The Lycan King’s Rejected Soulmate

Chapter 64

Avery

I returned to the private room that Dante booked for our date in a strange mood. It was not like I was unhappy. I fought a type of unseen battle with Dante’s mother and I won.

She was not easy to get along with but I showed her I was not a soft persimmon either.

I sent the message that I was not to be trifled with too.

I showed her that I would not passively take her nonsense just because she was my man’s mother.

Still, I was not happy either.

The romantic mood that I and Dante had was destroyed.

I sat back in my chair with a sullen expression.

It was as clear as day that I was not happy.

“Avery. What happened? What made you angry in the minutes you used the restroom? I should have gone with you but you stopped me.” Dante said and my bad mood lifted a little.

His words about accompanying to the restroom almost made me laugh out loud but I held it in.

I could see that he was serious.

I don’t know why an adult male would insist on going to the bathroom with me.

It felt weird no matter which angle I looked at it.

Still, I felt his care and love.

My mood went back to how it was before I stood up to go to the restroom but there was still one flaw.

Everything can not go back to the way it was without any signs that things were

not the same.

The difference between then and now is that I was not in the mood to chat about stories concerning me again.

Encountering Dante’s mother changed my focus and priority.

“I have heard stories of your mother. Does she try to matchmake you with girls of her choosing?” I asked.

Dante’s mother did not like me. Her unfriendly expression told me that fact clearly.

I don’t know if it is because she did not pick me herself.

Still, without being Dante’s mate, it would be hard for her to choose me.

Our paths would not have even crossed each other.

“Why at you asking me this all of a sudden?” Dante asked as he observed me closely.

“I wanted to know if I have any rivals that are waiting for me. You are a hot commodity. You are rich, smart and strong. Who wouldn’t want you?” I shrugged as I spoke.

I did not lie to him.

Dante was something every woman seeks go have. He had all the features in the husband package.

I could understand why I was the focus of the malicious gazes of the ladies that attended my adoption ceremony.

It must have felt like the moon goddess was on my side.

Firstly, I got picked up to be the daughter of a millionaire.

Then, Dante seemed to have expressed interest in me.

Their guesses were right.

The moon goddess was on my side.

With everything that had been happening around me, even I, have to believe that fact.

She was rewarding me with every chance she got.

Dante was shocked.

I knew he was shocked by how I was complimenting him.

I was reciprocating.

He was just reaping the benefits of his actions. He was the one that complimented me first.

I wanted to return the favor.

Relationship is all about giving and receiving. It can not be established by only one thing alone. There have to be two.

I can not just keep receiving without returning the favor.

That would make me a scumbag.

Dante was happy at my compliment.

Nothing showed on his face but I just knew.

“You have no rivals. You are the only one I will ever love in this life. There nobody that would drag anything with you. You don’t need to care about my mother and her tricks.” Dante explained and his words went straight to the bottom of my heart.

My heart had been dealt more than one thousand points of damage.

Dante did not deliberately try to fawn on me but his every word and action seemed to be tailored to my tastes.

He knew what I wanted when I want it.

It is getting harder and harder for me to let him go.

Now that I know he is the father of my cubs, I wanted to tie him to me with all my might.

I do not mind that I am being very possessive. This is my nature and I was not going to suppress it.

I knew Dante was saying the truth..

The love in his eyes could not be ignored even if I closed my eyes. It was as scorching as the rays of the sun.

He was everything I had imagined true love to be like before my first rejection.

He was sweet, considerate and everything good.

His words had confirmed many of my thoughts.

Before Dante met me, love was not on his agenda at all.

He was the ruthless lycan king all the way.

If he did not encounter me, he might remain a bachelor forever.

Besides, there is still the chance that he might one day take a bride of his mother choosing so she would go off his back.

Frankly, without this mate bond, Dante would have nothing to do with me.

Our paths would not cross at all.

Strangely, I was thankful of the fact that I was rejected before.

Alpha Jake does not suit me at all.

We were not compatible.

Every time I looked back on the scene of me wishing alpha Jake hadn’t rejected. me, I felt seek enough to puke.

