The Lycan King’s Rejected Soulmate

Chapter 27

Avery

Miss Freya’s face was full of shock.

I bowed my head to hide my glistening eyes and the small smile at the corner of my lips.

I did not want Miss Freya to notice my predatory eyes.

I and Miss Freya might still be considered strangers but I had grasped her weak point.

Since she was in love with her brother, there was chance for me manipulate her from that direction.

I knew I was prettier than Miss Freya but I said otherwise.

She would feel good if a person who is better than her compliments her.

Giving compliments had to be done in a specific way.

Some people might give genuine compliments but it would sound phony to the ears of the one that was given compliments.

I was the prettiest person here so my compliment would sound special to Miss Freya.

“You just arrived?” She asked.

I could see the joy she couldn’t hide.

“Yes.” I replied.

I was every bit the image of a humble maid.

“Did you sleep with my brother today?” Miss Freya asked seriously.

My mind went through all the possibilities i could maneuver and I finally settled on telling the truth.

Miss Freya was in love with her elder brother. Someone like that would dislike me for badmouthing her brother.

Her brother would be like her reverse scale. Matters concerning him would have to be handled carefully.

I looked up at her, “I convinced Mr. Drake to give me the grace of today.”

After seeing what she was capable of, I changed the way I addressed Fredo in front of her.

I don’t want an unintentional slip of tongue to make Miss Freya hate me. I don’t want my words to destroy all the rapport I have built so far.

Thankfully, the shock Diana had displayed when I called Mr. Drake Fredo had taught me that the way I addressed was special.

The happiness on her face multiplied but she still tried to hide it.

“Why are you asking for the grace to not sleep with him today? Do you think my brother is not good enough for you?” Miss Freya snorted.

Her tone was strict but I knew she was pretending to be angry even as her insides. bubbled with happiness.

I was sure I was the only person that succeeded in convincing Fredo in this kind of situation.

“I just wanted to lay low. Mr. Drake is too out of my reach.” I replied and Miss Freya’s face brightened considerably at my words.

I shifted close to her.

The bodyguards reacted but Miss Freya raised up an hand to dissuade them from doing anything.

“Miss Freya, please take me under you. If I can emulate just one tenth of your grace and charisma, I would be set for fortune.” I pleaded with my face in a demure state.

Miss Freya have me a long look before she hanged her whip on her belt.

“Take her back into the cages.” After instructing the bodyguards, she turned to me. “What is your name?” She asked.

“My name is Avery.” I was already getting used to introducing myself.

I can’t count how many times I had been asked my name.

Looking back now, my time in Silver Crescent Pack was too quiet and stable.

I did not need to repeat my name to everybody that asks. My former pack members knew me well.

They did not need to ask about my name or history. Both rumors and truths about me were already running wild in the pack.

I was their stress relieve girl.

I was the person they would be able to bully and then, get away with it.

“Avery, you would follow me from now on.” Miss Freya said and she began to walk

out.

I darted a glance to the building that houses Fredo’s slave girls and I discovered that there was no one standing outside.

I did not know when all the girls disappeared into their rooms.

I was sure Diana and the rest of the girls in her group would be surprised at my action.

I followed Miss Freya.

I always kept a foot distance between us.

Miss Freya took me to her room and I helped her disrobe.

I haven’t served someone like this before but my deductions and Aria’s teaching made sure I did not do terribly.

Miss Freya took a bath and I volunteered to help her dry her hair.

Miss Freya was categorized in the section of people I would love to deal with.

These are people that their actions can be deduced carefully.

People with enigmatic thinking are hard to guess so I dislike dealing with those kinds of people.

The only way for me to escape from here is through Miss Freya.

I haven’t seen outside of the mansion yet but I knew that there would many guards keeping watch.

The only feasible plan I came up with is to poison everybody and I would then use the window of time the poisoning won for me to make my escape.

To start my plan, Miss Freya’s recognition and approval is key.

I had to raise Miss Freya’s impression of me.

Although any improvement to the impression she has won’t be that huge but it would help me with my requests later.

“Miss Freya, would you like to here my story. It would be a way for you to relax.” I asked with a smile in my voice.

