The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King novel Chapter 144

Chapter 144

After saying their goodbyes, Xandar and Lucianne got into the car, and Lucianne kicked away her heels as she let out a relieved sigh. Xandar waited for her to take another breath before smashing his lips on hers and squeezing her thigh. Only when he released her did he whisper, “We have the rest of the day off, sweetheart. What do you want to do?”

Lucianne’s cheeky switch was flipped on when she said, “Isn’t it a little unprofessional to offer such an invitation to someone who’s not crowned Queen, your Highness?”

Xandar emitted the dangerous and alluring growl as he pressed his forehead on hers and warned, “Don’t challenge me on this, my love. The moment I give out the order, you can bet you’ll be crowned tomorrow.”

“Without the consent and agreement from the one who is to be crowned? A little uncivilized, don’t you think?”

A light peck on her lips and he uttered, “Perhaps. But it’ll definitely shut those idiots up.”

Lucianne’s cheeky eyes turned soft with tenderness before she pecked a kiss on his cheek. “Thank you for what you did for me back there.”

Xandar’s eyes softened as well when he kissed her nose, “Well, I had help. And you really don’t have to thank any of us for defending what you can and cannot do, sweetheart. It’s your right. We were just fighting for what was already there.”

Her voice turned into a shy whisper now as she said, “I love you.”

Xandar smiled and responded with ease, “I love you, too, my little freesia. And since you love me, you have to say yes to my unprofessional invitation to bring you somewhere.”

Lucianne rolled her eyes and pushed him back to his seat as she said, “You very well know I was going to say yes when you first asked, Xandar.”

“Well, then. Pick a place, babe. Was there anywhere you wanted to visit but never got the chance to?”

“Hm.” Lucianne pondered for a moment before her eyes met her mate’s when she said, “I want to go to your favorite place.”

Xandar’s eyebrows raised in surprise before his smile broadened when he said, “My favorite place is with you, Lucy.”

Lucianne narrowed her eyes and said, “Fine. Then, your second favorite place.”

“Where are you going with this, sweetheart?”

“I want to go where you love. I want to see what you love, and feel why you love it. You’ve already brought me to the freesia field. Is there anywhere else you’d go to just be…happy?”

Xandar was moved. His mate really wanted to know him, even the little things about him. He contemplated with a smile before he said, “Well, I’ve always been into history. So, maybe we could go to one of my favorite museums… In fact, it just occurred to me that there’s a piece there that you should see.”

Lucianne sparkled in awe before she asked excitedly, “You’re a history geek? Why didn’t you tell me?!”

Xandar looked a little embarrassed when he said, “Babe, let’s just…not use that term.”

“Why not? I’m a geek myself if you haven’t noticed.” Lucianne declared.

“Yeah, but sweetheart, let’s face it. You do not look like a geek. At all. You’re much too attractive.”

“Geeks can be attractive too, Xandar. Just look at yourself.” Lucianne noted.

*I don’t know, babe. I guess I’m still trying to get the stereotypical version of a geek out of my subconscious. A geek doesn’t sound very… deserving or capable of being with you.” 2
