The Lycan King’s Rejected Soulmate

Chapter 58

Dante

I walked towards the hall the Barringtons are holding their daughter’s coming out ceremony.

I might be the lycan king of this generation but even I, have to socialize.

I have a business worth billions and I achieved all this by creating a balance. I would not have been able to create my business conglomerate if I lock myself in the office.

I have to show my face once in a while.

No man is an island.

Werewolves and lycans aren’t animals.

Some of us might live in packs but it won’t change the fact that the era have improved.

Businesses managed by werewolves or lycans improve day by day.

Right now, I did not have any pressing work to do so I wanted to show my face at the banquet.

My gesture can be a sign of respect to those that came.

Immediately I entered the ballroom, every where quieted down.

I did not mind.

This kind of thing was a common occurrence that happens when I go to a place. I have seen a picture of the Barringtons before so I recognized Mrs Barrington. My purpose was just to congratulate her for getting a new daughter and then, I

will leave.

The other people anf their endeavors doesn’t concern me.

A sweet smell wafted towards me and my heart began to thump.

The smell felt like a drug to me.

I was very familiar with this scent.

It had always been my obsession in both my dreams and my waking moments.

The scent seemed to have been engraved in my soul.

I sniffed deeply and the scent came to me in a stronger wave.

I started to scan the ballroom for the source of the scent.

I was not going to let her escape me this time.

I have spent a long time searching for her.

All this time, I knew that she was with the omega warriors. I tried my best to be

near the sites the omega warriors have missions in but it was all to no avail.

I can not track down every place the omega have missions in. Their missions are elusive because the moon goddess made it that way.

The places I managed to crack down on only have other omega warriors in charge of the mission.

My mate was nowhere to be found.

I don’t know if it is the nature of her missions or the fact was that she did not

want to see me.

I did not encounter her again.

The last mission I almost met her was when an alpha was cooperating with rogues. to kidnap his clansmen.

She had left before I could keep up with her.

I came to Zera city to settle an issue in the branch of my company that was here.

Normally, my right hand man would have made the trip but I wanted to do the honors myself this time.

Zera city might not be a first rate city but it was a flourishing place.

My company had been doing well here and I wanted to check its recent activities. A coincidence happened.

I did not expect to find my mate here of all places.

If I did not come this time, I don’t know when I would vi

this place again.

I would not come here normally. If must for this issue that brought me here, I would have missed her.

Thankfully, that scenario didn’t happen or I would have been completely heartbroken.

I did not want to miss what I have been searching for because of a minute. thought.

I thank the moon goddess for her help.

I feel like the moon goddess wanted me to reunite with my mate as soon as possible.

I don’t know if my guess is true or not, what I know is that I would pursue my mate with all my might.

I do not know what my mate had been through.

I was not blind.

Normal werewolves would be in glee and pleasure if they find their mate.

Nobody would want to escape the mate bond.

There had to be a story behind it and I was willing to unravel that story.

I don’t want my mate to be apprehensive of being with me.

My eyes finally locked unto her.

She was very beautiful.

She had shiny black hair and glittering green eyes that showed her intelligence.

Her white gown complemented her figure.

I did not need any introduction.

Instantly, I knew she was the one.

I felt the beast hidden with me react violently. It was like a caged beast wanted to escape from its bounds.

Her eyes showed shock.

I tried my best to smile. I did not want to seem predatory but it was not working.

I walked to her side.

“Finally, we meet each other.” I said when I reached her side.

She blushed.

She looked away for a second before she regained her bearings. She turned to me again.

I could not help myself. To me, evey move she made was filled with charm.

I could sense that majority of the male population present in this banquet was staring at her.

This caused my possessiveness to stir.

I wanted to hide her away immediately.

Still, I curbed my urge.

She was not the kind of person I would do that kind of thing on.

Besides, she looked like she is not to be trifled with.

She was an omega warrior. That was enough to prove her

prowess.

“Hello, I am Dante Romanos.“, I stretched out my hand as I made my introduction.

She stretched out her hand too and she shook my hand.

“I am Avery Normans Barrington. Nice to meet you.” She said her own introductions too.

It seemed like the adoptive daughter the Barringtons got was my mate.

As she stretched her hand, I noticed something was amiss..

This was a mistake on my part.

A dignified lycan king of a generation made an oversight.

I looked at her carefully.

