire appeared in front of me. It was so tiny that it looked like a firefly.
And then one more. And some more. And more.
They small balls of fire surrounded me and they moved in together as if they were dancing.
My lips parted at how beautiful it was.
I've never seen anything like it.
I twirled around myself and saw that they were all around me.
I extended a finger and a small ball of fire came and sat on the tip.
A smile erupted on my face.
And then all the balls rose in the air. I raised my head to look at them.
They all moved in synchronisation and words formed.
'I love you'
I gasped.
Arms wrapped around my waist and Nik pulled me against his chest possessively. "I love you so much that no words can express how I truly feel. But I hope that I haven't been failing in showing it to you through my actions. And this is a very, very small demonstration of just that." He murmured and his lips brushed against the shell of my ear as he said that and his hard on was pressing against my stomach.
My words failed me.
There was nothing I could say that would truly express how I feel, truly express just how much I needed him. So I decided to show him instead.
I turned around and looped my arms around his neck before I pulled him down into a searing kiss.
The uneasy feeling suddenly vanished, replaced my an unquenchable thirst for him. I have never wanted him more than I want him now. My love. My soul. My saviour.
"I fucking love you, Avalyn." He palmed my ass, moulding it and I gasped. His tongue entered my mouth and duelled with with mine.
Warmth pooled in my belly.
I used my powers and his shirt that I had worn disappeared. Nikolai was naked already.
Grinning in the kiss, Nik picked me up and my legs automatically wrapped around his waist. He placed me on the flat top of the balcony wall and slammed inside me.
"Nikolai!" I moaned loudly, jerking when he buried himself deep within me.
I knew he was going to take his time to worship my body but I need a release and I needed it right now. We could do slow after a good, hard fuck. "Hard and fast." I demanded, digging my nails in his back.
"As my Queen wishes." He obliged.
"Fuck." I swore as he began moving inside me hard and fast, his hands gripped my waist tightly and helping me move with him.
My fingers raked down his chest, relishing the feel of his soft skin and hard muscles. It was a tantalising combination. "Fucking hell. You're my Goddess. My naked Goddess."
"And you're my God, Nik," I cried out fervently as he pounded into me without mercy. I knew how he felt. I could feel our souls combining through our bond. Sex has never felt this good. It was a mixture of love making and wild sex.
His hair had turned golden even though I wasn't touching it. They were all mused up because I had ran my hands through them while I was kissing him. They looked like sun was shining and his hair were glowing in it's light. A lock fell over his thunderstorm grey eyes that were hazy with love and need.
Moonlight reflected on his skin, giving him an ethereal glow. He looked like a god. My god. All mine. Only mine.
My heart thudded in my chest at the whirlwind of emotions I was feeling for him.
Tears erupted in my eyes. I felt like I was seeing him for the first time and the last time. My heart was bursting with love for him.
My hands slipped past his waist and I pulled him closer, making him thrust into me harder than before.
It felt like it had been too long since we had sex. It felt so good.
He felt so good.
"Nik." I moaned and my nails clawed at his back, scaring and marking him mine.
A moan slipped his mouth that made me even more wet, if that was even possible.
I was close. So close. "Please..." I whimpered. "Can I..." Nik's hand moved and his fingers pressed against my clit, rubbing and pinching. I cried out in pleasure.
"Wait for me, Love," His other hand reached to mould my breast before he rolled my nipple between his thumb and forefinger. My moans got breathier.
"Fuck." I moaned when I felt I felt his canines nick my skin.
My heart thudded in my chest at the whirlwind of emotions I was feeling for him.
"Come with me." He pumped harder and pinched and then he shot his load inside of me and I let go with a cry, my eyesight blurring. The world faded yet all I could see was my soulmate.
Tears erupted in my eyes. I felt like I was seeing him for the first time and the last time. My heart was bursting with love for him and this orgasm felt like it was never going to end.
"Soare," a cry escaped my lips as the pleasure of the highest order embodied me. "Tempus adest."
