The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King

Chapter 181

Lucianne immediately got up and inspected her tom bra and underwear as she said, “Remind me to undress before we let them do that again next time.”

Both their animals were chuckling at her remark, and Xandar pecked a kiss on her bare waist as he commented, “He was a little brutal to her, don’t you think?”

Xandar ignored his animal’s protest, and waited for his mate to answer, to which she said, “Hm. She seems to like it rough.”

His animal gloated and bragged, which made Xandar mutter, “And he seems to be happy to hear that.” His hands snuck around her waistline and he said, “Since we’re both already naked, how about we give it a go?”

Lucianne’s eyes left her tom-up bra and met her mate’s flirtatious gaze. He seemed to know her weak spot because he emitted that dangerous and alluring growl that turned her on, and when she smirked coyly and guided his hands to her breasts, Xandar pounced on her and sucked on her neck, teasing her mark. Lucianne spread her legs before wrapping them around Xandar’s waist as he went in and out of her. She moaned in ecstasy as Xandar increased his speed. He emitted that deep, alluring growl again as he said, “Come for me, baby.” 3

He then went even faster than he did before. Within seconds, Lucianne came and locked him in. The product of Xandar’s own orgasm dispensed in her, and he admired her rising and falling breasts. When her lock came loose, he remained in her as he started pecking kisses on her breasts, enjoying Lucianne’s whimpers when his tongue teased her nipples. After that, he moved up north, gazing at the mark he made on her in pure bliss.

His tongue extended, and he licked over it ever so slowly and lovingly as Lucianne moaned, “Ohh…”

Xandar’s lips curled into a smilk before he moved to Lucianne’s lips to kiss her slowly, enjoying every lick, every brush, and every sensation as his hand continued kneading her breasts. When their lips released each other, his nose touched hers as he whispered, “I love you.”

Lucianne met his euphoric eyes, and muttered, “I know. I love you, too.”

Instead of a moring run, they decided on a moming walk after all the exercise they did in bed.

###

After showering and getting ready, they walked to the dining hall. Christian and Annie got out of the car when they saw Xandar and Lucianne enter through the gates.

As Lucianne and Annie embraced each other, Christian offered his cousin a brotherly hug, and placed the small jewellery box he collected in the morning into Xandar’s ready hand. The Duke’s eyes glistened in joy as he linked, ‘I’m really happy for you, cuz.’

‘She hasn’t said ‘yes’ yet, Christian.’

Christian scoffed and linked, ‘I doubt she’ll say ‘no’.’

‘I hope you’re right. Still, if she wants more time, I’ll give it to her.’ He looked at his mate, who was complimenting Annie’s dressing before he continued, ‘I’ll give her anything.’

Christian patted him on the back and linked, ‘Yeah, we all know that, cuz. C’mon.’

They joined the ladies’ conversation just in time for Lucianne to ask, “Is this for a special occasion? Is it someone’s birth day and I wasn’t let in on the secret?” Her eyes went briefly to the Duke before returning to the Duchess.

Annie stammered, “W-Well, uh…it isn’t anyone’s birthday. We’d tell you if it is, and uh…I just wanted to dress like this for..fun.”

Lucianne pressed back a smile before she said, “Annie, you’re not very good at lying.” Both cousins burst out laughing, and Annie’s narrowed eyes directed at her husband drew him closer to her before he pecked a sweet kiss on her temple.

Lucianne decided to spare Annie from her questioning. She assumed that it was a private matter between the Duke and Duchess, s o she didn’t pry. Xandar slid his hand around her waist, and the four of them entered the dining hall together. Right after everyone stood from exchanging bows, the murmurs and chatters soon started. Everyone was staring at Lucianne. Was there something different about her?

With Lucianne’s sharpened hearing, she caught the whispers and started blushing. Xandar pecked a kiss on her temple, and asked, “Well, my love. How should we tell them?”

Lucianne’s affectionate eyes met his own as she said, “Why tell when we can show?”

Her hand went to her hair covering her mark, and she pushed it gently to the back, showing the pinkish smear made by her mate the previous night. The second her mark came into view, the entire dining hall erupted in excitement. Xandar pulled his collar

slightly to the side to show everyone his mark made by her, and the crowd got crazier. Christian squeezed his best friend’s shoulder as a way of congratulating him.

The alliance and several Lycans were coming forward with smiling eyes to congratulate them but before they reached the King and Queen, their footsteps came to a halt when Xandar held Lucianne’s small hand and got down on one knee. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Lucianne’s bright eyes widened in shock when Xandar took out a small jewellery box from his trousers, the one his cousin handed t o him earlier that morning. The squeals in the room came from both men and women, Weaver’s being one of the loudest. 3

Lucianne stopped breathing, and gaped when Xandar opened the box to present a princess-cut black diamond adored with smaller lilac diamonds all around it, held by a band which seemed to contain some kind of engraving.

Xandar’s voice commanded the attention of the room when he spoke, “Lucy, my love. You’ve caught this beast’s attention long before we were bonded, and you’ve stolen my heart on the very first night we met. I’ve never seen a more beautiful creature, nor have I come across a more amazing one. Your grace is breathtaking; your bravery is incredible; your nobility is astounding; and your strength is simply mind- blowing. If–” He was forced to pause when a loud applause burst from everyone around them.

When it died down, Xandar continued, “If I were to be completely honest, I wasn’t sure if I could ever win your heart.” There was a short laughter from the people around them before he proceeded to say, “All I could hope for in the beginning was a chance – a chance to be with you, to show you that I’m not like the mates from your past, and a chance to make you happy.”

