The Faye Queen

*Sequel of The Werewolf King*

Read The Werewolf King first for better understanding of this book.

"It wasn't your motive to hurt me?" She rasped, her voice low but rough, like it hurt her to speak. And then she went silent to gather her strength, her chest rising and falling rapidly as she breathed hard. "It wasn't your motive to hurt me?" She repeated, her voice loud and hard. "Don't lie to me! That's exactly what you wanted!" She screamed, her eyes wild. "You want to hurt me. You always hurt me. Always."

My body vibrated with anger. She thought that! And why wouldn't she? It's true. I hurt her. That's all I do. That's what I'm good at.

That's what she expects of me. So that's what she is going to get.

"You must be a sick masochist then. Since you always come back begging for more." I pushed myself off the wall and walked out.

Adrik is still alive and eating at Nikolai's conscience. Will Nikolai be able to kill him or will he lose? Ava's wolf is getting weaker. What does that imply? Will Avalyn and Nikolai still be as strong as ever or will their will to do the right thing and thirst to get revenge get in the way? Will a third or fourth person get added to the mix? Is their love strong enough to withstand anything thrown their way? Nikolai said in the beginning that he wasn't sure if Avalyn was his mate, is she really? What does it mean that Nikolai needs to grow into himself? Are they meant to be together? Will they get a happy ending? Read The Faye Queen to find out.

The sequel is full of action, drama, revelations, betrayal, heartbreak and of course, romance. It's going to be a rollercoaster. Consider yourself warned.

Book Two of The Royals series.

Avalyn

The whole week flew by in a blur. Nik and Vladimir were busy discussing the upcoming meeting of all the kingdoms.

Nat and I took it upon ourselves to help Sofiya feel at home.

The first day, we only managed to show the west wing. It included one main living room, two smaller living rooms, a sitting room, a library, an indoor swimming pool, an indoor-outdoor gym, dining room, kitchen, a theatre, a gaming room, an armoury, a wine cellar, a few studies and numerous bedrooms, of course. There was a staff quarters as well but we left it out of the tour.

Sofiya was tired after that so we continued the tour of the rest of palace on the next day and of the pack on the day after that.

Sofiya was still off, as Nikolai put it.

"I'm a bit tired, I'll go take a nap." Sofiya stood up and left to go to her bedroom.

"What's up with her?" Nat frowned.

Today was our last day here and then we were leaving for Bellehaven Isle.

The main pool of the palace was the best pool ever and since Sofiya loved swimming, we decided to come here.

"I don't know." I sighed and then sat on a built in stool. "She has been this way ever since we went to Mozog three months ago."

"Is she mad at you for some reason?" Nat asked and took a seat beside me, flailing her legs to swish the water around.

"I don't think so. I haven't done anything to make her upset." At least I don't think I have.

"You should talk to her." Nat told me.

"We haven't been alone since she got here. I'll talk to her as soon as I get the chance." I promised.

"Good." She nodded and then pushed me in the water.

I sputtered as I came to the top, only to hear her laughing at me. I pulled her leg, making her fall in the pool too and then I continued to laugh at her.

We heard the doors opened and we turned to look at the wolf who came in. He bowed before looking at me. "The Alpha has asked for your presence in his office."

"Thank you, Karl." I smiled and he blushed before bowing and then left hurriedly.

Nat snickered. "Literally everyone in the palace has a crush on you."

"What?"

"The fact that you care enough to remember everyone's names and are so kind and caring towards everyone makes them like you instantly. Plus you give out this energy that makes people gravitate towards you. That makes people like you more." She grinned. "It's cute."

"Really?" I vaguely remember Dimitri had told me something along the lines of the pack members wanting me to to like them. But I didn't know that they gravitated towards me.

"It's more cute because you are absolutely clueless about your charms, Avalyn." She rose out of the water and I followed.

"It won't be very cute when Nik knows that so many people have a crush on me." Poor souls.

"Oh yes. He's going to be growling and exerting dominion on everyone who even looks at you." Her eyes grew mischievous.

"Don't you dare!" I pointed a finger at her. I just know she will subtly tell him just to pull his leg.

But then it will get in his head and he will probably order everyone to not look at me or something absurd like that.

She started laughing and then we both went to the changing rooms and changed out of our swimsuits after a quick shower.

We parted ways after that and I went to Nik's office.

"Took you long enough." Nik commented when I entered.

"I was swimming." I smiled and pecked his lips.

"Fine." He said and I moved to stand behind him and gave him a shoulder massage to lighten his stress while he worked on his laptop.

"You called for me?" I said after a while.

"Just a second." He finished typing something and then shut his laptop before he pulled me on his lap.
