The Lycan King’s Breeder

Doomed



Chapter 35: Avalyn’s POV

The garden became silent and I could pick out the sound of everyone’s breathing as they all watched Talon’s reaction.

The queen suddenly cleared her throat, breaking the impending silence as she held Talon’s arm. “What my King means is that Avalyn here is only but a maid. Alpha Trevor wouldn’t want his heir to get mated with a common maid, will he?” she said glaring at me and each word that left her lips felt like whiplashes against my heart.

“My father doesn’t incriminate positions and besides, I really like her. Can she join us for the banquet later tonight?” Monty asked as his hold on me grew tighter.

I could feel the heat of Talon’s gaze upon our intertwined hands and the queen’s cold glare fighting over who got to vaporize me first.

Trevor let out a sigh as a smile covered his face. “My king, with all due respect. Since the girl is an ordinary maid, let her spend some time with Monty at the banquet. It will mean a lot to me,” the man said and my heart jumped out of my throat.

“That is complete-” Talon started to say through gritted teeth but the queen interrupted him immediately.

“Of course, Alpha Trevor, you don’t have to beg for a common maid. She will be there,” she said smiling at the man and then turning to Dawn. “Dear, be useful and take-” she paused as her cold glare washed over me one last time. “-Avalyn, back to her quarters and make her look presentable enough for the banquet.”

Dawn grabbed my hand in record time. “Yes, my queen.”

She pulled me away from Monty and we started heading into the castle with her hearts beating in our toes.

“I’ll save a seat for you, beautiful Avalyn!” I heard Monty call behind us and my heart shook in fear and shame -and every other dark emotion that existed.

I knew I shouldn’t have gone out. I just knew it. Now, what was I going to do?

I questioned myself over and over as we practically ran back to my room. The moment we stepped in, I fell on the bed and started crying.

“Oh, Dawn, I am doomed…” Sobbed into the sheets.

What was I going to do? Talon was definitely going to have my head for this. There was no way he would let me live and if he even let me live, the queen was not going to forgive me.

“Okay, calm down. I know this is messed up but please look at the bright side!” Dawn exclaimed as she knelt beside me.

I raised my head from the sheet with tears covering my eyes and I glared at her. “What bright side Dawn? The Queen is definitely going to kill me after this…” I sobbed as more tears escaped from my eyes.

“Aish!” Dawn cried out, slapping a hand over her face. “I have told you, right now you have immunity over everything. No one is going to hurt you, okay?”

I wanted to believe that. I strongly wanted to but if she had felt those glares like I had, she wouldn’t be saying this right now.

“Rather than cry, let’s think of the proper dress for you! I need to go find Cassie. She will definitely have the best dress ideas…” Dawn said with enthusiasm.

I raised my head from the sheets once again and watched her with shock in my eyes. How could she be so bubbled up in this time of doom?

“Dawn, I don’t want to go to that banquet party or whatever it is! I don’t want to…” I cried as I shook my head.

Dawn rolled her eyes and sat on her heels. “Avalyn, the queen of this kingdom, gave her word that you will be there. You can’t decide not to,” she explained. “You have to go. If you don’t, your head won’t be the only one on the stake… Mine too.”

I snapped my head at her at once. “What? They can’t kill you. You are Greg’s sister!” I retorted but she shook her head sadly.

“I won’t be surprised if she makes him do it… Don’t be deceived by her pretty face. That woman gives me the creeps,” she said as she got up again.

“I’ll go get you a dress so long. Get a shower and wait for me,” Dawn said but Greg’s deep voice stopped her.

“That won’t be necessary. I already brought the clothes,” He hissed. “What the hell were you thinking Dawn?!” He growled as soon as he dropped the pile of clothes on the bed.

Dawn pursed her lips and dropped her head to the floor.

“Avalyn is a human! How do you think she will cope in a banquet full of werewolves?” He growled even louder.

“I wasn’t the one who suggested she attend the banquet,” she mumbled but Greg’s hot glare made her seal her lips again.

“Do you think we were stupid when we asked you to keep her indoors?!”

My heart sank further and further into my chest as he scolded Dawn. She had convinced me to go to the garden but I accepted on my own. It wasn’t right that she took the whole blame for this mess.

