The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King novel Chapter 128

Chapter 128

Chief Dalloway shook his head woefully, and the policeman who stood at the door held his head low. The Chief then said, “The Oleander bullets penetrated right through their hearts. The medical team couldn’t save them.”

Lucianne inhaled deeply and exhaled sadly before she said, “I am so sorry for your loss.”

“Thank you, my Queen.” Chief Dalloway responded with a polite smile, and the policeman gave her a grateful nod.

Lucianne then cleared her throat before asking, “As for the location where the helicopter was found, do you happen to have any pictures of the site?”

“I do, in fact. A moment please, your Highness.” The Chief took out his phone from his pocket, and scrolled through it for a while before placing it on the table and gently pushing it towards Lucianne.

She lifted up the phone and enlarged the photo to study the sandy beach and thick jungle next to where the hijacked police helicopter seemed to have landed safely. Lucianne then pushed the phone in the two cousins’ way for them to have a look as she asked the Chief, “The jungle is being searched now, I presume?”

“Indeed, my Queen. It’s been two hours but we haven’t found anything as of yet, I’m afraid.”

Xandar then asked, “Does Alfred Cummings know where his daughter would be taken by any chance?”

“I doubt it, your Highness. When I questioned him on the matter, he was genuinely shocked and worried. M y men had to restrain him when he started throwing expletives and blaming the police force for what he labeled as an ‘abduction’ of his daughter.”

Christian then muttered in dissatisfaction, “Looks more like an escape to me. Any thoughts of seeking ransom from abducting the daughter would just backfire. Her father’s assets have been frozen.”

Xandar grew contemplative as he thought aloud, “If ransom is out of the question, and it’s really not an abduction….why would someone want to help his daughter escape? What could she possibly have to offer? As far as I know, she has no wealth of her own so she wouldn’t be able to contribute to anything financially. If the escape was aided by someone who she shares close relations with, her brother is the only one that comes to mind after her father. But her brother doesn’t seem to get along with her so it’s unlikely that he would help her escape.”

Chief Dalloway’s uneasiness returned when he said, “If I may, my King. Mr Sebastian Cummings did visit his sister late evening the other day when she was brought into police custody.”

Lucianne held her mate’s hand to calm him as Xandar asked, “What was the context of their conversation? Was it about planning her escape?”

“No, my King. Uh… it was about…” the Chief looked at Lucianne nervously. Lucianne helped the poor old man by saying what was in his mind, “Me.”

He nodded and continued, “Ms Cummings felt that her brother was still carrying a torch for you, my Queen. And in doing so she criticized him for being blinded by what she deemed to be the truth, that her so -called..misfortune and that of her father’s have been caused by y-”
