The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King

Chapter 103

Annie said, “Lucy, these two are weird. They were never the type to go out and look for love, or even something with no strings attached. They filled up a lot of time with combat, travelling, hiking and all those adventurous kinds of things, you know? But I get that you don’t buy it. I didn’t either. It just felt like he was lying to my face.”

“I know, right?!” Lucianne exclaimed at her understanding.

Annie continued, “I mean, one can hardly count the number of people after a Duke, let alone a King!”

Xandar spoke next, “And that’s where our conversation should end. Thanks, An–”

Before he could say goodbye and hang up, Lucianne snatched his phone and covered his mouth with her small hand as she continued speaking to Annie, “And did you know what Xandar was trying to do? He came up with this imaginary number of men after me, and kept

ber of men after me, and kept getting angered over people whom I’ve never even been with!”

Xandar tried taking his phone from her but not before Annie’s voice chimed through the speaker again, “I don’t think those are imaginary, Lucy.”

Xandar stopped his efforts as he waited. And Lucianne suddenly felt like she was about to be betrayed by Annie. The Duchess continued, “When we went to the cafe the other day, many eyes were on you, and it wasn’t because you’re Queen. There was no look of recognition in their eyes, just alluring glances and yearning smirks. So, Xandar’s anger is quite justified if you think about i

ces

Xandar’s insecurity returned strong, and he pressed Lucianne’s body tightly against his again as h e started kissing Lucianne’s hand that was still covering his mouth. When she was retracting it, h e groaned and placed her hand back over his lips and started sucking on it.

His grip was too strong so Lucianne gave up trying to take back her hand as she narrowed her eyes at the phone, “Seriously, Annie? Even if that were true, did you really have to go into such detail?”

Christian’s soft chuckle came from the other end before Annie said, “Well, I haven’t told Christian this either with everything that just happened so I was thinking hm… I could just tell him now when I talk to you.”

“Probably not the best plan, Annie.” Lucianne retorted.

Xandar stopped his assault on her hand for a moment to say, “I disagree. But it’s not like I didn’t already know that. We went out twice already after all. I’d be blind to not see those bastards looking at you like I wasn’t right next to you.”

Annie exclaimed, “Really?! Wow! Even a King can’t project enough fear to stop those eyes. I’m starting to see why Christian used to have a problem with that.”

“Correction, my Duchess. I’m still having a problem with that. Why do you think I prefer ordering

take-outs rather than dine-in?”

Lucianne scoffed not-so-subtly. Annie then said in mock annoyance, “What is it with these cousins? It’s not like we’ll leave them. If anything, they’re m–”

“They’re more likely to leave us! Yes! I’m completely with you mmph-” Lucianne only completed Annie’s sentence midway when Xandar’s lips trapped her in a deep kiss that sent her into a slight daze. The sparks were intense. The sensation spread from her heart and channeled throughout her entire body. It

made her doubt her doubts about Xandar, and her body inched closer to her mate, yearning to close whatever distance left between them.

When their lips parted, Xandar said in a low, firm tone, “Now, that’s a lie.”

Christian joined in, “Calling it a lie is putting it too lightly! It’s total bullsh*t! Neither of us had past lovers. There was never anyone else for us. You two ladies, on the other hand, had someone like that. Plus, one of the things you both have in common is that frustratingly long line of admirers who all look like they’re just waiting for us to screw up so they’ll get a chance to steal you away from us!” 1

It was the first time Lucianne heard Christian sounding so scared and vulnerable, the very same emotions she saw behind Xandar’s partially onyx orbs

Lucianne, whose eyes remained locked with Xandar’s, asked, “Annie, any tips on how I can get out of this? I’ve tried everything I know but I clearly don’t know enough. I keep telling Xandar that I’m only with him but I’m not sure if that’s working for me anymore. Got anything stronger I can use?”

Annie sighed. “If you do, let me know.”…

“Annie, you’ve been married for seventeen years. There must be something you say to calm your

mate.”

Annie sighed. “Yeah, momentarily. What I learned is that his jealousy doesn’t really go away. You can put the angry beast to sleep but…”

“But the beast won’t sleep forever.” Lucianne completed her sentence and chuckled as she leaned into Xandar’s hard chest to listen to his heartbeat as she uttered, “Well, it’s a good thing too, I guess. At least we know they don’t see anyone else.”

Both Xandar and Christian can be heard scoffing, and there was a moment of silence before Xandar pecked a kiss on Lucianne’s forehead, his eyes already returned to its original lilac color a s he gazed at her in pure bliss.

Annie’s voice then broke through the silence, “Lucy, Xandar told Christian you read a lot. If you find anything to calm these two Lycan men, please let me know. Preferably something that makes them magically see that us leaving them is downright ridiculous.”

Before either cousin could speak, Lucianne exclaimed, “Will do, Annie!” Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

“C-Cuz, what just happened?” Christian asked like he was just brought out of a daze.

Xandar sighed, “Our Queen trapped me in her eyes so I couldn’t focus or respond on time.”

Christian agreed, “Same here with my Duchess. Dangerous creatures, aren’t they?” Despite his

choice of words, his voice only echoed love, affection and devotion.

Xandar pecked a kiss on Lucianne’s temple before he uttered in agreement, “Dangerous at its highest degree.”
