The Lycan King’s Rejected Soulmate

Chapter 51

Avery

When the sight before my eyes stabled, I saw that I was in a bustling city. Numerous people passed by my side.

Some of them had the scents of werewolves on them while some smelled like humans.

I was finally in a city where humans and werewolves intermingles.

It was a fresh experience for me.

Soon, my joy was cut short.

I came to a city but I don’t have any means of livelihood.

Since humans lived in this city, everybody had to obey the currency that was circulating.

This is not a place only werewolves stay.

In a werewolf pack, the value of something like money was at rock bottom. It would become a thing of no value.

However, cities that had interactions between these two races use currency.

It was similar to how human cities run.

I just stood at the spot the crystal teleported me to like an idiot.

Some of the people passing gave me strange looks.

How I wished that Sadie was here.

The town she took me to when she wanted me to forget my rejection had humans living there.

She would have known how to handle the situation I am in.

My naivety was clear for all to see.

All the people present had seen me appear from thin air but they did not act surprised.

It was as if my teleportation wasn’t a new thing.

It seemed the omega warriors had done missions in this city before.

“Hello lady, I see that you are new here. Do you want me to give you an overview of how this city work?” A young man approached me.

His visage was clean and he was an handsome young man.

Still, I frowned at his approach.

His aura indicated his status as a werewolf.

I was wary of this new person.

Anybody that was too enthusiastic had to have been hiding ulterior intentions.

Their motives would be highly unclear.

“Dont worry, I am not doing it for free. You will have to write an IOU about your debt to me. You would be able to pay me back later after you earned your own money.” The young man explained when he saw the wariness on my face.

His explanations made sense but he still did not make me comfortable. I don’t know the reason for that but I always trust my gut feeling. Even if I feel like he might be up to no good, I have no choice but to let him play his tricks. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

I don’t know much about this city.

The temptation of the information he was promising is too great. I can not ignore it.

“Okay, I will trust you for now.” The words that flowed out of my lips. might feel like honest words to this stranger. Only I, know what was going through my mind.

I was still wary of this stranger. I did not let my guard down at all.

He might not have noticed but my eyes are observing his every move.

I did not want the mistake that happened because of Damien to happen again.

Although I chose to disregard my gut feeling for now because I wanted to obtain information about this city, I am still watchful of any red flags. If this man tries any sneaky thing, I was ready to make a move.

“My name is Gary and I, on the behalf of Zera City, welcome you. Zera city is a hub for both werewolves and humans. Businesses thrive here. and this city is only second to another city in the whole world.” Gary informed. Excitement colored his tone and I was infected by his emotions.

Gary’s words might have been exaggerated but there had to be some degree of truth to it.

I looked at my surroundings.

Zera city was truly a bustling city.

It felt like the city do not get to have a moment of rest.

It was like an high pressure pot.

Gary continued showing me places. He does not forget to add the description every time.

Zera city was an upscale, city that was located in the United States.

It’s populace was huge.

Before I came here, I had done missions in cities that was similar to Zerà city. It was just that the cities were smaller than Zera city.

Werewolves had assimilated some of the habits humans have as we

coexisted with them.

Nowadays, werewolves work. They create their own companies themselves.

Some werewolves are filthy rich.

A sneeze of theirs can make billions of dollars rain over Zera city.

Werewolves have good physiques.

Intelligence, beauty, strength. They have it all.

Most companies, organizations or firms around the world are owned by werewolves or lycans.

Human entrepreneurs were in the minority.

Still, humans reproduce swiftly so there was no way the werewolves could eliminate them completely.

Thankfully, the werewolves and lycans did not try to eliminate humans.

The moon goddess would not have even agreed for that kind of action to be taken.

Humans and the rest of the supernatural species maintained a superficial relationship that was good on the surface.

Some humans in backward clans or tribes still see werewolves as

monsters.

Those humans do everything to get rid of werewolves but they don’t succeed.

There are also some werewolves that uses humans as slaves because

humans were in the weaker side.

Everything is barely maintained. Instead of a block of either black or white, the whole situation can be considered a grey zone.

“I am going to take you to a place we call the downtown area. Things might not be as prosperous as the places we have visited but you will find out its charm soon enough.” Gary said smugly.

I smiled too.

I noticed that underneath Gary’s words, an excitement that was difficult to explain was brewing.

