Chapter 59 plan

plan

Avalyn

"This is the only time we have," I told everyone at the table.

Nik and Max just left and I told my family about my plan. Nat was still in shock. She couldn't believe that the devil had captured his soul.

Nik didn't believe in me either. It hurt but I understood. He has known Max since he was a child. And he didn't want to think that the brother he grew up looking up to was evil.

The thing is, Max isn't evil. He just has a little part of Devil inside him.

"Are you sure?" Natalia asked me.

"Yes." I nodded.

"I believe you," Dimitri spoke and then gave Mikhail a look.

"Fine. Let's do this." Mikhail stood up.

"Good. Mikhail, sit at the back windows. Dimitri readies the wolves and hides by the patio near the beach. And try not to get hurt." I bit my lip as I eyes both the men.

Max is strong. Like really strong. Maybe even stronger than Nik.

"Yes, Luna." They both nodded.

"Let's go, Nat," I said and we both walked to her bedroom.

The curtains were pushed open and the balcony windows were open. For which I was glad because it removed the decaying smell that had saturated here. The bed sheets were changed and the room smelled much better than before. I mentally noted to reward April. She is a good female.

We both sat on the bed and Nat got noticeably quieter.

"You can talk to me, you know?" I told her softly.

"I know. But it's not his fault. Deep down, I know you are right Avalyn. I saw his eyes. They turned black. And his whole demeanor changed. That wasn't my Max. I can't be upset with him for something that wasn't in his control." She sighed.

"You're right. He can't be held responsible for that. But you can be upset about it. You were hurt. You have the right to be hurt." I looked at the frail girl.

She has been through something no woman should go through. The betrayal of your mate, under whatever circumstance, is something one can never just let go of.

A tear fell down her eye and her hands cupped her lower belly. "I felt every stroke, every thrust. And it burned. It hurt so bad." She cried. "I could feel him cum."

I gathered her in my arms, tears rising in my own eyes. She doesn't deserve this. I don't know what I will do if Nik did the same thing to me. I'd die. Surely.

But Nik wouldn't ever do that. He loves me too much for that. And his soul isn't captured by the devil either...

Nat stiffened. He's here. I could feel him. He was standing on the other side of the door.

"I hate him, Avalyn. I hate him so much. He ruined me. He ruined everything we had." She sobbed, going according to the plan now.

"But he is here now. And he is your mate. Maybe with time, you can forgive him." I wiped her tears.

"I can't." She cried. "I'm sorry but I can't follow through with Nikolai's plan. I can't be with him like that anymore. I can't." Tears streamed down my cheeks at her words that were laced with pain. "He hurt me too badly. I could feel every single thrust of his inside my vagina, literally slicing me open from the inside. I can never forget it." Her voice broke. I couldn't decide if this was her acting or not. I could feel her hurt and heartbreak. It was rolling off of her in waves.

"You should talk to him," I whispered.

"I want to reject him." Her small voice came. A gasp felt my mouth and the door slammed open.

Max's eyeballs had turned red and the rest of his eyes black. The devil was out.

Now we have to push him back in.

I looked at Nat and gave her a short nod.

"Max!" She called softly.

His chest was heaving, taking quick short breaths.

"Max." She called again. "Come back to me." She whispered.

His eyes flickered before going back to his normal blue color.

"Talia." He whispered and stepped forward as if he didn't even know what just happened.

Giving her a nod, I stepped out of the room.

I caught Vanessa standing outside.

"It's past your bedtime, baby." I picked her up and walked to her room.

"I wanted to talk to Max." She pouted, crossing her chubby arms.

"Can't you talk to him tomorrow?" I asked.

"I want to talk right now!" She said stubbornly as I entered her bedroom.

Adrian was reading a book. His head snapped up at our arrival and he threw me a quick smile before he continued reading.

"Max is busy right now but he said something about being free all day tomorrow." I placed her down. "Adrian, it's her bedtime, can you please help me by putting her to bed?" I really can't afford her going near Max right now. And I need to leave quickly.

"Yes, of course." He nodded and slid off the chair and walked to us, taking hold of Nessa's hand.

"Goodnight. Don't stay up too late, Adrian." I ruffled his hair and chuckled at him trying to set it back and exited their room.

I saw Nat and Mikhail making their way down to the beach from the balcony in my bedroom. And I couldn't see Dimitri but I knew he was hiding somewhere near the patio. He would be able to reach them in half a minute if anything goes wrong.

"I've been searching for you," Nik whispered in my ear and I jumped a bit at the suddenness.

"I was with Nat and then I put Nessa to bed," I whispered and turned around to look at his smoldering grey eyes.

Now I need to keep Nik away from there and keep an eye on them so nothing went wrong. This was a good place to do that.

"And what about your little plan?" His hands came to rest on my ass before he squeezed.

I gasped, heat instantly pooling in my belly.

