The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King novel Chapter 29

Chapter 29

At training, Lucianne had just finished demonstrating a technique to dodge the opponent’s punch from the side without losing balance. When she and Toby were moving on to the next pair of fighters. Someone yelled out, “My Queen.”

“Oh, wow.” Toby said in surprise when he saw two Lycans approaching them. Both young. One dark-haired and one light-haired.

Lucianne turned to face them as they bowed and their heads lifted when Lucianne’s head was lifted after bowing in return. “Good morning, ministers. Toby, this is Sir Weaver, the Minister of Environment. And this is his mate, Lord Yarrington, the Minister of Education. Ministers, this is one of my closest brothers on the battlefield, Gamma Tobias Tristan.”

*Pleasure.” The Ministers took turns thrusting out their hands to shake Toby’s who managed t o stutter a surprise “L-Likewise.”

“What can I do for you both?” Lucianne asked the ministers.

They looked at each other before the light-haired Lycan, Sir Weaver, spoke, “My Queen, we were wondering if you have any time in your schedule to watch us fight? The Lycan warriors have been showing us the same moves every year, and we feel like we’ve hit a plateau. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)And, t o be fair, those guys never fought in a real battle before. So, we were hoping to get some pointers from you since you have fought, and won, on a battleground. And maybe you could teach us some new techniques?”

Toby held back a smile and muttered, “Oh, wow.”

Lucianne smiled, “We will be happy to help but uh…” she looked around and was mentally counting the number of pairs that she and Toby would have to watch before she could slot the ministers in, “Give us an hour?”

“That’ll be great! Thank you, my Queen.” They bowed and left.

“Oh, wow.” Toby said for the third time.

Lucianne narrowed her eyes, “Really, Toby?”

His cheeky smile appeared as they strolled towards Wainwright and Lyssa, “I apologize for not living up to the Queen’s expectations.” Lucianne smacked him mercilessly on his arm and he chuckled. Wainwright and Lyssa were both improving. Their sparring lasted longer but Lyssa came out victorious again.

“Lucy,” Wainwright started, “It really isn’t easy to show no mercy to a woman fighter. I mean, I love my daughter and I see someone else’s daughter when my opponent is a female.”

“Then the solution is simple, Alpha Wainwright.” Lucy said, “Imagine that the woman you are fighting wants to harm your daughter.(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)” The Alpha’s eyes turned dark for a moment before he

nodded in understanding and said, “That would work very well. Painful, but it works.”

Lucianne then offered an alternative, “A less painful method would be to imagine protecting your daughter from your opponent. But in my experience, it still makes one hesitate.”

“I agree.” Wainwright said with a smile.

“LUCY! LOOK OUT!” Juan’s voice came from a short distance away. Zeke dashed from his mat near where they were, and pulled Lucy and Toby out of the way. Lyssa and Wainwright managed to take a few steps back from a Lycan which was punched from a few mats away and onto the mat where Lovelace and Wainwright were sparring.

‘What the hell!” Zeke spat in the Lycan’s direction.

The Lycan which lay on the mat was partially-shifted, its light brown fur on his arms and face showing but not to its full length and thickness. There was a growl, and his opponent, also partially-shifted with dark brown fur, ran through the crowd and pounced on the lying Lycan before extending its sharp claws.

Lucianne recognised the scent of the Lycan who was attacking, and she yelled, “SEBASTIAN CUMMINGS, STOP!”

The attacking Lycan halted in its position. His claws hanging in the air. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)Juan, Zelena and a few others were quickly by Lucianne’s side. Xandar and Christian were running as fast as they could towards them. The cousins’ adrenaline for sparring was put to a sudden halt when they heard Juan scream Lucianne’s name.

Lucianne took a step towards the partially-shifted Lycans, her voice still strong as she demanded, “RETRACT YOUR CLAWS, NOW!” Slowly, Sebastian retracted his claws.

Lucianne then ordered in a slow, stern voice, “Get off your opponent, and take five steps back.” And Sebastian did just that.

Xandar reached where they were when Lucianne was approaching the Lycan lying on the ground. He pulled her by her hand and asked in panic, “Baby, what happened? Are you hurt?” He started lifting her arms to look for wounds and bruises.

Alfred Cummings and Pierre Whitlaw arrived by their side. And Alfred was stunned when he saw his son’s remorseful face a few steps away from the incident.
