The Lycan King’s Rejected Soulmate

Chapter 15

Chapter 15 Avery My me ntal self disappeared after the white space crumbled. I opened my eyes to see the scene I left before the moon goddess drew me into the white space. Nara and her tribespeople were still in the process of doing the sacrifice. I still felt the itching and tearing sensation through out my body but their effects on me were severely weakened now. The pain the sensations cause were within my pain tolerance. I stared at Nara contemptuously. Nara’s ambitious face made a hint of laughter slip past my lips. She glared at me, “What are you laughing at?” “You.” I gave her a pointed look as I replied. The fiery flames had already burnt the rope the Bosun Tribe used to tie me into cinders. With minimal effort on my part, the bindings fell apart and I got down from the burning firewood. Nara stumbled in shock and my action threw the Bosun Tribespeople into panic. To them, I was a predator. I wasn’t keen on emphasizing that part before but things are different now. I won’t be magnanimous after they tried to take my life for their selfish gains. Indirectly, they tried to take the lives of my wolf and pups. That action can never be forgiven. I grinned at the crowd. “Catch her! She is still poisoned with Silverbane flowers!” Nara said with her facial features twisted into something eerie and unknown. I stretched my body, the effects of the Silverbane flowers were still there, it would not be easy to go against the Bosun Tribespeople in my current state. The pill the moon goddess gave me was still tightly clenched in my palm. It would improve my physique

tremendously and the effects of the Silverbane flowers will naturally be discarded. Besides, even if I didn’t have the miraculous pill the moon goddess gave me, I was bound to stake all I have in the oncoming battle against the Bosun Tribe. They had dome evil to me and I would avenge the wrongs I felt. This people won’t be able to get away. I would not let them. Even if I ignored my grudges with them, they would not let me go because they are greedy for the powers I possess. In the off chance that they let me leave this place safely, another werewolf would fall for their scheme.

If the moon goddess hadn’t intervened, I don’t know the state I would be in now. I would probably meet the end of my life here. Nara was assisted by the moon goddess enemy, that gave me more reasons to eliminate her. I was entertaining the thoughts of leaving a few of them alive to cater for my needs all through tomorrow but after observing the Bosun Tribespeople some more, I knew I would be potentially endangering my life again if I interacted with them. There is no assurance that they would not try to feed me another item that is a weakness to werewolves. I would be a foolish shewolf to believe them again. I threw the pill into my mouth. The pill melted into a spiritual flow that went down my throat warmly. My bones, muscles and flesh began their strengthening journey. The weakness and lethargy that was a result of the drink poisoned with Silverbane flowers started to fade till they disappeared completely. I clenched my fist and I could feel the immense power flowing through my body. I grinned at Nara and the rest of the Bosun Tribespeople. They were going to pay a deadly price but judging by their expressions, they thought they stood a

chance. I wasn’t under the effects of their poisoned drink anymore. It was the time to start my sla ughter. The men Nara instructed to take me down advanced towards me with heavy steps. ‘Silver, we are going to take revenge together.’ I promised. ‘Yes.’ Silver acknowledged. I knew she wanted revenge as much as I did. My silver fur glistened in the moonlight but I paid no heed to it. My sight was on Nara. I enjoyed the shock on her face when she saw me shift. I wasn’t supposed to be able to shift to my wolf because of the Silverbane flowers but I was overthrowing all her conjectures by morphing into Silver. The men that were coming toward me halted their advance in fear. They had to be afraid because I was sure my gaze was predatory. It was telling them they were going to die here. Nara got her composure back quickly. “Don’t worry, she had taken the poison flowers. I don’t know the reason why she can still turn into a wolf but she is very weak now, she won’t be a -threat!” Nara shouted and the men that were already cowering regained their backbone. I smirked. Although I would not let them escape in the first place, they had just lost their only chance to get away. Nara was right but she did not know I had a pill given to me by the moon goddess. Without the pill, I would still be weak. I might take a few men down but I would still be captured by them again. I laughed again before I lunged for the first man in my way. He didn’t expect me to act this fast so he wasn’t able to dodge. Even if he dodged, his outcome would have still been the same because a human reflexes can not compare with the ones a werewolf has! A

My fangs sang into his flesh and I pulled. Flesh and blood filled my mouth. The man had a look of shock as he held his neck to stop the intense blood loss. He was going to die soon so I shifted gaze to the next person. I ran to the second man with a soft whoosh before I raised my claws and swiped it across his chest. Several of his ribs cracked and punctured his heart. My heart pounded, I did not know that I could exert this amount of power. The other men seemed to rediscover the fear they had for me because nobody rushed towards me anymore. They knew coming to attack me was a death wish but they did not know that their fates were already sealed. It does not matter if they attack me or not, I was still going to send them to their graves. “Monster!” Somebody shouted from the crowd and the rest of the Bosun Tribespeople began to echo the person. I bared my teeth at them. Yes, I was a monster and this monster is the one that would end their lives. If they ever have a chance to redo this life, they would be better people and they would stay away from me. I began my massacre. Rage, caused by everything I have been through kept fueling me. I kept tearing into everybody I could find. Screams filled the square but I enjoyed every bit of it. When only Nara was left, I changed back to my human form. I approached her slowly. For every step I took forward, she took a step backwards/Fear and awe was written over her face. I disdained the awe she felt. If she felt awe towards werewolves, she would not have tried to use one as a sacrifice to turn herself into the same creature.

Although I have heard of werewolves that mistreat their kind and I have experienced some for myself when I was still in the Silver Crescent Pack, Nara becoming a werewolf would have been the worst thing to befall the werewolves. She is the kind of person that would abuse her powers. As a human, she was already committing atrocities, who would be able to guess the kind of crimes she would indulge in when the power she wants lands in her hands. Thankfully, the moon goddess assured me that all those who performed this ritual had all perished. Now, it was Nara’s turn.. Any creature who used the book always ended up dead and Nara was not going to be an exception. She was too evil to be left alive. “Avery, I know you are mad for what we did but it was the tribespeople that convinced me to do this. I didn’t want to hurt you.” Nara pleaded as she kept taking more steps backwards. I wanted to laugh at Nara’s selfishness but I couldn’t. The least Nara could do as a normal person is to admit her involvement in the whole issue. Now, she was twisting everything up and she is putting the blame for everything that had happened on the dead people of the Bosun Tribe. It was disgusting. Did she think I was a three year old? Her emotions when she was telling me her background story can’t be wrong. Now that she saw that all her plans had been sabotaged, she is trying to turn black to white and then win me over. I grinned at her. I could tell my smiles and grins made her on edge so I did it often. She tried to make my life hell but she did not realize that I would make sure her own life wasn’t in a good state too. “Didn’t you say that you found the book yourself and back then, you refuse to submit to your fate soContent from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

you heeded what the book asked you to do in order to get power.” I mocked her as I continued taking steps towards her. “It was one of the men that found the book. I only took credit for what I didn’t do! The man is dead now, please let me go.” Nara said and I looked at her with a half smile. This woman really thinks I am gullible. Did she think I would be able to accept any of her words as truth after all she had done? would never believe anything that drops out of her mouth. Besides, I don’t care whether it is Nara that discovered the book or if it is somebody else, all I knew was that Nara has to die today!
