The Lycan King’s Rejected Soulmate by Fire Sprout

Chapter 18

Avery

Aria’s face was crumpled into a frown that sent chills down everybody’s spines.

After the escaping girl was helped to the shore, Aria kicked her heavily. I cringed at the kick. Aria did not show the girl pity at all.

She turned to the guards, “Whip her till she is half dead! That would teach her to listen to instructions.”

The order successfully frightened the rest of the girls. I wasn’t frightened but I kept my head bowed to give off the impression that I was scared. I did not want Aria to target me because I am giving her the impression that I was challenging her authority.

People like her value submission very much. She doesn’t want people to fight back if she bullies them. She would prefer her victims to be as obedient as they can be.

A classic example of a bully.

I knew I had to be well behaved for now.

I had to know where we were and I had to be familiar with the way the guards are stationed.

I have to blend in to the best of my capabilities or I would be at risk.

Aria swept her gaze over us.

“Let this incident be a warning to you people. In this place, the only way you can survive is to listen to your superior’s instructions.” Aria had her hands folded across her chest as she kept her sharp eyes on us.

I could see that the remaining girls blamed the shewolf that failed in her escape, If any of them had thoughts of running away before, the shewolf had already rendered any effort they are about to do useless.

She had made Aria and the guards wary.

They would extra careful when dealing with the girls.

“Hey! Why is your hair covering your face?” Aria shouted.

She turned to me and my heart sank.

Even as I was bathing in the river, I took great care in order not to show

my face.

I thought I could get away with hiding my face. I did not know it would be exposed this soon.

Aria’s gaze did not budge from me and I could not pretend like I did not know she was talking to me.

The guards patrolling the river stopped to watch me. The other five girls also stared at me.

I knew I was already behaving suspicious but one part of me wished it wasn’t me Aria was talking to.
