The Lycan King’s Rejected Soulmate

Chapter 34

Avery

A woman was seated in front of the statue depicting the moon goddess.

Her eyes opened when I appeared and I had to marvel at her sharp senses. She was truly the epitome of a purebred warrior.

The woman was dressed in a short top and a skirt that stopped at the middle of her thigh.

The attire she was dressed in made it easier for her to make lithe movement. Her skirt had numerous slits that wouldn’t hinder her leg’e motion.

She looked like a female cheetah that was ready to launch.

The woman’s aura was frightening.

Her black hair was speckled with hints of silver. The silver in her hair made her stern demeanor seem softer somehow.

She was a beautiful middle–aged shewolf. It was obvious she aged well.

The woman rose to her feet before she closed her eyes again and we stood at a stalemate for a few minutes.

“Avery, welcome to the omega warrior’s camp. The woman said, “My name is Mia.”

I looked at her in surprise.

The omega warrior’s camp fufilled most of my expectations.

It was as the rumors said. The moon goddess was closer to this group of people than her normal creations.

I smiled at her, “Hello Mia, nice to meet you.”

Mia gave me an appreciative gaze.

“I don’t know if the moon goddess briefed you on this place but I will try to go over the details I have. This is the omega warriors‘ camp. The woman began.

I nodded.

The moon goddess did not go into the specifics of what the warriors in this place. do. She had only given me a brief overview.

She assured me that my combat experience would increase before the big battle that was going to happen between the supporters of the moon goddess and the minions of the evil god, Daemon

Since this place was going to be my home, it is better for me to have more. information on it so I would be able to abide by the rules governing this place. I don’t want to be caught off guard.

“The moon goddess makes her requests known to us directly but she doesn’t

communicate often. “Mia said as she gestured for me to sit down on the floor.

“Our talk might be longer than the time I am estimating it to take” Min explained as she sat down again.

She was sitting down previously but she stood up when I appeared here.

I copied her action and I sat down with my legs folded.

Mia sniffed the air slightly before she settled her piercing eyes on me.

“You are pregnant.” Mia said and I smiled in affirmation.

Her words wasn’t a question or anything of that sort. Her words were a statement. This time around, I did not feel panicked that someone knew of my pregnancy.

1 felt at ease.

The moments people other than me knew of my pregnancy, my mind was not

settled.

I did not feel any judging gaze from Mia. She just stated her observation and then, she moved on from the matter.

“We resolve wars and issues affecting the stable balance in this world. We keep ant eye on all werewolves and all lycans.” Mia said.

I have heard whispers of what she was saying.

The omega warriors was a legend. They keep other werewolves and lycans in

check.

The omega warriors was a symbol of respect and awe.

“The goddess had already told me that there would be a clash between her faction and the faction of another god. We were told to prepare.” Mia scanned me up and down, “I was told that you were the chosen one. The shewolf that would lead us to victory.”

I straightened my posture. I couldn’t let the moon goddess care over me go to

waste.

I have to convince this woman before me that I was not some sort of nonsensical fill in for the real chosen one.

I know Mia would trust the moon goddess‘ judgement but werewolves aren’t puppets.

They have their own mind. They can think, speculate and observe. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

A person’s attitude matters a lot.

If a person with a good impression of me tried to help me covertly even as my former pack shunned me, I would have appreciated that rare kindness.

The mind is a deep ocean. It is impossible to see and explore the depths clearly.

Even if I can predict the actions some people might take, it didn’t mean I have full control over the knowledge of their thoughts.

Although Mia wouldn’t question the choice of the moon goddess, what is on Mia’s mind matters too.

The way Mia would behave and respond to me if she didn’t approve of me is different from the way she would interact with me if she accepts me as a friend or acquaintance.

Her approval was critical.

“All those ‘chosen‘ things are just embellishments. I am fortunate the moon. goddess didn’t let me wallow in the pitiful state she found me.” My words were as true as I could get it to be.

I wasn’t trying to fawn on Mia.

For people like her, truths that had no exaggeration or embellishments is enough to draw them closer to me.

Trying to suck up to Mia without telling the truth would be going down the wrong lane.

It would have the opposite effect of my aim.

Besides, the words flowing out of my mouth came from my heart.

Without the moon goddess, I wouldn’t even be here. I might just be another corpse shallowly buried in a grave.

My fate of being a man’s concubine would have happened even after I ran away from alpha Bryan.

Thinking back now, I felt like all the times I got angry at the moon goddess was ridiculous.

All those moments always ends with her showing me the reasons behind her actions.

I discovered that all the times I argued with the moon goddess, I always lost.

It is because the moon goddess had more experience so she could see things I couldn’t.

Besides, I sometimes fall prey to my emotions but the moon goddess considers logic first.

She is my lifesaver.

Mia’s face turned into a brighter shade at my words.

I got right down to business.

“The moon goddess brought me to the omega warriors camp to train me. Staying here would also let me gain more combat experience.” I explained, “It would help in the coming clash with the other god.”

From Mia’s body language and expression, I knew the moon goddess didn’t give her details like she did to me.

I guess this was the perks of being a chosen one. I wasn’t kept in the dark like the

others.

“Putting the upcoming battle aside, the warriors here have noticed that the frequencies of conflicts popping up is getting alarming” Mia’s face was grave.

could see she took this growing trouble seriously.

“We used to have all the time to train but now, we have to resolve issues so there is little time to practice our combat skills.” Mia said regretfully.

As she spoke, I ruminated over her words.

Since the moon goddess told me the full story. I can think deeper.

I have a gut feeling that this recent skirmishes disturbing the peace of the werewolves‘ race had everything to do with the evil god, Daemon.

I didn’t say my speculation out loud.

I did not want to frighten Mia this early.

I can bet all my cards that Mia didn’t know that this god had almost the same power the moon goddess has.

She made Daemon after giving up a lot as sacrifice. Daemon can be assumed to have half of her powers.

That fact made him very dangerous.

He could even contend with the moon goddess for years. Standing toe to toe with her was already showing his might and prowess.

The opposing god knew too much too.

He had served by the moon goddess’s side since he was born.

To me, the person who understood the moon goddess after excluding her is Daemon.

He had been her companion for years.

I couldn’t understand the thoughts of an elusive god like Daemon.

He had everything at his fingertips when he was staying by the moon goddess’s side.

I can not really grasp the reason he discarded all the benefits he had within the palms of his hands just for the sake of being the main god in charge of this world. It was amusing.

Now, Deamon had a very powerful enemy on his tail.

I sighed.

Mia tilted her head to the side and looked at me in askance.

“I was just thinking about what mortals and immortals would do for power. Power is corrupting.” I shook my head as I said those words.

Alpha Bryan was willing to give me away as a concubine to the man that rejected me because he wanted to increase the sphere of his influence.

Influence, power and money.

These things kill but people refused to acknowledge that fact. All they wanted to see is the benefits.

Whether they acknowledge the disadvantage these things bring or they disregard it, these things would collect the price of using or coveting them.