After pecking a kiss on the back of her hand, he said, “You’re so…whole, Lucy. It somehow felt like you didn’t need me, and I’m sure that your brother and Christian can tell you how the mere thought of losing you scares me to death, and the mere suspicion that you might reject me shatters me to pieces.”

His eyes glistened at the memories where he thought Lucianne was going to reject him in the Jewel Pack, after the Kyltons’ debacle and after the incident in Forest Gloom. Lucianne’s own eyes glistened as her free hand reached out to stroke his cheek.

Xandar allowed himself to lean into her touch before he continued, “Thank you for giving me a chance to love you, baby. I promise t o be better everyday, to be more, because you deserve nothing less. You have no idea how happy you make me, and I hope you’ll keep letting me show you how much you mean to me, how much I love you.”

His voice tumed gentler when he lifted up the box in his hand and asked, “Lucianne Freesia Paw, will you allow your indecent beast the honor of taking your hand in marriage?” 2

Lucianne was so moved that she couldn’t speak, and she nodded without hesitation as tears spilled from her eyes. Her non-verbal response made the entire hall erupt in a second round of excitement. Xandar’s nerves eased, and he slid the ring into his mate’s finger before getting up to pull her into a deep kiss.

When their lips parted, Xandar whispered, “Thank you so much, baby. I love you. I love you so, so much.” 1

Lucianne’s tears continued to stream down her face as she said, “I love you, too, so much.”

The news of their engagement reached all comers of the Kingdom in less than an hour, and there were people who were not happy about it

Kelissa’s bedroom was filled with feathers from all the posh pillows she tore up when she read the latest scoop with the headline” SHE SAID ‘YES!”, accompanied by photos of Lucianne and Xandar showing off their marks; Xandar down on one knee before a very shocked Lucianne; Xandar grinning broadly as he slid the ring into his mate’s finger, and Xandar and Lucianne sharing a kiss.

Lord and Lady Kylton told the maid to leave them alone, and went to sit on either side of their precious daughter on the couch. When Lady Kylton was close to offering her a hug, Kelissa pushed away her mother’s arms. Despite being hurt by her daughter’s reaction, Lady Kylton understood why her little Kelly was fuming with rage.

“How could he?” Kelissa hissed in a small voice as she continued to breath heavily.

“It’s his loss, dear.” Lord Kylton said, and realized he said the wrong thing when his wife’s and daughter’s glare scared him and his animal. He cleared his throat and muttered, “Sorry about that. That wasn’t the right thing to say.”

“No sh*t.” Kelissa hissed with no remorse. After another moment, she said, “Not all is lost. I can still win.”

Lord Kylton was about to ask how but chose to remain silent when his wife gave a slight shake of her head. Lady Kylton cleared her throat and asked gently, “What do you want us to do now, Kelly?”

Without hesitation, Kelissa said in a low voice, “We have to kill her. It’s the only way to make Xandar available again. It’s the only way I can mark him after he marks me.”

Lord Kylton nodded in understanding and asked, “Would you like me to call them, on…”

The heiress’s onyx eyes burned into her father’s careful lilac ones as the heiress shouted, “DO I REALLY SEEM THAT INCAPABLET

O YOU?! DO YOU THINK THIS WOLF IS MORE CAPABLE THAN ME, TOO?”

“No! Of course not! The wolf is a scum!” Lord Kylton defended.

Lady Kylton then helped her husband by saying, “We just want to help, Kelly. You don’t have to do everything alone. We know you’re strong, dear, and you do so much. We just want to help you.”

Kelissa took in her mother’s words, and within a few minutes, she managed to get a hold of herself. “It’s okay. I’ll just give Jake a call and see if we can improvise something. Maybe mixing Oleander with some other poison to make sure it kills the wolf instantly, so that Xandar doesn’t suffer.” 1

Lady Kylton smiled warmly and said, “That’s very thoughtful of you, Kelly.”

With a hard expression and a murderous glint in her eye, Kelissa said, “This doesn’t mean I’ll let him off that easily. Once we are mated and marked, and I’m crowned, I’m going to make Xandar BEG for my forgiveness for all this hurt that he is causing me.”

Kelissa dialed Jake’s number immediately without a plan in mind, hoping that the rogue Alpha would be able to help her out. The call didn’t go through. She tried again. Nothing. Impatient, she tried a third time

as she complained, “What do rogues have to do that requires their Alpha with them anyway? Why wasn’t he answering his phone?”

Her parents convinced her to give it an hour. Perhaps Jake was conducting a task for another client and wasn’t near his phone at the moment. The task she herself gave him was in a couple of days time. Perhaps he was preparing for that? Her original instructions to him were simple: lightly scratch Xandar with a non-lethal concentration of Oleander when the King was in the process of protecting Lucianne.

Kelissa would then send her people to make anonymous phone calls to the press, twisting the story to blame Lucianne for the King’s injury. Her private instructions to Jake the other day was for him to mark Lucianne. It was so clear that the rogue Alpha wanted her but it took ten minutes of persuasion from the heiress before he agreed to forcibly mark her. Kelissa did not just waste ten minutes of her life to not get the results she worked for! 1

Of course, the Kyltons didn’t know that the Alpha of the company they owned was already killed…that was until a second big scoop popped up on Kelissa’s screen, with the headline: 47 Rogue Lycans and 10 Rogue Wolves Arrested in Mass Infiltration into Rogue Headquarters by the Monarchs, Lycan and Wolf Warriors and Police Force.

Lord Kylton’s face tumed white. It couldn’t be his company, could it? When Kelissa opened up the article and scrolled through it, seeing Jake’s photograph which was captioned as ‘the deceased leader suspected of running the corporation’, Kelissa threw her phone at her full body mirror and screamed in madness. In his room, Greg cursed and immediately took his earpiece out as he muttered, “Crazy bitch.”
