The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King
Chapter 184

Kelissa, Lady Kylton, Sasha and Livia screamed as everyone got up andbacked away from the door. In walk Lucianne with black and onyx orbsin a white, knee-length dress. How did she replace them? And where weretheir guards?! 2

Policemen stormed in and pointed guns at the people in the room,making the Kyltons and the others raise their hands above their headsas they trembled in fear and shock. They were still stunned when theywere being cuffed. Only Greg was spared.

Lucianne scanned their faces, and locked eyes with Greg, who raised hishands with the others as well, and without a word or smile, she gavehim a firm nod, prompting him to come forward.

He obliged, lowering his hands and approaching her, utterly relievedthat she got here sooner than he expected. Then again, this wasLucianne. His cousins would have been an entirely different story.Strategizing itself would have taken them forever!

Livia grew worried about what was going to be done to Greg but shecouldn't replace it in herself to move, speak or scream. She was petrifiedLivia was about to break down in tears when Greg was two steps awayfrom Lucianne but what the bed warmer witnessed next shocked her tothe core.

Greg knelt on one knee before Lucianne without being asked orcommanded, held his head low and uttered in devotion, “My Queen.”Lucianne asked rhetorically, “You sent word, your Grace?”

"WHAT?!" Kelissa exclaimed before the policewoman behind hernudged the gun against the back of her head, asking her to shut uWith his eyes still pinned to the ground, Greg tried not to be botheredby the fact that Lucianne’s scent was now mixed with his cousin’s whenhe uttered, “I did. I apologize that the message couldn't be sent sooner,your Highness.”

“No apology necessary, your Grace. Stand.” Lucianne thrusted out ahand in his way. Literally everyone looked at her small hand in disbelief,including Greg himself.

The Duke took a good three seconds before reaching out and taking it.But before Lucianne could pull him up like she would an ally, he peckeda soft, formal kiss on the back. Only after that, he rose and stood beforeher.

Lucianne continued to stare at the perpetrators of the crimes she andher people had been fighting off for years. Then, surprisingly enough,she asked Greg, “Is there anything I should know, your Grace?”

With an arm stretched across his chest as a sign of loyal service, heoffered her a slight bow and uttered, “I've implanted several recordingdevices around the house, my Queen. I'm hoping you'll allow me tocollect them for you.”

“That would be helpful. Any requests with regards to these people?Anything I should know before I torture an ally that you may havehere?”

Greg kept his bow as he said, “I have none here, my Queen. But, withyour permission, I'd like her.” His head motioned to Tanner before headded when his head motioned to Livia, “And her.”

Lucianne took a second before she said, “The one who blackmailed anemployee after sending an assassin after a child, and the bed warmer.”She scoffed darkly before she asked, “What's the request, your Grace?”Upon détecting the suppressed anger in Lucianne’s voice, Greg fell onone knee again as he spoke, “I plead with you to let me have them, myQueen. This doesn't concern anything related to intercourse, I give youmy word.”

“Look at me, your Grace.”

Greg looked up and locked eyes with her without question. Luciannestudied his eyes, and saw that they were partially onyx as well.Predatory, which matched her own. Not knowing what to expect,Lucianne uttered, "Whatever it is, I need them alive and

conscious when you're done.” “As you wish, my Queen.” Greg took herhand and pecked another formal kiss on the back before getting upand striding towards Livia

Livia was certain that the onyx in Greg's eyes weren't lust but pure rage!She tried to run but the policewoman behind her held her i n place andtold her to freeze. Tears were streaming down her cheeks as shesobbed and whimpered.

Upon the Queen's affirmative nod, the policewoman uncuffed Livia andmoved away from her. Greg growled as he pushed Livia's head againstthe wall, making a distinct crack on the concrete. When Greg startedbreaking her limbs with no remorse, Livia screamed her lungs out. Thesound of bone-cracking made her cousin and the others quiver in fearbut Lucianne and every other police person in the room remainedemotionless.

After Greg flung her body against the wall a few more times, he liftedher off the ground by her neck with one hand. His onyx eyes bore intohers as his hand fractured her neck painfully slowly. She whimpered buthe didn’t care. He threw her body to the floor

before he told the policewoman, “Cuff her, please.”