"Etiam, meum Luna." His hand cupped my cheek and a peace one could only feel after going to heaven embodied me. "Mox, nobis erit redeant in coniunctionem." (Soon, we will be reunited) His voice hit my ears but I couldn't comprehend what he was saying. It was almost like he was far away from me.
"Et nobis familia erit toitus rursus." Words I didn't know the meaning of escaped my lips.
"Usque ad illud tempus. Te amo, meum Luna," he pulled me in a passionate kiss. But my body didn't feel like mine. The kiss didn't feel like Nikolai's.
"Te amo, me Sol." I whispered, a tear rolling down my cheek.
Slowly and then all at once, the haze of the orgasm cleared and I looked at Nikolai. He too blinked, coming back to reality.
"I think I saw stars. That's how good the orgasm felt." I whispered in awe. No orgasm has lasted this long. No orgasm of mine has ever felt this good, this... soul-touchingly peaceful.
A frown developed on his forehead, "were you saying anything during it?"
I felt like a piece was missing. Like I was forgetting something. But the memory felt too far away to remember. I was too deep in the endless sea of orgasm and peace that I couldn't remember anything else. "No." I replied, feeling drained out and tired all of a sudden.
"Your temperature is high, Moya Lyubov. Are you still not feeling well?" He asked, deep worry etched on his face.
"I'm fine. A little dizzy, I think." I clutched my forehead. My stomach churned and I was nauseas all of a sudden.
Nikolai
"I —"she gagged and covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes bulging.
She's going to puke.
I picked her up ran to our bathroom, on the way there, I slammed a fist against the bell that was connected to the servant quarters, my legs not faltering for a second. The moment I entered the bathroom, she gagged again and then vomit erupted out of her mouth before she could control herself.
She tried to get away from me, almost falling in the process but I held her tight and gently placed her down in front of the toilet. Her knees hit the ground and she clutched the toilet seat before she puked more.
I too, kneeled by her side and held her thick, long hair back. I patted and rubbing her back in hopes of making her feel better.
Tears were streaming down her face as she puked her guts out.
I've never heard about an adult supernatural who has puked in his entire lifetime.
She finally settled down after she puked all the contents of her stomach out. I flushed the toilet.
I released her hair and cupped her face, gently wiping the tears dry with the pads of my thumb.
Her eyes fell on my chest—more specifically on the puke that decorated it.
"I'm sor—"
"Don't." I cut her off softly. "You're sick, you don't need to apologise for it." And then I asked her. "Are you feeling better now?"
She nodded before whispering. "I need to wash up." She brought her hands up, they had puke on them too.
"Here, Mistress." Tessa, who had come some time during Ava was puking. Still sleepy and in her nightgown, Tessa was kneeling on her other side. She wiped Ava's mouth with a wet wash cloth and then her hands.
She gave me a fresh wash cloth too and I wiped the puke off my chest before tossing it away.
Eliyah brought in a glass of water that Ava gladly necked.
But then her eyes widened and she turned to the toilet and puked. Again.
But this time, it had blood. My eyes bulged.
Worry slithered in my heart. What the fuck is happening to her?
There was blood in her puke after she drank the water Eliyah had brought.
What did he mix in it?
My eyes snapped to his in anger.
He looked terrified at the sight of blood too. And then his eyes slid to me and he grew more terrified at the sight of my angry face.
Good.
I motioned Tessa to hold Ava's hair. She quickly did as told and took my place. I took up and grabbed Eliyah by his throat and dragged him out.
I growled lowly, not wanting Ava to worry. For some reason, she liked him. So I should try to keep him alive. I tossed him on the floor. "What did you do to her?" I snarled.
He was holding his throat, breathing hard. "N-nothing."
"What did you put in he water?" I hissed.
"N-nothing." He croaked. It was the truth, but I didn't believe my senses right now.
"Tell me the fucking truth! Or else I'll kill you right here, right now!" I hissed before I stalked inside the bathroom and picked up the glass of water Ava had drank from. It was still half full.
I brought it under my nose and took a whiff.
Nothing.
