The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King novel Chapter 126

Chapter 126

Lucianne coughed profusely after choking on the broccoli she was chewing in her mouth when they were told that Christian was one of the people they’d have to investigate for sexual harassment.

Her choking made Xandar’s eyes snapped wider in worry as he took his phone from her hand and placed i t on the couch while he rubbed comforting circles on her back, holding a glass of water near her.

“My Queen! Are you alright?!” Weaver’s panicked voice came through the line.

After a few more coughs, Lucianne took a few sips of water before she managed to say, “F-Fine, Sir Weaver. Thank -” Cough. “Thank you. Sorry about that, Lord Yarrington. Please continue.”

Weaver spoke before his mate could, “My Queen, this is entirely our fault. You shouldn’t have to apologize.”

Lord Yarrington sounded guilty when he said, “Apologies, my Queen. I didn’t mean to startle you.”

“No no. I’m fine. Please continue the uh…complaints made against Christian. Who are they?” Lucianne insisted as she took sips from the glass of water Xandar placed into her hands, prompting her to drink itt o clear her throat.

Yarrington proceeded to explain, “The ten complainants are all wolves from different packs, my Queen. And the range of the complaints goes back ten years, one in each year. But there’s also a possibility that this may be a false complaint lodged for…slanderous intentions.”

Xandar then asked, “What makes you say that?”

“Well, my King. There have been three complaints made against Weaver, alleging that, on separate occasions, Weaver coerced the complainants into performing sexual intercourse at a nightclub in the neighboring town. I checked the times and dates the purported intercourses took place, and I found that it can’t be true. Weaver and I were together on all three occasions. The first one was when we were both at a gender-reveal party at my sister’s place; the second was when we were at the movies on our anniversary; and the third was the night when Weaver had food poisoning, and I was by his side all day as he made frequent trips to the washroom. It couldn’t be Weaver.” 1

“Maybe it was just someone who looked like Weaver and the women were confused?” Xandar suggested.

Weaver spoke next, “That was what we thought at first, too, my King. But we think that it’s too much of a coincidence that three people from the collaboration can mistake me for someone else. Your Highnesses, we think that someone may be trying to…have this swept under the mat. Seeing as how close you both are to the Duke, implanting fake complaints may be a way to defeat the progress of the investigation.” 1

“Well, we can’t let that happen.” Xandar muttered.

Lucianne then asked, “Are Sir Weaver’s complainants wolves as well, Lord Yarrington?”

“Yes, my Queen.”

“Which packs are they from?”

“Uh…just a moment, my Queen.” There were a few clicking sounds before Yarrington responded, “Black River, Fleet Woods and Night Pine.”

Lucianne scoffed, “Fleet Woods hasn’t existed since a rogue massacre four years ago. No one survived. I’ll check with the Alphas of Black River and…”
