The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King novel Chapter 197

Chapter 197

Yarrington caught the Queen before she fell, handing her to the King as soon as he reached her side. Xandar rushed her to Dr Yeil’s medical centre. Christian, Annie, the alliance, Ken and Janice all waited along the corridor outside the doctor’s room.

Xandar was looking at his mate’s unconscious body on the examination table in dismay. He felt her blacking out from across the hall, and the next thing he knew, he was witnessing her petite figure falling before the Education Minister caught her in swift motion

Dr Yeil extracted some blood, and got one of his nurses to go have it analysed. Two minutes into the body examination with his second nurse, Lucianne let out a moan. Xandar rushed to her side without a second thought and asked frantically, “Baby. Baby, can’ you hear me?”

Her eyes fluttered open, and her gaze shifted from her mate to Dr Yeil and his nurse before her sights returned to Xandar as she asked, “Wh-what happened?”

“You passed out, sweetheart. How are you feeling?”

*A little dizzy.” she responded.

Xandar lifted her off the table, and held her close to his chest, using the mate-bond to ease her discomfort. Lucianne kept her eyes closed as she concentrated on Xandar’s scent and heartbeat, and another three minutes later, she could open her eyes without seeing her surroundings spinning.

She reached for her mate’s cheek as she muttered, “Thank you, my love.”

He smiled in relief knowing that she felt better, and pecked a kiss on her forehead before he muttered, “Anything for you, Lucy.”

He sat her in a chair when the nurse came in with Lucianne’s blood test results. What was odd was that the nurse was smiling. DI Yeil and the other nurse looked at their colleague in bewilderment before turning their eyes to the report. They were shocked at what they saw before a smile graced both their features.

The doctor looked at the King and Queen, and smiled radiantly as he said, “It seems you can heal from just about anything, my Queen Congratulations, your Highnesses. You’re pregnant.”

Xandar and Lucianne froze at the statement. Lucianne blinked a few times before she shook herself out of her daze and asked, “I’m sorry, Dr Yeil. I’m quite certain I didn’t hear you right. What did you just say?”

The nurses smiled wider when the doctor said, “I doubt you heard me wrong, your Highness. You’ve healed from the infertility poison, and now, you’re with child. It’s two days old, so the heartbeat is still faint. Give it another five more days, and you’ll be able t o hear it easily in a quiet room. It looks like the Kingdom can welcome a new addition to the royal family in eighteen weeks time.”

Xandar knelt before Lucianne, and pressed an ear over her abdomen, where he detected the beautiful sound of a beating drum. His eyes glistened in joy when he looked up at his mate and cupped her cheeks as he exclaimed in a hushed voice, “You’re pregnant!”

Lucianne’s own eyes glistened as well when she chuckled in elation for a moment as she looked down at her still-flat belly, her thumb stroking it lovingly. For the first time in so long, she felt that the Moon Goddess didn’t hate her. It was because their Goddess gifted her the ability to heal from poisons that she was able to conceive again. Then, something came to her mind.

With bright, inquisitive eyes, Lucianne asked Dr Yeil, “The last time there was infertility poison in my system, you said that you sent my blood to the lab, Dr Yeil?”

Xandar stood by her side and faced the doctor as the old man answered, “I did. I called the head of the department just yesterday, your Highnesses, but my colleague over there confirmed that there’s no change in your blood composition. It’s still the blood of an infertile creature.”

“But the blood in my body is now healed?” Lucianne confirmed.
