The Lycan King’s Rejected Soulmate

Chapter 89

Avery

The next day came sooner than I would expect.

I thought I would be excited or pumped for the war but I was numb.

Previously, I used to pride myself in thinking for the whole werewolf race but now, all I wanted was to see my pups’ smiling faces again.

I missed them terribly.

In my dreams, all I worried about was if they were fine and healthy.

Towards this war, I felt numb and mechanical.

Soon, I and Dante readied ourselves. Last night, we did not go to the Barrington’s

mansion.

I did not want to implicate them. Besides, Mrs Barrington and her husband were halfbloods. Their help in this upcoming war would be very limited.

Only a few halfbloods can transform into a werewolf or something resembling partial transformation.

Mrs Barrington and her husband belonged to the section of halfbloods that can not transform.

The best they could do was logistics.

Still, we really have no need for logistics because I planned to end this war as soon as possible.

War drains lives, resources and time.

I knew the moon goddess might prefer that too. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

I only called the Barringtons to inform them of the war. I did not want them to court death unnecessarily.

“Let’s go.” Dante said.

I held his hand as we walked out of his penthouse.

The omega warriors that came stayed at alpha Clark’s pack so we had to go there first.

Besides, there was something we needed in this war that only the omega warriors can

give.

Within minutes, we arrived at alpha Clark’s pack.

The omega warriors were already waiting outside for us.

“Dante, please tell the alphas that came for the meeting yesterday to meet here. I don’t think I specified the location we would gather yesterday.” I said to Dante and he nodded before he began to make a call.

I walked up to Mia, Yuri and Jaila.

“Mia, we are going to need a lot of teleportation crystals. Can we use it?” I asked and Mia smiled.

She nodded a second later.

I did not let the fact that I was the moon goddess’s ‘chosen one’ get into my head.

Mia was the moon goddess’s spokesperson even before I came to the omega warriors

camp.

She wasn’t someone I can behave rudely to.

Till now, I haven’t really gotten the real reason behind the moon goddess chosing me.

I knew I wasn’t anyone special.

I might even be riddled with bad experiences.

Although the moon goddess had tried to a*suade my worries by telling me my bad experiences meant I would be a great person, I still felt like there was still something missing.

I just don’t know what was missing.

Dante finished with his call and he came to stand beside me,

“Stay with me. I am going to try and contact the moon goddess. I have things to discuss with her.” I informed him before I sat crosslegged.

“You have contacted her before?” He asked with mild shock showing in his eyes.

“Yes.” I smacked my forehead softly, “You remember when I was asleep and not wake me up?”.

you

could

“Yeah.” He replied.

“The moon goddess was talking to me. I might be in that exact state later.” I looked to

the bright sky, “That is if I succeed.”

“Do what you want to do with ease, I will be here.” Dante promised and my body felt like I have taken a lightness serum.

“Thank you.” I said with gratefulness.

Dante gave me a playful knock to my forehead, “Stop saying thank yous. There is no need for something like that between us. A hug or a kiss would do.”

I was thankful Dante was here.

Dante’s presence made me secure. My dark thoughts were kept at bay.

He was a much needed support.

He did not try to usurp any power from me. All he did was care in the little ways he could.

That meant a lot.

I leaned towards him and gave his lips a peck.

After the stolen kiss, I resumed my crosslegged position. I closed my eyes and concentrated on the task of establishing a connection with the moon goddess.

She had always been the one to contact me. The only time I had contacted her actively was when I was at Fredo’s place.

I was in immediate danger when I contacted her so I did not know how this attempt would go.

There was a war on the h orizon but I wasn’t in immediate danger like I was when I sought her help with escaping Fredo’s clutches.

I took a deep breath and I exhaled softly before concentrating.

‘Moon goddess? Moon goddess, I need to speak with you.’

There was no response.

I opened my eyes.

Dante was sitting beside me. He was crosslegged too.

The moment I opened my eyes, he turned to me.

“What happened? You can get through to her?” He asked and I nodded.

A tiny frustration burned my insides.

“I might not be doing something right. I will try again.” I said to Dante before closing my eyes again.

I could not give up regardless of the frustration I felt about not succeeding in contacting her once.

‘Moon goddess, please help. This is really urgent!’ I tried again.

I felt strange and when I opened my eyes, I was in the white space.

I was already sitted on a chair and the moon goddess was opposite me.

She was smiling.

“You are not okay with me ignoring your first call?” She began.

