The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King novel Chapter 127

Chapter 127

At breakfast the next day, Christian was still pissed. The only consolation he got was that Annie didn’t believe he did any of those things alleged by the so-called ‘victims’. Yarrington and Weaver assured the Duke that they were looking into the complaints made against him first, and asked for an alibi for the dates and times mentioned in the ten complaints.

He and Annie went through their photographs in their iCloud Drive, and managed to negate the validity of two complaints. Then, they got out their photo albums, where Annie had a habit of writing the dates on the back of every photograph. Christian began regretting not making time to upload every photograph they took together on the Drive.

They scoured through the thousands of pictures they took over the years, praying that there would be a date and time which would match up with the ones in the allegations. After four hours, they managed to negate another three complaints.

Xandar and Lucianne cross-checked the dates and times with government meetings recorded on Xandar’s laptop, and managed to negate the credibility of another three complaints. That left two more complaints standing against the Duke.

What made the Duke’s temperament worse was that the anonymous informant’s number that the journalists and reporters gave him tumed out to be unreachable. Chief Dalloway and his people tracked the phone to a dumpster, and retrieved it before sending it to the lab for a fingerprint scan. Alas, the scan tumed out to be fruitless because no registered citizen’s fingerprints matched the ones found on the burner phone.

“I honestly can’t see how my wife is so calm about this. I can kill, and I mean literally kill right now, cuz, you know what I mean?” Christian said after swallowing his food.

Xandar gave his cousin an encouraging pat on his shoulder before he said, “They’re looking into it. Yarrington and Weaver have always been efficient. They’ll crack this case soon, Christian.”

Christian’s orbs were onyx when he declared, “The only thing I’m going to crack is the complainants’ heads over these fake complaints. All ten of them. I don’t care if you put me in jail, cuz.”

“I could break you out if you do it.” Lucianne offered. 1

That seemed to calm Christian a little. He managed a small smile as he bowed slightly in her way when he said, “Thank you, my Queen.”

Xandar looked at his mate in mock disapproval, “My Queen, that is no way to treat a murderer. And do you even know how to break someone out of prison, sweetheart?”

Lucianne shook her adorable head as she said, “No. But there’s a first time for everything.”

The cousins chuckled lightly in response. Lucianne felt bad for Christian when he had to go through the frustration of being blamed for something he would not even think of doing, so she was glad that she could lighten his mood, even if it was just momentarily.

She spoke to Annie before breakfast, and the Duchess was more worried about her mate losing his temper in public than about the harassment allegations made against him.
