The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King novel Chapter 38

Chapter 38

The minister’s voice was nervous and apologetic, “I apologize for bothering you right now, your Highness. But a lot of wolves are asking me whether the complaint can be made against the sons of government officials who’ve attended the collaboration with their parents. Should I tell them that those would be a separate complaint since the sons are technically not government officials, or can we just include them with what we’re doing now?”

“Include them.”Xandar said without hesitation but he was pinching the bridge of his nose. Those good-for-nothing idiots actually used their collaborations to hit on females?! This is a government function, not a nightclub for goodness sake!

“Alright. Thank you, your Highness. I’ll let them know. Have a goodnight.”

‘You too, Yarrington. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.”

The minister was undoubtedly shocked that the King was expressing his gratitude when he literally exploded less than thirty minutes ago. So Yarrington uttered, “Well, it’s always a pleasure to serve, my King. And give my best to the Queen.”

‘Will do. Goodnight, Yarrington.” He hung up.

Lucianne had stopped typing but her eyes were still focused on the screen. Xandar got up and walked to her. He stood behind her and started caressing her shoulders as she scrutinized her written work with a serious look.

Xandar then bent down and kissed her cheek from the side before whispering into her ear,“ Yarrington sends his regards. We’re now expanding the net to include the sons of ministers.”

Her focused eyes suddenly blinked, and she looked at Xandar and exclaimed, “Really? That’s great!” She then turned back to her screen and muttered, “Let me just add those in.”

Xandar’s hands stopped moving on her shoulders and his grip tightened as his body stiffened. His mate was harassed by more than one male Lycan?! Goddess, no wonder the wolves hated them! Even he hated his own species after knowing about this.

As he continued thinking about it, his grip on Lucianne’s shoulders tightened more and more. Lucianne had to stop typing, and her hands reached out to stroke his hands as she said, “Xandar, darling, breathe. Just breathe, okay? Breathe.”

It was only when Xandar loosened his hold on her did he realize he was applying too much pressure on her shoulders. When Lucianne began typing again, he bent down to peck a kiss o n both her shoulders before returning to the couch to wait. It felt like an eternity later when she said, “Here, have a read. You can submit it after you’re done.”

He was at her side even before Lucianne got out of her chair completely. She stood next to him, and Xandar held her close to his body as he read the words on the screen. Lucianne stroked his shoulder gently, trying to keep him as calm as possible.

When he read until the end, he asked, “You sure that’s everyone? Is there anyone else?”

“No. It’s just three of them. I’m sure.” She then pecked a kiss on his cheek, and Xandar swiftly put her on his lap before skimming through the document one more time and clicking’ Submit’. Lucianne then turned off her laptop and snuggled into Xandar’s chest. She listened t o his heartbeat, and was relieved that it wasn’t as rapid as how it was when he lost control in the dining hall.

She then asked, “Have Ellia and the others settled in yet? Did Christian say anything?”

Xandar’s eyes widened. He completely forgot about that! He kissed her forehead before saying, “Hold on, baby. Just give me a minute. Let me ask him.”

He then mind-linked his cousin, ‘Christian, how are the families? Have they moved in yet?’

‘Cuz…h-how did you do that?! The car literally just entered through the gates! Seriously, how did you time that?

Xandar sheepishly said, ‘I actually…forgot. Lucy got me to ask.’

There was a pause at Christian’s end before his voice of disbelief came through the mind link, ‘You forgot? How is that possible? Did something happen over dinner?’

‘You have no idea.’

‘Wait, seriously? How is the Queen? Is she okay? Are you?’

‘She’s handling it way better than I am, as she always does, despite being the one subjected to another round of injustice.’

Christian sighed in despair, ‘Why do these things keep finding their way to her? What is it this time?‘

Xandar’s pissed-off voice was loud and clear, ‘Did you know we have ministers and their sons using these collaborations to hit on females like it was a brothel? I almost exploded…no, scratch that. I completely exploded in the dining hall when I found out!

“WHAT?! WHO ARE THEY?!’

‘Lucy named three: Caunterberg, and the twin sons of Marie Martin from Finance. That’s only Lucy! Imagine who we’ll be getting when we receive complaints from all the other werewolves and Lycans.’

Christian groaned through the mind-link, ‘WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?! Wait, Caunterberg… welfare…uh cuz, if she named him…who’s in charge now?‘

‘I did a headcount. It seems everyone’s here. And they looked fine. A little shaken but safe. My men are still unloading the audits from the car. And Annie is settling them in now so I better g o help her.’

Lucianne suggested in a whisper, “She’s probably Ellia’s boss.”
