The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King novel Chapter 18

Chapter 18

Xandar insisted on getting his personal doctor to examine Lucianne. Not wanting to risk upsetting her when she woke up, he decided against bringing her to his villa and instead got the doctor to come to Lucianne’s room in the hotel. The guard she mentioned, Benjamin, was there. He looked at the sleeping Lucianne in Xandar’s arms in dismay. He knelt on one knee and bowed even before they reached the front door.

“I’m sorry for not informing you sooner, your Highness.” Benjamin said in remorse.

“Stand, Benjamin. Our Queen is fine. She just needs rest. You did everything within your reach to inform me about where she went. Thank you.” The guard stared at the King in shock at the gratitude he expressed. He took a moment to digest what he just heard before slowly standing back up.

Lucianne didn’t even wake up from her deep slumber when Lunas Hale and Felicity came to clean her up and change her clothes. After they were done, Xandar stayed by her side while h e waited for his doctor to arrive.

The doctor, Dr Yeil, arrived shortly after to examine Lucianne. When he was done, he told Xandar that she was alright, and that she just needed a few more hours of deep sleep. When Xandar asked about the silver in her bloodstream, the doctor looked at him in bewilderment.” Your Highness, I can assure you, there’s no silver in the Queen’s system. In fact, it doesn’t seem like any silver had entered her system at all.”

Xandar argued in a hushed tone, “That’s not possible. I saw the knife myself. It was clearly coated with silver, and the knife was extracted from the side of her body.”

Dr Yeil’s eyebrows furrowed in confusion as he looked at Lucianne on the bed. He muttered under his breath, “Strange. Hmm…” He then turn back to Xandar and suggested, “If you allow i t, your Highness, I’ll extract a syringe of her blood to have it further analyzed.”

“Please, do.” Xandar approved without hesitation. He needed her to be okay.

After Dr Yeil took the blood and left, Xandar went to the bathroom to call Alpha Juan to give him an update.

“I should mention something, your Highness.” Juan’s voice rang through cautiously.

“Please.” Xandar said encouragingly.

“Lucy has always been more… tolerant to silver. When we were kids and didn’t know any better, we played a game with some other children our age which involved silver. The game was to see which one of us lasted the longest as we ingested silver paint we found in human territory drop by drop. When we all fainted, Lucy was the one who went to get our parents, thinking that she had won the game. When the adults found out what we did, they rushed us t o the hospital to get the silver out of our systems. And we were all hospitalized for a week. All

of us were, except Lucy The doctors couldn’t find any silver in her system. Her parents were s o worned that they had her blood screened three times but the results were no different.”

Xandar was pinching the bridge of his nose. He was trying to hold back the urge to recite the long list of judgments and criticisms he had for their childhood game and finally asked, “Are her parents like this?”

“No. They were both killed by hunters with a silver blade.” It was only then that Xandar found out that his mate had already lost her parents. He claimed to love her but he didn’t even know such a basic fact about her. 1

Xandar then asked in embarrassment, “Does she have any siblings?”

“No, which is why we’ve always been close. Neither of us have siblings. After her parents were killed, my parents decided to take Lucy in since the two of us have always been inseparable.”

“I see. I’ll let you know when she wakes up, Juan. You should get some rest.”
