The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King novel Chapter 106

Chapter 106

“Yeah, cuz. Why?” Christian asked between trying to lay a punch on Xandar at training after Xandar told him about Greg’s message.

When Xandar pinned Christian on the ground and got him to surrender, Christian accepted his best friend’s outstretched hand to help him up as he smiled and said, “Wow, the Queen sure knows her stuff. Within five minutes of teaching you the new technique, she got you to take me down faster than you ever have. I’m practicing it next, just to be fair.”

When Xandar offered a meek smile and said nothing, Christian patted his shoulder and asked, “So, does she have any theories on Greg?”

“No.” Xandar answered flatly.

“Do you?” Christian asked.

When the cousins locked eyes, Christian saw that he had hit the jackpot, “So, what’s your theory, cuz? Judging by the way you look, I doubt you told the Queen.”

Xandar instinctively looked around to make sure Lucianne wasn’t nearby before he asked his cousin,for more visit :- www.noveljar.com “Do you think Greg may be in love with her?”

Christian’s eyes snapped wide before he scoffed and burst out laughing. Seeing that many were starting to look their way, Christian decided to use their mind-link, ‘Greg? Love? Cuz, how did your brain even relate Greg to that word? The dude knows nothing about something as sacred as love! H e never did! He sleeps with a different woman every night, remember?’

“I asked the Chief about his whereabouts this morning. Greg’s still missing. And when they looked through the footage from his house, only one woman came and left his house once in the last nine days.”

‘So, the significance of that is that Greg knows what love is?’

‘No. The significance of that is that Greg and Lucy met nine days ago. I counted.’

‘So? It wasn’t the Queen who went to his house. He’s still sleeping around…well, more selectively now, it seems, with one woman and all.’

‘That’s the problem.’Xandar’s eyes locked with his cousin before he continued, “They didn’t sleep together. He threw that woman out on his lawn despite the advances she made.’

This got Christian’s attention. Doubt began to grow in his eyes. ‘Greg doesn’t reject offers. Are they sure, cuz?’

Xandar nodded. The police had already looked through three weeks worth of footage when I called. Before Greg and Lucy met, he had a woman every night. But from the night after they met, the women just…vanished.’

Christian got lost in thought before he linked baselessly, for more visit :- www.noveljar.com ‘It’s not possible. Greg wouldn’t…love. He doesn’t even know what that is. And he never puts anyone before himself.’

‘Then why would he leave that incriminating evidence to Lucy before disappearing? Why not just leave it with the police or with you or me?’

‘Okay, cuz. First, he hates us as much as we hate him. Second, he hates everything and everyone i n law enforcement that includes the police.’

‘Lucy’s on our side. Why doesn’t he hate her like he does us?’

Christian was left speechless. He didn’t have an explanation. So, Xandar continued, ‘Remember the other day at the hospital? He came and asked about Lucy? He said I was supposed to protect her?’

Christian scoffed. ‘He yelled, you mean?’

‘I thought he was just trying to make me feel worse than I already was. What if his outburst was because he actually cared about what happened to her?’

‘Just because he demanded to know the truth, it doesn’t mean he cares, cuz.’

‘Wait…’ Christian paused to digest everything before he asked, ‘Why would Greg want to know who almost killed the Queen if he was the one who ordered the kill.’

Xandar helped him through his thoughts, ‘May have been acting on her own when she hired the assassin for Russell. for more visit :- www.noveljar.com If she was coerced, it’s getting difficult to believe that it was Greg.’

‘But if Greg is innocent, why would he see the need to disappear now?’
