Chapter 62
Avery
I quickly changed into the clothes I chose before heading back to the parlor.
Dante was sitting in a chair. Refreshments was in front of him but the refreshments was untouched.
I wanted to sneak behind Dante to tap him but I knew it would not work. Dante was an overlord among lycans. His senses were
at the peak. Even the slightest noise would put him in an alert state.
I was not confident that I will not give anything away as I approached.
I was right.
Immediately I entered the parlor, he turned to me.
Dante stood up.
“Let’s go.” I nodded before following him out of the mansion.
Dante brought a car.
I was a little shocked. Then I remembered that this is not a place that only werewolves lived.
Everything could not be solved with a run in the wolf form.
We had to use the transportation modes the modern era invented.
His car was a sprawling Lamborghini that showed off his wealth.
If it was before Mrs Barrington gave me a phone, I would not have known how expensive his car is.
I would not have known about the car type too.
I slid into the passenger seat and Dante sat in the driver’s seat.
I raised my brow, “Don’t tell me you don’t have a driver.”

I would not believe that even if I was beaten to death.
Obviously, the wealth the lycan accumulated would be more than the riches the Barringtons had.
The Barringtons had a driver so it was highly unlikely that Dante did not have
one.
He turned his head to look at me before facing the road.
“I wanted to spend enough time with you. I did not want any third parties to interfere.” He explained and I smiled.
I could not stop my smile from appearing.
His words and actions are already winning me over.
We soon reached our destination.
It was an high ended restaurant.
We were not served by ordinary waiters. The manager came to receive us personally.
It seemed the manager knew of Dante’s status.
We were taken to a private room.
The room was decorated lavishly. The dominant colors used were red and a hint of black.
It screamed seduction.
Dante helped me draw my chair.
I sat down and looked at him.
“I seem to have seen this kind of room online.” I said but he did not look away from me.
He was not even ashamed of being caught. Instead, he looked proud.
I have seen pictures of this specific decoration.

Some romance websites always recommend it to take your spouse to. They bragged that anybody that did that would have a
romance life that was set for life.
Dante really did his research.
I was just speechless that he followed the arrangements to a tee.
Still, I was happy because his arrangements showed me that this was his first time. of doing something like this.
I am joyous to be his first and his last.
The waiters brought dish after dish to the table.

Although the dishes are not numerous, their exquisiteness showed.
A bottle of red wine was included. The waiters poured wine into our cups.
Dante cleared his throat, “Avery, I really want this to work.”
“I do too.” I replied.
“I should make the introductions first. My name is Dante Romanos and I am the lycan king of this generation.” Dante paused, “I
have only a mother remaining as my only relative and I have billions in terms of assets.”
My eyes lit up when I heard his introduction.
I appreciated his action too..
He did not let any awkward silence lingered.
I am sure he is aware that I knew his background. Still, he introduced himself to
1. me.
“I am Avery Normans Barrington. I am an omega warrior. My three kids are my
only surviving biological relatives. I have good adoptive parents.” I did my introduction too.
I was at ease with mentioning my children because I knew he was not adverse to them.

Dante had my respect.
If I interpreted the emotions he used to look at my pups when we were in the banquet well, it was obvious he loved them like
they were his own kids.
This is rare.
Most people did not want to be stepmothers, stepfathers, stepbrothers or stepsisters of another person.
It is not easy to treat someone not biologically related to you very well. Subconsciously, the people that are related by biology
would have the greatest chance of getting enough benefits.
It is how it had been since ages past.
I am not confident enough to treat someone not biologically related to me as I treat my kids.
It is not like I was trying to be bad but it is the truth.
Not everyone is like Mrs Barrington or Dante.
Still, there are some people out there that would not even treat their biological children or relatives well. Those people are
animals if they did not have a sufficient reason for their action.
At least, I know that I would not deliberately treat someone badly without a reason that is good enough to justify my action.
“Avery, why did you run away from me? I feel like you have a bad experience with mate bonds.” Dante asked.
I had expected him to ask this question. It was inevitable.
He was not dumb. He must have noticed that I seemed to be avoiding him previously.
Even at the banquet, I knew I appeared to be a little cold.
Since we are trying to know each other better, honesty was the key.
It could not be avoided.
I looked at him.

