Six weeks later, the royal wedding took place, and it was the largest wedding in Lycan and werewolf history...because werewolves were never invited to a Lycan’s wedding, let alone the Lycan King and Queen’s wedding.
In the confinement units of prison, the police once again tied each Kylton to a chair and placed the same televisions from the coronation day in each of their units, courtesy of the King. They taped the heiress’s mouth after her first scream this time.
Xandar decided that he would use the short period of time after the wedding and before the honeymoon to tell Lucianne about forcing the Kyltons to watch her coronation and their wedding. He didn’t tell her when he sent out the order because he didn’t want Lucianne to blink her doe eyes and talk him out of doing what he wanted to do. It wasn’t as if he
Tears trickled from the corners of Lucianne’s eyes as the congregation clapped when Xandar came to the end of his wedding vows. Most of the women found it so heartfelt that they were already all teared-up. Even Christian pressed away the tears from his own eyes.After Xandar’s thumb wiped away his mate’s tears on her face, Lucianne cleared her throat and began reciting her vows which went through infinite drafts before this day, “Xandar, when we met, I was so blinded by my past that I almost gave up the best thing that was presented to me. You’ve always expressed how lucky you felt to be bonded to me but from the way I see it, I’ve been the lucky one.”“You asked me for a chance, a chance to show me that you’re different but you’re not just different, dearest. The way you lo
Dear readers,We’ve come to the end of “The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King”. I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you who has given this book a chance, and for following through to the very end.I hope you can spare a few minutes to rate this novel and write a review here and on Goodreads. And hopefully, you liked the story enough to drop a Gem or two (or more) :)When I started typing away on my iPad, I told myself that I wanted to give readers not just a story, but an experience. I wanted the characters to be felt, not just imagined. I hope that some of the characters have inspired you, and touched your heart in more ways than one. Perhaps you’ve even developed a crush in the course of the story XDThat being said, and without giving too much away, I hope that:i) Lucianne has exemplified strength, resilience, self-worth, and has shown you the upside of opening up to new possibilities;ii) Xandar has exemplified how important it is to let those
“Would you like to do it, your Highness, or should I?” She looked at the Lycan King indifferently, whose lilac eyes of affection were suddenly intruded by confusion. “Wh-what do you mean?” He asked as he tried to concentrate on the beautiful voice of the woman in front of him, his mate. He was here for a meet-and-greet session that he dreaded. The worst thing was that this session among Alphas, Lunas and their Gammas from every pack in existence was to last for the entire night! ‘Why couldn’t they just skip this night and officially start the one-month collaboration tomorrow?’, the King thought to himself every year. She raised her eyebrows as she studied his expression, “Huh. You do look genuinely confused.” His eyebrows furrowed, confused and irritated now, “Again, w
As soon as they were out of the building, Xandar asked, “Why didn’t you sleep last night?” “Border duty.” She answered simply. “How is it that you had border duty the night before you were bound to travel?” “The available members were either sick or had a family to look after. I didn’t want to flip anyone’s schedules upside down over this so I stood in place.” She shrugged. Her selfless answer exuded the nobility of a Queen, his Queen. But something still bothered him. “Lucianne, why were you uncomfortable when your Alpha gave you credit for last year’s success? Why didn’t you just thank him and accept the praise?” She snorted, and looked him dead
Lucianne got out of bed at 4 a.m., brushed her teeth, dressed up and grabbed a bag with a water bottle before making her way to the ground floor and exited the building through the backdoor. She jogged to the nearby forest behind the hotel and stripped behind a tree. After placing her clothes in her bag, she shifted. Her white wolf with sapphire eyes had an unusual feature - a striped tail of white and grey. She never knew why. She scoured through any book she could find on the oddities of werewolves but there was nothing on striped tails. Those who had seen her form always pointed out this peculiarity of hers. Some said she had an unknown gift; others said she was cursed. It never bothered her in terms of functionality so she just shrugged off these comments. When her paws hit the grassy ground, she held onto her bag in her
They continued their meal. Then, Cummings came around the table with the two who followed him. Xandar was speaking to Alpha Juan but when he noticed Lucianne’s eyes wandered to the side, he turned to see the minister standing before them sheepishly. “Forgive our intrusion, your Highness. May we sit with you? Perhaps we’ll take this opportunity to make amends for my poor behavior earlier.” The King smirked. “That’s not for me to decide, I’m afraid.” He looked at Alpha Juan and said, “Alpha Juan, the discretion is yours and your Luna’s. I have no qualms even if the minister’s presence is refused.” Alpha Juan’s gaze turned gentle when he asked his Luna, “What do you think, baby?” Xandar envied how sweet the couple before him was. He could only hope that he’ll be allowed t
Sebastian’s eyes were filled with regret and longing as he looked at her. She wanted to ignore him and continue walking but he grabbed her wrist as he pleaded, “Lucy, please let me explain.” “Don’t call me that!” Lucianne’s eyes burned with rage as she took her hand back with force. “Lucianne,” he pleaded again, his eyes glistening as she called out her name. “Lucy, is there a problem?” Alpha Juan just exited the restroom, and Luna Hale was only two steps behind him. Lucianne assured, “Juan, I can handle this. You and Hale go on in. I’ll be there in a bit.” Alpha Juan looked hard at Sebastian, and his Luna felt uncertain about leaving her alone with him.
