The Lycan King’s Rejected Soulmate

Chapter 54

Avery

I almost reached out my hands to shake this woman out of her reverie. ‘Daughter? What is this woman thinking about?”

I felt like she had mistaken me for someone else.

I hoped that she was not daydreaming because her words were sounding like the mutterings a dreamer would make.

“What?” The word that was bothering me finally dropped out of my lips. The woman was amused at my shocked expression.

“I wanted to adopt a daughter but the people around me are greedy and selfish. When I saw you, I felt like I saw fate. You are a good girl.” The woman said as she looked towards the distance in thought.

My mind pricked.

I could see that her emotions were not fake.

She had truly encountered ungrateful and selfish people.

I sympathized with her because I can be said to have sampled the experiences in her shoes before.

Still, her suggestion was outrageous.

“Ma’am, I am not a good person. You are mistaken.” I denied.

I almost wanted to say the truth about me hitting the thief

unintentionally but I stopped.

I did not want her to revoke her reward because of my big mouth.

“You are a good person. I don’t need you to tell me about yourself. I am not blind, I can see for myself.” The woman said, “Call me Mrs Barrington for now.”

For now?‘

What is this woman trying to say?

I don’t understand her ‘for now‘.

Is she trying to tell me that I would change the way I address her later.

I almost wanted to tell Mrs Barrington that she was severely mistaken. I opened my mouth to continue my argument but she interrupted me.

If not for the potential reward I was going to get from her, I would have turned by back on her and left this place.

The chances of me subduing a thief and making a rich person favor is very low.

owe me a

I can even say that the percentage of that happening is impossible,

It is not every rich man or woman that would want to reward me after I helped them.

The nature of mortals is like that.

Everything is a gamble.

I can not guarantee I would catch another thief like the way I caught this

one.

I caught the thief that stole Mrs Barrington’s purse with ease. I was not sure I can replicate that.

So I had to put up with this woman’s whims for now.

She looked at my pups, “I know that you might not care about yourself but are you really able to let your children weather the elements with -you?”

Her words pricked my conscience.

I had made a decision about my life but it had implicated my pups too.

I can not leave my pups at the omega warriors camp. I don’t know when I would visit them so it is unrealistic to leave my children there.

Although my pups are werewolves, they are still kids too.

Bringing them here after they are a week old seemed like an hasty decision.

For the first time, I rethought my decision to leave the omega warriors‘

camp.

Although, my thought of leaving the camp is right, I should have waited. for my pups to be like a year old before I left the camp.

I stared at Mrs Barrington.

She had attacked the core of my worries.

I can live on the streets but I do not want my kids to experience that.

My mind went to the moon goddess.

The moon goddess was the one that choose this city.

There had to be a reason why the moon goddess sent me to this city.

She was in charge of my fate and it seemed Mrs Barrington was interwoven with my fate.

“You don’t have to make a decision now. Come with me first. You can tell me the results of your thoughts later.” Mrs Barrington said softly, “You are a mother. Your kids won’t benefit from you if you are weak or sick.”

Every word Mrs Barrington said went to address the core of the issue that was bothering me.

Her words was eloquent and convincing.

Still, I could see the trick she pulled.

It was obvious that after I go with her, she would pamper me and my children.

She would make me reluctant to leave when the time comes.

Her care would make it harder to pick the option of taking reward money and leaving.

I might even feel guilt for leaving heartlessly after all her care.

– I know Mrs Barrington had her difficulties.

She would not have been this proactive otherwise.

I knew what she was doing but I have no choice but to walk into her plans for me step by step.

At least, I sensed no malicious intentions from her. It was the reason I was able to put down part of my suspicions.

She had already made my decision for me.

I was a mother, I was going to put my pups first.

Besides, the care she would put in to convince me over the next few days would go a long way.

I was lactating.

The more healthy I am, the more nutrition’s my pups get.

“Okay. Let us go.” I said.

A bodyguard dressed in ebony black alighted from the black car. He opened the door respectfully and Mrs Barrington entered first. I hugged my pups tighter before following her actions.

After getting comfortable in the car, I looked down at my kids.

Their bright eyes looked back at me.

I had not given them a name yet. I had only given them nicknames. The triplets I gave birth to was two boys and one girl.

I nicknamed the girl Silver because her pupils were grey but they flashed with a silver light from time to time.

The nickname was also a tribute to my wolf that was also named Silver.

My wolf, Silver had gone into hibernation because of all the passive. injuries she had suffered from.

Although my body had been improved by the moon goddess, I was still mortal. I had to heal from the effects of the wolfsbane and other similar substances I fell prey to.

I decided to call my girl Silver junior in the future.

I wanted to be reminded of everything I and my wolf went through.

The first boy I gave birth to had purple eyes that gleamed with seriousness.

His eyes reminded me of his father.

Sadly, I think every purple eyes I will see from now on would remind me of the stranger I spent a passionate night with.

I might not remember his features but his eyes left a deep impression on me. It is not something I can forget easily. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

I nicknamed my first boy Rain.

The second boy had mischievousness hidden in his grey eyes.

Out of the two boys I gave birth to, he was the only one that had a similar eye color to his sister.

Still, the feel they gave me is different.

I nicknamed him Sky.

I birthed the little girl last.

I liked the order they came into this world.

The two other brothers would protect and care for their little sister with all their might.

I wanted to give them names later. I wanted to put more thoughts into their names.

After I have decided their names, their nicknames would become their

middle name.

“You truly love them.” Mrs Barrington said as she looked at me softly.

I nodded with a smile.

Mrs Barrington’s soft gaze made my impression of her increase towards a good direction.

It was obvious that she liked kids.

That took a huge portion of my worries away.

I did not feel very resistant against her anymore.

Her gaze reminded me of my mother.

I don’t know what difficulties Mrs Barrington was going through that she had to take someone off the street to be her daughter.

What I know is that as long as she treats me well, I was going to repay her efforts a hundredfold.

I, Avery won’t forget any graciousness shown to me.

A dark light flashed through my eyes.

I am very protective of those I consider my people.

I don’t know what the future would hold for me or Mrs Barrington.

Even if I don’t get to be her daughter at the end of the day, I won’t forget her efforts.

It will be very hard to find somebody like her that would want to give a person a life of comfort and luxury because the person saved them from theft.

Most people would give a monetary reward and some might not give any reward at all.

Mrs Barrington was special.

If I take her as my person, all her problems would become my problems. Anybody that challenges her or her authority would be my enemy.

It was as simple as that.

My experiences in life had made me extremely sensitive to the intentions. of others.

Right now, I felt that Mrs Barrington held no bad thoughts about me.

I don’t know if she will change in the future.

All I know is that right now, she was taking an extremely bold step

because of me.

I can imagine that she would face the rumors and gossips of people regardless of the successfulness of the adoption.

If I could, I would not want her to be a subject of rumors because rumors are lethal.

She was taking an enormous risk here and I acknowledged her efforts. This is a favor I can not forget.

If I had a choice, I would not want to sleep on the streets.

I had already burdened my pups with my problems, I did not want to make my pups more uncomfortable..

Although I have the plain silver jewelry I took from the dead woman in Gary’s crew, my chances of getting well clothed and well fed is still low.

Mrs Barrington’s preposition was like a charcoal in winter. She was giving me a pillow when I intend to sleep.

Her help came at the right time.

That itself is already enough for me to feel indebted to her.
