The Lycan King’s Rejected Soulmate

Chapter 26

Avery

After I finished dancing and singing, it was time for the massage.

Fredo looked at me expectantly.

I coughed awkwardly, “You don’t have to remove your clothes. The massage is better with clothes on.”

I wasn’t sure Fredo believed what I said. What I said was a blatant lie.

Aria taught us massaging, dancing and other similar skills because she wanted us to be able to keep our patrons in the palms of our hands.

She wanted us to be able to continuously attract our patrons‘ attention through these seductive skills.

Ultimately, every skill seemed to lead to the conclusion of having a passionate night with our patrons.

I walked towards the bed like I was going to my execution ground.

I had agreed to do this but my agreement didn’t make it any easier to do it.

Fredo had closed his eyes.

I began my massage.

Fredo’s skin was heated and mesmerizing but to me, his skin felt like the mouths of a thousand ants.

“If this is how you want to do my massage, I think it is best we sleep together instead. You did not do well in the dance and now, you want to do this massage halfheartedly.” Fredo said and motivation seemed to come out of nowhere.

Massaging is better than having a sexual connection with Fredo.

I would pick massaging over spending a night with Fredo anytime.

I tried all my best to give Fredo the best massage I could offer.

I continued to knead his muscles and flesh till I couldn’t feel my hands anymore. Fredo had to let me go when I couldn’t move my hands and fingers.

I did not allow him to call Beatrice.

I did not want Beatrice to lead me back.

I used my memory to find my way back to the building Fredo kept his slave girls. Except the girls that were locked up inside iron cages, Diana and Sika were the only ones sitting outside the building that houses the girls.

It seemed like they were enjoying the moon.

I was tired but I still greeted both of them.

16.31

Diana rushed up to me and she observed me closely

“Why are you behaving like this?” I asked.

“Why are you here?” Diana did not answer my question and she asked a question in return.

I didn’t get what she was talking about because of my tired brain but what she meant came to me later.

It looks like every new arrival has to spend their first night with Fredo aka Mr. Drake so it came as shock to Daiana that I was still able to come to my room. “Fredo allowed me to leave.” Ljust gave Diana a simple explanation.

I did not have the strength to begin explaining how I won this chance for myself. Besides, I was special.

I don’t think any girl would be able to try what I did and succeed.

Even as I regarded myself as a special sort of person to Fredo, I was still walking on tightropes as I interacted with him.

Any girl that tries what I did might fail terribly.

Diana’s face turned into a colorful shade.

“Did you just call Mr. Drake Fredo?” She asked,

Although she tried to keep her voice down, she still failed.

Doors opened one after the other and some girls came out to see what caused the noise.

Sika’s jealousy filled the atmosphere.

I rubbed my head.

Right now, all I wanted was a quiet space.

I wanted to rest and think of countermeasures to tackle Fredo.

Diana spoiled my plans.

“Who called Mr. Drake Fredo?” A girl asked but Diana was still in shock no she didn’t say a word in reply.

Sika kept her mouth shut. I knew she would not say anything that would highlight my good qualities because she was envious of me.

I did not reply too.

I saved myself the stress.

These girls would still arrive at the correct conclusion later. It was only a matter of time.

I was the only new girl here.

When something that hadn’t happened before crops up, I was the most likely

suspect.

I was the only one that has a higher chance of calling Mr. Drake his name. Diana shifted nearer to me.

I did not know she could get any closer but she surprised me.

“You are very favored. Only Mr. Drake’s pampered younger sister gets to enjoy that privilege.” Diana whispered but everyone heard her because everybody was straining their ears to listen to any words that was spoken.

So Fredo had a younger sister.

I looked at her in askance.

Diana did not need me to ask questions. My look was already enough for her and she began to explain.

“Mr. Drake’s younger sister is the apple of his eyes.” Diana pointed at the girls in the iron cages, “You see those girls, most of them are there because they offended Miss Freya”

“If Mr. Drake is regarded as a god here, Miss Freya is the second god here.” Annette said and all the girls nodded.

The place Fredo kept his girls was demarcated by a gate that separated this area from the main mansion body.

The gate flung open with excessive force and everybody eyes turned to the spot simultaneously.

A pretty lady strutted through the gate.

She didn’t even glance at the building that we are all in front of.

She just went straight to the area the iron cages were.

The girls that were imprisoned inside those iron cages had a numb face on but when the lady appeared, fear clouded their features.

In contrast to those fearful girls, glee was on the face of the new arrival.

The glee on her face was almost demonic.

Chills ran down my spine.

Burly bodyguards rushed in through the gate and the gate made creaking noise. The two bodyguards were dressed in black and their faces was stern. It was as if everybody on earth owed them a million dollars.

The bodyguards were strong werewolves. I could feel their strength from their

presence.

“Get her out.” The lady pointed at one imprisoned girl with dirty brown hair. The bodyguards whipped out a key and used it to release the girl from the iron cage.

The girl that was imprisoned must have hated her cage but as the bodyguards tried to bring her out of the cage, she held onto the bars with all her strength.

She tried her best to stall the two bodyguards but it didn’t work out. The strength of the two bodyguards is greater than her own so they were able go drag her to the lady that barged in. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

The lady revealed her whip.

The whip was black and barbed. It looked ferocious.

The two bodyguards forced the girl to kneel before the lady.

“No! No! No!” The kneeling girl kept shaking her head and screaming in fear.

“I thought you are going to be Mrs Drake, why are you locked up now?” The lady gloated before swinging her whip.

The whip smacked against the kneeling girl’s face and a bloody mark marred her face.

“I’m sorry. I am sorry.” The girl’s screams of fear turned into ones of apology.

The change was disturbing and eerie.

All the girls standing outside the building took a collective breath in.

I scanned the girls surrounding me.

Fear was the dominant emotion on their faces.

The girls that had faces which doesn’t reveal their emotions showed hints of fear in their posture and body language.

This lady that just arrived seemed to be powerful.

I already have a guess on who she might be.

I was just confused by her hate for these girls.

“She is Miss Freya.” Diana could not keep the fear from her voice as she confirmed my suspicions.

At her words, the lady turned her head towards us immediately.

She must have caught the words Diana tried to whisper.

It was hard for sound not to travel.

After Miss Freya came in, all the chattering and noise stopped. Everywhere became as silent as a graveyard.

Diana wasn’t able to keep her words a secret because sound echoed more in the silent and expansive space around.

Miss Freya’s hard stare settled onto me and my heart dropped.

Her gaze was filled with hate and anger when she saw my face.

I was in the dark about her reason to torment this girls but after locking eyes with her, I understood.

Miss Freya was in love with her elder brother.

I think these girls had noticed this fact but they still hoped to be Mrs Drake.

The dream of filling the position of Mrs Drake was as far as the sea of stars because Miss Freya would be their main obstacle.

For love, Miss Freya would stop them from becoming her brother’s wife with all her might.

These girls won’t be able to handle Miss Freya when she goes all out.

These girls were barking up the wrong tree.

The position of Mrs Drake might not be possible to obtain but the position of Miss Freya’s maid was open.

My mind began to twirl with plans.

I quickly ran to Miss Freya and I knelt down.

I did not exhibit any of the arrogance I displayed to Fredo.

I tried to be as humble as possible.

“Miss Freya, I didn’t know you would be so beautiful. If you claim to be second best in terms of looks, nobody would dare to claim first.” I said enthusiastically.

I was going to use Miss Freya as my escape route.
