The Lycan King novel Chapter 4

"Get out." My eyes slid shut in disappointment. I couldn't deal with this rejection.

Her eyes shut close and more tears fell down. "I'm sorry." Her hand forwarded but I caught it before she could touch me. I wanted her to touch me because she wanted to, not because I told her to. Fear wasn't the way I wanted to go forward with her.-

"I said, leave, Avalyn. I'll be right out." My voice sounded rough because of the hurt my wolf was feeling. Fuck. She looked terrified.

She jumped and rushed out, closing the door behind her.

I'll deal with it once I'm done here.

I jerked myself off as I stood under cold water. I placed my hand against the tiled wall and tried to calm myself. Why was I so attracted to her? I hated not knowing it. Who the fuck does not know if a person is their mate or not?

I want to fuck some manners into her but I'd rather punch myself in the face than hurt her like that. Why am I so fucking horny when it comes to her? Why is she turning me on unlike any other woman has ever been able to?

Shaking my head, I turned off the water and stepped out, rubbing myself dry with a towel before I wrapped it around my waist.

I walked out and almost tripped over Ava who was kneeling just outside the door. She was facing away from me and was bent over, her ass in the air, her cheek touching the floor.

What the fuck! Fucking Emilio bastard! I knew he was cruel but it could be some other Master she had before him too! I fucking hated the thought of anyone else except me touching her.

"Get up!" I forced myself to be calm. I didn't want to scare her with my anger. I wasn't angry at her. I was angry at her previous Masters who have messed with her this bad. I want to show her I wasn't like her other Masters but so far, I have done nothing to prove it otherwise.

"I'm sorry Master, please punish me. I want to be the perfect slave for you, let me serve you, let me make you happy, let me submit to you." She was crying now.

"I'm not mad at you, Ava. Stand up." I sighed, my anger dissolving just like that. She doesn't deserve my anger, even though it's not towards her. She doesn't deserve my mood swings. I need to control myself better around her.

I usually have a tight control over all my feelings and emotions but with her, I feel like I'm at her mercy. Like one word out of her mouth can lead me to slay hundreds of people.

"Let’s have food." I pulled her to the table. where the food had already arrived. I pushed her plate towards her. Her eyes widened at that.

"I want your plate empty." I told her firmly. The only good thing those poor excuses of Masters did was feed her well. But then again that would have been for their own benefit- so she had enough mass on her bones to look pleasing to the eye and have the supple body she has.

"Yes, Master." She said. I saw her lips tug up a bit, it was barely there but it was an improvement.

"There are few things that need to be changed Ava." I started after our dinner.

"Yes, Master." She whispered. There she goes, calling me Master again. I can accept the fact that I like it. But I also wanted to hear her say my name.

"What was rule number two?" I arched my brow.
