The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King novel Chapter 136

Chapter 136

Livia was undaunted despite Greg’s hostility. She flicked her high ponytail to the back to expose her bare shoulders, and leaned towards the table between her and the Duke. Her red-colored, sweetheart neckline dress did everything to advertise her cleavage as she said, “I came with a proposition, your Grace.”

“Not interested. Get out, Livia. Don’t make me tell you again.” Greg snapped, and took another sip from his glass as he averted his eyes from her and started staring into space while he waited for her to leave.

Livia simpered, and leaned back into her seat as she signaled the bartender for a drink before returning her sights to Greg. His eyes had turned onyx, and it was nothing close to lust. Livia was well-aware of that this time.

“That’s it.” Greg signaled his men and the bouncers approached his table in quick steps.

“Before you do that, you might want to think about what would happen to a certain wolf if you threw me out.” Livia uttered his way in a taunting manner.

Greg’s hand raised without needing to think, halting his three men at the exact moment they had reached his table. His voice was low when he asked, “You’re threatening me?”

Livia’s lips pursed in contemplation for a brief second before they flatten themselves out when she said,“ No, a threat seems murderous. I prefer the word ‘warn’ or ‘caution’.”

“And if I don’t heed to your warning, you’ll do what? Hurt the Queen?”

“Something like that.”

“I applaud how you’re not turning red in embarrassment right now. We both know you have no skill set to accomplish that. And you’re far from having such connections.”

“Who said that the connections are mine?”

Greg was a little surprised to hear that. “Hm. Been making friends, I see.”

“Something like that.”

“You’re an idiot to think you can hurt the Queen, by the way. She’s stronger than you think, and her allies would do anything to defend her.” Greg said in utmost confidence.

Livia smirked arrogantly as she said, “Funny how they couldn’t protect her from her most recent…mishap.”

His eyes burned into hers when he asked, “What mishap?”

Livia mocked a surprised expression as she said, “You don’t know? She went off to fight a few rogues with her friends yesterday. They thought they were winning until an arrow no one saw impaled right through her flesh.”

“Wolves heal, you fool.” Greg muttered. But internally, his heart clenched when Livia mentioned Lucianne was hurt by an arrow. What the f*ck was his cousin doing?! How many times will he let Lucianne get hurt before he learned to protect her?!

Livia saw the flash of hurt come and leave Greg’s eyes. Her calm demeanor was beginning to fade with the jealousy building in her chest as she spat, “No, your Grace. You’re the fool! You’re a fool if you think the arrow was just an arrow!”

If it were possible, Greg’s already-onyx eyes turned a shade darker as he demanded to know, “What did

you do to her?”

Livia emitted a low growl at how protective he was to another woman before she declared firmly,” Nothing she doesn’t deserve! You’ve always been proud of your connections and resources. Well, now’s the time to put them to good use and find out for yourself what happened to the woman you can never get.”

Greg growled ferociously, and the casino started to quiet down. One of his men held Livia by her neck on the Duke’s command. The crowd watched in shock at Livia gritting her teeth to cope with the discomfort o f being strangled, her fingernails scratching the bouncer’s large hand, a desperate plea to be released, but t o no avail.

Livia adamantly fixed her eyes on Greg as she choked out, “If…….die…so will…she.”

Greg’s merciless gaze turned hesitant. He knew that Livia never had the resources to hurt a fly, let alone kill Lucianne. But she was never one to make empty threats. She never made any threats, to be honest. He thought hard about whether Lucianne would be harmed if his men killed Livia right then and there.

Lucianne was strong. But the people around her were not. The Oleander blade she took for the child proved that she was still susceptible to injuries and even…death. The thought of Lucianne’s death on his hands was too painful to be pushed aside, and Greg reluctantly gave a hand signal for his man to release Livia.
