The Lycan King’s Rejected Soulmate

Chapter 49

Avery

The battle between us and the mutated warriors continued strongly.

Casualties fell on both sides.

I began panicking.

I can not let this stalemate continue.

I had to do something.

The more we delay here, the more precarious the situation at the omega warriors camp.

I feigned an opening for Damien to exploit.

He lunged at me immediately.

He was too impatient but his mess up was for my good so I did not complain.

I heaved a sigh of relief.

He had taken the bait.

Since he fell into my trap, I was not going to let him go. I would nor give him a chance to get his bearings back.

His claws slashed at my chest and blood bloomed from the wound. The millisecond after Damien struck was my window of opportunity. He would be very relaxed then as he would be preparing to deliver another blow.

I started raining swipes and slashes at him.

I did not spend any efforts on defence.

I only made attacks.

“You are crazy.” Damien sputtered as he took numerous steps backward.

I did not mind his words.

To win this battle, I have to be crazy.

There was no other way to break the stalemate.

It was either this or waiting for these mutated werewolves to drain our

power.

The empowering runes the moon goddess bestowed upon us can not last

forever.

I continued to attack him in a mad frenzy.

Numerous wounds began appearing on his body too.

This time, I had cornered him.

I was not exchanging injury with him anymore. He was the only one getting injured.

A werewolf’s body had the advantage of accelerated healing.

Besides, the evil god Damien switched to had changed their physique somewhat.

I don’t know where this modification enhanced so I did not give Damien time to breath.

I had to decided the outcome of the battle quickly.

The rate Damien was getting injured couldn’t keep up with his body. healing. His body turned into a bloody mess but I did not stop.

Slash!

My last swipe broke his throat and Damien collapsed into a heap. From the corner of my eyes, I could see that some mutated werewolves that was fighting the omega warriors try desperately to reach my side.

I wrapped my hands around Damien’s throat.

“Please, spare me. I will convert back to serving the moon goddess. Spare me!” Damien seemed to see death approach. His words was rushed.

It was like he was afraid that if he was not fast enough, I would wring his head off.

I looked down at him.

His plea did not affect my decision to kill him.

Damien and all his groups of mutated werewolves are a threat.

He talked about trying to switch back to serving the moon goddess.

It was impossible.

Did he think both the moon goddess and I are fools?

Someone that had been seduced away by power and benefits said he wants to go back to his original life. His words lacked credibility.

Who would accept a soldier that defected to the enemy’s camp? How would we know if his mind won’t change again in the middle of an

important war?

Nobody would be able to use that kind of soldier again.

Even without these doubts, I would not dare to believe his words.

From our exchange so far, I can see that Damien is a cunning person. If I decided to release him now, there is every certainty that he would turn around to stab me in the back.

The situation would truly turn hopeless then.

If I release him and he goes back on his word, my predicament would be tragic.

He would not fall for the trick I played a second time.

“Okay.” I agreed and I relaxed my arms.

Damien’s eyes flashed with a dark light.

Before he could realize the dark plan he created, my claws disconnected his head from his neck.

I could see the confused expression in his red eyes.

He did not know that his reaction was within my calculation.

I knew that there was a possibility that Damien would be an ungrateful wolf.

“Do you think I would let a ticking time bomb go?” I said to his corpse. He died with his eyes open.

I knew he could not hear me but I still said my words anyway.

After Damien died, I dashed back into the battlefield to help my comrades.

I was stronger than the remaining mutated werewolves present so I did not spend much time on them before killing them.

It was only Damien that took much time to take care of and it was

because his strength was on par with mine.

I had to thank the moon goddess and the omega warriors for my combat experience.

I was not like the newbie of the past.

I had grown stronger.

If I was the Avery of the past, I would have died under Damien’s claws.

We finished off the rest of the mutated werewolves.

I took the red crystal from Damien’s corpse.

“Those that are uninjured or with light injuries, hold unto our sisters that had fallen.” I said. Sorrow clouded my voice.

I held onto two corpses that came from the fallen omega warriors before activating my crystal.

White mist emerged from the crystal before enveloping me and the other warriors by my side.

The scene before me changed into the entrance of the omega warriors. camp.

A battle was going on here but unlike the battle we left, this fight seemed to be nowhere near completion.

The dead bodies of fallen omega warriors was strewn across the battlefield.

There was other corpses that belonged to the mutated werewolves. Alas, those bodies was in the minority.