Greg didn't want Livia to heal completely. Only when Lucianne gave thepolicewoman a nod to Greg's request did she do just that, and Tannerknew she was next. Despite being held at gunpoint, she tried to make arun for it only to be pulled back by her shoulder. Greg stood before her,and his infuriated eyes burned into her fearful ones while thepolicewoman uncuffed her. He growled, “I TOLD you to do nothing.”The second the cuffs came loose with the sound of a click, Greg threwher body at the marble coffee table, which broke into two upon theimpact. Greg then flung her against the wall before he began breakingher bones like he did with Livia. Like Livia, Tanner's screams and criesfilled the room. When he was done, Tanner couldn't even get up. Shewas cuffed again before she even had time to heal

At that very moment, Toby, Phelton, Juan, Zeke and Zelena walked inwith two elderly men, one elderly woman and two young men in cuffs.Toby then said, “Livia Aphael's parents and Helena Tanner's husbandand sons, Lucy. Tanner's husband is acting a little... weird.”

The man had cold sweat and was panting like he was just tortured.Lucianne explained, “His mate was thrashed. He just felt whatever shefelt. It's nothing.”

“Ah. That makes sense.” Toby responded casually

When the Aphaels saw their daughter's battered body and terror-struckexpression, Mrs Aphael broke down and started screaming. like amadwoman as Mi Aphael started shouting at his in-laws, demanding anexplanation.

Lucianne walked up to them and asked, “Are you saying that you haveno idea what the people in this house have been doing, Mr and MrsAphael?”

What are you talking about?! What did you do to my daughter?!” MrAphael cried.

Greg growled and said in a low voice, “Watch your tongue in thepresence of the Queen. I did this. Your daughter had been warnedt ONEVER hurt the Queen. YOUR DAUGHTER ASKED FOR THIS!"

Mrs Aphael yelled at Greg, “My daughter would never hurt a fly! Whathave you done to her?!” Greg yelled back, “NOTHING SHE DIDN'TDESERVE! SHE PLOTTED AGAINST THE QUEEN!"

Lord Kylton shouted, “SO DID YOU!"

Lucianne growled, "ENOUGH!" She locked eyes with the Aphaels andsaid, “Your daughter is far from innocent, and what the Duke did to herwas done in service of the Crown. Treason is punishable by death oreternal torture. We are just getting started with her. You'd best pray wedon't replace anything showing your involvement as well.”

The Aphaels’ mouths opened but before they could speak again, Gregand Lucianne growled at them in unison before the Queen spat,“Another word, and your daughter would leave this room in a worsecondition than she’s in now. Is that clear?”

They sealed their mouths in resentment for their daughter's sake.Lucianne then stepped forward, and her tone demanded an answerwhen she asked, “Is. That. Clear?”

Toby extended a claw on each hand, and the tip of both claws touchedeach of the Aphaels’ throats when he ordered in a low voice,” Answerthe Queen.”

The couple gritted their teeth and muttered in Lucianne’s way, “Yes.”“Yes' what?” Greg asked, and moved closer to the fear-stricken,quivering Livia. He extended his own claws, and pressed them on Livia'sneck.

Like the Kyltons, the Aphaels were never forced against their will. Howdare these wolves and that outcast of a Duke make them oblige asmall-sized, low-born wolf! But for their precious Livia, they swallowedtheir pride and uttered, “Yes, my Queen.”

“YOU'RE NOT THE QUEEN! I AM! I AM!" Kelissa's fear evaporated,replaced with anger when even her own uncle and aunt addressed thescum of a wolf by that title, HER title! Apart from Kelissa's own crew,everyone growled at her, Greg being one of the loudest and mostbarbaric.

Lucianne scoffed as she turned to face the heiress, and asked with anarrogant smirk, “Are you?” 1

Kelissa then spat, “You will never wear the Crown! You will never beQueen! I will NEVER kneel before you! YOU ARE THE ONE WHO WILLKNEEL BEFORE ME!"
