The Lycan King’s Rejected Soulmate

Chapter 74

Chapter 74 Avery After that episode with Sadie, I chucked her matter out of my mind. Out of sight, out of mind. Mrs Barrington was right. I was not the kind of person that wallows in nonsenese like this. Since Sadie came to ask of forgiveness, I have forgiven her but it would be a pipe dream if she wanted something else. Dante had called me a few days ago that he was going to arrive at Zera city. I asked him to push his arrival to today so he can take us back to Lycan city. I was finally ready. I was finally ready to face the city of lycan city he leads. I was ready to announce our relationship to the world. I was prepared to face everything that is thrown to us. I was prepared to face his mother. Obtaining Dante might prove to be a hard task but I was in for it. I wanted Dante and nothing in this world can stop me. Besides, the moon goddess had acknowledged our union. What else do I need? The opinions of others don’t matter. I just have to fight for what I want with my own hands. One of the reason I delayed my visit to the Lycan City is because of my identity. Previously, I was just a person that came to Zera city with nothing to her name. After that, the Barringtons adopted me but still, I have no assets of my own. Now, I have a business that was taking steady steps into the limelight and it was ushering its golden age. I felt confident enough to stand by Dante’s side now. I know he did not mind my status and identity but others are not him. Others would mind. Other people would want to nitpick things about me just because I was the one that snagged the man

of their dreams. I had to be ready to face any action the people that stood against me would want to take.

Besides, I was tired of hiding my relationship with Dante and I am sure he doesn’t want that too. I packed my bags and the luggage for my kids too. My adoptive mother wanted me to stay but I refused. This was something I have to do. Maybe it is my possessiveness talking but I don’t want to see Dante intermingling with other women or girls. The eyes Madam Romanov used to stare at me was creepy. They were the type of ́eyes that hid plans. I can not guarantee that she won’t stage something. She knew that no matter how angry Dante was, he knew he was her son. He always considers that little bit of maternal love between them. She had a filial son and she is knows it. She wanted to use this trait to manipulate him and control him. I don’t know what Madam Romanov have in store for me but I was not afraid. Soon, a luxurious vehicle pulled in front of the mansion. I breathed deeply. It seemed like my moment to shine had come. I wanted to show the world that I was not a gold-digger. I wanted them to know that to know that my love with Dante was not based on money or my beautiful looks. I want the public to be rendered speechless by my works. Dante came out of the luxury vehicle middle seat. A smile was on his lips. The smile softened his ruthless features and it gave him an amiable look. “Are you ready to visit Lycan City?” He asked. I smiled before holding his hands. I don’t know how many times he had asked me this question.

“Are we going there by car? Isn’t Zera city very far from your place?” I asked curiously as I observed the interior of the car. Dante led me and my pups into the passenger seats before joining us. Unlike our date, he did not drive personally. He shook his head, “We are going to use a private jet.” Dante did not want me to go to the Lycan city but it is not something I can avoid forever. I was not scared of anybody. If I refuse to go, I don’t know how many allegations Madam Romanov would pin to my name. Besides, Dante can not protect me forever. I want to show those people that were supporting Madam Romanov and the others that might not accept me something. I wanted to show them that even without Dante, I was not a mere kitten. I was a tiger with sharpened claws. I wanted the public to know that without Dante, I was not some helpless maiden looking for her knight in shining armor to save her. I know Dante was strong but I don’t want to depend in him heavily. What if he was not to around in my time of need? Nobody can predict the future and a situation can change in the blink of an eye. If I am always waiting for my mate to save me every time, I was destined to be the bones beneath others’ feet. If I was like that, people that don’t like me would be able to grasp onto that weakness quickly. I handed two of the pups to Dante. “I forgot to ask. Why did you ask me to buy time for you during the fashion show that was held here in the past?” His intense eyes caused a suspicious red cloud to cover my cheeks. His eyes carry the care he held for me. After the show, we had been in constant communication but he had not asked me about it until this very moment.

He was waiting for me to tell him. I had even discarded this minor interlude in my life to a hidden corner. my I did not want to dwell in past hurt and anything regarding Sadie had been reduced to something that is less important for now so I did not get to tell him. “My shoe designs were leaked to my rival. I was due to present my products after rival finishes their own.” I paused, “I discovered that the designs I poured my hard work, blood and sweat into had appeared on stage. The rival of my business was wearing shoes made according to my designs. If I showcased my shoes then, it would be regarded as a cheap knockoff I made to.be famous because of my rival’s popularity. I would be called a plagiarizer.” Shimmering anger appeared in his eyes. After a moment, bhis voce rang out. It was cold and chilly. I felt his rage clearly. I felt the anger of the number one person beneath the moon goddess. I felt the rage of the ruthless Lycan king. “Your best friend had a hand in it.” He said. His words were not a question, his words were a statement. He needed no affirmation from me. He was already sure of his guess. “Yes. She is the one.” I continued, “After you bought precious time for me, I went and dug up my old unfinished designs and revamped them before sending them to my shoe factory’s headquarters for them to make it.” I held his hand to calm his anger. I have always been aware that I was Dante’s breaking point. Anything that concerns me was his top priority. He was truly angered. “Don’t be angry. I have already fixed it. My business is doing well and the public received the shoes I presented well. It was a blessing in disguise. I would have not thought of those discarded designs before.” I laughed. My laughs lightened up the oppressive atmosphere.

“The discarded works became the corner stone.” I said and Dante nodded. He looked as if his anger had been appeased but I was not sure if his anger was truly gone. Only Dante knows the depths of his thoughts.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
