The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King novel Chapter 6

Chapter 6

At tea, Lucianne, with Xandar by her side, introduced Luna Lyssa to Alpha Zeke from the Blood Eclipse Pack, and subsequently Luna Lovelace from the Midnight Pack. When Xandar left the room to answer a phone call, Lucianne chatted comically with Gamma I-‘laden before

she moved on to the refreshments table to get a drink.

Just as she was about to take a sip, Sasha appeared with a cocky smirk right in front of her. ‘’8 o, you’re the King’s mate.” She spat with immense distaste. Sasha made sure that the King was not in the room before she walked up to the plain, irksome-looking little Gamma.

Lucianne shrugged and said, “That seems to be the case.”

Sasha’s eyes scanned her from head to toe before she showed a disgusted expression. “A five- time rejected Gamma from a little wolf pack is bonded to the Lycan King. This clearly is the joke of the century, or millennia. I mean, look at you! You’re not even a Lycan! I look more like a Queen than you do! You just look like a dying rogue picked from the streets and given some new clothes. You don’t even know how to dress and put on make—up like a real female, let alone a Queen. How is it that you think that you are qualified to take on that position

anyway?” 1

Lucianne started laughing hysterically, and many were turning in her direction. Xandar heard everything from a distance, his hearing being the sharpest because he was the King of both species. He dashed to Lucianne’s side, and held her protectively around her waist as his cold eyes glared at Sasha, his lilac orbs turning onyx. His animal demanded to be released to defend their mate. Around them, the noisy room was turning silent.

Lucianne was the only one who seemed unperturbed. When she stopped her hysterical laughter, a sarcastic smile spread wide across her face. Her voice radiated strength and confidence when she spoke, “Ms Cummings, you are absolutely hilarious. Uh…” she chuckled once before she continued, “First of all, I’ve never asked to be his mate. Ever.” She pointed at Xandar on her right without looking at him. “After being rejected five times, I can tell you that a mate was the last thing I wanted. I would’ve rather spent the rest of my years alone than

risk being rejected after falling in love again.

‘Second, if I looked like a dying rogue who was just picked off the streets, then you look like a self-entitled doll on display who never had to work a day in her life. You may think that that’s a good thing but I personally feel very, very sorry for you that you’re living in your perfect little world, ignorant of what most of us have to fight through. And third,”

She lifted her forefinger, asking Sasha to wait as she sipped from her glass before continuing, “Third, I never said or even think that I am qualified to be a Queen. I am very well aware that I’m not. And frankly, neither are you. You may think you look like a Queen but holding that

position is not just about putting on make—up and looking pretty. It’s about finding problems-

and solutions, something I don’t think you’re very familiar with. I’m not saying that I am but
