The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King
Chapter 186

Greg didn't deny it. The Duke only locked eyes with Lucianne, and heaverted his guilty gaze before falling on both knees and uttered, “I haveno excuse, my Queen. I welcome any punishment for my behavior andmisdeeds.”

Dalloway was ready to cuff the Duke. Xandar dropped Kelissa before hestarted taking large strides towards the cousin he hated to the core. ButLucianne’s hand gesture stopped them both. Her response to Greg wasfirm and immediate, “Your situation involves a very complicated set ofcircumstances, your Grace. We'll deal with you later. To prevent anyfurther interruptions, I need you to follow Deputy Chief Laurent back tothe station for further questioning.”

“As you wish, my Queen.” Greg uttered in obedience, and got up tofollow the Deputy Chief ready to escort him out.

Xandar's murderous eyes followed Greg until he was out of sight. Hisanimal then reminded him about the creature they were thrashingbefore they were interrupted. Xandar retumed to Kelissa. He breathedheavily as he growled, “You. Also. Hurt. MY MATE. “Another growl, andhe began thrashing Kelissa again as he declared, “NO ONE CAN HURTMY MATE! NO ONE!" 1

Lady Kylton pleaded, “Your Highness, please. In the name of ourfriendship with your late parents, we beg you to let our daughter g o!Please!”

It was as if Xandar didn't hear her, and he lifted Kelissa up only to throwher across the room. Her body slammed against the wall and fell ontothe floor right in front of her parents. Not accustomed to being tossedaround like she was nothing, Kelissa was replaceing it difficult to pushherself off the floor.

Lord Kylton then yelled at Lucianne, “ARE YOU BLIND?! CONTROL YOURMATE! HE CAN BE CHARGED FOR GRIEVOUS BODILY HARM FORTHIS!"

Lucianne’s eyes bumed into the Lord's, and she asked, “Finallyadmitting that he's MY mate now?” The possessiveness in her voicepulled Xandar's heartstrings, cooling his anger. The Lycan King tumedhis attention away from Kelissa as he gravitated towards his QueenLucianne continued, “And grievous bodily harm? Really? What aboutwhat you did to my people?! My species?! You've been slaughtering mykind and my friends for more than a decade! You want to talk aboutgrievous bodily harm when you have murder o n your hands?!” Thewolves growled in support. . *

In the midst of that showdown, Kelissa's soft voice came from the side,“Please, my King, for old time's sake, let me go. I've never meant to hurtyou, I just...”

Xandar and Lucianne scowled at the heiress as the King growled andthe Queen declared, “Stop trying to get my mate to help you, Kelissa! Ifhe wanted to do that, he would've done it by now! Maybe you haven'theard but we're engaged.” Lucianne lifted her hand and showed-off thering on her finger before she growled, “He's MINE.” 2

The corners of Xandar's lips curled upwards at her sexy ferocity, and hetook her hand before pecking a deep kiss on Lucianne’s fingers, placingher palm on his cheek to get rid of any stench that Kelissa left thereearlier,

Lucianne continued to speak to Kelissa in her venomous voice, “Yousent a rogue to mark me by force while asking his men to harm MYmate.” Her voice choked a little when she continued, “Xandar almostdied because of what you did, because of the Oleander you had themuse! You're a complete BUFFOON TO THINK WE'LL LET YOU GET AWAYWITH THIS!"

Kelissa's eyes widened. She was dumbfounded. What did the wolfmean? She only told Jake to mark Lucianne and make a light scratch onXandar while he shielded Lucianne. How did the scratch turn intosomething so serious?

“You're lying.” Kelissa spat meekly.

Lucianne’s black and onyx eyes turned sapphire, and Xandar releasedher hand that was on his cheek. He stepped back as he watched her inpride. Her energy was daunting but also energizing. Despite Kelissa'sbroken bones which were still in the midst of healing, she wascompelled to endure the anguish as she stood with submissiveness tothe Queen's Authority. Her screams and cries did not make Lucianneany more merciful.

Lady Kylton pleaded in tears, “STOP IT! PLEASE, STOP! USE ME! USE ME!LEAVE MY DAUGHTER ALONE!"

When Lucianne didn’t even bat an eyelash, Lord Kylton yelled, “STOP IT,YOU SCUM OF A WOLF! YOU—"

Xandar growled, emitted his own Authority to mute the Lord and Ladybefore he said, “Unless my fiancée requires a response, you areexpected to keep your mouths SHUT.” His vicious eyes bore into theirfrightened ones as he declared, “And when she requires a response,you WILL address her as your Queen.”

Lucianne’s low voice captured everyone's attention when she askedKelissa, “Did you send Jake to mark me?"

Despite her efforts to remain silent, she was compelled to answer. “Yes.”"Did you send rogues to kill my mate?”

"No."

“How do you explain the Oleander blades?!”

“I don't know what happened there. My instruction to them was tomake the slightest scratch on the King's arm while he protected you,my Q-Qu-Queen.”

“And what was the point of that if it wasn't to kill the King?”

"T-To cause a s-scandal, to make it a point that you were a I-liability tothe King so that p-public uproar and detest would p persuade the Kingto...reject you.”

Lucianne’s rage rivalled Xandar's own as his hands went protectivelyaround her shoulders while Lucianne removed her Authority t o letKelissa fall. Xandar then spat, “You're an idiotic imbecile to think that Iwould ever let my mate go. Even if I gave up the throne and everythingelse in my life, I would NEVER reject her. I'd BEG her to stay if that'swhat it took to keep her in my life.”

After pecking a kiss on Lucianne’s temple, he whispered “Let me intoher ear. Lucianne had no idea what he intended to do but those wordswere enough to stop her from stopping him. Xandar approachedKelissa and emitted his own Authority. She stood in agony once more.Xandar then said, “Hiring a bast*rd to take away someone I was makingmine was a mistake, Kylton. Thankfully, my mate had the Queen'sAuthority to stop that sh*t of a rogue you sent before he did anything.And do you know what I did to the rogue after that? Let me show you.”He forced Kelissa's animal to show its canines, and her breathinghastened when Xandar's hand reached for her animal's teeth, which hepulled out with force, making Kelissa scream her lungs out but toeveryone's surprise, she was muted. Xandar threw her canines on thefloor before he glared at the heiress and declared, “That's what I did toJake. You'd do well to remember it.”

Lord and Lady Kylton looked like they were screaming too. Their facesturned red and their eyes drenched in tears despite being voiceless butno one gave a damn. Xandar's eyes only softened when he returned tohis mate's side like a good pup before lifting up her hands to kiss them,and he asked, “Shall we send them to prison now, my love?”

She looked at him with her doe eyes and nodded with a small smile. AsXandar kissed her temple, Lucianne warned Kelissa, “If you try to escapepolice custody as Sasha did, I'll end your life the same way I ended hers,only slower. Much slower. Do I make myself clear, Kelissa?"

Kelissa trembled in fear as she nodded without hesitation.

“Good.” Lucianne smirked, and Xandar gave Dalloway the okay to takethe hostages back to prison.
