The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King
Chapter 193

Ken's face was still as hard as cold metal when he turned to Janice, andexploded, “I knew I should've killed Idris's b*stard son when he lookedat Lucy like she was a piece of meat! How dare he try to take mydaughter's choice from her!”

Upon hearing that, the four of them holding their breaths relaxedvisibly. He was mostly mad at Jake. Thank Goddess!

"OUR daughter, dear.” Janice corrected her husband. She wasn'tcomfortable after listening to the tale either. 1

“Sick b*stard!” Ken spat. He then scowled at Juan and shouted, “Andwhat the h*ll was Faint Moon's doctors doing?! How could they nothave enough blood on hand?!”

Juan argued meekly, “Dad, they brought all they had.”

Ken yelled, “It wasn't enough! Gonna give those Faint Moon idiots a calland...” Lucianne's eyes widened in fear before her hand reached for herfather's arm to stop him from getting up as she spoke with her doeeyes, “Dad, there wasn't more than what they brought. They dideverything they could. And it was enough. We came out fine.”

“You could have died, baby girl.” Ken said with more restraint over hisrage.

“But I didn't, daddy. I came out stronger like you always said I would.”Lucianne justified meekly, praying that he won't call Luna Emilia to giveher a lecture.

As Ken's heavy breathing steadied, he looked at Juan and said in a lowvoice, “Make sure the issue of blood supply is raised in the next packleaders’ meeting.”

Juan rolled his eyes and responded, “We already had one after theinfiltration, dad. Blood is not going to be an issue anymore.”

“It better not be.” Ken warned.

Lucianne saw that her brother was getting increasingly agitated, so sheanswered Ken, “It won't be, daddy.”

Ken wasn't done when he glared at the remorseful-looking Xandar andexclaimed, “And you better make sure that doesn't happent o mydaughter again!”

Lucianne defended Xandar. “Daddy, that's not fair. Xandar shielded mefrom the blades.”

“And gave you the poison after that.” He uttered in a low voice.Lucianne was getting angered now. “I TOOK it from him, dad. Xandarhad already lost consciousness. He couldn't stop me. No one could. Iwould've used the Queen's Authority to force them to do the samething if it came to that.”

Xandar's face hardened in guilt, and Ken's disdainful glare made himfeel worse. Lucianne felt Xandar's guilt, and she stroked his hand tocomfort him while trying to reason with her enraged adoptive father,“Dad, think about it, mom would've done the same for you. Are yousaying that she would be wrong to do what I did?" 2

"YES!" Ken exclaimed without hesitation.

Luna Janice roared, “KEN! YOU TAKE THAT BACK!"

Juan scoffed, then leaned back into the couch as he smirked anddeclared, “And it's showtime.”

The former pack leaders shifted their sharp glares to their son, whosimply looked at them in amusement as he said, “Admit it, dad. Whathappened was the rogues’ fault. None of us could have stopped Lucy.And any one of us would've done what Lucy did if it were our mates inXandar's position.”

Ken never liked it when Juan talked back at him but when his sightsmoved to the doe-eyed Lucianne, his anger evaporated, and h

e sighed and muttered in discontent, “Fine.”

After taking a quiet moment to himself, Ken's sights fell on Xandar, andhe thrusted out his hand, which Xandar took, as the former Alpha said,“Apologies for...blaming you.”

Xandar's response was immediate, “Don't be, sir. I don't take whathappened lightly either. I'll do better by your daughter, I promise.”Janice smiled at his response, and Ken nodded, internally... satisfiedwith his answer. Not happy. Just satisfied.

The kids returned shortly after, and they met Xandar. The youngest,Liam, was a little sad that he didn’t have Aunt Lucy all to himselfanymore but Lucianne assured him that he still had a special place inher heart.

They had dinner together, and talked a little more with the kids beforehitting the hay. Ken then invited Xandar for a fishing trip, just the two ofthem. The tone he used for the invitation obliged Xandar to accept.With Janice's relentless persuasion, Ken decided to be more open withhis future son-in-law on their fishing trip the next day. They talkedmostly about Lucianne, and Ken was pleased with whatever Xandar wassaying and showing, especially when he

looked hurt and remorseful when he mentioned the times Lucianne gothurt, and how he blamed himself for each and every mishap.

The pain and fear in Xandar's eyes became apparent when he talkedabout the times he thought Lucianne was going to reject him. Ken sawand felt his sincerity, devotion and love. Maybe he wasn't so bad afterall.

When he returned home, Ken told his mate about his time with Xandar,and said that the boy’ may be right for their daughter. Janice rolled hereyes at her husband and said, “He's the Lycan King, Ken. Did you eventhink that there could be someone better?”

“Titles are just the surface, Jan. You know that. It was his intentions thatI was worried about.” Ken noted.

“Xandar is fine. I'd say he’s the right fit for Lucy, and he's spoiling herlike a princess.”

G

“Like a Queen.” Ken corrected her with pride, and added, “And I can'tbelieve I'm saying this, honey, but I think he's right for Lucy, too.”Xandar and Lucianne stayed in Blue Crescent for a week beforereturning to the Kingdom when Christian informed Xandar that the trialagainst the Kyltons and the others was about to start:
