The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King novel Chapter 105

Chapter 105

‘Greg.’ Christian linked.

Xandar took a moment to digest that fact before he linked, ‘They all said that?’

‘Yup.’ Xandar sighed before he asked, ‘I hope they’re arresting him, then?”

‘Uh-huh. teams have already been deployed when the Chief made the call to your place. He just wanted to let you know seeing that he’s your other cousin.’

‘I see. Thanks for letting me know, Christian.’

‘No problem. Charge your phone, cuz.’

‘Yeah, I’ll do that.’

When his eyes cleared, he saw that both of Lucianne’s small hands were wrapped around one of his large ones as she traced the lines on his palm and fingers. Lucianne didn’t know that the mind -link had ended, and she continued minding her own business with her mate’s rough and strong hands. But when Xandar suddenly trapped both of hers in the one she was playing with, her eyes snapped up to his partially onyx orbs.

“It’s Greg, baby,” he uttered ominously.

Lucianne blinked in confusion as she asked, “Greg is what, darling?”

He hugged her close as he explained, “Greg is the leader of Wu Bi Corp. He ordered the silver that hurt you in the Jewel Pack. He sent those rogues that killed so many of your kind. He was the one who came up with the scheme of siphoning funds. I don’t know if he forced Cummings and the others to join his corrupted scheme, but he was definitely the one spearheading it. Odds are, he even had Tanner send that assassin after Russell which got you hurt, using her to cover his tracks.”

Lucianne’s soft face turned serious as she pondered on his words. Something seemed off to her. If i t really were Greg, and if he really wanted to kill her with silver and Goddess knows whatever else he had access to with Wu Bi’s resources, how was she still alive?

He could very well kill her whenever she was alone: on her morning runs when Xandar hadn’t joined her yet; when she excused herself from the dining hall to use the washroom; whenever she was in her hotel room alone; or even before Xandar arrived at the hospital after she fell unconscious. Annie was there with her but Greg wouldn’t have been scared of the Duchess.

If he wanted her dead…why go after Russell? If Greg really wrote the note on the knife, why was it addressed to Ellia and not Lucianne herself? Ellia didn’t even know Greg as far as Lucianne and Annie could gather from their conversations with her.

“Baby, a penny for your thoughts?” Xandar said with obvious worry.

Lucianne’s doubtful expression met his when she asked with furrowed eyebrows, “Are you sure it’s

Greg?”

Xandar blinked in surprise before he responded, “Their stories seem to match up. Cummings and the others, I mean. If it wasn’t Greg, why would they all say that it’s him?”

Their sights glanced at the door and then back at each other before Xandar asked, “Were you expecting someone, Lucy?”