I did not know there was a better mountain before the rotten one that was alpha Jake.

Thank the moon goddess that I did not end up with him.

Truly, the plans of the gods weren’t something a mortal like me can decipher. The moon goddess had a reason for allowing the rejection to happen to me.

I felt like the pain of rejection made the intense love Dante was emanating clearer. and seductive.

The contrast was blinding.

It made me not want to let him

1. go.

If I had not gone through rejection, I would not cherish this chance the moon.

goddess got for me.

I would have taken everything as a matter of course.

I would not know that most good things came with effort.

Every of my experience was building up to give me this budding reward.

eves.

The tears that had be summoned by my emotions stung my

My tears made Dante panic.

“What is wrong? Why are you crying now?” He asked in a fluster.

I smiled within my tears.

Dante did not know that his ruthless lycan king image was collapsing like soft mud in the rain.

In front of me, it seemed like that identity did not matter.

I patted his hand to calm him down, “You are so fussy. Nothing is wrong with me, I am just happy. Tell me about your mother tricks of sending girls to you then. I want to hear.”

His previous words had already given me the affirmation that his mother always send.girls to him.

“If you want to

hear about it, I will tell you. It is not some kind of long story. She likes bringing lycan girls of her choosing to me. She wants me to choose one of them as the lycan queen.” Dante paused to observe my express, “Don’t worry, it is all her wishful thinking. Nothing happened between me and those girls.”

I nodded to acknowledge his explanation.

I could understand Dante’s mother.

She wanted to pick what she thought is the best fit for her son.

Her son had always refused but now, he was chasing a girl she did not know.

Her desire for control is strong.

Still, Dante did not want a lady he did not take a fancy too.

I was glad he had iron will.

“Can you tell me what made you sad in the restroom now?” Dante asked.

I knew that if I did not answer this question, he would find various ways to ask me later.

It is better to just spill the truth.

At least I know he was asking because he was concerned about me.

The dishes on the table were already cold because of our long discussion.

I did not want to eat cold food but the red wine was still drinkable.

I finished the content left in my glass cup before pouring myself another shot.

I took a sip of the wine I poured before I looked back at Dante.

He was staring at me like I was his entire universe.

Unknowingly, his gaze satisfied the hidden vanity I had.

“On the way to the restroom, I met your mother. I did not even know she was your mother then. She came to corner me in the restroom after we passed by each other.” I began.

Dante did not stop me from going on but I could see the anger he was trying to suppress.

If there was another glass cup in his hand now, it would undoubtedly shatter into pieces like the previous one.

“It was then that I discovered she was your mother. She said I used my face to bewitch you.” I caressed my face gently, “I told her I did not need my face to get you to chase me. Our mate bond is already enough. I left her after that.”

“If she tries anything, tell me.” He growled.

Before I came for this date with Dante, I had Mrs Barrington had been a little worried that Dante would be a slave of his mother.

There were men like that. Their mother was their life and mandate.

Their wives are just people they could divorce. any time.

Their mothers are for life.

Now, I don’t need to think about it anymore..

Dante’s action had already given me my answer.

He is really serious about our relationship.

He was willing to listen to me without bias.

No, it can be seen that he had a bias.

A bias against his mother.

I was in his safe zone.

It was moments like this that I was thankful for meeting Dante.

No wonder the moon goddess kept pressuring me to accept my second chance.

mate.

This second chance mate was too awesome.

Between I and his mother, he choose me.

He did not even care if I was smearing his mother’s name.

He did not investigate if I was just spurning tales to hide something else. He did not care that I might have lied.

Warmth filled me.

I smiled at him, “Don’t you know how my personality is like? I am not willing to suffer a loss. She can not do anything to me.”

His dark face eased at my smile.

The door to the private room opened violently and we both turned to the door.

Dante booked this private room with his identity as the lycan king. Nobody would dare to barge in.

I had a guess of who came.

There was nobody like her that would be daring enough to do this. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Besides, she did not like me so she would not have any qualms with doing this.

A middle aged woman that kept herself well was the culprit.

I smiled coldly.

Dante’s mother was not a bastard. She came as soon as we spoke of her.

How convenient.
