The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King novel Chapter 14

Chapter 14

‘CUZ! WAKE UP, NOW!’ Christian’s mind-link woke Xandar in an instant. He checked the time on his alarm clock. It was only 2:58 a.m.

“This better be good, Christian.’ He groaned.

‘Get your ass out of bed and get to the Jewel Pack RIGHT THIS SECOND! I’ll meet you there. I’ve just told Annie. And where the f*ck was your phone?!’

‘What do you mean?’ He searched for his phone, and realized that it wasn’t in his room.

‘Our Queen and some wolves have gone to the Jewel Pack. She told the guard at the hotel that there was going to be a rogue attack.’

‘WHAT?! WHY DIDN’T SHE TELL ME?!’

‘Check your phone before you start blaming the Queen, your Highness. Do you know how many times the guard himself tried to reach you? We were lucky that I fell asleep with my phone in my hand.’ Christian linked as he addressed his cousin with his title in pure sarcasm.

Xandar finally found his phone in the living room. When he saw the number of missed calls from an unknown number and one from Lucianne along with a message, he linked, ‘F*CK! I’ll meet you there!

‘Should I link Cummings and Whitlaw, cuz?’

‘Yes, ask them to get there as soon as they can. Where are you now?’

‘I’ve just sprinted out of the house. Getting into the car to get to the jet. Will probably beat you t

o the pack by a few minutes.’

‘Take care of her for me until I get there.’Xandar demanded as he got into his car.

‘You know I will. This is probably not the best time but I still want to rub it in your face so I’m just going to ask: Our Queen already tried to call you, didn’t she?’

‘Yes, alright?! But that doesn’t make me any less mad! How could she just leave me here like

that?!

‘You better not say those things to her when you get there, cuz. You very well know why she went.’ Christian said and ended the mind-link.

Yeah, Xandar knew why she went. She was a Gamma. To top it off, she was the Gamma of Gammas, the best of her kind. She was so skillful that she was the only Gamma known to be able to take on an Alpha. But did she forget that he was her mate? Sure, he didn’t answer his phone but why didn’t she just come banging on his door before she left? His home wasn’t even that far from the hotel.

Thank goddess he, Christian and the other ministers had private jets. Getting a plane ticket

and waiting for take-off would have wasted more time that he didn’t have. Xandar hopped on and asked the pilot to step on it, hoping to catch up with Christian. He looked out of the window and thought about Lucianne.

He and his Lycan were furious that their mate left them just like that. Yes, she had to fight but why didn’t she at least have the decency to drag him along with her?! It’s not like he wouldn’t have followed. He growled ferociously to himself as these thoughts went through his mind.

The Jewel Pack was two hours away, and the wait was pure torture.

The wolves reached the pack at 4:56 a.m. They spoke to the Beta, who had gotten the pack to lock their doors and hide in their basements. The rogues who came earlier were targeting the

already been evacuated.

The Beta, accompanied by the other three surviving warriors then asked, “So, what do you need us to do?”

Their eyes moved from one pack leader to another, wondering which of them was the one leading the alliance. When every pack leaders’ and Gammas’ eyes fell on Lucianne, one of the warriors behind the Beta couldn’t mask his surprise. His comrades were also taken aback

that everyone was awaiting orders from the smallest wolf amongst them, and she wasn’t even a Luna!

Lucianne’s voice rang in the dark, speaking to the Beta, “Two of your warriors are to protect Alpha Frederick. I’m not allowing your Alpha to take on a rogue yet. One should stay five feet outside the emergency underground cellar and the other by his side inside the cellar. Then…”

been cleaned in months!”

“But is it safe?” Lucianne asked.

Lucianne continued, “Sylvia, Tate, and Jewel Pack Beta and warriors, stand around the packhouse and act like you’re guarding it. Let’s see if we can mislead the rogues and divert their attention long enough away from the cellar to kill them.” She then looked at Sylvia and Tate, “Don’t let anything happen to the Jewel Pack members.” They nodded and took their positions
