The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King novel Chapter 151

Chapter 151

With Lucianne’s check-up after the infertility poison, the false sexual harassment allegations and the need to fill up the ministrial positions, Xandar had completely forgot to tell Christian about how he couldn’t emit the King’s Authority back in Forest Gloom.

Lucianne gave his hand a gentle squeeze to encourage him as he began, “For some reason, when we stood face-to-face with the rogues the other night, I couldn’t…channel the Authority onto them. It felt like there was a block.”

Zeke then muttered, “That means it’s like if we try to use the Alpha Authority on non-pack members. There’d be a block.”

Christian asked in dismay, “How is that even possible? The King’s Authority works on all werewolves and Lycans, netizens and rogues alike.”

Lucianne uttered in a sudden whisper, “Unless they have something that’s neither found in a werewolf nor a Lycan.”

Juan then asked, “What do you mean, Lucy?”

She looked at her brother as she thought aloud, “Rogues definitely have access to black markets, which would undoubtedly have a lot of things taken from any and every species. What if Jake’s shield is from another species like, I don’t know, humans or vampires?”

Raden showed a disgusted expression as he asked, “You’re saying Jake drank vampire blood?”

Lucianne was the only one who chuckled before she said, “No, Raden. It doesn’t work that way. The King’s Authority doesn’t target our bloodstream to make us obey, it targets our nervous system – our motor neurons, to be more precise.”

“English, please, Lucy. Peasant in the room here.” Toby complained as he waved his hand in the air.

Lucianne then explained, “Basically, it means that the Authority only affects the nerve cells controlling how we choose to respond to a given stimulus, like how we would choose to run away from a forest fire instead of towards it; or how we choose to ignore an insult, accept a praise, fight off threats.”

Toby got to thinking. “So, what you’re saying is Jake got something to shield his nerve cells from responding to how our King wants them to respond?” Lucianne nodded ominously.

“What could do that though?” Christian asked.

Xandar offered a suggestion, “Vampires are immune to the Authority. Maybe it’s something from them.”

“Cuz, tell me you’re not suggesting that they did a full nervous system operation to transfer a vampire’s into a rogue’s’.” Christian’s suggestion made many of them nauseate, including his own Duchess.

Xandar looked at his mate as he asked, “Is that possible, baby?”

Lucianne pondered and shook her head slowly as she said, “Not that I know of. But there really isn’t a need for such a major operation if they played simple.”

The whole room was silent and she continued, “All you need is to find the difference between the motor neuron of our species and the one found in vampires. The chemical compositions between each will differ, and scientists just have to come up with a…drug to stimulate the motor neurons of rogue wolves and Lycans to kind of…temporarily block the King’s Authority.”

“Did you say ‘temporarily’?” Xandar exclaimed as he held her hand in both of his.

Lucianne shrugged, “Yeah, I mean, our nervous system is still a result of our DNA, and our DNA produces a biology that heeds to the command of the King’s Authority. Seeing that Jake is still a wolf and not a vampire, he still has wolf genes. If he has wolf genes, then…” Lucianne cocked her head to one side as she thought to herself, “Then it’s kind of hard to see how he can shield himself permanently.”
