The Lycan King’s Rejected Soulmate by Fire Sprout

Chapter 9

Avery

The next day, I made sure I behaved as normally as I could. I did all my chores and I even helped out

with setting up the upcoming party.

I would have loved to join the party to see how it would go but sadly, I had more important things to do.

I do not know how those parties are held because I have never attended those kinds of events.

Nobody would invite the pack’s runt to their gathering. I was shunned totally.

Looking back now, my status in this pack was really low. I was like a housemaid.

I did the work but I received no reward for my efforts. Instead, I was the target of insults and gossips.

Now, alpha Bryan wants me to be a tool to facilitate his political alliances when he discovered another

use for me.

I don’t feel any longing for this place at all. It was the epitome of bad memories for me.

My good memories pertained to my wolf, Silver and my friend, Sadie. Everything else was part of a

traumatic memory.

I crosschecked my luggage before howling to the night sky. A faint howl from Sadie replied me.

Before leaving, I would meet with Sadie so I can see if she had obtained the wolfsbane I requested

from her.

I still hadn’t forgotten about what the mate bond did to me. It was better to block my ability to sense

mates and focus on my pups.

I felt a burst of motherly love sprout in my heart at the thoughts of my kids. I couldn’t wait to see my

pups.

The party started in full swing.

When I saw that everybody was in a partying mood, I held my luggage in my jaws after I morphed into

my wolf.

I began my escape.

If the guards and sentries were not really focusing on monitoring me, I was confident that I could make

it past them successfully.

As I began my sprint. I could see a group of people hurrying to my shack. Alpha Bryan, alpha Jake and

Lily was at the forefromt of the group of

people.

The glimpse I had of alpha Bryan’s and alpha Jake’s faces assured me of their mounting fury.

I picked up my pace. I can’t allow myself to fall back into alpha Bryan’s clutches. If I am caught this

time, I would never have a chance to escape again.

Alpha Bryan would imprison me if I am caught and my pups would be aborted.

I weaved through all checkpoints to arrive at the shack I and Sadie built. I knew the area the Silver

Crescent pack occupied because of the days I sneak out to meet Sadie and those times I do chores

around the pack.

When I got to the shack, I saw that Sadie was already sitting on the threshold that led to the interior of

the shack.

I shifted back into my human form.

I noticed Sadie’s eyes were red and puffy. It was obvious she had cried and for it to remain as red as it

was, she would have been crying for hours.

“Sadie, what happened?” I asked as I sat down beside her.

I tried to keep down the nervousness and vigilance strumming through me. I was in a hurry because

my pack had already noticed my absence and they will be here soon. Still, I tried to be a good friend

first.

Sadie shook her head, “It’s nothing. I agreed to date that alpha who had been wooing me only to

discover I wasn’t legitimate. I was the other person in their relationship. He had another girlfriend that

everybody recognized.”

Her words made me remember the hideous offer alpha Jake had offered to me previously.

It was basically the same thing.

We are beautiful but for some reason, everybody just thought the only position fit for us was being a

concubine or a mistress.

Anger and sympathy rose within me.

I patted her shoulder softly in consolation.

“Sadie, don’t worry about him. It is the same thing you advised me with, I

will say to you. Don’t mind that alpha. He doesn’t know what he is missing.” I consoled and she finally

smiled.

She brought out a package from the pocket of her trouser. She passed it

to me.

“Thankfully, before we fell out he had given me the little bit of wolfsbane he got.” Sadie turned to face

me, “Are you sure about this?”

I nodded.

“Guard me.” I said before I opened the package and then, I put a small portion in my mouth.

As soon as I swallowed, a bone crushing pain followed. Itchiness and a tearing feeling accompanied

the substance to my stomach. It felt like somebody was grounding my bones to powder and after the

person was done, the person healed me up to do the same process again.

I should have taken the wolfsbane when I was in a safe place but I wanted to take it now.

I don’t know if alpha Jake could feel the remnants of the mate bond so I didn’t want to let that risk be

out of my calculations.

I don’t want alpha Jake to track my position with the broken remains of the mate bond he and I shared.

In between the soul numbing agony, my sensitive ears picked up the sound of howls and paws hitting

the floor.

The pain flowing through my body calmed and I could feel that the faint connection between me and

the mate bond I shared with alpha Jake is blurred.

“Where are you going?” Sadie asked as she stared at the bag with me.

It was like she was just noticing my luggage and dressing.

“After alpha Jake rejected me and got Lily as his mate, he proposed to have me as a concubine to my

pack’s alpha.” I said hurriedly as I righted my posture that had become unsavory from the intense pain.
