The Lycan King’s Rejected Soulmate

Chapter 38

Avery

The alpha finally took us into his office. He didn’t say a word as he led us here.

The decorations used in adorning the office was low key and exquisite.

I did not care for the decorations of the office. Instead, the subject of my concern was the owner of the office.

Since we entered the office, I put all my focus on the alpha of this pack. Although he was giving superficial respect, I had a feeling that he was the kind of alpha that looked down on all omegas.

I did not confront him because we have no evidence yet.

Regardless of the presence or absence of things that could be used as evidence, I still suspected the alpha of shady dealings.

I think it was the experience I had accumulated as I traveled towards the location of the omega warriors‘ camp.

I was starting to realize the wisdom the moon goddess had showed by letting me try to travel the distance myself instead of teleporting me straight to the omega warriors‘ camp.

The alpha howled and moments later, someone knocked on the office door.

The alpha instructed them to come in and the people outside came in with four chairs.

The chair was made from a soft material.

“Please sit.” The alpha said and we all sat down.

The alph

didn’t sit down on the huge chair behind his desk, he leaned on the desk instead.

I was still watching him.

Regardless of what I felt about him, the alpha was still maintaining a balance with the omega warriors.

He was slick.

Even when he asked us to sit, he didn’t take his seat. It can be considered the highest tier of respect possible.

He didn’t offend us and he didn’t step out of line.

I sighed.

I was a little biased.

For this alpha’s sake, I wished I was wrong about him.

It was a little unfair for me to sentence him because he gave me the same kind of aura Fredo gave.

I made up my mind to judge this case with fairness.

The moon goddess would not want me to judge a case unfairly because of my personal feelings.

If this alpha had skeletons in his closet, I was going to find them and if he didn’t have any shady secrets, I was going to leave him alone.

Although experience was good, I can’t judge every person that made me uncomfortable with the effects other bad people left on me.

I remembered Sadie, my best friend. She was a good person.

I should always remember that there are good people and there are also bad people.

Not everyone was bad.

We settled down in our seats.

“My name is Philip.” The alpha introduced and we all nodded as acknowledgement.

None of us mentioned our names.

“Tell us more about the kidnapping case. More details would be best.” Yuri said.

The alpha paused, “What should I address you as?”

“Just call us warriors.” Yuri replied and alpha Philip smiled.

“For a few weeks now, some of my pack members went missing. When we investigated, we found traces of rogues.” He began and the expression of everybody except alpha Philip changed.

Rogues are werewolves without a pack.

I was a rogue too.

Being a rogue shewolf made me understand that not all rogues are evil. As I grew up, all my knowledge hinted at rogues being bad criminals. I had grown up and my outlook on rogues had improved but I knew that

even if some rogues are good, the same can’t be said for the rest of the majority.

I would never harm my fellow werewolf if they didn’t deserve it.

I believed that some rogues were forced out of their packs because of necessity or bullying.

Taking me for example, if alpha Bryan had not tried to sell me to alpha Jake, I would still remain in the Silver Crescent pack.

I knew what being a rogue entailed.

A rogue would always live their life with a stigma on their back.

It is like this situation now..

At the mention of rogues, my mind had already started envisioning the worst possibilities that can happen.

It was why I would have stayed at my former pack if they hadn’t forced me to the wall.

The Silver Crescent Pack might not be the best place to grow up but it was a little safe.

-It would have been better than me roaming about with no place as my

anchor.

I heard that some packs might kill rogues on sight without considering their backstories.

I did not blame those packs. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

The reputation of rogues were at rock bottom.

Everyone considers rogues as those werewolves without a pack that commits all kinds of atrocities.

It had been a kind of unspoken knowledge that had been passed down.

Even if some rogues wished to join other packs, the packs hesitate to take them in

Rogues were foreign beings.

It would be hard to trust rogues because they aren’t native to the pack they want to join.

The chance of a rogue fitting seamlessly in a new pack is very low.

Their existence would be like a human trying to walk on a steel string. Their lives can flip over to the bad side anytime.

Even if some rogues joins a pack, the way the pack members would

interact with the werewolf might not be as good as the treatment they would give a pack member that grew up with them.

They might even antagonize the rogue.

All these things are what rogues would consider before joining a pack.

I considered these things too so I decided to find a human city to settle in when I ran away from the Silver Crescent Pack.

It was the moon goddess that changed the course of my fate.

Alpha Philip savored the expressions on our face.

“Yes, we found traces of rogues. These traces give us the certainty that rogues perpetuated this evil act.” He finished.

“Have you been able to use the traces to track them down?” I asked.

This case hit me at a sore spot.

I feel like all the cases I would take on as an omega warrior would hit me at a sore spot because it angers me when other werewolves do bad deeds.

Did these werewolves block their emotions? How can they feel nothing when they harm the other creatures of their race?

The moon goddess created both the werewolves and themlycans out if love.

I don’t know why her creations refused to emulate her love.

Having a little bit of love in them would change everything.

Alpha Philip shook his head, “The traces we foumd led us nowhere. The rogues did a good job. We didn’t want to contact you before but the situation was getting out of hand. We had to seek for help.”

This situation was tricky.

I had to go over all the information I have. I did not forget the uncomfortable feeling alpha Philip gave me.

I was taking everything into consideration.

I don’t know if I was being too suspicious but I felt like it was impossible for the works the rogues did to be so neat.

For it to end in a cold trail, there had to be someone assisting them and that person was a pack member.

The person would be in a prominent position too.

I looked up, “What about the other packs?”

“The other two packs are smaller than my pack but their members were the first ones to go missing.” Alpha Philip said.

“They had visited me so I can lend them my help but I refused. I told them to solve their problems themselves. I didn’t know it would happen to my pack too. If I knew, I would have assisted them.” Alpha Philip explained and I rolled my eyes.

What happened to alpha Philip can be taken as karma.

Regardless of alpha Philip’s words, I felt the situation was still fishy and unclear.

On the surface, there was no loopholes in alpha Philip’s words but it was this fact that made me suspicious.

I wasn’t going to take alpha Philip’s words as the entire truth.

We have to perform an investigation on our own.

Everybody lie.

Some lies might be unintentional because of the way a person remembers the previous happenings but this can’t happen in this case. Remembering things wrongly can only happen to humans. Werewolves don’t suffer from this because their physique is better than the ones humans have.

All werewolves have retentive memory so any lie that comes out of a werewolf’s mouth is intentional.

I did not want to doubt alpha Philip because I had been biased towards him since I came but I had to consider the vibes he was giving off. To me, he seemed power hungry.

I knew he was the one that would have decided against contacting the omega warriors.

If the situation had not gone out of the limits of his control, he would not have called for us.

I felt like it was the families of the kidnapped people and other pack members that pressured alpha Philip into getting help.

“We would like to see the families that lost people. We would also like to see the traces left behind by those rogues.” I requested and alpha Philip smiled before he nodded.

His smile gave me a weird feeling.

It was as if he is confident that we would not be able to get anything out

of our investigation.

I had leaned forward when I was telling alpha Philip my request so I went back to my initial position.

I had not given Yuri the space to talk to alpha Philip.

I felt sorry for my frowardness.

I wasn’t doing this to try and gain the favor of the omega warriors that came with me.

I was just following my feelings and principles.

I was supposed to watch as Yuri handled the case but Ì involved myself directly instead.

I looked at Yuri.

Yuri’s stone cold face broke to reveal a smile.

It was then I knew that it didn’t matter if I was froward or not.

My fellow warriors didn’t mind.

They weren’t like other people I have seen.

There was no jealousy or anger.

At that moment, I felt a warm feeling surge through me.