She was holding two bundles. I could sense life force from this bundles so they

had to be living beings. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Two cute faces looked back at me as I stared at them.

Instinctively, I knew that these pups were her kids.

There small faces bore a resemblance to her beautiful visage.

I stared at the one on the left. The boy had purple eyes that were similar to mine.

Then I had an epiphany.

I was starting to feel upset that my mate began a family while I was waiting patiently for her.

I had almost wanted to ask her if our night together meant nothing to her.

Thankfully, I noticed the boy’s purple eyes in time.

I observed the second boy that she held.

The boy bore some resemblance to me.

I was overjoyed.

After I calculated it, this pups are not more than two to three weeks old.

Adding on the duration of a werewolf’s pregnancy, there is a higher chance that the pups are mine.

The gaze I was using to look at her softened again.

She had done a good job.

I did not want to imagine the ostracism she would have gone through.

Although we are already in an advanced era, some people are still foolish.

They would still try to ostracize people that they think is weaker than them.

I am sure people had talked about her because she was a single mother.

I wanted to tear anybody that speak ill of her into pieces but I endured.

I did not want to scare her too much.

I will begin doing that after our relationship had advanced into a pretty good level.

Love wrapped around my heart as I thought of her and the kids. I wanted to bring them home immediately but I could not.

I knew there was still a valley between us.

It is better to improve our relationship first.

“Are this your pups?” I asked.

I knew the answer but hearing it from her would be different.

“Yes.” She replied.

I wanted to hold her hand but I was afraid it would make me seem like a brute so I discarded the thought.

“Why are you running away from me?” I asked.

I knew that we are not close now but I wanted to ask this question.

I don’t know if she had a bad experience with the mate bond.

Still, I won’t be able to know anything if she did not tell me.

“That is my personal business.” She said.

I knew she was affected by the mate bond but she was still resisting it a little.

It was her self protection mechanism.

I did not blame her for doing this but I felt hurt.

Still, I was not about to give up.

She and my kids are my lifeline.

I was not going to let her go.

I was going to shower her with love and affection until she warms up to the thought of being together with me.

It might take a long while or it might take a little while. The time duration does. not matter, all I know is that I was willing to wait for her to thaw.

“Give me a chance to court you.” I said earnestly..

She stared at me for a long while.

A strange nervousness was emanating from her body.

She continued looking at me.

The day we encountered each other for the first time, she was under the control of alcohol and her wolf.

The way she was looking at me now made me know that she did not remember that I was the one she spent a passionate might with.

Still, that was fine. I was going to make her remember later.

The first thing on my list is to make her fall in love with me.

Besides, I wanted to be involved in my pups‘ lives too.

From the distance, Mrs Barrington was approaching us.

If she comes, we would not be able to have a private conversation.

We were able to talk to our heart’s content because the place Avery stayed was a quiet and remote area.

She had stayed away from the bustle.

“I will give you a chance to win me over. My decision of accepting this mate bond. would depend on your performance.” Avery said before she met up with Mrs Barrington halfway,

I was happy she gave me a chance. I was going to cherish this opportunity.

I was going to make her realize that being destined mates was not so bad after all. She had a mental wall around herself.

I wanted to go past that wall and see her for who she is.

I wanted to erase her bad memory with the memories of my affection..

Most people accepts their mate bonds. Although there are still numerous records. of partners rejecting the mate bond, it was not mainstream.

I did not have experience with courting a lady.

I have to consult my human subordinates and the internet for clues on how to win her over.

In this courting department, I was as clueless as a newborn baby.

Before I met her, love was not on my agenda at all.

She was a breath of fresh air.

She brought out all these new changes in me.

Since she made me improve, I was willing to see her change too.

I don’t want her to remain in a shadow of the hurt she had been dealt with in the

past.

I was going to conquer her with the expressions of my love.

I would make her fall in love with me and our mate bond.

Losing never crossed my mind.

I either have to succeed or die trying.

If I can not even do this basic task, I am not considered a worthy match to her.

I went up to Mrs Barrington and congratulated her.

My business here was finished so I took my leave.

A mortal’s jealousy can be unpredictable.

I had talked with Avery for a little while, I did not want her to be targeted by other people because of me so I left promptly after taking one last look at her.

I did not want her to be subject to rumors.

I want her to have the public’s admiration instead.
