Chapter 44
Avery
I was teleported to the entrance of the omega warriors‘ camp. It was the place we had stayed when we performed the teleportation.
I went inside the camp.
I could see omega warriors training their martial prowess and skills as I passed by.
I did not stop to ask anybody anything. I just went straight to the huge
square
I did not ask around for where Yuri’s house is located. I did not try find Mia either.
I just wanted to be alone for a while.
My mind went back to the hasty escape I did.
Mates and mate bonds was a sore spot for me.
I went through a rejection once. There is no guarantee that I would not run mad if I experience a second rejection.
I should have been settled.
The moon goddess had already told me that my second chance mate was a compensation for my horrible first rejection.
Still, I could not bring myself to take the risk.
I don’t think I would be able to deal with the aftermath of another terrible rejection.
I did not want to even attempt trying to get close to second chance mate.
The moon goddess had said that it was highly unlikely that I would experience a second rejection but even if she is a goddess who have tremendous powers, some mortals might act out of her expectations. What I did was cowardly but I could not help it.
I had to leave.
I knew the case was half finished. It wasn’t finished when I left.
What I did was highly unprofessional.
I knew questions would be awaiting me when Yuri, Jaila and Rita returns. Since I have joined the omega warriors, I would interact with them
truthfully.
I would make sure I answer their queries honestly.
Mia might be a little angry at me because of my desertion.
I smiled.
I would be getting a earful today.
Mia reminded me of my mother.
Her scoldings don’t matter. When it comes to the love and unity between my mother and I, she was the best.
I was getting the same and vibes from Mia.

I felt pity for my second chance mate.
He should have been like me.
Either I was his first mate or his second chance mate.
If I was his first mate, I could imagine the pain I was causing him by fleeing from him.
If I was his second chance mate, I was supposed to be his consolation and motivation for moving on.
Fleeing from him was a very bad thing to do but emotions are strange. things.
I was selfish.
No matter how I sympathize with my second chance mate, I was still going to escape when I see him.
Since we have not started forging the bonds of our love, I was able to put myself first in all my decisions.
I felt sorry for him but my emotional state matters.
I am sure he would not want to have a deranged omega as a mate.
Besides, love was not on my agenda for the coming years. My pups were my top priority.
At the thought of my second chance mate, my mind could not help but stray to the thoughts of the father of my pups.
I was torn between them.
On one side was the person I lost my virginity to and on the other side. was the second chance mate that the moon goddess provided for me. Compared to my second chance mate, I had a better impression of the
stranger I spent a passionate night with.
His effects on me was strong.
When I was performing my dance, I had visualized the leering patrons as the stranger I spent a lovely night with.
Imagining he was there made it easier for me to give out my best. performance in the auction.
His effects had helped me in many ways.
I was even debating within myself. I was scared he was not looking for me and I did not want him to have a female shewolf by his side.
My emotions for him can be considered strong.
In comparison, my second chance mate had automatically gotten a bad label for me.
After my rejection, the eyes I was using to look at mates and mate bonds. was biased.
I would rather choose a lifelong partner myself.
At least I would have gotten to know the man’s character well.
Mate bonds might be good for other people but in this life, I think mates might not be fated with me.
I was traumatized.
I don’t know if I would be able to recover from this.
Although I have a good impression of the father of my pups, I was still going to make him go through a good vetting procedure, before he can qualify as my mate.
On the other hand, my second chance mate had a lower starting point. I might not even give him the opportunity to get close to me. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Through the mate bond, I knew my second chance mate was very powerful.
All those powerful males don’t like their mates running away from them. He had probably discovered my identity as an omega warrior.
Even if he discovered my identity, I was not going to escape from him. again.
At most, I would just avoid contact with him.
This time was going to be the first and last time I would leave when a
mission is still halfway done.
If fates dictate that we would meet again, we would encounter each other and if destiny says that this unsuccessful meeting was the last time we would ever meet, I don’t mind.
If we meet, I planned to treat him like everybody else.
Although the mate bond would not make it easy for me, I was willing to try.
A female warrior approached me.
“Mia is looking for you.” The female warrior said and I stood up from my sitting position.
I did not need to even ask where Mia was. The female warrior was already leading the way.
We arrived at the ancestral hall. It was the place I appeared when the moon goddess brought me here.
Mia was in the same position I met her when I had arrived newly at the omega warriors‘ camp.
She was sitting down but her eyes weren’t closed this time.
There was another person sitting down beside Mia.
It was Yuri.
She was back.
Mia gestured for me to sit down and I sat. The female warrior that brought me here bowed to Mia before taking her leave.
I took a deep breath.
The intense questioning is at hand.
“Yuri said you performed very well in the first half of the case but you requested to be teleported back to the omega camp before you can complete the second.” Mia prompted.
It seemed Yuri had explained everything to her.
“Avery. Since you are here, you have to follow the rules I have set down. I don’t care if you are the next messiah or something.” Mia did not wait for me to reply her words before continuing.
“Rules are the foundation of our world. Imagine if you were the only one. that was dispatched for this mission. Is that how you would have left halfway? Will you just leave those that need your help?” Mia questioned.
Her face showed her unhappiness.
I bowed my head.
I knew what I did was not ideal but I followed the effects of my emotions.
“I am sorry. It won’t happen again.” I apologized.
Mia’s face cleared up.
She was clearly happy that I apologized first before explaining the reason behind my actions.
“Why did you leave halfway?” Mia asked, “Yuri said the Lycan king that appeared was looking for you.”
My head twirled and for a moment, I felt dizzy.
My second chance mate was the lycan king?
This revelation was too sudden.
My mate was the famous and ruthless lycan king Dante?
I did not expect this when the moon goddess said my second chance mate was a consolation for me.
She had repeatedly told me that I had a high chance to be a pampered wife but I did not know my mate was this illustrious.
It was shocking.
Although I knew my mate was powerful from the undulations I got from the mate bond, I did not know he was this powerful.
The courting of a lycan king was not something I can withstand.
Although I had vowed within myself that I would treat my second chance mate as a normal person, I knew lycan king Dante would not agree.
It seemed I would have to take missions that makes sure I don’t cross paths with the ruthless lycan king.
From Yuri’s expression, I knew the lycan king had to be searching for me seriously.
I have not heard of the lycan king having a mate before so I was his first mate. I could understand why he was pursuing me.
I looked at Mia, “Before I came here, I experienced a rejection. It was a painful one and that rejection left a traumatic trace on me. I wanted. nothing to do with mates ever since.”
Both Mia and Yuri listened attentively.
“I even ingested a small amount of wolfsbane so I can dull my ability to sense my mate but its effects had faded away.” I continued.
Mia let out a gasp.
I could understand her shock.
My action might seem morbid and crazy.
Who doesn’t want a mate?
I was behaving out of the norm.
“I would rather spend my life with a man I have already observed. I did not want a second chance mate but fate would not have that.” A wistful smile was in my lips.
“I noticed my second chance mate was nearby so I fled cowardly. I am sorry.” I finished.
Mia patted my shoulder softly.
“I can understand your pain but you will have to meet him sooner or later. What will you do then?” Mia asked.
I smiled at her, “When that time comes, there would have been a
– solution. Now, I just want to request for my participation in missions that
would not have a chance of clashing with lycan king Dante.” I finally revealed my wish.
“I can not guarantee anything but I will try.” Mia promised before she closed her eyes in meditation.
Yuri and I took that as a cue to leave.
As I walked, I felt lighter.
For now, I will keep avoiding Lycan King Dante but I won’t shrink back if I encounter him.
Everything is going to be left in the hands of fate.
