The Lycan King’s Rejected Soulmate

“What happened?” Mockery colored Sadie’s voice, “Cat’s got your tongue?”

I held the anger and the other emotions wrecking through me on a leash.

This wasn’t the time to flip out.

There were many inconsistencies in the conclusion I came to. It was better to get as much information as I could from Sadie.

“Why are you doing this? What did I do to offend you? What did I do that made you hate me?” I asked as soon as I got my emotions under control.

Sadie began to laugh.

For a while minute, her laughs kept ringing like an haunting lullaby.

“What’s so funny? I loved you but this was how you chose to repay me? Where did all those love and care we shared go?” I’ was finally able to release the frustrating questions I wanted an answer to.

“Shut up!” Sadie’s voice changed into something dark and eerie, “Did you deserve all of this? We went through the same. rejection, why had you found a second chance mate? Why did you get to have all the good things?”

Suddenly, I understood.

“So

you did all this to hurt me because you were jealous of the fact that I had Dante as a second chance mate?” Unknowingly, my voice was tinged with a chill.

Her reason for disregarding our friendship to hurt me was laughable. It was a reason that did not make sense.

“What happened to being best friends? What happened to caring about each other’s wellbeing?” I laughed wryly.

I felt like a fool.

As I was going through my hellish experiences, the thoughts of my pups, Dante and Sadie kept me from losing my cool and… going insane.

I did not know that I had been making a mistake. I was cherishing something that was already lost.

“Why would the moon goddess do this? You get to shine in the height while I kept spiralling into the dark recesses of my mind. How is that fair? In your mind, is that fair to me?” Sadie continues with a chilly fervor in her tone.

Tears pr icked my eyes.

I wanted to cry for the past Sadie that I had lost forever. I don’t know who this current Sadie is.

“The moon goddess abandoned me first so I had to get back at you and her. I had to show the moon goddess that her decisions

arf flawed.” A strange excitement was present in her voice. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“I want everything you have to go down the drain. I want you to have a taste of the darkness that had consumed me. I want you to go from the high perch you think you sit to the gutters.” Sadie continued.

My hand tightened around the phone, “Sadie, you are st upid.”

Her tirade stopped, “What did you say?!”

“I said you are st upid.” I repeated, “If you are not crazy and st upid, you would not leave your creator. You would not even

side with a g od that had a record of betraying who created him. Why didn’t I notice your daftness before?”

“I don’t even know how you could trust him. At least the moon goddess knows that you are her creation. To Daemon, you are just a soldier who changed camps. He would not trust you fully.” I continued quickly without letting her say her input.

“How did you know about Daemon?” Sadie’s voice shook.

“Unlike you, I think and I do so thoroughly. Your suspicious behavior gave his identity away. I am sure he told you about me being the chosen one the moon goddess picked.” I sneered.

My kids was kidnapped and taken to G od knows where and their current status was unknown. All this was just because someone was jealous of my success.

Someone I considered to be a part of my family.

“So what if you know everything? Why can’t I be the chosen one? We both went through rejections! Why did the moon goddess chose you instead of me?” Sadie retorted. Her voice mellowed considerably.

The panic that was heavy in her voice when I exposed my knowledge of the identity of her secret backer was nowhere to be. seen. I could even detect a few hints of gloating.

She was asking questions she did not want an answer to. She had already chosen her answers.

Sadie seemed to be quite happy with the decisions she made.

“It is because of this character of yours. She chose me even when I am not perfect, chosing you would be a disaster.” I did not mind ripping that useless mask she kept on.

A mask that denoted her status as a victim.

Even if she was the victim, it did not give her any right to do evil.

She wasn’t even a victim at all.

“We are not the only ones that was rejected. Why don’t I see others throwing themselves at Daemon?” I said sarcastically, “Your only value to Daemon is your position as my friend. I would see if he would find you to be important after this.”

The line went quiet after I had spoken.

“Your words are sharp now, I would love to see how you struggle in the end. Struggle more, I want to see you fight against your predetermined fate. The more you fight, the more joy I get so do well to entertain me.” After her threatening words, the call was ended from her side.

Dante looked at me, “What did she say? Did you get anything out of her?”

I shook my head, “I only confirmed that Daemon is her mysterious benefactor and backer. She ended the call before I can get anything else.”

We were in a dead end again.

“Give me the phone.” Dante requested and I handed it to him.

“What do you need it for?” I asked.

He signalled for me to wait and then, he sent some messages on his phone.

“I want to see if I would be able to get your friend’s location from the call she made. I am going to make this very call her undoing.” Dante said with a growl.

I did not doubt his words. His aura was making me apprehensive and his displeasure was not even directed at me.

“That’s good.” I said.

“Dante, I want to send a letter to the omega warriors. Are there any packs situated in Zera city?” I questioned.

Dante nodded.

“You want to send a letter through them.” He commented.

“Yes. The moon goddess left a way to send letters to the omega warriors’ camp in each pack. I want to use that avenue to call for help. The war is already on the verge of breaking out.” I explained and he hummed in agreement.

I stood up.

“Take me to the pack.” I said to Dante and he rose to his feet too.

I turned to Mrs Barrington, “Mother, I will be back soon. Keep yourself safe. I don’t know if those intruders are going to come back.”

Mrs Barrington tried to smile, “Go where you want to go. There is nothing they need here so they won’t come back. Don’t let thoughts of me distract you.”

“Mother, don’t say that.” My voice was disapproving, “Have you forgotten about Rodney, Nina and the rest of their family. They are involved in this. We don’t know if they would try to fish in troubled waters. You have to be careful. There is no harm in being extra cautious.”

My eyes chilled as I thought of Rodney and his wretched family.

If I was not really busy right now, I would head to their place first. I wanted to show them the results of being shameless.

I curbed my anger.

I had to contact the omega warriors first. Dealing with our pesky accomplices would come later.

Regardless of the time we chose to deal with them, the retribution of Rodney and his family would eventually come. They can not avoid it.

“Okay. I will be very careful.” Mrs Barrington promised and my mind finally calmed down.

I did not want to be worrying about everything on my plate while thinking of her safety too.

It would be too much to bear.

Dante was already waiting outside.

I hurried to the car he was standing beside.

He opened the door to the shotgun seat before he sat in the driver’s seat.

“Are you ready?” He asked.

“Yes.” I answered before I could register why he was asking.

I sat up so could ask why he wanted me to be ready but I was destined to not ask my question.

The answer was already waiting for me.

The car zoomed out of the driveway and into the road before I could prepare.

I was pasted to my seat because of the speed.

Oh boy.
