Chapter 223 Two Hundred and Twenty-Three
Greg didn’t deny it. The Duke only locked eyes with Lucianne, and he averted his guilty gaze before falling on both knees and uttered, “I have no excuse, my Queen. I welcome any punishment for my behavior and misdeeds.” Dalloway was ready to cuff the Duke. Xandar dropped Kelissa before he started taking large strides towards the cousin he hated to the core. But Lucianne’s hand gesture stopped them both. Her response to Greg was firm and immediate, “Your situation involves a very complicated set of circumstances, your Grace. We’ll deal with you later. To prevent any further interruptions, I need you to follow Deputy Chief Laurent back to the station for further questioning.”
“As you wish, my Queen.” Greg uttered in obedience, and got up to follow the Deputy Chief ready to escort him out.
Xandar’s murderous eyes followed Greg until he was out of sight. His animal then reminded him about the creature they were thrashing before they were interrupted. Xandar returned to Kelissa. He breathed heavily as he growled, “You. Also. Hurt. MY MATE.” Another growl, and he began thrashing Kelissa again as he declared, “NO ONE CAN HURT MY MATE! NO ONE!”
Lady Kylton pleaded, “Your Highness, please. In the name of our friendship with your late parents, we beg you to let our daughter go! Please!”
It was as if Xandar didn’t hear her, and he lifted Kelissa up only to throw her across the room. Her body slammed against the wall and fell onto the floor right in front of her parents. Not accustomed to being tossed around like she was nothing, Kelissa was finding it difficult to push herself off the floor.
Lord Kylton then yelled at Lucianne, “ARE YOU BLIND?! CONTROL YOUR MATE! HE CAN BE CHARGED FOR GRIEVOUS BODILY HARM FOR THIS!!”
Lucianne’s eyes bumed into the Lord’s, and she asked, “Finallyadmittingthathe’s MY matenow?” The possessiveness in her voice pulled Xandar’s heartstrings, cooling his anger. The Lycan King turned his attention away from Kelissa as he gravitated towards his Queen.
Lucianne continued, “And grievous bodily harm? Really? What about what you did to my people?! My species?! You’ve been slaughtering my kind and my friends for more than a decade! You want to talk about grievous bodily harm when you have murder on your hands?!” The wolves growled in support.
In the midst of that showdown, Kelissa’s soft voice came from the side, “Please, my King, for old time’s sake, let me go. I’ve never meant to hurt you, I just…”
Xandar and Lucianne scowled at the heiress as the King growled and the Queen declared, “Stop trying to get my mate to help you, Kelissa! If he wanted to do that, he would’ve done it by now! Maybe you haven’t heard but we’re engaged.” Lucianne lifted her hand and showed-off the ring on her finger before she growled, “He’s MINE.”
The corners of Xandar’s lips curled upwards at her sexy ferocity, and he took her hand before pecking a deep kiss on Lucianne’s fingers, placing her palm on his cheek to get nid of any stench that Kelissa left there earlier.
Lucianne continued to speak to Kelissa in her venomous voice, “You sent a rogue to mark me by force while asking his men to harm MY mate.” Her voice choked a little when she continued, “Xandar almost died because of what you did, because of the Oleander you had them use! You’re a complete BUFFOON TO THINK WE’LL LET YOU GET AWAY WITH THIS!”
Kelissa’s eyes widened. She was dumbfounded. What did the wolf mean? She only told Jake to mark Lucianne and make a light scratch on Xandar while he shielded Lucianne. How did the scratch turn into something so serious?
“You’re lying.” Kelissa spat meekly.
Lucianne’s black and onyx eyes turned sapphire, and Xandar released her hand that was on his cheek. He stepped back as he watched her in pride. Her energy was daunting but also energizing. Despite Kelissa’s broken bones which were still in the midst of healing, she was compelled to endure the anguish as she stood with submissiveness to the Queen’s Authority. Her screams and cries did not make Lucianne any more merciful.
