The Lycan King’s Rejected Soulmate by Fire Sprout

Chapter 83
Avery
All the muscles and nerves in my body seemed to slow to a complete stop.
I could not believe what I was seeing.
I left my pups with Mrs Barrington because I knew they would be safe with her.
The Barrington’s Mansion wasn’t a place any random person can barge into. The guards were numerous and strong.
I could not understand.
Why was this happening?
I wanted to rush home immediately to confirm if my kids were really gone but my body didn’t move.
I knew that I needed no confirmation.
Those kids with Fredo were my pups. There was no mistake about that.
I wanted to see why Fredo kidnapped my children.
Going back to the Barrington’s mansion would do more harm than good.
I had to stay and watch this video to the end.
“Hello Avery, we meet again.” Fredo began and he waited for me to speak.
I did not say anything and I just stared at him with my red eyes.
If he was before me, I would try to tear him to shreds with all my might and power. I would not care for my wellbeing.
When I left Fredo and Freya behind, I did not entertain the thought of meeting them again.
To me, they were my past foes. They were defeated foes that should stay in my past.
Now, Fredo appeared with a big trick up his sleeve. A trick that destabilized me instantly.

He did not have to do much, laying his filthy hands on my family was already enough to corner me. He knew this fact.
I took deep breathes to calm my fury.
I did not want to smash the phone. It would be a futile effort.
I had to listen to what Fredo had to say. I did not want to destroy the only lead I have.
I wasn’t that dumb.
My anger refused to be appeased but I managed to strike a balance.
I observed Fredo.
イ
He was leaner now and the weathering of the elements and the passing of time showed on his body.
He looked like he needed help.
Fredo was the patron that bought me after he was impressed by my performance and face.
He was infatuated with me then.
I checked his eyes.
No love or infatuation remained now. The only thing left in his eyes was cold and hard hate.
He disliked me. To be more precise, Fredo hated me with every fiber of his being.
Something in his eyes striked me as something I was familiar with.
Then it clicked.
I have seen similar emotions in Sadie’s eyes.
It was an emotion manifested from raw hate.
Before Fredo began to speak, everything began aligning in my mind.

There was still parts I did not know about but I felt like I have gotten a very crude outline of what was happening here.
Sadie and Fredo was working together.
Sadie lured me here so that Fredo can launch an attack on the Barrington’s mansion.
I don’t know if Sadie knew of me being a warrior but she was very cautious.
Maybe she feared that I would call Dante so she lured me out.
Here I was, thinking that I had Sadie in the palm of my hand. I thought I had figured out a bit of her thoughts.
I remembered that Sadie promised to give a gift to both Dante and I. So this was her big gift.
I could not believe that Sadie did this kind of thing. Even though she harmed me in the past, I thought all her tricks and jealousies
would only amount to something like that.
I was wrong. I was terribly mistaken.
The hate in Sadie’s eyes seemed to make sense.
Why did I not run as far as I could?
I had always prided myself in my policy of never underestimating my opponents and enemies. I was wrong.
I had underestimated Sadie severely.
There was still mysterious points about her. Her unknown benefactor was still shrouded in shadows.
Everything felt messy in my head and I was not able to calculate.
“Speak. What do you want?” I found myself speaking in a calm voice.
-I wasn’t as calm as my voice portrayed me to be.
Still, an unperturbed appearance would give me an edge in negotiating with Fredo.
Even with my calm voice and unperturbed appearance, I felt like Fredo wasn’t buying any of it.
This similar situation took me back to our fight in his bedroom.

His gaze was also like this.
A gaze that kept telling me to spin more lies.
I had forgotten that Fredo was mad.
His obsession with me even overpowered his love for his sister. Now, all that obsession and infatuation had turn into something
darker that was tinged with a huge amount of hatred.
He held Silver junior, my daughter in his arms.
He pinched her plumpy cheeks sweetly.
“This should have been our children.” He whispered and my heart began to beat erratically.
イ
He turned his face from her and looked at me, “This should have been my pups. You would have been very happy. I would have
dismissed those girls at the backyard for you. You shouldn’t have to leave!”
The more his words took on an erratic note, the more his finger that was pinching my daughter’s cheeks clenched.
His nails was in a retracted state and it was not in a claw form. Still, my daughter’s skin was breaking and beads of blood was
welling up.
Tears welled in my daughter’s eyes but she didn’t cry.
My heart felt like a metal hand squeezed it mercilessly.
“What are you doing? You are hurting her!” I said angrily. I could not help myself.
My eyes stared at Fredo venomously.
My resolve to tear him apart grew more uncontrollable.
How dare he do that to my daughter?
My hands began to passively morph into claws and the hibernating Silver, my wolf began to growl within my consciousness.

“I would repeat again. What do you want so that you can let them go?” I forced the words through my clenched teeth.
“You do not make the demands here, I do.” Fredo said slowly as he laid my daughter roughly on the bed before picking Sky, my
second boy.
I fisted my hands and my nails dig into my flesh. Blood dropped to the floor.
I acted like I did not notice.
The pain was keeping me from doing something drastic.
“I would have told you to give yourself to me but there are people in high places that wants you in a miserable state.” Fredo
commented, “Avery, how did you offend the people that wanted to make your life a living hell? Is it by your alleged mate bond to
Dante, the lycan king?”
My heart dropped.
Hearing Dante’s name made it clear that these people knew my background information well.
So this was what that strange feeling I had when Dante brought us back to yo the Barrington’s mansion hinted at?
I did not think in this direction at all.
The moon goddess tried to warn me but I was too dumb to interprete her sign.
I let Sadie and Fredo succeed.
It–was–obvious that Sadie and Fredo had help.
“What do you want? I can give you everything you want.” I tried again.
A sole tear dropped from my eyes and traced its way to my chin.
After pinching Sky, Fredo took my firstborn, Rain.
el
My chest felt starved of air. I felt like I could not breath properly.

“You were everything I wanted but now, it is not so simple. This is not in my hands anymore.” Fredo twisted the flesh of Rain’s
cheek.
Rain’s eyes reddened but he did not speak or cry.
His eyes just drifted to meet mine from time to time.
Why had Sadie done this?
I have never harmed her before.
What warranted all this?
She even brought Fredo, my enemy to me.
イ
Did she find Fredo after I told her some of my life story to motivate her to not look down on herself?
I hated myself for not realizing that Sadie was this cunning. My foolish self thought I was Sadie’s best friend but it turned out that
I knew little about her.
She had become an enigma.
I felt like I have never known who Sadie is.
All I knew was the tip of the ice berg. I did not know what caused her to make a change that was this drastic.
Lopened my mouth to speak but Fredo stopped me.
He raised his finger in a shushing motion, “Don’t ask me what I want. It is starting to annoying me. You can not give me what I
want.”
“Why don’t you try me?” Finally my voice cracked.
I could not hold on anymore. I could not pretend to be unaffected or unperturbed.
This matter is devastating.

“I won’t. The only person that can satisfy my wish and wants is the person I am working for.” Fredo waved with a smile that
looked horrifying, “I will see you later.”
After his words finished, the broadcast ended abruptly and the phone’s screen darkened.
I crashed to the floor.
In the span of minutes, I lost my children and I had no way to get them back.