I did not know why I was shocked.

She had always been able to read my mind.

“Yes.” I forced out.

There was no way to deny it now,

“Drink up.” She slid a cup filled with sweet smelling liquid towards me, “I did that for a reason. You were too impatient.”

“I was more impatient the second time around.” I argued.

She raised one finger and I stopped talking, “But you became more careful as well. No one can predict the outcome of this war and I intend to win. I don’t want you acting out whenever things don’t go your way.”

“I am sorry.” I apologized, “I am sorry for feeling entitled to you. You are not or something. You choosing to listen to me is my honor.”

my maid

“Don’t go down the route of belittling yourself. You just have to know when to restrain yourself and when to loosen your bonds.” The moon goddess drank from her cup before she looked at me again, “There is time for everything. Wrong timing can destroy many plans.”

“I have something to ask.” There was still something bothering me and this particular thing was one of the main reasons I contacted her.

“Go ahead.” She prompted.

“Are you not going to read my mind?” I was taken aback.

I thought she would give me my answer outright.

The moon goddess put down her cup and laughed, “It is better you ask the question yourself. Don’t trouble yourself by guessing if I can read your mind or not.”

“There is a deeper meaning behind my existence. You did not reveal the real reason behind why you chose me when I first met you.” I questioned.

“Yes, I haven’t told you everything you should know.” Her smile faded, “I have been keeping some things from you and it is time to reveal it.”

I straightened.

“Daemon created beings that live on blood. Call them vampires, bloodsuckers or whatever you will.” She explained, “Those mutated werewolves were given the ability to live on blood. They can harness the powers hidden in the blood in exchange for this mutation.”

No wonder those werewolves had eyes that was as red as blood. It was because they depended on blood itself.

“How does their dependence on blood affect my existence?” I asked.

Her explanation revealed things I did not know before but it did not answer the question I brought to her.

“Calm down. I am getting to that part.” She said. Her smile was back on her face.

“Sorry.” I blushed in embarrassment.

It seemed like I was too froward.

“You are a special being. I created you for the sole purpose of destroying Daemon’s power on earth. Your blood has the capacity to accommodate the bane of the creations Daemon made.” She continued.

I don’t know why I felt a painful pang when she said my whole reason for existing was to defeat her enemy.

Still, I understood from her point of view.

She wasn’t even sacrificing/me so I had nothing to be furious about.

“I understand.” Saying the words felt heavy in my mouth.

I was looking for the reason for my existence and I found it.

It was simple.

“If you hadn’t called for me, I would have still found a way to bring you to me. I wanted to tell you all this and I wanted to bestow that bane on you.” The moon goddess said.

“Will the bane affect me negatively?” I asked.

I had to.

I wanted to prepare for any inconsistencies that might crop up. I wanted to prepare for the good and the bad.

She sipped from her cup, “If you considered enhanced power as a negative point. Then, You had a little disadvantage against lycans before. With this, that flaw would be eradicated and you would have a merit over Daemon’s minions too.”

yes.

I sighed in relief.

The situation wasn’t as serious as I thought.

I thought the bane would suck away my lifespan bit by bit or take one of my senses. from me. I was thankful that I was mistaken.

I would get to live a long life with my pups and Dante. I would not leave prematurely by the moon goddess’s grace.

“The reason you are special is because our victory in this war depends on you. I am confident in defeating Daemon but his minions might wreck the earth.” The moon goddess explained, “Your blood can hold them back.”

“I understand. Thank you.” I said as I bowed a little.

I did not know the specific thing I was thanking her about. All I knew was that I felt thankful.

She brought my pups to me. She gave Dante to me as my second chance mate.

She brought me into a good family.

She introduced the omega warriors camp to me.

There were many things she had done that I had to be thankful for.

I compressed all my appreciation into a single thank you.

The moon goddess’s eyes glowed light blue for a whole second before dimming back to their original color.

A warm feeling thrummed through me. I felt all my blood, veins, nerves and muscles scream for joy.

After the feeling faded, I stood up and bowed again.

“Thank you.” I said with a smile.

She waved her hand to dismiss me, “You are welcome. It’s time to for you to leave. The time for the war is near. I have to prepare too.”

She winked at me as soon as she finished her words.

I wanted to smile in return but I found myself back at my crosslegged position.

“Did you get in touch with her?” Dante asked concernedly.

“Yes.” I rose to my feet, “It is time to decide the outcome of this war.”
