Chapter 150
Xandar and Lucianne reached Xandar’s villa fifteen minutes before the others were bound to arrive to get Xandar’s home office ready for the meeting. They pulled out a whiteboard on a roller stand from the small supply room in the office.
After locking the rollers when the board was right in front of the round table where they were going to sit for the meeting, Lucianne uncapped a black marker before starting to scribble points to note on the rogue situation. Xandar didn’t even look at the board. His eyes twinkled with love and admiration for his remarkable mate as he leaned against the meeting table.
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CUZ!” Christian exclaimed as the Duke barged in with an excited smile with his Duchess.
After exchanging hugs, Christian took out a long black box with gold engravings and said, “I brought something to celebrate with once we’re done with working on your birthday.”
“Is that wine?” Toby asked as he strode in with the rest of the alliance members.
Christian responded with pride, “Sure is. It’s from one of the most established winemakers in the Kingdom, and this is actually their oldest bottle. I thought it’ll make the perfect birthday gift.”
Toby smirked cheekily and glanced at Lucianne before he said, “As impressive as that sounds, your Grace. I’m afraid the King already got the best birthday gift this moming, early this morning.” 4
Everyone’s eyes converged on the Gamma in confusion. Xandar was shocked but he soon had to look away with an apologetic smile as he caressed his mate’s shoulders lovingly. Lucianne froze, and was tuming red
Toby was still smirking when his voice cut through the silence, “A friendly reminder, Lucy, my room is right next to yours.”
The rest of them were starting to understand what he meant, and Lucianne’s hands covered her face as she muttered, “Oh, Goddess.”
Toby wasn’t finished. “Yeah, our Goddess was probably the one who caused it with the mate-bond and all that, so I guess it’s right to call on her now.”
Lucianne’s hands fell from her very flustered face as she said in a soft, pleading voice, “Let’s just leave that there…and move on to why we’re all here today.”
The alliance was already chuckling and smirking teasingly at the King and Queen. Toby then continued,“ For future reference, Lucy. Anytime of the day is fine so long as it’s already daylight. Four in the morning i s a little insane.” 1
“FOUR?!” Christian exclaimed in shock as his widened eyes fixed on his cousin, who had already begun blushing as he rested his head on Lucianne’s shoulder to take in her scent from her neck while his arms wrapped around her abdomen.
Lucianne braved through the giggles from her friends and the ticklish sensation when her beast took in her scent as she said, “Point taken, Toby. Thank you.”
“Oh, I wasn’t done. There’s also…” 1
Before he could finish, Lucianne threw the marker in her hand at her best friend, and he narrowly dodged i
tas he started laughing with the others. He picked up the marker from the floor, and took a seat at the table before rolling the marker across the table in her direction as he said seriously. “I’m happy for you, Lucy, really
“So is Greg.” Christian continued before adding, “Maybe even Sebastian Cummings.”
“No, he isn’t” Xandar and Lucianne said at the same time, and Lucianne blushed at the synchronicity of their response while Xandar reached for her hand on the table.
Toby resisted the urge to tease them again as Xandar explained how Sebastian couldn’t have been involved in any manner.
Raden then said, “This may be a long shot but did any of you recognise any Lycans in Forest Gloom the other day?”
“Sadly, no, Gamma Raden.” Xandar uttered
Lucianne stared at the table as she replayed the events from that fight before she said, “From how things played out, they seem to have been acting on Jake’s command.”
Tate then spoke with furrowed eyebrows, “The thing that bothers me is what they could’ve possibly done t o shield themselves from the King’s Authority.”
Toby then looked at his friend and her mate as he asked in concern, “Yeah, Alpha Clement mentioned that, too. What happened, exactly?”
“Cuz, what are they talking about?” Christian asked with obvious worry, an expression that Annie matched.
