The Lycan King’s Rejected Soulmate

Chapter 65

Avery

“Mother.” Dante’s face was impassive as he called out.

There was not an ounce of happiness at all in his tone.

Everybody in the room could sense his displeasure.

Still, Dante’s mother, Madam Romanos behaved as if she did not see it.

A waiter was behind her.

He was holding an extra chair in his hands. He set the chair before the table. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

The two–person table became a three–person table in an instant.

“Speak of the devil and she shall appear.” I said sarcastically.

Dante did not look at me and he did not correct me. He just kept his frosty gaze on his mother.

“Dante, I have been looking everywhere for you. Why did you ignore my messages and calls? That is not how you should treat your mother!” Madam Romanos satbin her chair like a Queen.

Her demeanor was like she was in charge of everything here.

A cold smirk adorned my lips.

I watched her like she was a clown.

If she behave neutrally to me instead of antagonizing me from the start, I would have respected her.

No one is expected to like me at the beginning but she showed hate for me right

away.

She did not show propriety at all.

She went into conclusions with her bias of me.

I would not respect any person that doesn’t even respect me.

I would not want to waste my efforts on something that is not worthwhile.

Madam Romanos was not worthwhile for me.

Besides, she is against my union with her son and that makes her my opposition.

Dante was mine and anybody that wants me to be separated from him is my

enemy.

An awkward silence hung over the atmosphere of the private room.

I did not want to speak and Dante did not say anything either.

I could see that he was itching to chase her away but he was holding it in.

I knew he loved his mother.

It had to be the piece of love he had for her that acted as an intercession for Madam Romanos.

If it was the lycan king Dante Romanos that I heard about, he would not be so forgiving.

“Dante, I thought you were looking for a girl that you said is your mate before. Why are you going out with others now? You are not behaving properly!” Madam Romanos was trying to sound like an upright mother but her act did not fool any of us.

Still, her words sent me into my thoughts.

Dante had been searching for someone he called his mate before.

There is all possibility that the woman he was searching for is me.

He said he met me at the club Sadie, my best friend took me to so I can forget my rejection.

He should have been looking for me ever since.

Even when our paths almost crossed in a mission, Yuri told me how anxious he was to look for me.

I was sad.

I used to wonder if the stranger I had spent a night with searched for me but when he did, I avoided him instead of welcoming him.

Although I did not know his identity and character then, the fact still remain.

I had avoided him. That is the truth.

Dante was great.

I was just selfish by avoiding him but I can not be blamed either.

The pain of rejection is too dominating.

My first reaction is to adapt and find ways I can avoid experiencing that kind of pain again.

I might be wrong from his point of view but all I can do is apologize. I had my

own reasons too.

All I know is that I would never avoid him again.

Since fate had brought us together, we are going to stay together.

I could see what Madam Romanos wanted to do.

She was starting to show her fangs bit by bit.

She wanted me to misunderstand Dante by mentioning another woman.

She did not know that Dante had already come clean with the truth.

I was glad Dante said the truth to me. It prevented any misunderstanding from happening.

If he had not come clean with the truth, the words Madam Romanos said might cause a rift in our relationship.

If he did not tell me then, he would come clean later but then it would be too late. His honesty would have come at a late time.

Our relationship might be repaired but it would not be like the beginning.

I was the woman Dante was looking for.

Her taunting words were all for naught.

“Mother, leave now before I do something I would not regret. Your tricks are in vain.” Dante stood up from his chair and directed his gaze at the door.

A natural aura from his body spilled out and it made it hard to breath.

This was a type of suppression.

He was showing his power.

“What?! You have only known her for what? Days! Yet you are on her side instead of being on the side of the mother that had been with you for years.” Madam Romanos said.

Her fear was obvious.

Dante’s powerful aura suppression was not directed at me but even I was affected. Madam Romanos was at the forefront. She was the target of his attack.

She had it worse than me.