My heart sank.

I knew there would be heavy casualties because the invasion of the mutated werewolves was unexpected. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Although Yuri had been sent back home to inform them of the precarious situation, the mutated werewolves had followed right after.

There had been little space in between.

That space was not enough for the omega warriors in the camp to make adequate preparations.

At most, they would have been able to put up an half baked struggle.

The only reason they lasted this long was becsuse of the preparations the moon goddess had laid down previously.

My eyes turned red.

I dropped the bodies I held in my arms before I rushed into the battlefield.

The anger and sadness I was feeling showed in my attacks.

I did not give the mutated werewolves time to react.

The other warriors that came with me joined me as well.

Soon, all the mutated werewolves became corpses under our feet.

I was not appeased by their death.

I looked at the ruin before me.

Many houses was destroyed and the sight of the dead omega warriors stung my eyes.

Mia walked out of the camp to meet us.

She held the triplets in her arms.

A gash went from her neck to her waist.

The slash seemed to almost rent her to pieces.

I felt my neck and waist ache dully.

Yuri came forward to meet Mia.

Yuri saw my unsightly expression.

“Avery, don’t be sad. You have done all you could. Besides, sending me to give the other omega warriors a heads up was due to you.” Yuri consoled.

I knew she did not mean it in a bad way but her words pricked me.

Yes, I was the one that told her to leave the the encirclement Damien and his goons created.

At that moment, I felt like we had no other option so I chose to send Yuri back to the camp as an informant.

I could not help but think of the possibility of me not making that decision.

I would have still asked for the moon goddess‘ help and we would have defeated the mutated werewolves.

The mutated werewolves would not have been able to get the location of the omega warriors‘ camp then.

All these dead omegas would not have lost their lives.

I had been too hasty.

I did not think things through before I acted.

It was all my fault.

My gaze drifted to Mia.

She had kept her word.

She protected my pups at the cost of her life.

Seeing her like this, I felt like I was a sinner.

“It is all my fault.” I whispered.

Yuri tilted her head, “What are you saying?”

“It is all my fault.” I repeated with a sull expression, “If I had not instructed you to come back here, the location of the camp wouldn’t have been leaked to the mutated werewolves.”

Mia’s facial expression turned stern.

It was the telltale sign of a scolding in the making.

“Avery, don’t blame yourself. You did what I would have done in that situation.” Yuri argued as her cold face cracked to reveal intense.

helplessness.

“You guys don’t understand.” I felt like my brain was not my own. I felt as if I was in a pit with no sign of light.

All that remained was darkness and more darkness.

“You don’t understand anything.” I said again, “I am a harbinger of disaster. I had forgotten that I am an unlucky star so I felt at ease with. living with you.”

“What are you talking about?” Mia asked with a frown..

I felt like all the eyes of the dead omegas warriors are on me.

I had forgotten about one important fact. Because I was the chosen one, Daemon would try all his best to destroy me and my happiness.

I had forgotten about my rejection.

I was carried away with the happiness the omega warriors brought me.

I had grown too lax.

My mental state was shaking.

I killed my mother with my luck and now, I had moved unto these omega warriors.

Although the moon goddess had explained to me about the ins and outs of my fate, my emotions refused to listen.

My emotions refused to be stabilized.

Why can’t I enjoy my happiness in peace?

Why must something bad happen to me and my loved ones?

My hatred for Daemon was peaking.

He was the cause of all this.

He did not want me to be of help to the moon goddess.

He is severely mistaken though.

His actions are having the opposite effects.

I would help the moon goddess with all my might.

I made a vow at this moment.

If I see anybody affiliated with Daemon or his powers, I would try all my possible best to eliminate that person.

Although I can not go against Daemon because he was a god, I was more than capable to deal with his minions.

A slap jolted me out of my thoughts.

It wasn’t a heavy slap but it did the job of bringing me back to reality. “Get yourself together Avery! What nonsense are you spouting? You did nothing wrong so stop debasing yourself.” Mia said with a scowl on her beautiful face.

I began to calm down a little.

I scanned the faces that were staring at me in concern.

The fact that they did not blame me made my sin darker.

I would prefer it if they spoke to me roughly but they did not do that.

No anger was seen.

They were supportive of me.

They did not care that the results before us was because of my decision.

I made up my mind.

I was going to leave the omega warriors‘ camp.