I took a sip.
It tasted normal.
My eyes snapped at Eliyah who slumped against the wall, clutching his throat. "Stop lazing around and stand up straight." I snapped. "We have a criminal to find."
Eliyah jumped to his feet. "I didn't do anything, K-King Nikolai." He said, his voice horse. And sadly, it was the fucking truth. Who the fuck did it then?
"N-Nik." Ava whispered so lightly that I barely heard it.
I motioned Eliyah to stay here with my fingers. I'm not going to let him out of my sight and then rushed to Ava's side. "Yes, Love?"
"I-I don't feel well. Please stay with me." Her head rested on my chest and her arms came around my waist.
"I'm right here, Love. Do you want to take a shower first?" She will feel better if she is fresh.
"I can't stand up." She whispered.
"No worries." I whispered. I picked her up and took her to the shower area and turned on the water at a comfortable temperature. I sat her down on the bench and took a washcloth, wet it with water, poured some body wash over it and began cleaning her up. Tessa helped too.
After we were done, I helped her up against my body with one hand and stood with her under the water. I caressed her body clean of the soap with my free hand and Tessa helped with the areas I couldn't reach.
"I need to brush too." She whispered after we were done.
"Okay." I replied before I sat her on the bench and turned off the water. I took a towel and dried her up before I took another towel and quickly dried myself and then wrapped it around my waist for Tessa's sake.
I was about to pick her up again but she shook her head. "I can do it." And then she stood up but stumbled a bit. I immediately caught her.
"I can do it, Nik." She mumbled stubbornly.
"I know, I just want to help you. Please." I kissed her forehead. I placed my arm around her waist and supported her up as she slowly walked to the sink.
Tessa had her toothbrush out with the paste already on it and handed it to her.
Ava took it and brushed her teeth, swaying a bit. But I stood behind her and kept a firm hold on her. She wanted to do it on her own, fine. But we will do it my way. And Ava thankfully didn't argue.
After she was done, she was seriously swaying a lot so I scooped her up, ignoring her weak protests. Her was getting cold as opposed to her heated temperature earlier. I placed her on the bed and took the nightgown Tessa handed me and put it through her head and arms. It reached the middle of her thighs. I took the panties but Ava shook her head and lied down, her eyes closing.
I wore a fresh set of clothes quickly before focusing on Eliyah who was still standing by the bathroom.
"Nik..." Ava mumbled, her hands searching for me on the bed.
I got in the blanket besides her but instead of lying down, I sat up straight on the bed against the headboard. Ava's arm and leg came around my legs, her cheek pressed against my thigh on the bed. I placed my hand over her head and caressed her hair.
A sigh of relief left Ava's lips and I heard her heartbeat steadily.
After I was sure she was asleep, I looked at Eliyah and pointed at the floor by my side.
Clenching his jaw, he came so my bedside and kneeled. I had heard of his defiance but saw none of it right now.
"Where did you get the water from?" I whispered, not wanting Ava to wake up.
"The cooler, King Nikolai," he replied truthfully.
I sighed. I was angry and I released my anger on him because I needed someone to blame. Eliyah was easy target. But Ava has been sick yesterday and day before yesterday too. Evening must have been just a good patch or something. And she puked before she even had the water. Plus, I had the water, it was alright. I know it wasn't the water.
"I might have taken my anger out on you without thinking clearly." I cleared my throat. That was all the apology he will get.
He looked up at me fiercely before he spoke in a fervent voice, "thank you for believing me. I would never hurt her. I would kill a thousand people and die a thousand times over than hurt her."
I believed him. I know he was saying the truth. His loyalty was surprising. I shouldn't be though. Ava has a way with people.
"You can leave now. Both of you." I told the humans.
"Respectfully, Alpha, I would like to stay here till Mistress is okay." Eliyah replied and Tessa nodded in agreement.
"Fine. You can take a seat." I waved my hand towards the seating area on the side and the the chairs on the small table—wherever they wanted, I didn't really care.
With a bow, both of them went and took a seat.
