The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King novel Chapter 54

Chapter 54

She snorted before asking, ‘You caught up to me within sixty seconds from when I took off, didn’t you? You just let me think that I was winning.’

He smirked as turned their bodies gently so that Lucy’s wolf had its back against the ground and his Lycan’s body hovered above hers, his hands on either side of her head. There was a glint in his eye when he said, ‘No. I never said anything. You came up with that thought yourself.’

His nose nuzzled hers and she giggled through their link before he continued, ‘And if I said that I caught up to you within thirty seconds from the moment you left me behind, do I get a reward?’ His arousal continued to fill the air.

The reward your animal is implicitly asking for is quite a demanding one, your Highness.’

‘Hm…I wasn’t going to ask for that.’

‘Well, what a gentleman you are.’

His Lycan’s nose made contact with her neck as it greedily took in her scent. He then linked,’ Careful, my love. I’m in control now. But if you keep talking to me like that, I’ll have to wrestle with my animal for dominance. And we don’t want that now, do we?’

Lucianne made herself hold back a moan from the hungry manner Xandar’s animal was taking in her scent before she asked, ‘So, wh-what were you going to ask for, dearest?’

His Lycan’s tail was wagging in happiness as he asked excitedly, ‘Can I take a good look at your tail?’

‘Oh, that. Be my guest. If you can tell me if you’ve heard any myths or legends about what it’s supposed to be able to do.’

Now who’s the demanding one?’ Xandar linked rhetorically with a chuckle as he released his cage on her. She got up and sat on the ground near the riverbank and lifted her tail upwards for Xandar to have a look.

He studied the white and grey part of his mate. Instinctively, he looked at her body and her paws but noticed that they were all white. She seemed to have read his mind, ‘It’s just the tail. There isn’t a trace of grey anywhere else on my body. I don’t know why. No one does.’

After a short moment, Xandar anxiously linked, ‘D-Do you mind if …t-touched it?

ass

Lucianne was surprised but she shyly whispered, ‘Okay.’ 1 His large Lycan hands fell cautiously on the white and grey fur of her tail, gauging his mate’s reaction. He then gently stroked the entire length, which made Lucianne purr softly.’ Adorable’, Xandar thought to himself. As he continued stroking in slow motions, he linked, ‘I wonder why the thickness of each grey stripe is subtly different.’

‘Wait, what? Is it?’ She lifted her tail off the ground and right out of Xandar’s hand, and Xandar was surprised by how much strength he felt from her tail. His mate was using the reflection from the water in the river to study the stripes.

As he was recollecting what he felt, she linked, ‘I guess I never noticed it because I’ve only used water reflections to see what my wolf looks like. I’ve never used a mirror. And with the

ripples and the coursing of streams, I never took a hard enough look at them to notice the difference in the thickness of each stripe. Hmm…the number of stripes are still the same though. It has only ever been five.‘

‘Sweetheart,’ Xandar began, ‘How strong is your tail?’

‘What do you mean?’ She asked, cocking her head to one side as she looked at him.

Xandar tried not to get distracted by how adorable her wolf looked when it did that as he explained, ‘When you took your tail from my hand, it felt like it had more strength than it should

She looked surprised and bewildered. She dove into her thoughts before she asked, ‘Do

• normal tails have less strength?’

She thought hard before she linked, ‘Yes, but…not many of us can. Very few Alphas and Lunas can do it. Juan himself can’t. Neither can Zeke nor Zelena. Tate can but it took him a few years of practice. Gammas…Hmm…I tried to teach Toby, Raden, Sylvia and a few others but they aren’t able to trip larger rogues yet. The smaller rogues also have to be unstable before they can actually trip them that way.‘

Xandar continued stroking her as he helped her ponder deeper on the matter, ‘Have you ever had problems tripping the larger rogues?’

scratching her face in madness and frustration right now with what you’re saying. She’s already given you so many gifts for you to stand out from your species and mine yet you still think that you’re less than extraordinary.’

Lucianne rolled her bright blue eyes and linked sarcastically, ‘Oh yes, I’m very extraordinary. Who else have you heard went through five mate-bond snaps?’

Xandar lowered his head to meet hers, and his nose nuzzled against hers, making her giggle a t the ticklish contact before he looked deeply into her sapphire eyes and linked, ‘You keep telling me that I’m more than what I think of myself, Lucy. I’m telling you right now, you’re so much more than what you think of yourself. He nuzzled her forehead like he was pecking a kiss there before staring back into her eyes as he uttered, ‘You’re amazing, Lucy. Don’t let anyone tell you differently, not even yourself.’ She purred at his words, and got up to move into his chest before she snuggled in his core. It was his animal’s turn to purr in bliss.