It was not the excitement he had when he was showing me around the places Zera city had to offer.

This emotion was strange and morbid.

A dark glint flashed through my eyes.

It seemed Gary was ready to play his cards.

I smiled again.

The hunter was going to become the prey soon but it would be without – his knowledge.

I continued to follow him and I behaved as if I did not know that he was up to something shady.

The downtown area was like he described.

Most people I saw did not have clothing’s made out of the same material. the other people at the heart of the city wore.

Nonetheless, there was still numerous sellers and buyers.

The place was as hectic as the city center.

It seemed money was really important and it was clear that I might not be able to get a roof over my head if I did not have money.

Gary led me towards an alleyway.

-I did not follow.

“There seemed to be nothing there. Where are you taking me?” I said.

I planned to beat Gary at his own game and to do that, I have to bring. my acting skills to the table.

If my behavior was too gullible, Gray might be frightened off.

There was still a possibility that he would go ahead with his plan even if I

acted like a gullible person.

I could see that Gary was greedy.

His hot gaze had always strayed between my pups and me.

He was reminding me of the Dark Dome organization that kidnaps werewolves and humans to sell as slaves to the highest bidder.

Gary must have pictured me as a soft prey.

I scanned myself.

I looked like a soft prey.

I was a solitary woman with three babies.

My forehead had a ‘bully me‘ sign written there.

His gaze made me uncomfortable but I bore with it.

I might have left the omega warriors but I was still part of them in my heart.

I was not an hero.

I would not vow to eliminate all the bad people or things on this earth. Still, any evil I personally experienced have to be brought to justice. If I let Gary go, I would feel uncomfortable.

It was better to have a clean heart so I would eliminate evil when I can. All these little evils might not count now that everywhere was peaceful and tranquil but when war break out, it would be like putrefying sores. It might affect the upcoming war so I had to do all I can.

Gary clenched his fists before loosening them.

“There is a good restaurant there that I want to show you. Don’t worry, we are only going to window shop, I don’t have much money with me.” Gary said with a joke.

I smiled.

was

I had to. He trying his best to lure me but in my eyes, it was like a clown was dancing about in a circus.

“Okay. I thought you were bringing me to a less populated place so you can do bad things to me.” I said lightly.

A dark look flitted across his face for a moment before he broke into smiles.

His facade was clean but his insides was dirty.

He reminded me of Fredo.

A prime example of how the insides of a person can differ greatly from their outside image.

“Haha. Why would you joke with something like that? I would never do that.” Gary said before he led the way.

I matched his footsteps.

When we got to a place that had a sparse population, Gary’s smiley face changed into an expressionless one.

The only people on the street was two male werewolves and a humán female.

Gary turned to me, “You should have excaped when we were about to enter this alleyway.”

His words were dark and chilly.

I pretended to not get what he hinted at.

Gary must have a few rolls of money in hand. He was my ticket to getting a roof over my head and my way to get hot food.

Thad to indulge his fantasy a little.

“Haha.” He laughed.

His laugh was not as airy and light as it had been before.

“You brought me here for nefarious purposes!” I pretended to discover his change in shock.

My kids might get in the way of the fight I was going to have so I dropped. them in the floor.

I felt bad for dropping them on the hard floor but I had no choice.

No matter how good I am at fighting, I can not do battle with three children clinging to me.

It would be impossible.

Besides, I was fighting for our survival.

Thankfully, my pups weren’t human kids. Dropping them would be more dangerous than it is now.

I put the kids in a corner that had a shade hanging over it.

“You just realized it now? Bad for you, good for us!” Gary said, “Guys

attack!”

I was not able to wrap my head around the ‘us‘ he said before he gave the order to attack.

The three pedestrians that remained on the street swarmed towards me. I realized what had been tugging at me.

Since Gary and I arrived, these people hadn’t left.

I did not understand how they could not cover the short distance that would get them out of this alleyway.

It turns out they were accomplices.

Still, I was not afraid.

The two male werewolves had scars on their faces that told of their valiancy and ardor.

The human female stood a short distance away. She began hurling stones.

at me.

I frowned.

She was going to be a great disturbance in the upcoming fight.

I beckoned for Gary and the two male werewolves to come.

They better give me a good fight.

It seemed like my muscles needs some stretching today.
