The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King novel Chapter 175

Chapter 175

At breakfast the next morning, Lucianne was giving her full attention to little Lily on her lap. Xandar took the opportunity to discreetly look through precious stones on his phone. He already got the jewellery designer’s contact number from Christian a few days ago, and Xandar already picked out a design. All that was left to do was to pick the jewels to put into that design. The designer advised Xandar to pick out something that ‘symbolises you and your mate’.

He was scrolling through the catalog when he felt a warmth on his thigh. Xandar looked up and traced the small hand there to Jasper, who was trying to take a peek at his phone. At that very moment, Lucianne was dragged away by a few other kids to see their seashell collection framed up on the walls.

Xandar offered little Jasper a warm smile, and placed the boy on his lap before he asked, “Jasper, can you keep a secret?” 1

Jasper nodded dotingly with his large, brown eyes.

Xandar went on, “I’m picking something for Aunt Lucy. Do you want to help?”

At the mention of Lucy, the boy’s eyes lit up and he was about to yell Lucianne’s name before Xandar hastily covered his mouth and smiled apologetically at his mate when she looked his way in confusion. Thankfully for Xandar, the kids around her demanded her attention, so she didn’t even mind-link him to ask what he was doing with Jasper.

Xandar lowered his hand from the boy’s mouth before he explained slowly, “Jasper, it’s a secret, okay? We want to give Aunt Lucy a surprise.”

The little boy whispered, “A surprise?”

Xandar nodded, and said, “Pick two, Jasper.” He then swiped across his screen to show Jasper the five stones he had narrowed down for the engagement ring he would give Lucianne when he eventually proposed. It may be a little early but he didn’t see anything wrong with being prepared. It wasn’t like he was going to fall for anyone else besides his mate.

The boy’s chubby fingers swiped across the screen a few times as Xandar looked over to Lucianne, just in case she came back too soon. After two minutes, Xandar was beginning to wonder whether Jasper was really choosing something or was simply swiping for fun.

Before he could ask, Jasper turned around to face him and whispered, “This one. Because it looks like Aunt Lucy’s eyes.” He swiped again and continued, “And this one. Because it’s Aunt Lucy’s favorite color.”

“Wait, is it?” Xandar asked a little too loudly, and a frantic Jasper pressed both his small hands over the King’s mouth.

“Shh…it’s a secret, Uncle Xandar. A surprise.” Jasper reminded him with wide, worried eyes.

Xandar couldn’t help but chuckle, and ruffled Jasper’s hair as he thanked him. He then sent the ones Jasper picked to the designer, who told him that he would get to work immediately, and it will be ready by the following morning for collection. Xandar’s eyebrows raised at the efficiency, and the jeweller said that he was happy to pause all orders and get to Xandar’s first, saying it was ‘an honor’ to make him and the Queen happy.

“Perks of the job.” Xandar muttered to himself.

When Lucianne had finished looking at every child’s seashell collection, she came over to ask what went on, and Jasper was surprisingly good at changing the subject by telling her that he was telling Xandar about his Lego. When his mother came to get him because it was time to leave for school, Jasper even gave Xandar a high-five before he went over to give Lucianne a hug.
