The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King novel Chapter 107

Chapter 107

“Uh…” Christian started groping for the right words, and Lucianne raised her eyebrows waiting for a proper sentence to come out of his mouth, which never came.

Christian gave up trying and looked at Toby before he asked, “Gamma Tobias, could you show me that backflip the Queen taught us this moming again?”

Everyone saw through the Duke’s terrible attempt to change the subject. Toby looked at Lucianne for what to do next. She gave her best friend a meek smile and said, “Go on, Toby. Guide the Duke.”

“Okay, sure.” Toby agreed without question, and he gestured Christian to another mat close by.

She walked to her mate as he got up. She didn’t even bother beating around the bush when she linked, ‘What is it that you’re not telling me?’

His eyes widened and locked with hers when he linked frantically in response, ‘What? Nothing!’

“Then why did you two freeze like statues when Toby and I showed up? And do you think I didn’t notice that your mind was elsewhere at breakfast?’

He sighed. ‘Lucy, I’m just worried.’

‘About the corruption case?’

‘It’s more than that.’

‘Like what?’

Xandar averted his eyes as he linked, ‘Babe, it’s nothing. You don’t have to know.’ 1

Lucianne raised her eyebrows before scoffing to herself and linking, ‘I don’t have to know, I see.’ She was biting her lower lip as her eyes fixed on the ground when Xandar looked at her. She turned, and was about to walk away when Xandar grabbed her arm and turned her to face him. Her angered face and glistening eyes broke Xandar and his animal. What had he done?

“Baby, what’s wrong?” Xandar asked as he cupped her cheeks.

She averted her eyes and took his hands away before she said, “It’s nothing. You don’t have to know.” She tried to break away but Xandar’s grip on her elbows didn’t allow it.

“Lucy, I’m sorry I said that. It won’t happen again. Just…please…I love you. Baby, just tell me what’s bothering you.”

“What’s bothering me is that you aren’t telling me what’s bothering you. Think you can fix it?”

He stiffened as he took in her hurt expression which made his own animal whimper. Xandar then pressed her body into his chest as he muttered, “I’m sorry, sweetheart. I just have a lot going on in my mind. I was just thinking that…when Greg left you the evidence last night, some part of me felt that he did it because he’s in love with you. I was so scared that you’d be in love with him too.”
