The Lycan King’s Rejected Soulmate

Chapter 30

Avery

Preparing the food had taken hours and the time the food finished cooking fit nicely into everybody’s evening schedules.

I looked out of the small window that was present in the kitchen.

The sun was already on its way back home.

I gave Diana the food I had specially separated.

I indicated Sika’s food.

“If anybody eats this food instead of Sika, the person should be ready to deal with the consequences.” I warned Diana and she nodded with a complicated expression on her face.

She should have gotten the gist of the whole matter. My words had made it very clear that something was wrong with Sika’s food.

She left the kitchen after she received their portion of food.

I let Diana leave because I didn’t need them here anymore.

Aside for the help Diana and her friends gave me, I wanted them to be here in the kitchen so they could confuse the prying sights of these cooks.

Now, I have successfully poisoned the food. I didn’t need to stress them out anymore.

The cooks began taking the food in portions to their respective owners.

I watched them go.

I did not disturb them as they took the food to the people in the mansion and I did not stop them when they delivered food to the girls in the outer area.

However, I had to make a move when they began delivering food to the guards watching the gate.

I wanted to know the placement of the guards and how to reach the main entrance and gate.

I stopped the first cook I could grab.

“Let me help you.” I requested but the cook shook his head like a rattle drum.

“Don’t worry, you are not stressing me. I can’t just slack off because I was the one to cook the meal.” I explained before taking a few things off his tray.

I followed him as he went to give the guards their food.

As we walked, I imprinted every hallway and path we passed into my memory. I was going to use the directions very soon.

We turned entered an hallway that would lead us to the main entrance.

Fredo was there at the entrance.

He was leaning on the wall.

“Why did I have a feeling that I would see you if I stayed here?” Fredo asked as he fixed his eyes on me.

I felt uncomfortable by his gaze.

I knew he was feeling suspicious about me but there was nothing I could do.

I had to make this escape attempt. I had to leave here.

I would not just abandon my plans to run away because I feel Fredo is suspicious of me.

Me staying here was never an option for me.

I can’t share my man with other women. I don’t want to fight for the position of Mrs Drake with these girls Fredo bought.

I can’t begin to struggle for Fredo’s affections with his blood sister.

There was no advantage in being together with Fredo. Glaring disadvantages are all that remain.

I don’t want to be in this place at all.

Besides, I would never imagine someone like Fredo as my future partner.

“Why should I know the answer to that? What you think isn’t part of the things that concerns me.” I retorted as i tried to walk past him.

He stopped leaning on the wall and he approached me like an hunter stalking a prey.

Fredo did not care that there was a third party here.

I could see that the way I talked to Fredo surprised the cook. The shock on the cook’s face was very obvious.

“It should be part of your concerns because it would be dangerous for you to interact with me if I find you doing something you are not supposed to be doing.” Fredo said and chill ran down my spine at his blatant threat.

I knew he might suspect that I wanted to escape today. I had no choice but to go ahead anyway.

His words were warning me. He was implicitly telling me to let go of my thoughts of running away.

Fredo stepped back, “I am leaving the mansion to do something. Get yourself ready for me. Come to my bedroom immediately I call for you.”

I laughed.

It was a laugh that came out of my lips because of extreme anger.

The arrogant way Fredo was speaking with annoyed me.

In the midst of my annoyance, happiness rose slowly.

16.34

The percentage of me getting away from this place increased if Fredo isn’t around.

Although I felt like his words and actions was a trap laid out for me, I was still joyful..

After dropping those words, he exited the mansion through the main gate.

I watched him leave before I and the cook continued our mission of delivering food.

The cook kept darting glances at me and his face had worship on it.

I wasn’t flattered by the apparent worship he showed, I knew everything that happened here would reach Miss Freya’s ears and I would become her number

one enemy.

Miss Freya would obviously dislike anybody that has her brother’s favor.

The cook had observed me talking back to Fredo with no consequence. The way I spoke to him should have hinted at the different way Fredo treats me.

The cook would use me as a way to gain Miss Freya’s favor.

All.my efforts would be destroyed once Miss Freya learns of what happened here.

I do not want her to know what had occurred here but I have no choice but to let the cook snitch even if I knew his future actions in advance.

The cook was a beta and I was an omega.

Our strength wasn’t on the same wavelength before.

Because the moon goddess had empowered my physique, I would have been able to silence the cook if I wasn’t weakened continuously by the armband on my wrist.

Right now, I would not be able to do anything to him because I had the armband

on me.

The thing I have to do is pray for him not to be a daring fellow. I don’t want him to overpower me and then bring me to Miss Freya to handle.

Thankfully, the cook did not try to do anything to me. The only thing he did was staring at me with passionate eyes.

After I helped that cook deliver food, I went back to the building Fredo keeps his girls.

I rested a little before I came out of my room.

Groans of discomfort rang in the sprawling building.

I smiled.

The laxative and the residue from the armband were at work.

The food should have already digested by now and the people inside and outside this mansion would be weakened.

“Avery! Were are you going?” Diana dashed out of her room and questioned me.

Her face was set in a serious state.

I looked back at her, “Didn’t you figure it out?”

Even as I tried to keep everything from Diana, I had a feeling she would eventually come to the correct conclusion.

If she wasn’t a smart lady, she would be among those poor girls locked inside iron

cages.

Diana would not have been able to adapt to this place if she did have her wits around her.

“You did all those things nobody had dared to try because you want to leave this place.” Diana’s words wasn’t a question, it was an affirmation of what she knew was

true.

I nodded.

“Don’t try to run away. The results of that action is too dire.” Diana advised with a pained expression on her face.

I sighed, “Thank you for looking out for me. I really appreciate your feelings but I have to leave. This place is not for me.”

I understood Diana’s concerns but I still have to follow my decision to leave this place. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

“Go back to your room. I don’t want you to be implicated by results of my own actions.” I said before I went through the demarcating gate.

I did not want any of the girls occupying the building to see me.

Thankfully, they are occupied with the laxatives I put in their food.

I weaved through the hallways and paths in the mansion with ease. I made sure I remembered every place and paths I have visited in the mansion.

My action of imprinting wherever I have been to came in handy at this moment. It would have been humiliating if I got lost on my way to escape.

All the guards watching over Fredo’s mansion were of the werewolves‘ race so they had all be poisoned with the substance in my armband that was similar to wolfsbane.

I knew the poison would have a drastic effect on these guards.

I was only wearing the armband on my wrist and I was already weakened to this

extent.

The guards that had ingested the substance the armband was made of would have it worse.

Some guards had passed out from the food poisoning but one man was still awake.

He clutched his stomach in pain as he tried to stop my advance.

All I did was give him a kick and he joined the rest of his companions in a fitful blackout.

I searched the body of some of the collapsed guards for keys to the main gate. After I found the key, I opened the gate and I began to run.

I had limited time.

I don’t know when Fredo would be back or if he really left the mansion.

I had to use the time I had wisely.