Beads of sweat rolled down her forehead to the sides of her cheek.

Dante’s face turned into a frosty mask.

His aura suppression increased in power.

“It is none of your concern.” Dante’s reply was calm but it’s chilling undertones could not be ignored.

I did not say anything yet.

I wanted to enjoy the feeling of my man fighting for me first.

Madam Romanos directed her eyes to me. I returned her glare without any hint of cowardice.

Her eyes were bloodshot and they looked like a beast that was ready to pounce. I looked at her calmly.

The tricks she want to use does not matter. I was ready to counter any of her plans.

I was not a sitting duck.

“I have investigated this girl before I came to meet you. She was picled up by a millionaire family as an adopted daughter but that is all she would remain. An adoptive daughter might not be able to inherit anything.” Madam Romanos’s gaze

was on me but her words were for Damte,.

She did not want to stop her attempt at destroying our happiness.

I was thankful my pups were also Dante’s pups.

Although I believed in Dante’s character, his mother was persistent.

If the pups were not Dante’s children, she would keep ringing that fact in his ears.

She might chat his impression of my pups.

Thankfully, they are his kids too.

“She had given birth to three kids before. She does not know who their father is. She is not clean. Avery is not fit for you. Why would you give up clean beauties for a used shoe?” Madam Romanos continues.

I wanted to watch her behave like a clown for a longer time but her last words touched my nerves.

So single mothers are not allowed to fall in love?

So people that have slept with someone before are not clean?

Although I also frown down on illicit or wanton sexual activities, I believe every one had their reasons.

Being a single mother does not mean the society had to turn their backs on the single mother?

Most people sleep with who they are in a relationship with but they might end up.with someone else in the future.

Are they not clean?

Madam Romanos’s view in life amused me. It angered me at the same time.

I could not tolerate her calling me a used shoe.

I slammed my hand on the table.

The plates made a sound as they collided with the table and each other.

“What do you mean by calling me a used shoe. You are not even ashamed of saying it in front of me.” I was angry and I did not want to censor my words at all, “So if you decide to remarry now, you are considered a dirty, smelly and used shoe? Are you not also an unclean woman? We are the same!”

Madam Romanos stared at me in shock.

“Who are you comparing to yourself?” She asked incredulously.

I did not want to deal with her again.

She had the guts to insult someone but she could not take it when the insult was used on her.

It was ridiculous.

She was a shameless person.

Dante crossed the distance between me and him before he held the hand I used to slam the table.

The hand tingped as he touched it.

He massaged it softly as his face was filled with gentleness.

“Don’t hurt yourself because of her. She is not worth it.” He said to me softly.

His words were like he was whispering sweet nothings.

Actually, his words were sweet nothings. I felt happier hearing him talk.

He turned to his mother and his bearings became as cold as ice.

“Avery is not a used shoe. I was the one that impregnated her. Instead of you. thanking her for not aborting them to save her from the words or gossips of people like you, you insult her. Dante’s words were biting cold.

Madam Romanos’s mouth hung open in shock.

I knew he did not want to use violence because they were still a bit of mother–son relationship between them.

He did not want to lay a hand on her.

“They are your kids?” Madam Romanos said in a wry voice, “I did not know. I thought they were seeds of a wild spurn werewolf outside.”

I narrowed my eyes.

I could feel that her hatred for me did not decrease.

“Please leave.” Dante’s patience was stretched to the limits and it showed from his bearings.

Even I, felt like Dante was very dangerous now.

I knew Madam Romanos felt it more than I do.

She stood up from her chair.

“Bring the pups to the lycans‘ home to see their future subjects.” She started, Hope you are not thinking of not coming to the Lycan City? You can not hide here. forever. At least, I am not being malicious now with my request?”

After her words, she did not wait for another extra second.

Madam Romanos took her leave immediately.

Dante and I was left to deal with the aftermath of her visit.
