The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King novel Chapter 226

Chapter 226 Two Hundred and Twenty-Six

Christian pinched the bridge of his nose and spoke to his Duchess as gently as he could to avoid starting a scene like his cousin, “How are we supposed to assess how sorry one is, Annie? There’s no scale for that.”

Annie then challenged her husband, “Do you mean there’s no scale, or that you don’t want to believe that there is one?”

That hit Christian. Like Xandar, he didn’t want anything but the worst for Greg. The Duke sighed, and pecked a kiss on his Duchess’s temple before reluctantly asking, “What’s the scale?”

Annie answered without hesitation, “His demeanor. By watching the way Greg speaks about everything he has done, we’ll be able to know if he’s being sincere, or if this is just a tactical move.” She locked eyes with Lucianne, and suggested, “Maybe you should talk to him, Lucy.”
“NO F*CKING WAY!” Xandar exclaimed, and instinctively wrapped Lucianne even tighter in his chest, like someone would snatch her away if he didn’t hold her close enough. «

Lucianne’s rage returned when she tried to loosen his grip as she asked her mate, “Why?! Because I’ll leave you once I see him?!”

Christian answered before his cousin could, “Because there are other people who can do that, my Queen!”

“Like who?!” Annie challenged.

Christian responded to his wife in haste, “ME! AND HIM!” He motioned at Xandar. 2

Seemingly out of nowhere, Toby muttered to himself, “That plan is doomed to failure.”

“I have the King’s Authority, Toby. Ican make him answer anything I want.” Xandar declared.

Juan spoke, “That’s the problem, Xandar.” When all eyes were on the Alpha, Juan explained, “Assuming that the King’s Authority is like the Alpha’s Authority, emotions are a key element in emitting and maneuvering the power. Given how much you loathe that other Duke, your anger may suppress any apologetic statement that Greg Claw may make.”
