2021-08-11 06:00:00Lucianne, Xandar and Christian skipped lunch in the dining hall for lunch at Christian’s home. Annie had wanted to meet Lucianne ever since Xandar first told Christian about finding his mate at the annual meet-and-greet.
The cousins and Lucianne herself really wanted to start digging into the audits, the real ones, so it sounded like lunch at the residence of the Duke and Duchess was the perfect plan. Lucianne was also concerned with how Ellia, Ben and the other two families were holding up, so when Xandar asked if she wanted to go, she didn’t hesitate to say yes.
Christian’s villa was about the same size as Xandar’s but the interior had more portraits. Xandar explained that Christian had been fascinated with art for as long as he could remember. His wife, Annie, loved flowers, which explained the colourful flower beds

Annie dropped her humour and reciprocated Lucianne’s serious demeanor, “They’re alright. But it’s always a worry when the kids are in school. Waiting for the time to pass, and just hoping that they’ll come home safely is pure torture.”“Let’s hope the case can be closed soon.” Lucianne said with furrowed brows. Suddenly, Lucianne felt her dress being gently tugged. She looked at the source, and her voice turned soft as she bent down to greet the little boy, “Hello, Russell. How was school today?”“Hello, Aunt Lucy.” He wrapped his little arms around Lucianne’s neck right after he said that. It didn’t matter how many times Russell hugged her, her heart would melt every

They sat at a huge dining table that the servants had to take out from the basement when the three families moved in. Ellia and Ben were happy to see Lucianne again. And Ellia introduced Lucianne to her assistants and their families. Brigetta Reese and her mate, Barton Reese were newlyweds, and had a six-month-old child named Beatrice. Oscar Wildrow was mateless for now, and lived with his sister, Olivia Wildrow. They all sat at the same table and ate the same food as the Duke and Duchess. Russell insisted that he sat with Lucianne. After knowing about Xandar’s jealousy, Lucianne made sure she stroked Xandar’s arm affectionately after she had given Russell any form of attention. Xandar’s animal beamed in pride whenever Lucianne touched him in front of so many people.When Lucianne asked the families wheth

Ellia and her assistants sorted out the audits in Christian’s study, explaining to them how it was arranged. And they started going through the stacks together. Russell somehow managed to convince his mother and Lucianne that he’ll be a good, quiet little boy doing his homework at a small corner table in the study while the adults around him worked. Xandar didn’t mind since he was far away enough from Lucianne.Since Ellia, Brigetta and Oliver were blackmailed into fabricating the audits without question, they never dared to scrutinize how the funds in the five people’s accounts were connected to each other. They were just told to change the figures so that the amounts resembled those of other government officials. In essence, the analysis on the real audits had to now start from scratch. After comparing the audits, they found a pattern in the incoming and outgoing

In the car, Xandar drove a bit before starting the conversation, “Lucy, Christian asked me to thank you.” Lucianne blinked in confusion, “For what?” Xandar explained sadly, “For not asking Annie why they don't have kids.” Lucianne then shrugged and said, “There’s no need to thank me for something like that. The absence of kids is only for two reasons. One is because they don’t want them, in which case, who am I to question their decision? Or two, it’s because…unfortunately, they can’t have them. If that’s the case, then why bring it up to hurt them even more?” Xandar laced his fingers with hers and kissed the back of her hand as he uttered, “You’re amazing.”

The family of three were wearing fake smiles as they bowed before them and said, “Your Highnesses. Your Grace.” Xandar, Christian and Lucianne bowed in return but the two cousins were trying to hatch an escape plan. Lucianne felt discomfort emanating from the two cousins but had no clue why. Xandar spoke first, his tone low and troubled, “Lord Kylton. Lady Kylton. To what do we owe the pleasure?” Lord Kylton said, “We received word that you’ve found your mate, and we wanted to convey our congratulations.” His Lordship spoke a little too loudly, as if to garner the attention of as many people as possible. Sure enough, many in the crowd had slowly stopped their conversations to look their way.

Lady Kylton’s husband and daughter looked at her in dismay and disappointment. The old woman blew up their carefully thought-out plan within seconds! Everyone in the dining hall looked at the family of three in disgust and disapproval. Her ladyship’s anger seemed to have blinded her from seeing that Lucianne was pushing her buttons, setting up a trap for her to walk right into. Both the cousins were seething with rage but their feet were rooted because Lucianne’s arms were stretched out in front of their bodies, blocking their way. But this didn’t stop them from growling murderously at the old woman. In the hall, many of the wolves and even some of the Lycans, who have grown to love and respect Lucianne, were also growling under their breaths as they

Back in the dining hall, Lucianne continued putting on a smile to ensure those around her that she was okay. But only Xandar and Juan could see that she was merely putting up a brave front. Juan didn’t bring up what he knew. Neither he nor Lucianne were comfortable breaking down in public. He hoped to mind-link her later that night, away from the crowd, just to make sure that she was okay. Lucianne was well aware that her brother-like figure saw right through her. And why wouldn’t he? He had known her forever. Xandar noticed that his mate was avoiding his gaze, and when he held her hand, her fingers didn’t respond as how they normally would. His consistently-whimpering animal wanted his human part to hold her and speak to her, to keep assuring her of his love for her. But his human part felt that his uncontrolled outbursts

Xandar’s heart cracked at the words ‘sad by myself’. When she started pulling up her covers and was about to slip the rest of her body under the sheets, he lifted her body up and placed her on his lap. After guiding her head to his chest, he muttered, “You don’t have to be sad by yourself, Lucy. You can be sad with me. We’ll get through this together. I love you, baby. It’s okay for you to break down in front of me. Please stop trying to hold everything back. Let it all out. Let it all out with me.”Lucianne couldn’t hold back any longer. She broke down with an anguished cry, and sobbed and sniffled in Xandar’s chest as she let the feelings of lack and unworthiness flow through her. Without allowing these emotions to pass through her being, she would never be free. The sensations would just build up and make her uncomfortable and dra

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
The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King Chapter 198
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

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
