The Lycan King’s Rejected Soulmate

Chapter 77

Avery

A few days flew by but there was no response from both Savina and madam Romanos,

It was unsettling because I knew that Savina did not intend to give up on the position by Dante’s side. Her words had given enough clue.

Still, there is still the possibility that they had been cowed by my intense momentum a week before.

My pups were of the lycan’s bloodline so they grew faster than most werewolves.

Although they were still small, they could walk and they babble some sentences occasionally.

I thought Silver junior would stick to me because she was a girl but I was mistaken. She would rather experience the womderous sights this world has than to stick with me.

To my surprise, Sky was the one that could not bear to separate from me.

Rain, their elder brother had a mix of both their personalities. Normally, he would keep a passive face as he watched everyone but sometimes, he would want to stick with me too.

I was playing with the kids in the living room.

The lycan’s might not really like me but they adore the kids.

Toys, clothes and everything the pups needed are given to them on a silver platter.

Spending more time with my pups made me realize a mistake I did in my anger.

I remembered that when I was on my escape, I encountered an human tribe that wanted to sacrifice me to a statue of the moon goodness in a bid to achieve the powers werewolves

possess.

I wiped off their tribe from the face of the world when I recovered my mobility.

Maybe the moon goddess ceased to comment about that because she wanted me to train my brutality.

I did not see anything wrong with me killing everybody in the tribe at that time but now, I repented.

I should not have killed those children. They were the innocent parties. Even if the children had a tinge of evil in their thinking and personalities, it is what the adults instilled in them.

Children are clean slates when they are born.

They are not to blame that I was blind. I could not blame them for my inability to see the disguise Nara put before me.

I should have spared them.

Although I do not know if they would have been able to survive without any adults to mentor them, I should not have killed them.

“Avery dear, please help me deliver this tray of food to Dante.” Madam Romanos came downstairs with a silver tray in her hands.

Her words were as warm as the sun’s rays but they sent a chill down my spine.

I shrugged that chilly feeling off. If Madam Romanos was willing to stay in her lane, I was willing to

do my duties as her daughter–in–law.

Since she is making the efforts, it would be a sin if I still keep my stubborn attitude.

I stood up and accepted the tray from her.

“Please help me look after the kids. I will be back soon.” I said to her and headed up the stairs to our bedroom.

Most of Dante’s time was spent on doing his tasks in our bedroom. He was more comfortable there than in his study room.

He liked to hear the chatters I and our pups make.

“Oh yes. You would soon be back.” Madam Romanos’s voice was strange but I ignored it.

It might be something other than my suspicions.

Right now, I was trying to caution my wary personality. I don’t want to send potential friends and relatives far away because of my trust issues.

Was I hurt? Yes!

Still, that did not give me the right to act arbitrarily.

I came before our bedroom’s door. A strange sound was coming from the depths of the room.

I paused my action of opening the door so I could listen carefully.

The more I heard, the more uncomfortable I felt.

My heart was beating erratically.

The strange sounds was made by a woman and a woman is not supposed to be in the bedroom and Dante shared. It was our matrimonial room.

Outsiders wasn’t allowed to trespass:

For some reason, I felt like the women’s voice was familiar.

This familiarity did not make me joyous, it only expounded on my weird and uncomfortable mood.

I finally mustered up the courage to push the door open.

I scanned the bedroom.

The strange voice stopped and a woman without any hint of clothing raised her head to look at me in shock.

This woman was Savina, the daughter–in–law that madam Romanos chose.

An unmoving man was beside her.

Nail scratches was littered across his exposed back. I knew who the man was.

He was the only man that had access to this room in the first place. He was Dante.

The tray that contained the food I was supposed to bring slipped from my hand and crashed to the floor.

The food laid messily on the ground in front of me.

The room was dim but my sight wasn’t affected.

The noise did not make Dante flinch. It was like he was unwilling to look at me.

I knew Dante could not do this kind of thing but why is he in bed with a person I considered a rival in

love?

I remembered the statement Savina made to me in the party that was held a week ago.

She mentioned something about us serving the same husband.

That sentence hinted at her zeal to continue to chase Dante but I did not know it would result in

this.

“Dante. Dante! What is the meaning of this?” I tried to calm my tumultuous emotions as I spoke.

Dante did not reply. He laid unmoving on the bed.

The only thing that shook a little is the pinkie finger on his right hand.

I laughed but it wasn’t a happy gesture at all.

“Sister Avery, you knew this was going to come sooner or later. Why are you behaving weirdly now?” Savina asked as her shock faded from her eyes and a blushing shyness replaced it.

My eyes started to see red. I could not think properly.

Only the image before me that was burned into my retina remained.

Murderous intents filled my heart.

I looked at the unmoving Dante and turned to leave.

I must leave this place before I do something I would regret.

I can not stand the thought of Dante cheating on me with Savina.
