2021-08-30 06:00:00Lucianne was surprised that Annie couldn’t detect the scent so she asked, “Don’t you smell it? There’s something pungent, like mercury, salt, granite and something else.”
Annie was even more confused, “What? Are you sure, Lucy? I only smell the gas from the exhaust of the cars around here.”
Lucianne was sure she wasn’t imagining the scent. She continued sniffing as she instinctively pulled Russell closer to her legs. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, a man emerged from behind one of the cars and threw a knife at a low level in Lucianne’s way. Lucianne saw him when the knife left his hand, and she reflexively pushed Russell towards Annie as the blade cut into her left leg. Lucianne screamed in agony as she fell to the ground.

The rumours about the King and Duke’s presence in the hospital spread like wildfire, and gossipers somehow managed to find out that the future Queen was being treated there. Chats were sent. Calls were made. News feeds were updated. Soon, journalists started publishing short articles about whatever little they know from their sources.When Greg saw the news on his notifications bar, his eyes widened in shock. He left his drink at the refreshments table, and left the dining hall in quick paces as he skimmed through the article, trying to find out how Lucianne was hurt. When he got nothing from the list of useless articles except for the name of the hospital where Lucianne was admitted into, he threw his phone on the passenger’s seat of his car in frustration and drove faster than he had ever driven, beating all the traffic lights along the way.

When Lucianne started breathing on her own again three hours later, the doctors removed the air mask and reported the improvements. Her vitals are nearing normal, and she would most likely wake up in the morning. Everyone was relieved. Toby slumped to the ground and looked at the ceiling as he uttered in immense gratitude, “Thank you, Moon Goddess.”Tate and Lovelace managed a relieved smile despite their still-glistening eyes. Juan’s pale face started to regain its color as he linked Hale. Christian and Annie felt like a huge weight was taken off their shoulders, and Annie started explaining to Russell that Lucianne was going to be alright. Raden and Sylvia relaxed visibly, their bodies slumped against the wall from their tensed slouching positions.By far, the most relieved, but the most guilty, was Xandar. The co

At around 3 a.m., Helena Tanner’s phone screen lit up. Being careful to not wake her mate, she shifted slowly to reach her phone on her night stand. Her eyes squinted in the dark as she read the message from a number she was careful not to add into her contact list but knew by heart. She threw her covers and stood, which was when her mate asked groggily, “Where are you going? What happened?”She tried to mask her worry and responded in a flat tone, “Just work. I have to check on something.”“Now?” Her mate asked in disbelief as he checked the illuminated figures on his alarm clock next to him.Helena forced a smile and kissed her mate on his cheek before explaining, “It’s urgent. I’ll come back as soon as it’s

Helena finally understood why she was being tortured. It wasn’t because she went against the Duke’s orders and used poison. It was because the Duke, for some reason, thought that the poison she ordered got into a person he cared about. The Duke had feelings for the woman who was with the King!Greg scoffed, which brought Tanner out of her thoughts. His eyes bore into hers as he said, “And you thought she was an accessory. Goddess, Tanner. You’re a bigger idiot than I thought you were.”“I didn’t kill her. I didn’t. I never sent anyone after her.” She repeated in dismay.“Who did you send Brown to kill? Be specific this time.”“T-The instructions

A quarter to five in the morning, Xandar was resting his head on the bed next to his mate, taking in her scent as he stroked her hand when, suddenly, he heard her soft moan. His body shot up from the chair, and he inched his face closer to hers as he uttered, “Baby. Baby, are you awake? Can you hear me?”Lucianne’s fingers moved slightly in Xandar’s hand, and her eyelids pressed down for a moment before they opened halfway to reveal those dazed black orbs. Her dry lips parted as she muttered, “Xandar.”Xandar’s eyes were tearing up with relief and joy. “Baby. Oh, Goddess. You’re okay. You’re okay.” He kissed her on her lips and she responded, albeit very weakly.When she felt his tears and he pulled away

Lucianne felt Xandar’s panicked grip so she turned her attention away from Russell, who just came with Annie and Christian. Lucianne then stroked Xandar’s cheeks as she cooed, “Xandar, everything is fine. Breathe. Everything is alright.”When his breathing steadied and Lucianne let go of his face, Christian came over to pat Xandar on the shoulder and asked in concern, “You alright, cuz?”“Y-Yeah. Just need to splash some water on my face.” He got up from his chair to peck a kiss on Lucianne’s cheek as he whispered, “I won’t take long. I’ll be right back.”To Lucianne’s surprise, her mate ruffled Russell’s hair with a warm smile before he headed to the bathroom sink to wash away th

Lucianne shook her head again before she said, “No. The last thing I remember was the pain spreading from my left calf. And the smell of the poison.”“Smell?” Dr Karr asked.“Yeah. Being a wolf, I’ve never come into contact with Oleander in any way. I’ve read about them but I’ve never studied their properties. Yesterday was the first time I got its scent. It smells terrible, doesn’t it? What’s it made of anyway? I know there must be mercury, salt and granite. But what’s the last thing I’m missing?”The doctors were lost for words for a moment before Dr Gina managed to say, “Th-Thioacetone, my Queen. It’s a substance powerful enough to induce nausea even in small amounts.”

Seeing that Lucianne needed nothing more than food and bed rest, the doctors discharged her before noon. Russell obediently went to kindergarten, leaving the hospital with Annie. Xandar, Christian and Lucianne grabbed a quick bite before they headed to the police station.Xandar only brought Lucianne because he didn’t want to let her out of his sight. But he reminded Lucianne to use as little strength as possible when she was there, meaning no excessive mental gymnastics with whatever they were about to hear from Chief Dalloway.The Chief brought them to see Agnes Fitzgerald. They peered through the one-way mirror at the tear-strained, exhausted-looking woman. When Xandar asked why she chose to confess, Chief Dalloway said that she ‘regretted ordering the murder’ as soon as she found out what really happened.

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
