The Lycan King’s Rejected Soulmate by Fire Sprout

Avery
Fifteen years later.
“Mom, wake up.” A sweet voice sounded, “How can you sleep in on your birthday?”
I ignored the voice. It was my daughter, Silver junior.
We tried to give them official names but they refused. They wanted the original names I gave them because they felt like it was
more special.
According to Rain, it signified our victory over tumultuous times.
A hand nudged me.
I shifted a little and I burrowed deeper into the bedsheets.
Dante had gotten up early so I had to savor the remaining body heat he left on the bed.
I don’t know how sleeping in turned into a crime.
The hand started to take tickle me but I was unmoved.
“Go away.” I said groggily before attempting to go back into the embrace of sleep.
A body climbed my figure.
“Mommy, wake up!” A loud voice blasted into my eardrums with intense ferocity.
This time, there was no way to avoid waking up.
This was one of the moments I wished I didn’t have sensitive senses.
It seemed Silver junior would not give up until I heeded her request.
“I’m up.” I conceded before I settled myself in a sitting position.
I stretched before rubbing my eyes.

“What do you want?” I asked Silver junior.
She was looking at me with excited eyes.
Her eyes made me put my guard up.
“You promised us that we would dress you up for the birthday banquet dad is hosting for you.” Silver junior kindly explained but I
frowned.
I didn’t need her kindness. I regretted promising her that wish.
I wanted to sleep more.
Silver junior had grey eyes but her pupils seemed to be tainted with a red color that refused to go away.
This was the result of the mutation Daemon tried to plant in them years ago.
My pups overcame that mutation with their will. It left a side effect though.
Their pupils always had an hint of red. It made them seem more bloodthirsty to others.
I didn’t mind the change because they would always be my children regardless of their outward form.
After the war, I had a chance to relax for fifteen years without any cataclysmic thing happening.
The world went back to how it was before Daemon was created.
We gave Rodney Barrington and his family their just desserts.
Sadie was still suffering the results of her bad decisions.
We tied up all the loose ends also.
Thankfully, Daemon had ordered all his vampires to be present when the great war took place. We didn’t have to search for any
lurking enemies.
Still, all the mutated werewolves that didn’t participate in the war was punished.
Whether they participated or not, their crime still remained.

After all, they had to have showed Daemon a green light to be able to achieve their
mutation.
They had to betray the moon goddess and the werewolf race.
“Mom, I know you aren’t the type to go back on your promise so get up.” Silver junior said.
‘It’s your birthday. Can’t you be a little more excited? Our mate must have prepared a great surprise.’ Silver, my wolf said.
Her unhappiness at my decision to sleep in was obvious.
For the past fifteen years, Dante had always honored my birthdays. Surprises, parties and more was the mainstays.
He took everything related to me seriously.
I rolled my cycs.
Now, Silver was on Silver junior’s side.
Like mother, like daughter.
“Silver Junior, is mom done yet? We want to bring the dress in.” Sky’s voice sounded from the closed door.
I rubbed my forehead carefully.
It seemed like I would not be able to get out of this.
“No, she is just getting out of bed.” Silver snitched on me without any change in her expression.
“You can’t even protect your mother.” I grumbled before going to the bathroom connected to the master bedroom.
Soon, I was done and I wore my underwears. I put on a bathrobe over it all.
“Go get the dress from Rain and Sky.” I said to Silver Junior.
She went to open the door.
Rain and Sky did not need any invitation.

Rain held the dress they picked and they entered.
Sky smiled when he saw me.
“You don’t look like you want to get out of bed at all.” He mused and I sighed.
My sigh held deep meaning.
“It is good that you know.” I said.
“Silver junior, do what you promised. We would be waiting downstairs.” Rain said before dragging the unwilling Sky out.
Silver junior closed the door and she smiled as she walked towards me.
For some reason, her smile made me feel like I was a little girl being deceived by an old man with dark intentions.
“Don’t worry, mom. I’ve got this.” Silver said as she began removing the items in a brown box.
I didn’t even notice the box.
The box held makeup tools and a little bit of jewelry.
After offloading her tools, Silver got to work.
I didn’t know how much time it took for her to finish everything but I felt time passed
too fast.
She didn’t speak and I didn’t say a word either but the atmosphere between us was comfortable.
I wanted to be soaked in that atmosphere for a bit more time but I didn’t.
I stood up to wear the outfit the kids picked for me.
I knew Silver junior might have be given a time ultimatum by her dad.
The kids chose a beautiful red gown that contrasted well with
my skin.

The red color made may green eye pop.
It reminded me of the first time Dante and I met. I was wearing a red outfit that day too.
I didn’t need to look at the mirror to know that I was stunning.
Over the past few years, Dante had ironed out any form of self-degradation. He would not have me putting myself down.
“Let’s go.” Silver junior urged me.
I nodded and we both went downstairs.
There was a huge hall located in the first floor of our home.
It unused before Dante chose it for this party.
We always used different halls.
We entered the hall.
The guests quieted down as they stared at me.
I put my initial resistance at the back of my mind. I smiled.
I enjoyed their gazes of worship.
It hadn’t been easy to achieve this as an omega.
Since I and Dante set a good example, the werewolf world treated omegas better.
It put my mind at ease because Silver junior turned out to be an omega like me.
She was strong and powerful. Still, it seemed my omega bloodline was too strong,
Even Danie’s lycan bloodline couldn’t fully merge with it.
Rain and Sky were lycans though.
I felt like their authority and power would surpass their dad’s when they grow up.

Rain was even like Dante’s carbon copy.
Dante was waiting for me with a smile.
He was at the end of the staircase.
He held out an hand to me.
I put my hand into his inviting palm.
He drew me close and then, he landed a swift kiss on my lips.
A red cloud colored my cheeks.
I shouldn’t be like this with him but I can’t stop myself.
We have done more passionate things but even the simplest of kisses still sent me into a frenzy.
I guess I always felt like a young girl tasting love for the first time with Dante.
“Dad, don’t blind our eyes.” Silver junior whispered with a smile in her eyes.
“Look elsewhere then.” I retorted.
I wrapped my arms around Dante.
I thank the moon goddess everyday for bringing him to me.
He was my life and light.
Dante still remained as he was years ago.
We had our disagreements but we had our happy moments as well.
Dante built a home with me and that was something to be thankful for.
“Thank you.” I said to Dante.
His handsome brows furrowed.

“I said there is n-“I put my finger on his mouth to stop his words.
I smiled, “I know. Come and show me the surprise you prepared.”
I wanted him to lead me to where he kept the gifts he always gave but Dante had other plans.
“I had something planned in mind but your actions brought another idea to me.” Dante said before he leaned to pick me up in a
princess carry.
He captured my lips in a scorching dance.
I could see nothing but him.
Oh boy.
I had provoked the beast and I was going to reap the consequences.
Those consequences are something I was willing to welcome.
Bring it on Dante!
