The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King novel Chapter 191

Chapter 191

The one-month collaboration came to an official end three days later, and Gamma Tobias Tristan took the stage once again as the Gamma representative and as the stand-in Minister of Defense.

“Good morning, everyone. We’ve come full circle back to this ceremonial room, and yet the events from the past four weeks have been anything but normal. For one, I now have a private jet.”

Laughter ensued, and many wolves laughed so hard that tears started coming out of their eyes. When it died down, Toby continued, “It goes without saying that this month has been phenomenal. In a historic collaboration between the government, the monarchy and the alliance, we brought down a rogue corporation and arrested its founders who initiated the corruption scheme within the government; dismissed and replaced many incompetent, untrustworthy and undignified ministers; and werewolves now hold temporary positions in government, which may turn permanent if we win the election in nine months time COUNTING THE VOTES OF WEREWOLVES!”

A deafening applause and cheers followed, and Lucianne pecked a kiss on her mate’s cheek as she clapped with the others, and her mate pecked a kiss on her lips and temple in return.

Toby’s voice continued to ring through the speakers, “Representation is something my species had never dreamt of getting. And speaking of dreams, I must admit that it was never in my wildest dreams that I thought I would see the Lycan King OR Queen fight alongside us. But the battles we fought in the past few weeks showed that our King AND Queen will NEVER leave us on the battleground to fend for ourselves ever again.”

Another round of applause followed as Xandar’s fingers entwined Lucianne’s own before he pecked a kiss on her small hand, resting their joined hands on his lap.

Toby proceeded to say, “They prioritize our lives over their own, which is more than we can ask for as their subjects. Of course, my speech wouldn’t be complete without addressing the elephant in the room: the fact that I am now one of the few people who can address His Royal Highness by his shortened first name.”

No one laughed louder than Xandar at that point. While everyone laughed and clapped, Toby locked eyes with Lucianne as he started talking about the REAL elephant in the room, “My best friend found her mate. And for once, it was someone who is serious about her; someone who is capable of loving her and protecting her; someone who would do anything and everything to keep her; someone who doesn’t need her to give up who she is and what she loves; and someone who is terrified of losing her.”

Lucianne held back her tears as she started stroking Xandar’s hand. Toby continued, “And I would like to take this opportunity to convey an announcement requested to be made by the SECOND scariest creature in the room, who is also my new friend, Xandar, that…” The burst of laughter forced Toby to pause and laugh with everyone. The audience knew that Toby was trying to imply that his best friend was the scariest creature despite her small size.
