The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King
Chapter 185

When the second round of growls followed, Lucianne laughedhysterically for a short moment before her black and onyx eyes tumedsapphire, and her Authority radiated from her being. It was the firsttime Greg felt that energy from her, and it felt magnificent! In fact, itfelt stronger than the late King Lucas’s Authority! Everything aboutLucianne was just so... different. 1

Lucianne directed her Authority at Kelissa, compelling her to kneel.Kelissa felt something from Lucianne but she didn’t know what it was.Suddenly, her legs gave way, and she fell on both knees, her head wasforced down as Lucianne stood right in front of her, allowing theheiress a good view of her white stilettos. 2

When Lucianne decided that she had made her point, her human eyecolor returned, and she asked Phelton to escort Greg to fetch all therecording devices scattered in the residence. Greg approached thedeputy minister, and extracted one of the devices from under the couchbefore handing it to Phelton as they left the room together.

Even when Lucianne’s Authority wasn't radiating anymore, the heiresswas still stuck to the ground. Neither Kelissa's body nor her head couldmove. It was getting uncomfortable. A few more inches lower and herneck may break.

Sasha, who was compelled by the King's Authority before, recognisedthe compulsion, and she muttered, “No, it's not possible.”

Lucianne walked towards Sasha as she ordered, “Uncuff this one.”

As soon as the Oleander cuffs came off, Lucianne threw a blow inSasha's face, making her slump against the wall. How dare this low-lifeof a wolf punch her like that?! Sasha's rage took over, and she pushedherself off the wall before she charged at Lucianne. Lucianne waited forthe minister's daughter to charge towards her before stepping to theside and tripping her, making Sasha fall t o the ground with a loudthud.

Lucianne then noted aloud, “It seems that prison walls can't hold you,Ms Cummings.”

Sasha got back up, and tried to land a few punches on Lucianne, whoeasily dodged her efforts with crossed-arms as she continued speaking,“You know, I've had so many opportunities to kill you, Sasha, and somany reasons to do it but I never did it.”

Lucianne blocked Sasha's punch with a firm grip over her fist, andstarted cracking the bones there before Sasha’s other hand came toattempt to land another blow, which Lucianne also blocked as shestarted cracking the bones in that one, too. Sasha let out an agonizingscream as she tried to retract her fists but to no avail.

“Prison would have kept you safe and alive but you had to come out,didn’t you? It's time I stopped giving you chances, Ms Cummings. Thisends here. But don't worry, the death sentence I'm offering you is theeasy way out.” Sasha's animal was surfacing, and Lucianne threw Sasha,face down, against the floor.

The sharp tip of Lucianne’s stiletto plunged through Sasha's nape. Theheel went right through her neck and broke the bone there, makingdrops of blood splatter on Lucianne’s leg and the lower part of herwhite dress. As she moved away from Sasha's lifeless body, Tobymuttered to himself, “Hm. So that's why she chose to wear heels for thisoccasion.”

The rest of the alliance and policemen came in with the Kyltons' twelvebodyguards who tried to flee as soon as they saw the magnitude of theattack against their employers. Christian and Xandar came in last, andthe King made a beeline for his Queen

right after Lucianne made Kelissa stand and lift her head up with herAuthority.

Xandar's eyes zoomed in on the splattered blood on her dress and legs,and he grabbed her arms to tum her to face him as he exclaimed inworry, “Baby! What did I say about being careful?! Are you hurt?”Lucianne heard the palpitations of his heart, and she furrowed hereyebrows at his unnecessary panic before saying matter-of factly, “No,Xandar. You'd know that.”

Realization hit him that their emotions were interwoven, and he didn'tfeel any pain when he was away from Lucianne so she couldn't havebeen hurt. His animal cooed at the thought of being bound to theamazing creature before them forever, and his heart rate steadied. Hishuman part locked eyes with her and muttered in bliss, “Mm. That'strue.”

He looked at her dress again. The blood still bothered him, so Luciannecasually explained, “This was just from impaling Sasha Cummings's neckwith my heel, darling. She's dead now. And I let Greg beat up LiviaAphael and Helena Tanner, by the way.” 1

Xandar glanced at Sasha's lifeless body before he nodded inacknowledgement and muttered, “It's about time.” A sweet peck on hertemple, and he said, “Well done, my little freesia. We'll get you somenew shoes later, okay?” Lucianne nodded dotingly, making her beastsmile with radiance as he nuzzled her nose to elicit her soft and shygiggle. 1

Lucianne cupped his face to stop him from going any further, and thatwas when Xandar realized that her hand smelled different. H e took herhand, and gave his mate a puzzled look. Lucianne shrugged and, withher doe eyes, said, “Greg. Just two formal pecks, darling.”

Lucianne felt his jealousy and insecurity before Xandar started suckingon her hand, wiping his cousin's scent off and leaving his

own there. When he was satisfied, he uttered, “There. All better now.”Lucianne rolled her eyes despite her increasingly-visible blushes, andsaid, “We still have a few things to deal with, my King, Let's stayfocused.”

With nothing but affection, he responded, “As you wish, my Queen.”Both their smiles faltered when their sights converged on Kelissa, whojust stood there like a statue as tears of anger streamed down hercheeks. Xandar then said in a low voice, “I have to say, I'm impressedthat you're containing yourself, Kylton.”

Lucianne then clarified, “Oh, that's me, darling. I used the Authority tomute her and make her stand still. Here, let me get rid of it.” Lucianneremoved her Authority over Kelissa with a blink of her eyes.

Once the Authority was lifted, the heiress’s stiff body came loose, andshe hissed, “You could only do that because of Xand-."

Xandar's voice was low when he growled and said, “My mate can dojust fine on her own. And I am your King. You WILL address me by mytitle.”

Kelissa's eyes of despair met Xandar's onyx orbs when she said, “Shecan't be Queen, X-"

Xandar growled and pinned Kelissa's neck to the wall, which was whenGreg and Phelton returned. Greg noticed Sasha's body, and actually feltlighter knowing that she was dead, unable to hurt Lucianne again. Hewondered who killed her, and while everyone was staring at his cousinattacking the heiress, Greg's investigative eyes traced the trail ofbloodstains on the light carpet to Lucianne’s stiletto, and he smiled tohimself.

Kelissa's hands tried to pull Xandar's fingers away but to no avail. Hewas too strong. So, while her air supply was running out, her handreached out to touch his cheek, making Xandar growl again beforethrowing her body at the cabinet of ornaments, shattering the glasscasing. He then wiped off the sensation that Kelissa's touch left on hischeek with his sleeve in haste, like her touch carried a transmittablevirus. Lucianne could feel his disgust and his animal's anger at what theheiress just did. 1

His homicidal tone sent a shiver down everyone's spines when hedeclared, “NO ONE can touch me but MY MATE.”

Lady Kylton then pleaded, “Your Highness, please. Don't hurt her! She'sinnocent!”

“Innocent?” Greg scoffed, “She led the conspiracy to send rogues toattack the Queen on more than one occasion, discreetly asking therogue Alpha to mark her against her will and you're calling that piece ofdirt an innocent?”

Upon hearing that, Xandar flung Kelissa's body against another cabinet.The glass shattered all over her body like the first.

Lord Kylton then shouted at Greg, “YOU'RE PART OF THE CONSPIRACY,YOU SCUM! AND YOU TOLD CUMMINGS ABOUT US WHEN SHEWANTED TO SENT ROGUES TO THE JEWEL PACK! YOU MADE THATCALL THAT SENT THEM THERE!" All eyes converged on Greg.