“Go ahead.” Her voice was silky and soft because of how I massaged her scalp as I combed her hair.

“I and my mother was accepted into the Silver Crescent Pack in exchange for us doing the menial hobs in the pack.” I started.

I thought I would feel the pang of pain that would always well up whenever I think about my past but I was numb instead.

I had better things to do than to marvel at the scars my past left me.

I did not have enough time to do things I love so why would I wallow in the pits of my past.

Now, I have a better future to look forward to.

I continued, “One day we encountered rogues as we were on our trip to deliver goods Alpha Bryan instructed us to send. My mother died to save my life. She died in my place because both I and my mom knew the rogues were targeting

me.”

I did not bother to cook up lies for Miss Freya. I only told my true background story.

I would be able to express the right emotions if I said a true story. Besides, any emotions I express would be genuine.

“After my mom death-” I wanted to continue my tale but Miss Freya interrupted

1. me.

I was happy at her for interrupting me because it meant that she was hooked up in my story.

“When you and your mother encountered the rogue attack, are you people closer to or farther than the Silver Crescent Pack?” She asked.

Her voice was holding suppressed emotions.

“We were closer to the Silver Crescent Pack but they didn’t bother to help. Maybe my former pack alpha thought it was a waste to spend manpower to save us.” I said offhandedly.

Although I was saying my words nonchalantly, I could still remember how traumatic that memory is for me.

I would never forget that alpha Bryan had the chance to turn things around but he didn’t.

He could have prevented the loss of a parent that I experienced but he left me and my mother to our fates.

Anger clouded Miss Freya’s features.

“Miss Freya, you haven’t heard anything yet. Don’t be angry.” I consoled.

She nodded before she closed her eyes.

“Years later, I was still doing menial jobs for the pack. The only difference my life had was that I was the object of rumors and bullying.” I sighed, “And that wasn’t the worst thing to happen. I found my mate but I was rejected in front of the entire pack.”

Miss Freya’s eyes shone with pity but I sneered inwardly.

She was feeling pity for me like she wasn’t a nightmare to others too.

I smiled, “That is not the painful thing. He found his second chance mate and his mate turned out to be a girl that deceived me by pretending to be my friend in order to mock me.”

“What?!” Miss Freya sat up in shock and my hands slipped from my hair.

She turned a little in her seat so she could see me well.

“He was mated to your enemy after he rejected you?” She questioned.

My way of telling my life story wasn’t boring at all so she was able to sympathize with me.

I needed all the positive feelings she could offer me.

I nodded.

“That is not all. My former mate came to me and he asked to me to go with him to his pack as a concubine.” I said and alpha Jake’s punchable face appeared in my mind.

Currently, he should have gone to his pack with Lily. They would not keep

searching for me forever.

“What?!” Miss Freya repeated but this time, she just opened her eyes. She did not sit up.

“He was seduced by my face.” I sneered.

‘Some men are just seduced by my face!

I added the rest of my words mentally.

“Against my reservations, I had to plan my escape with the girl my former mate was bonded to. She didn’t want me snatch her partner so she assisted me.” My hands did not stop their ministrations as I spoke.

I was almost done with styling Miss Freya’s hair but my previous efforts was destroyed when she sat up.

I had to start styling her hair from the beginning again.

“While I was on my escape, I collapsed in the vicinity of a small tribe that wanted to use me as sacrifice.” I paused, “The tribe wanted to gain the supernatural powers werewolves have by sacrificing me to the moon goddess.”

“I escaped from that tribe but I trespassed into the territory of the Dark Dome’s people. They are the ones that sold me to Mr. Drake.” I finished my story at last.

I did not tell Miss Freya about the moon goddess’s mission. I did not tell her about my pregnancy too.

Those things were secret things.

Even if I wanted to secure Miss Freya’s favor, there are things I would not reveal to her.

She is not my friend. She is a disposable component in my escape plan.

Besides, she might use that information to shackle me if I said things about my kids and the mission the moon goddess gave me.

Regardless of how she sympathized with me, Miss Freya was still my enemy.
