2021-09-01 18:00:00A 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.

Agnes was taken aback with what Lucianne just said but she stubbornly insisted, “No, I did. It was me. Please. I’ve always h-hated Ellia Morgan, a-and I wanted her j-job, a-and…”“Who do you love most, Agnes?” Lucianne interrupted her with a seemingly-unrelated question.Agnes was confused but seeing Lucianne’s warm, encouraging smile, she nodded with uncertainty and uttered, “M-My child, your Hi-Highness.”Lucianne smiled wider and leaned closer as she asked, “A boy or a girl?”“G-Girl.” She was still lost.“What’s her name?”

When they reached the hotel, Xandar accompanied Lucianne until she was in her room before he felt at ease. After gently lifting her chin up, he kissed her briefly on her lips before he asked nervously in a hushed voice, “Can I sleep here from now on?” Lucianne was surprised, even a little shocked. But given how everybody was indicating that she almost died the previous night, she understood where Xandar was coming from. The corner of her lips curled up, and she stood on her toes to kiss his cheek as she whispered, “I’d like that.” Xandar’s tense posture relaxed, and a smile replaced his anxious expression. He pecked a kiss on her forehead before he uttered, “I’m going back to get a few things. I won’t be long, I promise. You get ready for bed, okay?” Lucianne nod

“Better. My legs feel stronger. I might even be able to start training again tomorrow.” Lucianne said optimistically. Xandar’s eyes widened in worry, and he locked gaze with her as he said firmly, “Lucy, the doctors told you to take things slow. Please don’t push yourself. It’s okay to take a few days off, especially after what just happened. Baby, it’s okay to put yourself first sometimes.” Lucianne leaned her head into his chest while lifting her legs up one at a time to test their strengths again before she uttered, “I should be alright by tomorrow. If I’m not, I’ll just watch them train.” Xandar sighed with relief before pecking another kiss on her temple. She gave him a shy smile as she said, “Thank you for lying with me while I slept.”

There was a sigh from the Alpha’s end of the line before he said, “Lucy, for the infinite time, it’s just Clement to you. I swear, if you call me by my title again, I’m going to start calling you ‘Your Highness’.” Xandar instinctively held Lucianne tighter when jealousy crept into his being at how the Alpha sounded more flirtatious than irritated. “Clement, get serious! When was this taken?” Lucianne exclaimed with zero humour. A steady inferno started building in Xandar’s chest at how close they seemed to be that the Alpha insisted Lucianne only called him by his name. And this Alpha wasn’t even a part of the alliance. Just how many men were after his mate anyway?! Alpha Clement began speaking, “First of all, it’s good to hear that you’re okay. Second,” He match

In Xandar’s chest, Lucianne continued her tale in a small voice, “Alpha Jake was bad news from the very start. Everyone saw it, except his parents. There was this negative energy that you can feel whenever his presence was close by.” She sighed before saying, “He asked me for a dance but I said no. Luna Janice, being the cordial one in the pack house, told me that as children of pack leaders, we had to oblige simple gestures to keep the peace with our allies. She said that just because I was adopted, it didn’t make me any different. I was mad at her for pressing me like that but I was also driven by a sense of duty to my pack. So, I mentally prepared myself to oblige Alpha Jake’s request if he asked again, which he didn’t, thank Goddess. But his brother, Clement, did. As I told myself that I was doing it for my pack, I obliged. Clement is definitely not like his brother. The two couldn’t be

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

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
