The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King

Chapter 155

Jake was linking someone, When will it arrive?’

meo

‘In a week or so.’ A woman’s voice linked in response.

‘And if I need it earlier? What’s the price?’

That’s not possible. You know how long it takes to synthesize Oleander.’

‘Can’t you speed up the process?!’

We could. But the quality would be sub-par. Would you accept a product of inferior quality?’

Jake groaned. ‘Fine. And the other one? The shell?

The ingredients for that are harder to collect. It will take more time. We need a month, at least. You’ve run out of that already?’

‘No. But supply is running low.’

What did you do? Ingest it just for fun?’

Lucianne was brought out of the link by Xandar shaking her shoulders and calling out her name. The room was silent. Xandar’s eyes were partially onyx, worried and angered, as he asked in a low voice,” What were you doing, Lucy?” 1 All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Lucianne swallowed a lump in her throat, and said in a small voice, “I may have…hacked into Jake’s link with his supplier.”

“COOL!” Christian exclaimed.

Xandar glanced briefly at his cousin and said, “Christian, don’t encourage this.” He turned back to his mate and spoke as gently as he could, “Sweetheart, we agreed that we were done for the day.”

With her doe-eyes, she justified meekly, “It was kind of tempting to do. I couldn’t help myself.”

Xandar sighed in frustration before pecking a kiss between her eyebrows and saying, “Promise me, Lucy. Promise me you won’t do that again for the rest of today.”

“But why? I can help!” Lucianne said.

Xandar’s thumb traced her slightly pale cheeks and chapped lips. Even with her breaks between hacking, i t was conspicuous that it was taking a toll on her energy.

The King thought hard about what to tell his stubbom Queen before he uttered, “You should rest because you can hack longer after you’ve given yourself a longer break.” He knew that asking her to rest for her own sake would never convince her to listen, so he gave this reason instead.

Lucianne blinked and muttered, “Huh. That’s actually true.”

Xandar and his animal were intemally relieved that Lucianne didn’t argue. “Promise me, sweetheart. No more for today, okay?”

“Okay.” Lucianne responded in an affectionate whisper before pecking a kiss on his nose.

She then told everyone about what she learned. Although no location was mentioned for them to pinpoint where Jake or his supplier was at the moment, whatever she gathered from eavesdropping was enough to

worry everyone present

“So, they call the King’s Authority shield a ‘shell’.” Raden thought aloud.

Lucianne immediately clarified. That’s just what I think, Ray. They didn’t say it was the shield from the Authority so

“We doubt it’s anything else, Lucy.” Tate cut her off like he always did whenever she doubted her good guesses.

Juan muttered, ‘Jake asked his supplier to speed up, meaning the next attack is just around the corner.” H e looked at his Gamma and asked, “A week or so for the Oleander, was it?” Lucianne nodded in confirmation

She then added, “Also, Juan, we shouldn’t think that they have zero amount of Oleander left in their hideout. It’s more likely that whatever they have left is not enough to execute whatever their client has asked them to do. As for the shell..I don’t know if whatever they have will be enough for them to survive another battle.”

Then our next step is simple.” Zeke said, and everyone turned their attention to him. As he held onto his Luna’s hand, he declared with a ferocious glint in his eye, “We need to find them and destroy them before next week, before they get the Oleander and the shell.”

There were firm nods of agreement around the room, and everyone stared at the map on the board one more time before calling it a day.

After seeing them off, Xandar kissed Lucianne’s hands before he asked with starry eyes, “Let me show you something.”

When she smiled and nodded gently, he led her to the part of the house where the contractor had just completed the renovation the evening before. When they were in the hallway leading to the room,

Xandar covered her eyes with one hand and guided her by her waist with his other hand. When they reached the door, he dropped his hand and Lucianne’s closed eyes fluttered open.

Her eyes widened and her mouth hung open in shock when she read the sign next to the closed door that said ‘Lucianne’s Reading Wonderland’ with a painted border of freesias. As Xandar held her small hand, h e twisted open the door knob and gently pushed the door open to reveal a large space.

Lucianne gasped as she looked around the double-storey room with golden oak walls and a floor-to ceiling window right in the middle, with three-layered curtains pushed to the sides. The grey sofas formed a circle in the middle, and the colored cushions made the sitting area comforting and welcoming. Around the sofas were empty bookshelves made of acacia wood.

On both the far left and right ends, there were spiral staircases leading to even more empty bookshelves resembling those below. The wall and floor lamps gave the place a soft feeling, but most of the work of lighting up the large room was actually done by the flush lights mounted directly against the ceiling in half-spheres.

