The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King
Chapter 35

Chapter 35

When Dr Yeil asked if she herself knew about her own peculiarity, Xandar asked Lucianne to tell himabout the childhood game she played with Juan and a few others. The doctor noted it and asked whethershe had any other peculiarities, apart from her abnormal resistance to silver.

“I have a striped tail, does that count?” Lucianne asked curiously.

“I’m sorry, my Queen. A what?” The doctor asked in total confusion.

Lucianne explained how her white wolf had grey stripes only on her tail. Xandar listened attentively butembarrassment soon crept into his being. How can he proudly declare that he loved her when he didn’teven know that distinct part of Lucianne’s wolf? (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)Heknew that it had white fur with blue eyes because he saw her like that in the Jewel Pack the other day.But he must have missed her tail because he was focused on the blood from the wound. 1

As if to make himself feel better, he started caressing Lucianne’s shoulders in soothing strokes while sheexplained to Dr Yeil that she had gone through every book she could replace o n irregular wolf features butnothing came up.

“I must say that I’ve never heard of such a thing either, your Highnesses. But uh, my Queen, perhapsconsider that the striped tail may not be a peculiarity exhibited only by wolves.”

Lucianne pondered before responding, “So, you’re saying that I may have a peculiarity of anotherspecies, like a human, a vampire, or…”

“Or a Lycan.” The doctor suggested. “Lycans are known to be generally more resistant to silver.”

Lucianne thought for a moment, and shook her head as she said, “That’s not possible. There are noLycans in my bloodline. And if there were, I’d be a Lycan right now, not a werewolf.”

Dr Yeil then offered his opinion, “I wouldn’t say that you have Lycan blood per se. But perhaps the MoonGoddess gave you different peculiarities from different species. You’re not a hybrid, more like…awerewolf with a few bonus attributes.”

“So…my tail is supposed to be able to do something?”

“Maybe, maybe not. And until you’ve tested the limits of your peculiarities, I doubt you’d know the fullextent of them.”

Lucianne was confused, “What does that mean?”

“Well,” the doctor began explaining, (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)“You told methat you swallowed merely drops of silver a sa child but the silver on the knife that was in your bodywould be more than a few drops, don’t you think?” .

“Yes.”

“And silver harms werewolf children just as they would adults. An adult werewolf can be killed by thesame amount of silver as the amount given to a child. They don’t become more resistant to silver, evenwith age.”

“That’s true.”

“Well, then. That would mean that not only are you more resistant to silver, your resistance strengthenswith each encounter your body has with that substance.”

“I become more resistant to silver each time it enters my body. That… might be true.” The doctor waitedin anticipation so Lucianne explained, “In a few battles I fought in before the one in the Jewel Pack, therewere rogues and hunters who scratched my skin or stabbed me with a silver blade. It hurt very badly thefirst few times but, even then, I was never hospitalized like the others. Later, bearing with the pain justgot…more doable, as long as I took the blade out quickly. I thought I was just getting used to the pain.”

The doctor then looked at her and asked, “I need to ask, my Queen, do you smell silver before you seeit?”

“Of course, doesn’t everyone?” Lucianne said without hesitation.

The doctor and Xandar glanced at one another before Xandar said, “Lucy, I don’t get any scent fromsilver. Neither does Christian or any other Lycan I know.”

The doctor explained, “That’s because silver is scientifically proven to have no distinct scent.”

Lucianne furrowed her eyebrows, “That doesn’t sound right. Silver smells like the grass after the raincombined with mercury and a faint whiff of tar. Nothing metallic.”

The doctor frowned, “My Queen, mercury has no distinct smell either.” 1

She looked at the doctor, and then at Xandar who looked like he was thinking hard. She then dove intoher own thoughts. Why was she the only one smelling these things? What was wrong with her? If therewas nothing wrong, then what were these peculiarities going to do? Why was she never taught how toharness what she was given by the Moon Goddess? It felt like their Goddess treated her like anexperiment, throwing in random things and sending her into the world to see how she’ll fare.

‘Five mate bond severances and now this? Seriously? Moon Goddess, what have I ever done toyou?'(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) Lucianne thought to herself.

She then asked in despair, “Why me? Why did the Moon Goddess choose me to test this… peculiaritycombination? I’m just…a wolf, a normal wolf.”

The doctor scoffed, “Are you really just that, my Queen?” The emphasis on her future title madeLucianne drop silent. The doctor smiled, “I wouldn’t worry about any of it. It’s just interesting to know. Ipersonally can’t wait to see what your tail is capable of doing.”

Lucianne then asked, “Are there Lycans with stripes on their bodies?”

The doctor then shook his head, “Not that I’ve heard of. But who knows? You may be the first.”

When they got back into the car, Xandar pecked a kiss on Lucianne’s cheek and said,” Another first. Andjust to be clear, babe, you’re anything but a normal wolf.”

Her cheeks blushed at his kiss and his praise. That flustered sight of Lucianne never fails to makeXandar and his animal happy.

After giving his plan some thought, Xandar glanced at Lucianne as he drove and said, “Hey, baby?”

“Hm?”