At tea, Lucianne, with Xandar by her side, introduced Luna Lyssa to Alpha Zeke from the Blood Eclipse Pack, and subsequently Luna Lovelace from the Midnight Pack. When Xandar left the room to answer a phone call, Lucianne chatted comically with Gamma Raden before she moved on to the refreshments table to get a drink. Just as she was about to take a sip, Sasha appeared with a cocky smirk right in front of her. “So, you’re the King’s mate.” She spat with immense distaste. Sasha made sure that the King was not in the room before she walked up to the plain, irksome-looking little Gamma. Lucianne shrugged and said, “That seems to be the case.” Sasha’s eyes scanned her from head to toe before she showed a disgusted expression. “A five-time rejected Gamma from a little wolf p

Yarrington caught the Queen before she fell, handing her to the King as soon as he reached her side. Xandar rushed her to Dr Yeil’s medical centre. Christian, Annie, the alliance, Ken and Janice all waited along the corridor outside the doctor’s room.Xandar was looking at his mate’s unconscious body on the examination table in dismay. He felt her blacking out from across the hall, and the next thing he knew, he was witnessing her petite figure falling before the Education Minister caught her in swift motion.Dr Yeil extracted some blood, and got one of his nurses to go have it analysed. Two minutes into the body examination with his second nurse, Lucianne let out a moan. Xandar rushed to her side without a second thought and asked frantically, “Baby. Baby, can you hear me?”
A week later, the wolves flew to Lycan territory again to attend Lucianne’s coronation. Every living creature from Blue Crescent flew over, and they left the safety of their pack to the warriors from an ally pack.Every Lycan and werewolf who wasn’t at the ceremony turned on their televisions or went online to watch the live broadcast, even the prisoners. Greg sat in the cafeteria with a few new friends he made, beaming as Lucianne’s face came on screen.In a separate prison, the Aphaels and Tanners stared at the screen with zero enthusiasm. Livia was the only one with a scorn when Lucianne’s face came into view.In each of their solitary confinement units, the Kyltons were barking expletives when the police brought in high resolution television
Lucianne sat up and held her breath, as did everyone else. On the side, Greg seemed like he couldn’t care less what happened to him but it did concern him that Lucianne looked worried. She shouldn’t be under any stress given how hard the past few weeks had already been for her. He was only stealing momentary glances of her before but he was finding it difficult to look away now, until his cousin threw him a glare.Greg rolled his eyes just to annoy his cousin one more time before reluctantly looking away. Lucianne felt Xandar’s jealousy, so she pecked a quick kiss on his jawline to calm her beast. Xandar’s face softened, and he closed his eyes to take a whiff of her hair, indulging in her scent.Judge Cook cleared his throat and continued reading the judgment, “By law, the Duke’s act of poisoning t
The next three weeks passed in a blur, with the Kyltons’, Aphaels’, Tanner’s and Greg’s lawyers trying their best to save their clients. Some of the arguments and rebuttals got so ridiculous that the judges held their heads like they were getting a migraine. One day before the verdict was scheduled to be delivered, every pack leader and Gamma boarded flights to the Kingdom and stayed over in hotels before making their way to court the next day.When the wolves saw each other in court, they embraced and chatted. The noise died down when the accused persons were brought into the courtroom. Almost everyone scowled at the Kyltons, Aphaels and Tanners, emitting low growls as they walked past with police escorts to be seated in the area designated for them. When Greg was brought in, however, no werewolf or Lycan made a sound. They
Ken’s face was still as hard as cold metal when he turned to Janice, and exploded, “I knew I should’ve killed Idris’s b*stard son when he looked at Lucy like she was a piece of meat! How dare he try to take my daughter’s choice from her!”Upon hearing that, the four of them holding their breaths relaxed visibly. He was mostly mad at Jake. Thank Goddess!“OUR daughter, dear.” Janice corrected her husband. She wasn’t comfortable after listening to the tale either.“Sick b*stard!” Ken spat. He then scowled at Juan and shouted, “And what the h*ll was Faint Moon’s doctors doing?! How could they not have enough blood on hand?!”Juan
At Blue Crescent, Lucianne dashed to the packhouse first while Xandar, Juan and Hale took a little more time. She wanted to butter-up her overprotective adoptive father before he met her mate. Ken and Janice didn’t live in this packhouse after retiring as Alpha and Luna but they stayed here for the past month to babysit the grandkids. Juan and Hale’s kids were still in school, so it was just the adults and the two servants in the house now.Ken was already waiting at the entrance when Lucianne ran into his open arms as she called out “Daddy!” like a little girl. After squeezing the girl he raised as his own, he managed a small smile and asked, “Buying brownie points for your mate, baby girl?”Lucianne showed her doe eyes and said, “Xandar is really nice, dad. And I really love him. Promise to
