The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King novel Chapter 122

Chapter 122

The Lycans and the two Alphas growled at the rogue but Lucianne’s eyes widened in realization. This was what Jake meant when he said she wasn’t going to like what their client ordered for her. The poison on the arrow could be one to render her infertile! It didn’t hurt because it wasn’t a fatal poison, it was a permanent contraceptive!

Her eyes began glistening, which made the rogue smirk even wider. With gritted teeth, Lucianne lifted up the Oleander blade next to her before plunging it into the rogue’s collarbone. It was the slowest way to transmit the poison, according to her books. That was what she wanted for the rogue. A slow, painful death.

She fixed her eyes on the rogue, wanting to see the light in his eyes dim before her. When his being gave i n and his body lost its strength, her hand subconsciously went to her abdomen as she let the first of her tears fall.

The Lycan Warriors were shocked at the sight, and their lifted heads tilted downwards as Xandar asked in a gentle voice, for more Daily updates visit :- www.noveljar.com “Baby, hey. Is it the pain from the arrow?”

Lucianne shook her head in response. But she didn’t trust her voice to be steady so she mind-linked her mate, ‘The poison on the arrow suppresses pregnancy.’

Xandar’s eyes widened but he tried to remain calm for his mate as he linked her back, ‘Babe, we don’t know that. The rogue was clearly a lunatic. He was probably trying to mess with your thoughts. We’ll get D 1. Yeil to check on it, alright?’

When he got no response and heard her first sob, Xandar held her even closer to his chest before planting a deep kiss on her forehead and said, “It’s going to be okay, Lucy. It’s going to be okay.”

After taking note that Forest Gloom had lost three warriors in the battle, those who came from the collaboration boarded Xandar’s jet to make their way back. They picked up the pack leaders and Lycan warriors from Blood Eclipse and Midnight on the way.

Tate, unlike during the flight to Forest Gloom, now chose to sit at a spot where he could see Lucianne on Xandar’s lap. He and Clement didn’t speak this time. Both Alphas were blaming themselves for how careless they’d been to not shield Lucianne from the arrow.

They still didn’t know what was on it that made Lucianne cry for a good half-an-hour on the battlefield. But having Lucianne cry in public like that when she never did was enough to know that whatever was laced on the arrow had to be very damaging.

Xandar’s thumb didn’t stop stroking his mate’s shoulder, and as painful as it was to see her tear-stained face, he just couldn’t look away. Suddenly, his mate’s eyes glazed over and she sat upright on his lap. He adjusted himself to support her posture as best as he could.

‘Lucy, what was on the arrow?’ Juan asked in a demanding voice through their link, getting to the point.

‘Who told you?’

‘Tate. Clement. Does it matter? What was on it?’ Juan was getting impatient. He knew that if something could make his sister cry in public, it had to be beyond bad.

Lucianne inhaled deeply before she linked back, ‘It’s not confirmed by a medical examination yet but from

what the rogue was trying to indicate, it was probably…a poison to suppress pregnancy indefinitely.’ Tears escaped her eyes as she linked that, and she hastily wiped some off before Xandar kissed away the rest as he continued to wait patiently.

There was a moment of silence from Juan’s end before he linked back in suppressed anger, for more Daily updates visit :- www.noveljar.com ‘I see. Get some rest. I’ll see you when you land.’ He ended the link.

When her eyes cleared, Lucianne leaned back into her mate’s chest as she muttered, “It was just Juan.” Xandar kissed her hair, and just as Lucianne was about to close her eyes, she heard Zeke hissed softly,” Jesus, Juan.”

Her eyes snapped open and she saw Zeke, Zelena and Lovelace squinting their eyes while one hand went over their ear like they just heard something deafening. She then looked over to Tate and Clement, whose postures were bolted upright as their eyes glazed over. Clement swallowed a lump in his throat and had a terrified expression. Tate’s fists were clenched, and his jaw was hardened.

“Oh, no.” Lucianne muttered as she sat upright on her mate’s lap again.

“Baby, what is it?” Xandar asked in concern as he held her by her abdomen and lower back.”

Lucianne sighed in dismay before saying, “Just give me a few minutes, darling. I have a very angry Alpha t o stop.”

Before she could begin linking, Xandar exclaimed softly, “Who? What do you mean?”

“My overprotective brother is mad that I was shot by an arrow. He’s probably lecturing Tate and Clement i n the pack leaders group-link right now. I have to stop him. Just give me a few minutes, dearest.”

“Okay.” Xandar said in uncertainty..

After several failed attempts to link her brother, Lucianne groaned as she forced herself into the pack leaders’ group link. The first thing she heard was Juan’s loud voice, ‘YOU BOTH KNEW SHE’S TARGETED! HOW HARD WAS IT TO

Lucianne growled through the link, stopping Juan from finishing his sentence. What she didn’t know was that she was growling aloud, too. And the Lycan warriors flinched in their seats at their Queen’s ferocity. Those dozing off were jolted awake as well. But they all sought comfort in the fact that even the King flinched a little when his homicidal-looking mate growled with glazed over eyes on his lap.

‘Juan! No one saw the arrow coming! This isn’t anyone’s fault!

‘Let me deal with this, Lucy. Get out.’ Juan tried to be as gentle as possible with his little sister.

‘I’m not leaving! You can’t blame Tate and Clement for not seeing what none of us could see.’

‘YOU COULD HAVE DIED, LUCY! THAT ARROW COULD HAVE GONE RIGHT THROUGH YOUR HEART!

‘BUT IT DIDN’T! AND IT WAS NEVER MEANT TO GO THROUGH MY HEART! IT WAS NEVER MEANT TO KILL ME! THE POINT OF THAT POISON WAS TO LEAVE ME WITHOUT KIDS OF MY OWN FOR THE REST O F MY LIFE, NOT SEND ME TO MY DEATHBED!’ 1

Zelena and Lovelace gasped audibly at Lucianne’s revelation. Zeke held his mate’s hand tightly to cope with the distress. Clement, despite his glazed over eyes, held his head down in guilt and remorse, Tate was already fighting back tears. They all knew Lucianne long enough to know how much she loved children. for more Daily updates visit :- www.noveljar.com The arrow took that away from her. How could they let it happen?

Juan tried to be as calm as possible when he linked, ‘Lucy, that should have never happened to you. Your

mate was supposed to protect you. Tate and Clement were supposed to…’

‘Stop it, Juan! Just stop it! Do you think they wouldn’t have shielded me if they saw the arrow coming?! Do you think they didn’t place their lives before mine?! We’ve all trained to put each other before ourselves! Tate and Clement are no different! Xandar is no different! Stop blaming them! No one wanted this! It isn’t anyone’s fault! I’m telling you, Juan. You better stop this before I faint, or that would be on you.’
