The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King

Chapter 101

Lucianne tried to stay focused while Xandar took in her scent so intimately, and said, “Alpha Clement… definitely didn’t try to mask his shock.” Xandar took comfort in the fact that Lucianne referred to the Alpha by his title. It meant that she kept her distance from him, which was good enough for now. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

Lucianne continued, “For the few weeks after that, he trained with us. His partner was always Juan. Juan even clocked in more training hours just to get Clement prepared as quickly as possible. When he could beat Juan three days in a row, he went home and challenged his brother. And he won when Jake surrendered. Jake took Iris and a few of their friends with them. They were cast out as rogues, never to return. We haven’t seen or heard from them ever since.”

He buried his nose in her hair, taking in her scent to calm his anxiety and insecurity before he asked, “Did you like him?”

“Clement? Well, he’s nice but…” before Lucianne could finish, Xandar’s Lycan emitted a low, murderous growl.

Lucianne looked up at him and was met with his angered onyx eyes. With a soft gaze, her small hands traced up his hard chest to his neck before going up to his jaw and chin. She then started to gently and slowly stroke his cheek and traced the features on his face.

His bushy eyebrows; his broad forehead; his well-defined nose; his lips. Xandar’s animal emitted a n appreciative growl as the sparks from Lucianne’s touch calmed its being. The onyx shades were diminishing as he took in the sight of his beautiful mate seated on his lap, with his arms fastened around her small body. Her soft gaze quieted the bubbling volcano in him. And his animal purred i n bliss as Lucianne’s hand made its way to Xandar’s thick hair.

With a small smile, she leaned in and pecked a kiss on his lips. Lucianne then pressed her forehead gently on his as she whispered, “I’m with you, my indecent beast. Only you.” She was saying those words more to his animal than to Xandar himself.

Xandar relaxed a little. Only a little. His lips moved to her jaw and traced her skin up to her ear where he muttered in his deep, husky voice, “Should I know anything else about Clement?” The hateful way he said the Alpha’s name did not go unnoticed.

Lucianne chose her next words carefully, “I doubt so, darling. Apart from collaborating as allies, we never kept in touch.” 1

That was good news for the King. “Does he have a mate?”

“He did.” Lucianne responded in a whisper.

Xandar’s head moved away from her neck, and he locked eyes with her when he questioned, “Did?”

Lucianne nodded sadly. “His bonded mate was the former Beta’s daughter. They were engaged but two days before the wedding, Alpha Clement received an anonymous heap of evidence in an envelope, showing that his mate cheated on him with someone from another pack while they were together. So, he rejected her and was left heartbroken for quite some time.”

“You two seem to have something in common.” Xandar said in a dissatisfied tone. 2

Lucianne rolled her eyes. “Don’t discredit me, Xandar. He went through one rejection. I have five of those under my belt. And what is it with you? I was never intimate with Alpha Clement. We have only ever been friends. Honestly, my King, why are you making a big deal out of this? You don’t see me getting angered over your intimate past.”

“That’s because I don’t have one, Lucy.” Xandar said firmly.

Lucianne snorted in disbelief. “You expect me to believe that in your one hundred and seventy eight years as Prince and as King that you were never intimate with any other female? That your first experience of intimate love is with me? You expect me to believe that you’re a virgin, Xandar?”

“Yes.” Xandar affirmed his assertion, his eyes peered into Lucianne’s doubtful black orbs like he was asking her to believe him. 1

“Yeah, right.” Lucianne averted her eyes because she felt a slight discomfort in her chest. Just the thought of Xandar choosing someone else was capable of breaking her into pieces. She knew that he was never intimate with Kelissa Kylton but that didn’t mean there wasn’t anyone else before her.

Many Alphas have numerous sexual partners before finding their mate. Xandar was the King! There was no way he hadn’t already slept with a long line of women before meeting her. Sure, there wasn’t any intimacy but that didn’t mean that there wasn’t any casual sex from time to time.

Lucianne didn’t know but she bit her bottom lip as her arm slowly went across her chest, like she was shielding her heart.

Any remaining jealousy and anger in Xandar vapourized in an instant when he watched her demeanor change. It was painful seeing her arm going across her chest like that. He was the last person who wanted to break her heart, and his Lycan sighed in regret in his head before it made his human part hold her closer. Very cautiously, he removed her hand guarding her heart and planted a deep, assuring kiss on her temple before guiding her head to lean against his chest.

With his other hand, he dialed Christian’s number and waited. Lucianne didn’t know who Xandar was calling. She just assumed it was something about the government or the rogue Lycan. After two rings, Christian’s voice came through the other end of the line, “What’s up, cuz? And why didn’t you just mind- link me?” Lucianne had a ‘what are you doing?’ look when she faced Xandar.