I got up from my position and came to stand before him with my head lowered.

“I am sorry Greg…” I sniffled. “Dawn isn’t the one to blame here… I -I needed fresh air and I- I thought it would be fine if I headed to the garden…” I whispered in a low voice.

Silence filled the room like my voice had broken a vial that prevented sounds from infiltrating. I could feel his glare on my forehead but I refused to look up at him.

“Beta Greg, the problem is already upon us. This is no time to scold them. They have recognized their errors and now we need to fix them,” Sara’s voice filled the room, piercing the silence my voice had invited.

I peeked up and saw her step in from the door.

“Please, let me handle her dressing, we don’t have a lot of time left,” she added.

Greg let out a deep heave and without saying another word to me or Dawn, he walked out of the room.

As soon as the door closed, I hugged Sara as if my life depended on it.

“Sara, I am so scared. I don’t want to go to this banquet! Please help me,” I cried on her shoulders.

She pulled me gently off her shoulders and wiped my tears away with her thumb. She smiled at me and raised my chin.

“The milk has already been spilled. There is no point crying. Go take a shower and we’ll pick a dress. Don’t cry, the banquet isn’t such a bad place. The worst moment is over already,” she said.

I felt like melting away or crying harder but I knew there was no turning back at this point. I was on my own.

“Okay,” I mumbled with trembling lips.

I turned around and started heading to the bathroom in slow steps, hoping she would call me back and tell me how the queen changed her mind and requested that I stay locked up in my room till the baby was born.

At this point, I wished for anything as long as I wouldn’t be going to that banquet but nothing happened. I was doomed.

“Dawn, stop sulking and go get your makeup materials. You are in charge of her hair and her face.” I heard Sara order Dawn who groaned as she dragged her feet out of the room.

I turned on the shower and stood underneath, hoping I could drown. Why did that Monty guy have to cause so many problems for me?Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

My tears mixed with the water and my heart shook as I scrubbed myself. I spent extra minutes, wasting time and hoping it got too late for me to go but Sara soon knocked asking me to step out.

“Locking yourself in there isn’t going to cut it, Avalyn!” She said and I dragged myself to the door and I wrapped my body with a towel.

She smiled at me as I finally stepped out but I couldn’t even find it in me to return the smile.

“I chose this dress for you,” She said waving a dark red dress in front of me.

My brows furrowed at her choice but I kept my lips sealed. I let her cream my body and help me into the dress.

“Waoh!” She whispered. “You look amazing!” She said as she pulled me to the mirror.

The dress hugged my body perfectly. My curves came out like a drawing against the soft material. There was a slit on the side of my leg and I couldn’t help but wonder if I didn’t do too much.

“A-are m-maids, allowed to dress like this?” I stuttered as my eyes roamed over the beautiful dress.

The top of the dress was off the shoulders and they were embellished with shiny little stones that exposed a little part of my cleavage -surely this was too much for a maid to turn up in.

“You are not a maid, Avalyn. You are carrying the heir to our Kingdom. You deserve beautiful dresses just as much as the queen herself,” Sara replied with a brush of my shoulders.

I loved the dress but I couldn’t help but feel the impending doom that it begged to attract.

“Oh, my goddess!” Dawn screeched from the door and I turned from the mirror to check what was wrong with her.

She placed the bag she was holding on the bed and came closer to me. “Sara, where is my Avalyn and who is this sexy princess?” Her soiled mood was gone and a large smile sat on her lips as she hungrily took me in.

I blushed at her comment and dropped my head but Sara was quick to tap my shoulder gently.

“Do not look down. You are a beautiful princess tonight. Do not let someone else tell you otherwise!” She said to me and then turned to Dawn, “let’s get to work with that hair.”

By the time they were done with me, I didn’t just look like a princess, I felt like one too.

The glares of the people as I got to the banquet hall with Sara by my side, were enough to convince me.

Tonight, I was a beautiful Princess.

A smile covered my face and I enjoyed the attention, up until I felt the cold glare attacking my bare shoulders.

I turned my eyes in that direction, hoping it wouldn’t be who I was thinking but our eyes clashed and I couldn’t turn away -the queen.