And how did he know?

"I know everything, Moya Lyubov." He bit down on my lower lip. "What will I ever do about your transgressions, Ava?"

I trembled at his raspy voice.

"I -I don't think I'm wrong. Trust m-me." A moan slipped my mouth as he placed open-mouth kisses along my neck.

"I do trust you. And I know you are right about the devil." He released me. "I was just too stubborn to accept it. But the transgression I'm talking about is going behind my back about this plan." Both of us know that it's dangerous. Everyone is at risk.

I bit my lip. "What are you going to do about it?"

He inhaled a harsh breath and his eyes glittered. His hand came up and his finger traced my lips. "I'm going to have these lips wrapped around my cock. And then I'm going to cum all over you. After which I'll fuck you all night. So hard that you won't be able to walk tomorrow. How does that sound?" He pushed a finger in my mouth.

I moaned at his words and sucked at his finger a bit and then gave it a teasing nip.

A growl reverberated in his chest. "I think you've become too naughty, Love."

I shook my head in denial, unable to speak because of his finger in my mouth.

He moved his hand up and down, making my head move vertically so that I was nodding. "Now this seems like the truth." He grinned and removed his finger.

"Maybe," I replied slyly. "Especially if the punishments mean getting this." I trailed a finger over his crotch. His dick jolted under my touch. I love the effect I have on him.

"I think you have been liking my punishments far too much for my liking. Do you think I need to push it up a notch?" His eyes bore into mine.

"Yes, I loved what you did in the swimming pool in Mozog." I bit my lip and looked up at him through my lashes.

"Punishments are supposed to be something you don't enjoy, Love." He caught my hand tightly, stopping my movements.

My eyes snapped at his.

"What do you mean?" I asked him.

The humor disappeared.

What is he trying to tell me?

"What do you mean?" I asked him.

He only stared at me. His eyes roamed all over my face, taking all of me in and not settling. He looked deep in thought. He looked troubled.

"What happened?" I cupped his cheek. The torment in his eyes decreased a little but it was still there. He leaned towards my touch, his eyes closing as he tried to regain control.

Control over what? I am not sure just yet.

"Is there something you need me to do?" I trailed a finger down his jaw, making him release a harsh breath.

"Nikolai?" I called softly. I wanted to know what is bothering him. Maybe it is something Max said.

"What is Vanessa doing there?" I saw Nik frowning and I turned around, following his gaze towards the gardens. It was covered by trees and plants but a little pink was visible. The girl wore pink every day and that has to be her.

"I'll go put her back to bed. Why don't you stay here, hmm?" I placed my hand on his chest and caressed our bond softly, trying to calm him. "And keep an eye on Nat and Mikhail."

He gave me a sharp nod.

Pecking his cheek, I went downstairs, and just when I was about to step into the backyard from the window, I saw Max and Vanessa walking towards me.

I forced my body to relax. Max is not bad. He won't hurt a kid.

But I looked at Vanessa, checking for any sign of distress.

"What are you doing out of bed, young lady?" I crossed my arms.

Her little eyes widened. She knew she was caught. "I wanted to give Max flowers!"

"And why are your hands dirty?" Is that mud?

"We planted seeds." She grinned.

"What happened to talk to him tomorrow?" I asked her.

"But they only grow at night!" She said stubbornly and then motioned Max to come closer to her.

Max gave me an amused smile as he crouched down and then Nessa whispered, "if you save me, I'll give you chocolate", in his ear, thinking I couldn't hear her.

"Can't deny that offer." Max let out a chuckle and picked Nessa up, zipping upstairs.

I could see he adored the little girl, just like everyone in the house. But I still needed to see her safe. I slowly made my way up to her room, giving them a little time.

"Is she asleep now?" I asked him as he stepped out of her room.

"Yes." He nodded, a soft smile on his lips. "I should go back to sleep too."

"Goodnight." I nodded and saw him as he went to Nat's room.

Something about the whole flower and plant thing felt off to me. Vanessa wasn't the one to get her hands dirty like that. Why didn't she just pluck the flower-like she usually does?

I went to the garden and looked around. My eyes fell on morning glories, they are the only flowers that bloom during the night and wilt before the sun rises.

I walked to the plant but stopped when I felt a soft crunch. I looked down to see a couple of wilted morning glories on the ground.

What are they doing here?

I picked them up and I immediately got negative energy coming from them. They should be fully bloomed right now but they are dead.

Why?

Morning glories are also known as moonflowers.

And in that list, it was written that Max won't be able to touch anything holy without destroying it.

Which would mean Nessa gave these flowers to him but they wilted as soon as he touched them. This is why he must have told Nessa to plant some seeds of that plant. To pacify her.

A blood-curling scream startled me out of my thoughts.

Natalia!

I ran to the beach. I hope no one is injured. Please don't let anyone be hurt. Please.