“I used to live in a pack called the Silver Crescent Pack. They can be considered a medium pack because they are not big but
they are not small in size either.” A nostalgic emotion crossed my eyes but I did not stop my story.
I can not let Dante go into a relationship without having the basic right that should have been given to him.
His life history was not hidden. It is all over the internet and it was accessable to
me anytime.
Although I would still like it if he told me more personal experience himself, it was clear that he was at a disadvantage..
I knew many information about him but he is in the dark about my past.
+
“I passed the mature age and I waited patiently for my mate to arrive. I had illusions about true love then.” I darted a look at
Dante.
He was listemeing intently.
It was as if he wanted to carve my every word into the tablet of his heart. “The night of bonding came. I found my mate in that
ceremony. He was an alpha that came to my former pack for something. Under the gaze of the public, he rejected me and
immediately, he got his second chance mate.” I did not really feel anything when I was telling my story.

I had the illusion that this was not my story but the history of someone else.
I did not feel the intense emotions I felt when these things happened.
The only thing that left an indelible mark is the pain of rejection. Other things were still manageable.
That time, I wanted to rip alpha Jake to shreds.
Now, I have calmed down.
If I was a vengeful person, I would have tracked alpha Jake down. Them I would have castrated him.
The thought crossed my mind but I did not do it.
At least, Lily helped me in my escape. I should leave her soulmate alone.

The sure thing is that, sooner or later alpha Jake would show his true colors.
Still, there is a higher chance that his love for his mate would suppress his bad habits.
The moon goddess had said that the mate bond changes people.
Dante was an example so alpha Jake’s situation can still change.
Regardless of whether he changed or not, his situation and endeavors had nothing to do with me.
He is but a shadow in my past.
I continued my tale, “His second chance mate was a girl that had deceived my feelings when she just arrived in my former pack.
That is not all. He even wanted to take me in as a concubine.”
A cracking sound reverberated throughout the room.
I looked at the source.
The glass cup Dante was holding had been crushed into little bits.
“Why did he reject you?” Dante asked me with a furious expression, “You are beautiful and smart. What was he dissatisfied with?
Why would he even think of making you a concubine?”
I shrugged.
Alpha Jake was indeed blind.
I felt disgusted that someone like that almost became my mate.
It was disturbing.
I am both happy and sad about the rejection.
One of the things that made me happy was that aloha Jake did not get to be my lifelong partner.
“He wanted to have my body because of my beautiful face. I hated my face then. I was the runt of the pack. I was basically
shunned in my former pack.” I said softly. I saw that Dante’s face was dark so I wanted to lighten up the mood..

“His decision was what a normal person would do. His second chance mate was beautiful too. He did not want an omega who
was said to have a curse around her.” I joked but Dante’s face darkened even more.
He did not like my joke.
“Say the word and Silver Crescent Pack would disappear from this world.” Dante growled.
I was happy that he wanted to take revenge for me.
Still, I have moved on from my pack.
The karma of the Silver Crescent Pack would come for them sooner or later. I did not want to get involved.
I stretched my hand till it could reach him.
I patted his clenched fist.
“Don’t worry, it is all in the past. Let it go.” I said and he nodded.
I don’t know if it is because I am too vigilant. I feel like I have not dissuaded him. at all.
Well, I did my part. I would not stop him again.
Dante may be the karma of the Silver Crescent Pack.
“I met up with my friend so I can drown my sorrows away. She is also shunned by her pack even though her father had a high
position. She took me to a town.” My longing for Sadie was revealed in my time, “We went to a club and I met an handsome
man. I can’t remember his face clearly but he is the father of my pups.” Previously, I wanted to leave out the last bit of
information but I stopped myself.
I wanted Dante to know and accept all my merits and demerits.
I did not want to hide anything.
“Wait.” Dante stopped me from continuing my story.
“What happened?” I did not know why he halted my story.

“I want our relationship to be built on the bedrock of trust and honesty. Before you continue, I have something to say too.” Dante
began and I perked my ears up.
What did he want to share?
His purple eyes seemed to lock me in place, “I was the man from that night. I am the father of your pups.”