“What do you think, baby?” Xandar asked. He actually looked nervous.

Lucianne opened her mouth and was groping for the right words. The only thing that came out was, “ How? When?”

Xandar took her hands and said, “About a week ago. I got someone to fix this up. Is it okay?”

“Okay?! Are you insane, Xandar?! Look at this place! I never thought a reading wonderland could look this amazing!” Lucianne’s eyes started scanning the room again in excitement.

Xandar sighed with relief, and pecked a kiss on her temple before he uttered, “I’m glad you like it, Lucy.”

She kissed him on his cheek and said, “Thank you, Xandar. You really didn’t have to…”

He silenced her with a kiss before whispering a reminder, “Know this, my love: if it makes you happy, I’ll d o it.”

With glistening eyes, she smiled and uttered, “Thank you.”

As they walked around the room to look at the space in more detail, Xandar mentioned that the work started when he moved into her hotel room.

Lucianne’s cheeky switch turned on. “Ah, so you just needed a place to stay to be rid of all the noise and dust from the renovation. And to think you wanted to share a room together because I was something special to you. Gosh, this is quite embarrassing, your Highness.”

Xandar smiled broadly as he continued their act from the refreshments table in the earlier stages of their relationship. “Mmm…” he pulled her waist closer to himself as he said, “Looks like I’ve misled you.”

“That, you did.”

After tucking her hair behind her ear and stroking her cheek, he leaned in and whispered into her ear,“ Maybe you should consider punishing me, my love. What will you have me do?”

Like the last two times they did this, his arousal started filling the room, and he took a deep breath from Lucianne’s neck, where she had already tilted her head to one side to offer him more access. His hands moved from her waist to her bum, and she emitted the cute moan. At her neck, Xandar smirked as he asked, “What’s wrong, my dear? Still embarrassed?”

With reasonable difficulty, Lucianne tried to stay focused as she said in a much softer voice,” Embarrassed? Oh, please, your Highness. I was just thinking about your punishment.”

Xandar’s lips grazed her collarbone as he asked, “Mm…is that so?” He then planted a slow, deep kiss on her neck, making her moan the sexy way before he added, “And what have you decided, my Queen?”

Her arousal was rivaling his. And when Xandar felt his mate’s lips at his ear, she whispered, “Make me scream, my King.”

His Lycan howled in his head, and Xandar lifted up her small body with ease before dashing to his bedroom that was just on the opposite side of the hallway. After kicking the door shut, he placed her on the middle of his large bed, where they continued rounds five and six, moaning and screaming much louder than they did at the hotel in the morning since they were the only two in the house, and the bedroom walls were soundproof.

When they were done, Lucianne lay naked on Xandar’s hard chest as he ran his fingers through her hair and stroked her bare arm, pecking kisses on her forehead every once in a while. “Thank you, Moon Goddess’, he thought in gratitude.

Buzz

Xandar’s phone vibrated, so he reluctantly stopped stroking his mate’s smooth arm and reached for his device on the nightstand. It was a message from Dalloway. The tech company confirmed that the evidence Greg sent to Lucianne had not been tampered with, thus the information was reliable evidence

o prove the ministers’ guilt.

Lucianne noticed that her mate had stopped playing with her hair, and his arm went protectively around her body so she asked, “Darling, what is it?”

His blissful lilac eyes met her shiny black orbs, and he said, “Looks like we’re skipping training and the rest of the events tomorrow, sweetheart. The evidence against Cummings and the others have been authenticated. The trial is scheduled to start tomorrow. They’ll start with witness testimonies so it would b e nice to see how those four parasites are going to argue their way out of the charges against them.” “Oh. That’s good news.” She said and lay back down on his chest as he stroked her bare back.

After a moment, Xandar pecked a kiss on her forehead before he said, “We should head back, baby. It’s getting late.”

“Already?” Lucianne asked sadly.

Xandar then hinted in his alluring voice, “Unless you have something else in mind?” His hand trailed the side of her body, teasing her breast when his fingers grazed the area before moving further down to squeeze her butt.

She moaned and whimpered, and it didn’t help that Xandar’s erection was teasing her bum. He then asked with a cocky smirk, “Is there anything in particular that you want, my love?”

Breathlessly, she muttered, “You.”

“As you wish, my Queen.” As soon as he said that, he flipped them over and started round seven for the day. Only after that did they head back to the hotel, soaking in the bathtub together while waiting for their dinner from room service. 1

The next morning, they dressed up and met Christian and Annie in the High Court trying the corruption case against the four ministers.
