The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King novel Chapter 22

Chapter 22

After a long while of enjoying each other’s company in silence, Lucianne said, “I wonder if the others have had enough rest. We haven’t eaten so we should probably attend dinner.”

Xandar then said, “Lucianne, we can always call room service. You should rest. After what you’ve been through today, I will personally break the necks of anyone who think of questioning your absence.”

“I’m fine, Xandar, really. I can go. But I need to change first.” She then looked at him and said,” So do you if you’re going.”

He smirked and kissed her cheek. “As if I would leave you there with all my competitors trying to win your heart.”

She narrowed her eyes and declared bluntly, “I am not interested in Sebastian Cummings.”

He hugged her tightly. “Oh, I know. He’s not the one I’m worried about, sweetheart. There are s o many others who want you the way I do. I feel like the Moon Goddess is taunting me by giving me a mate who comes with a whole army of admirers to fight through. Not that I should complain. At least she bothered to give me a mate who’s smart, noble, selfless…”

“You’re overreacting, Xandar. There isn’t anyone else who looks at me or wants me that way. There never has been. And if there were, it would only be because they’re interested in whoever the King is interested in. It’s not because they’re interested in me per se.”

Xandar sighed. “That’s where you’re wrong again, Lucianne. Just by looking at the way they look at you and hear them talk about you or to you…I just know they had intentions to be intimate with you even before we met. And those intentions are still very much alive. Not just the mateless Gammas but also the Alphas, I might add.”(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)

Lucianne stared at her knees and pondered hard on what she had just heard before throwing her hands in the air to signify that she had given up. “No. I’m not getting anything. My mind i s going blank. The only one I’m aware of showing me a shameless amount of affection when h e looks at me is you. So, I have no idea who you’re talking about.”

Xandar scoffed. “I’m quite relieved that you didn’t include Cummings in that list.”

Lucianne rolled her eyes. “He shows me a shameless amount of guilt and remorse. None of those feelings are even close to affection. And, my King, do spend your time on something other than thinking that someone else may want me. You’re really wasting your energy in that department. It’s completely non-existent.”

Xandar then chuckled and said, “It’s funny how little you see when it comes to how people are attracted to you. I’m not sure whether to feel frustrated or happy.”

She kissed him on his chin and said, “Choose positive feelings, my dear.”

He kissed her nose in return as he uttered, “As you wish, my Queen.” She flinched slightly at being called his Queen but she chose not to argue about it this time. Only this time. She had put him through enough for the day with her sleeping for hours and almost severing their

bond.

Lucianne narrowed her eyes. “Your logic perplexes me, your Highness. You needed my permission to call me by my name but you started calling me your baby, your love, your sweetheart, without ever having the need to ask for permission for those.”(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)

When she tried to break free to chase him out, he held on to her and asked with a grin, “So is that a ‘yes’?”
