The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King novel Chapter 37

Chapter 37

Lucianne moved to position her small body right in front of Xandar’s large frame as soon as h e growled. His black fur was starting to show on the visible parts of his skin, and he was still throwing a murderous glare at Caunterberg.

Lucianne then took Xandar’s slightly furry face in her hands, and she stroked his face slowly and soothingly. “Xandar. Xandar, look at me, please.” His fists were clenched tightly by his sides, both covered in black fur.

Lucianne then pulled his face towards her to make his angered eyes lock with her soft ones,(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)” Xandar, darling. Listen to me, okay? It’s just you and me. Nothing else is important. Okay? Breathe. It’s okay. We’re both okay. Breathe. We’re okay. We’re okay. Breathe. Breathe.”

The rapid rise and fall of his chest was slowing down. Lucianne continued to stroke his cheeks and cooed, “Shh…I’m here, Xandar. I’m here. It’s just you and me. Shh…”

The fur on his face and hands were starting to shorten bit by bit. As Lucianne’s soothing voice and gentle touch continued to enter Xandar’s being. His fur shortened until it disappeared from sight. But his eyes were still onyx as they looked into her black orbs.

His fists loosened from the tight clenches. And a few moments later, his hands found their way to Lucianne’s waist. Xandar held on to Lucianne’s small waist a little too tightly but Lucianne knew that this was not the time to comment on his grip. She uttered softly, slowly and clearly, “Xandar, it’s okay. There is hope. We can still fix it, okay?”

When she started seeing the faint traces of lilac shades returning to his eyes, she was internally relieved. She then whispered to him in a hushed tone, “There is a right way of doing this. You are better, Alexandar. You are more. Let’s resolve this the right way. What do you say?”

Xandar was silent for a moment as he continued to stare into her eyes. Lucianne let him take his time to process her words as she continued to look into his onyx orbs with a soft gaze. Then, one of his hands left her waist and reached for one of her hands on his face.

He gently took her hand by her wrist and moved it over his mouth. He closed his eyes and planted a deep kiss on her palm before placing it back on his cheek as he uttered, “Okay.”

Lucianne smiled, and pulled herself up to peck a kiss on his jaw, (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)and half his eyes had returned to their original lilac colour. The onyx shades were still very much visible but Lucianne knew this would be enough for Xandar to restrain himself from shifting.

He pulled her into an embrace which was a bit too tight but Lucianne decided to bear with it for this time. He needed this. He needed the mate bond to calm himself. He held her for a moment in the silent dining hall before pecking a kiss on her forehead and whispering,”

Thank you, baby.”

Lucianne smiled wider and pecked another kiss on his jaw before saying, “Xandar, I’m your mate. You don’t have to thank me for this.”

The education minister standing on the side flinched for a moment. After exchanging a fearful glance with his mate, Yarrington made his way over in quick steps. When he came before Xandar and Lucianne, he averted his eyes and fell on one knee as he greeted Xandar,“ My King.” Xandar’s eyes were still fixed on Caunterberg when he sternly ordered, “Stand, Yarrington.” The minister on the ground looked up in fear and hesitation. He didn’t recall doing anything wrong. He looked at Lucianne, and she gave him a small smile and an encouraging nod. So, h e slowly picked himself up from the ground and stood before them, trying not to show how daunted he was.

Xandar then made an announcement while still fixing his glare on Caunterberg, “With immediate effect, Lord Yarrington will temporarily stand in as Minister of Health and Welfare until a suitable replacement for the position can be found. No ministers or families of ministers are permitted to leave the country while we assess everyone’s ethical behaviour. If any complaints are made against any one of you, we will investigate the matter very, very thoroughly.” His emphasis on the words ‘very’ had a homicidal edge,(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) sending a shiver down the spines of many. Caunterberg himself was already wobbling at his legs. 1

There were gasps and murmurs. Before Xandar said that, only a few werewolves knew about what Caunterberg said to Lucianne in the past because they were either her friends, or were victims to the same form of harassment. But after Xandar made the announcement, everyone knew.
