The Lycan King’s Rejected Soulmate

Chapter 87

Avery

We soon arrived at Red Moon Pack. It was the pack that was the closest to my home.

Dante did not want us to make a long trip. The situation was urgent and there was no time to waste.

Before getting out of the car, I calmed myself down. I must not be hasty. I don’t want overlook something or destroy any leads I would get by my hastiness.

We entered the pack.

“Lycan King, welcome. We have already prepared the plain letter.” A man came to welcome us.

He was deferential but I knew he was the Alpha of this pack by the authority oozing from his body.

I had no time to chat with him.

We followed him to the place we would write the letter. Before we arrived, Dante had informed the alpha about our needs.

After we got to the alpha’s office, he presented a plain paper to us.

I got to work.

I began to write about the situation. The letter did not have enough space for me to go into depth so I just mentioned the key points.

I signed my name at the end before folding the letter into two.

“Please, help me send it to the omega warriors’ camp,” I said as I handed the letter to the alpha.

He bowed a little before he took his leave.

Some packs get defensive about showing the way they send their letters to the omega warriors’ camp so I did not make it difficult for the alpha by requesting to see him send the letter.

I did not really trust the alpha but I knew the presence of Dante made everything easier.

He would not dare to play any tricks because of the fear of the Lycan king.

We began to wait.

A phone rang.

I thought it was my phone before I remembered that my ringtone did not sound like what was sounding out.

The phone was for Dante.

He picked the call, “Hello. Are there results?”

The room was quiet so I was able to hear the other person at the end of the line speak.

“Yes and no.” The male voice at the other end spoke.

“What do you mean?” Dante questioned.

“The person who made that particular call did it from a public telephone booth. We traced the telephone booth and we discovered that it was located at the borders of this country. She should have gone past Los Angeles by now.” The male voice explained.

I felt a surge of happiness. There was finally a lead. It might not be that satisfactory but it was still a lead nonetheless.

“Would you be able to get any other information?” Dante questioned after letting the man report his findings.

“No sir.” The man replied.

“Okay. Go get yourself a reward, You have done enough.” Dante said before ending the call.

He faced me but then, he saw that I was already looking at him with shiny eyes.

“Sadie is cu nning. She might have suspected that we would track her call so she used a public phone.” Dante explained.

I nodded, “I heard your conversation. She had reached Los Angeles. She is fast.”

“Yes. She made sure she took the call from a faraway place so that we would not be able to find her quickly. She is smart.” Dante’s expression was grave.

This lead was almost useless. Sadie would have left Los Angeles quickly after she ended the call.

My eyes turned into a darker color, “Sadie had always been smart. I did not know that she would use her intelligence against me one day.”

Dante patted my shoulders in consolation.

“We just have to prepare for war. The location they are going to won’t be too far. I think Daemon wants me to pursue them.” I said after I remembered that Daemon had given those mutated werewolves I fought on the mission with a trap a red teleportation crystal.

He might have given Sadie and Fredo a red teleportation crystal too.

There was nothing he would not do to bring me down.

If I did not beat his minions until they were black and blue, I would be disappointing his expectations in me.

I rested my head on my hands in thought.

A hand poked my cheek.

“What?” I asked softly.

“Don’t think too much. We are going to get through this.” Dante said as he patted my shoulders.

“I know.” I said to dissuade him from thinking that I was a pitiful animal.

My eyes began to close. All my efforts to keep them open ended in futility.

“Rest your head on my shoulder.” Dante did not wait for me to make a move before he tilted my head to rest on his shoulder.

“Thank you.” I said in appreciation before I succumbed to the embrace of sleep. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

When my consciousness came to, I found myself in a white space. There was no walls and there was no other colors except

white.

The place felt familiar and then it came to me. This was the white space I met the moon goddess when Nara tried to sacrifice me to a statue of the moon goddess.

A figure phased into being.

It was the moon goddess.

A smile was on her face and her aura was calming.