“Can I take you out? Like on an actual date? I feel like I don’t really know you yet.”

She was in a mood to be cheeky again, “I’m not sure if that’s a good idea, my King. You may not like meif you get too close. I’m too blunt. I may say something that you won’t like. Plus, you’ve seen my acting.How would you know that I’m not just going after whoever sits on the throne?”

Xandar scoffed. Then, he took one hand off the steering wheel and reached for her hand before lacinghis fingers with hers. “My darling, you wanted to get rid of me the first moment we met despite knowingthat I am King. I highly doubt you care about the throne.”

“Shoot! You’re no fun.” She complained in a teasing manner.

He smiled wider and then continued, “And if you think that being blunt is going to drive me away, youwould be very wrong. If you haven’t noticed, your words do two things to me: make me look at you likeyou’re the Goddess herself, or get me aroused.” She bit her lip before she said softly, “There’s a thirdthing, too. I hurt you with my words. I hurt you that first night and also in the Jewel Pack with what I said.”

She then sighed, “I may have gone a little overboard with what I said at the Jewel Pack and that firstnight was… uncalled for. I’m sorry.”

Xandar kept stroking her hand as he said, “That first night. You had a reason. I don’t blame you. I didn’tunderstand it at that time but after you told me about your past, I understood why you said the things youdid. And uh…the Jewel Pack.”

He sighed before saying, “It really was my fault. I didn’t realize until after I’d finished…yelling at you that Iactually really wanted to yell at myself. I made a promise to our Goddess the night before that I wouldprotect you and make you happy. When I saw you there, wounded, drained and exhausted after thebattle, I just… I felt like I had let you down.”

Lucianne insisted firmly, “You didn’t, Xandar! Why would you even think that? It was all the rogues doing.You saved me. If you and Christian didn’t come, everyone in that space that day wouldn’t have survived.I thought you knew this. You said so yourself in your speech.”

His voice exuded regret, “I know but…” he sighed, “I can’t help but feel that I should have done

more, that I should’ve just…been better.” Lucianne didn’t know he was still blaming himself for whathappened the other day. But she understood where he was coming from. When she had to watch herfriends die on the battlefield, she felt helpless. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)Shewould mourn their deaths and wonder why she couldn’t be there for them, why she couldn’t…be better.

None of them spoke for a moment, then Lucianne lifted his hand up to her lips before pecking a kiss atthe back of Xandar’s hand like he always did for her. Xandar thanked Goddess that he had just parkedthe car outside the dining hall when she did that. His shock a t her initiative would have taken all hisattention away from the road. Then again, knowing his mate, she would’ve taken their situation intoaccount before she decided to kiss his hand.

His shocked lilac eyes locked with her affectionate black ones as she said clearly and firmly,” You’remore than what you think of yourself, Alexandar, believe me.” Xandar felt his eyes glistening and hisheart melting. Her voice was so beautiful, so sincere. Her words reached the deepest parts of his heart,giving birth to a sense of warmth that he thought he wouldn’t experience again after the passing of hismother and aunt.

“You’re more, really.” She repeated sincerely, firmly and convincingly.

He kissed her deeply with all the love he could channel from his lips to hers, and whispered,” Thank you,baby.” Xandar then buried his face in her neck and took in her scent. For once, she didn’t stop him. Herscent soothed the anxiety he had. After a while, Lucianne whispered softly, “Xandar, we should go innow.”

“Mmm…okay.” He took in another deep breath from her neck and kissed it deeply, making Lucianne letout an audible moan, which in turn got Xandar aroused. ‘That is the sexiest thing I have ever heard,’ hethought to himself. Apart from his own arousal, he caught another scent.

The new scent was mixed with Lucianne’s normal scent of jasmine and butterfly pea. Xandar had aguess but he had to do something to confirm his suspicions. Without warning, he pressed his lips againsthers and licked them in lust to seek access to her mouth. (This novel will be daily updtaed atwww.noveljar.com)When Lucianne let out a second moan, the new scent got stronger, confirmingXandar’s suspicions that it was the scent of her arousal. His self-control was vanishing with her moansand the new scent. His tongue plunged into the depths of her mouth as he savored her taste. His animalwas ecstatic that they finally got their mate aroused. 2 Lucianne pushed his shoulders away gently andsaid with dazed eyes, “W-We should g-go in… w-while we’re still in control.”

“Mmm…losing control isn’t all bad, baby.” He started kissing her jaw as the smell of his arousal continuedto fill the space in the car.

With both her hands, Lucianne held on the sides of his head to push it away from her face,” Xandar,please.”

“Say yes.” He said in a husky voice as he took her hand from the side of his face to press it over his lips,kissing her small palm.

Still trying to come out of a daze, Lucianne stuttered, “T-To what?”

“A date, Lucy.” 1

After averting gaze and blinking her eyes a few times to bring herself out of the daze, she scoffed andher lips curled into a smile before she said, “I was already going to say yes when you first askedanyway.”

Lucianne let go of his face and opened the door to get out, leaving Xandar in the car smiling like he hadjust won the lottery, and maybe he did. Her arousal AND her saying yes to a date, that was two lotteriesin one day.
