The Lycan King’s Rejected Soulmate by Fire Sprout

Chapter 5
Sadie had not come out of her shock yet but I didn’t blame her. I did not look at her. The only thing I did was stare at the moon.
The moon was bright and calming but I was feeling the opposite of what the moon was.
Sometimes I wonder why the moon goddess gave her creations the ability to reject their mates.
Mates were supposed to be your only refuge, something you can’t do
without.
Werewolves had forgotten that mate bond was a way for a ersom to find their other halves. Now, they look at backgrounds, bloodlines or something else when looking for a mate. The mates given to them by the moon goddess has a higher chance of being despised if their background or their bloodlines doesn’t make it to their mates’ unknown bottom line.
In this kind of world, I would rather choose who I want to be with after I have taken a good look at them than succumbing to the mate bond again. It is not like I don’t believe in the moon goddess, I just don’t want to be hurt again. The pain of a broken mate bond isn’t an easy thing to endure and it isn’t something I want to reexperience.
Sadie finally calmed down. She sat beside me before taking my hands.
into hers.
“Is it because of that scu mbag alpha’s rejection?” Sadie’s voice was choked with so bs and I felt sorry for her. She shouldn’t have been brought into my mess but she is the only one that mufgt be able to get what I needed so I took the selfish option of informing her.
“Majorly.” I manages to croak out and Sadie patted my hands softly in a bid to console me.
“You know that guy from my pack that had been wooing me?” She asked as she looked away from me to join me in staring at the sky. I missed to acknowledge her statement.
She had told me about the alpha that chased her fervently without any regard for her unsavory background and status.

I was so happy for her when I hears it because Sadie deserved a burst of sunshine amidst the gloomy atmosphere her lack exuded.
“He will find a way to get you the little but of wolfsbane you need. I just
want to confirm something. Are you really sure you want to do this?” Sadie asked as she brought her eyes back to my face.
“It is what I want.” I said quietly. It is either this or extreme pain and suffering.
Sadie nodded and stood up. I knew she was about to leave. Wolfsbane was a product controlled by those in power. It won’t be easy to get it. “Sadie, don’t stress yourself out. If you can’t find any wolfsbane, you can stop searching for it. We would find another alternative.” I advised before I shifted into my wolf.
I began to run back to my pack.
After I got to the Silver Crescent pack, I snuck back to my home.
I took a refreshing bath before relaxing on my old bed.
My mind couldn’t help but go back to the stranger I had a one night with. That night was the first time I felt so free and uninhibited. That stranger had loved every inch of my body in a very memorable way.
Besides, I thought my wolf, Diver would complain but she didn’t. She was silent all through except for when she purred when I saw our one night stand descending from the VIP or VVIP area upstairs.
‘Silver?’ I called. She answered me back enthusiastically and my mind settled down. I would not want something bad to happen to my wolf because I decided to indulge myself. It would have been a painful exchange no matter how I loved the stranger I had a one night stand with.
A quiet knock reverberated through my small house. It brought me our of my thoughts.
I stood up to check the door. I don’t know who would want to visit me at this time. Besides, nobody comes here except to issue jobs and the like.
I had outgrown the expectation of someone visiting me because they liked me.
I opened the door to see alpha Jake, my former mate. His blue eyes were still as enchanting as they had been the night before but for some reason, I didn’t like them as much as I previously did.
“Hello alpha Jake.” I said as I bowed down slightly. I would not want my pack’s alpha to punish me because of setting as trivial as the respects for alphas.
Alpha Jake’s eyes scammed my body thoroughly and I began to feel
uncomfortable. It was not like the stranger’s hot gaze from last night. While the stranger’s gaze excited me, alpha Jake’s gaze made me feel like ants were crawling along my skin.
He held me up as he righted my posture. When he finishes, I took a tiny step back. I didn’t want anything to do with him.
Why would alpha Jake come here secretly to meet a shewolf he had already rejected? I knew his motives for being here won’t be pure but for now, I had to listen.
He was more powerful than I am. I was just s weak omega. Going against him in a frontal action won’t be wise.
“Alpha Jake, what can I help you with? I am about to go do my chores.” I said in a soft voice. I tried to hint at him that I had things to do even if the action might be futile.
“Avery, I know my rejection was a bit harsh but I am willing to make it up to you.” Alpha Jake said and horror began dawning on me. This shouldn’t be what I am thinking it is. Alpha Jake should not destroy the good impression he had on me previously.
I took a deep breath, “Alpha Jake, why would you make it up to me? It is natural for you to reject me because I wasn’t up to the standards you set for your chosen mate.”
