The Lycan King’s Rejected Soulmate

Chapter 79

Chapter 79 Avery When I was strolling to the forest surrounding the Lycan City, time flew by quickly but now, it felt like time slowed to a crawl as I was going back home. I was even in my wolf form but it made no difference. Still, no matter how slow the time felt to me, I finally arrived at the mansion that was at the center of the Lycan City. I stormed into the mansion. In the large living room, I saw madam Romanos and Savina discussing excitedly. The smiles on their lips disgusted me. I pasted a sarcastic smile on my face. “Was that fun?” I asked. Both of them jolted. They were both lycans, they should have been able to perceive my arrival but their glee stopped them. I was willing to bet that their glee was because they thought they had successfully frightened me away. “Y-you! What are you doing here? Why are you back?” Savina didn’t have Madam Romanos’s huge pile of experience so she lost her composure as soon as she saw me. Madam Romanos on the other hand was much calmer. She tried to give me a smile, “What are you talking about? I originally wanted to ask you why you stormed out like that?” My smile grew. “Don’t try to pretend. You know we don’t need that between us. We show our deepest ugliness to each other.” said, “Don’t try to patronize me. I am not Savina.” I turned to Savina. She must be gleeful now. I would not lie, her plan was ingenious.

When I saw Dante in bed with her, I could not think. My mind could not process anything other than the image I saw. Savina had played her cards right. No mate would be the same if he or she saw their partner in bed with somebody else. It is a pain that can rip a mortal apart.

The anger caused by the betrayal and the other emotions rioting within my heart did not let me see the scheme both Madam Romanos and Savina concocted quickly. So, even smart people had their dumb moments too. If Luca had not come to defend Dante, I would still be holding a grudge. I could not believe that I almost put Luca on my blacklist because he was trying to defend his king. “I did not go somewhere far. I can not leave my kids here since there are bad lycans in the building. Am I right, Savina?” I did not try to sugarcoat anything. Time and time again, I tried to give madam Romanos the chances to leave me alone. It is not a must to like a person but you can at least ignore the person. It would have been better for her to ignore me instead of trying nonsense with every opportunity she’s got. “So you got in bed with Dante to make me misunderstand? Even the scratches are so realistic?” I covered my mouth with my hand, “Do you want me to tell Dante to get you a job at maybe Tellywood? You would be great actress. You shouldn’t let your talent rot here.” Savina tried to smile at me but the smile didn’t form very well, “Sister Avery, what are you saying? I have served lycan king Dante. We are all family now.” “What do you think this era is? The ancient times? I could understand that you want to strive for something but that something can not be my man.” I snapped. I did not want to soften any of my words at all.

I was scared. I would have made an irrevocable mistake. I was this close to losing my beloved. I was on the brink of losing Dante and it was the handiwork of these two. It made me want to tear them to pieces. It was the rational part of my brain that was holding the emotional part back. I would have caused destruction if I disregarded the consequences. “I would say it again. Don’t try to come close to my man again or I won’t be this merciful.” My anger was reflected in my voice. And you, madam Romanos. I have never met a mother that was as insensitive as you are. If they call for bad mothers, you should stand up and answer.” I commented as I turned to Madam Romanos. I knew that there are bad mothers in this world but this is my first time experiencing it first hand. I never knew she was willing to go to such lengths in a bid to eliminate me from her son’s side. She was willing to do anything to get rid of me. I was constantly reminded that not all mothers are like my mother that sacrificed her life for me and Mrs Barrington who had taken me in when I had nothing. Madam Romanos had revealed that she was not part of the minority that cherished their kids. “You were willing to feed your son a drug to knock him out. You wanted him to be unconscious to facilitate your evil plan. How could you stomach that as a mother?” I could not understand. If one of my three kids get hurt, I panic. I would still be thrown in disarray with their every injury even when I knew they had the physiques of the lycan’s. I knew they would heal up nicely but I still worry. I can not imagine myself doing what Madam Romanos did. She was willing to use her own blood as a means to eliminate the eyesore that discomfited her It was ridiculous. I felt like I had guessed part of the reason Dante was not that close with her. To me, she wasn’t a mother at all. Dante was smart. He would have noticed something.

“If anybody feels like they want to fight with me for Dante, come forward. Let us have a fight to the death.” I raised my voice as much as I could so people outside the mansion can hear me too. I noticed that both Madam Romanos and Savina kept quiet. If it was normal silence, it would not matter. I would not even care but their silence was a deathly one. They were looking at me, No. They were looking at something behind me. I turned around to see Dante on the staircase. His arms was folded. His purple eyes always had this light-hearted tinge, Even with his ruthless personality, his eyes would just darken but now, they showed something different. His eyes was having an hint of red. This little bit of red changed his disposition tremendously. He was like an entirely new person. He looked scary. He felt scary. His reddish purple eyes was pinned on me. Surprisedly, I did not really feel any threat. I felt like the two behind me should worry more. “I thought you took the kids and left.” Dante drawled slowly. It was like he was savoring every word before he let it out. The Dante I knew wasn’t like this. He might be a bit taciturn but he liked to make conversations because of me. I felt like I have not known him before. I felt like this was the real lycan king in the rumors. The lycan king that was said to be ruthless and merciless. His words gave me a strange feeling. I had a suspicion that if I had left with the kids angrily, Dante would have hunted me down. I would not have much place to hide. I laughed awkwardly, “I got carried away by my emotions for a second. Why will I leave like that?” He smiled.

The smile wasn’t something huge. The corner of his lips just tilted up a little but that was enough to make me swoon. “I know. Come here.” His tone didn’t give any leeway for disobedience. His purple eyes that had a tinge of red showed me his state. I walked straight into his arms right away. His arms coiled around my waist like metal h ooks. There was no space to maneuver. I could only lean my back on his chest without any space between us. Dante hummed in satisfaction and the redness in his eyes faded away a little to reveal more of the places the red color had taken over. “Luca.” Dante called softly. Luca appeared right away. “Son. It isn’t what you think. I did it for you.” Madam Romanos must have noticed Dante’s unusual state so she began to explain and beg. Dante stared at her for a moment before he smiled again. This time, it was a full blown smile but it was marred by the chilliness within his curving lips. “I know.” Dante replied before turning to Luca. Madam Romanos heaved a sigh of relief but I felt things was not that simple. She shouldn’t celebrate too soon. Dante was obviously angry at her. She’ shouldn’t be this relaxed. “Call the guards to assist you. Take my mother to her room. She needs to have some personal time.” Dante’s eyes shifted to the shivering Savina, “Lock her in the dungeon. I would visit her soon.” “No! My lord, I was mistaken. Please have mercy. Your mother pushed me into this!” Savina pleaded as she tried to hug Dante’s leg in a bid to obtain forgiveness. “know.” Dante repeated then he continued his next words in a whisper, “But that doesn’t mean I will forgive.” I knew it.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