All the worries I brought into this dream space began to fade away. I felt like hugging her but I shook the urge away.

“You can hug me if you want.” The moon goddess said with a smile.

I wanted to politely refuse but my urge for a hug won over.

I walked to her and hugged her tightly. I discreetly tried to inhale her blooming scent.

My body felt lighter and more versatile as I hugged her.

After we separated from each other, the moon goddess waved her hand. Two chairs and a table came into being.

“Sit down.” The moon goddess instructed as she took her seat.

I sat down and faced her.

“I want to apologize for something first.” I began.

She waved her hand, “If you are worrying about the fact that you told Dante and your adoptive mother about the omega warriors or Daemon and the war, it’s nothing. You don’t need to lose your calm over that..It is as you say, I need a warrior instead of a baby.”

I blushed in embarrassment. She heard when I said that.

The moon goddess notices everything.

I liked the fact that I don’t have to explain at length before she gets what I was getting at.

Some things can’t be fully explained with just words.

“The war is coming and I need your input.” I said finally.

The moon goddess conjured cups and a bigger jug. She poured the contents of the jug into the two cups.

I did not let her invite me this time. When I saw the moon goddess lift her cup to her lips, I did the same.

“I know.” She replied, “That is why I brought you here.”

“Sadie and Fredo had gone far. We don’t know the exact place they are heading to. I have a suspicion that wherever they are going would turn out to be the battlefield.” I said my observation out loud.

“Yes. That is one of the reasons I brought you here. I don’t want you to make a grave mistake later.” Her expression turned into a frown, “Daemon is more cu nning than you give him credit for. He is luring you to the location he chose.”

“I know. His trap was as obvious as daylight. He wanted me to come.” I said.

I knew Daemon’s move was fishy.

Fredo’s call and Sadie’s taunts. They pointed to his goad.

He wanted me to get angry enough to make rash decisions. He wants me to chase him blindly and that is not going to happen.

I was cautious in everything that concerns him. He was a g od.

I had to be very careful so I would not fall into his trap.

I had already fallen into a trap his minions concocted once. It was not going to happen again.

“That attitude is good.” The moon goddess smiled before the smile faded the next second, “His final destination is a forest in Mexico. He is going to the Mangroves of Dzinitun.”

“I need to prepare the omega warriors and the troops we are going to use. Every werewolf on earth has to heed this call for battle.” The thoughts of defeating Daemon made a smile curve my lips as I spoke.

“Yes. I have said this before. I will take care of Daemon, he would not be able to do anything to harm you. Just focused on eradicating his minions. I would show those who dared to go against me what I am made of.” As the words flowed from her lips, her face changed.

It became more stern and authoritative.

I almost diverted my eyes. I felt like laying on the floor in worship.

Then I remembered that regardless of her amiable actions towards me, this being before me was still a goddess.

She could destroy me with a sneeze.

The first time I came to the white space, I told her my dissatisfaction about her behavior clearly without too much fear.

I am still wondering where my past self got the courage to speak my mind.

Her face went back to the amiable one she had always showed to me.

“Don’t be scared to say what is on your mind. I would not do anything to you.” She said when she realized the burst of fear I felt.

Her words calmed me down but the moment her majesty showed was something I would not forget.

That moment was already branded into my mind.

The moon goddess stood up.

“During the coming war, I would be with you. If I need to tell you anything, I will bring you here.” The moon goddess said.

I did not have a chance to nod to her statement before everything began to fade and I lost consciousness.

I opened my eyes to see Dante staring at me in concern.

“What is wrong?” I asked him as I stretched.

“I tried to wake you up but you remained in a sleeping state. People from the omega warriors are here.” Dante informed me.

His information made me jerk up.

“Where are they?” I asked hurriedly.

However, Dante was not the one that replied me.

“Hello Avery.” A familiar voice sounded.

I looked towards the entrance to the room.

Mia, Yuri and Jaila stood there with a smile on their faces.
