The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King novel Chapter 70

Chapter 70

Lucianne narrowed her eyes in Zeke’s way, “We’ve been through this, Zeke. Tate changed himself, and…” “No, he didn’t.” Toby uttered with a taunting smirk in his Alpha’s way.

Lucianne threw Toby a glare before going back to Zeke, “He did. And let’s get one thing straight. For Xandar… I didn’t… ‘make him kneel to me.”

When everyone heard the sound of metal slamming onto the floor, their sights returned to the next room. Chief Dalloway slammed the rogue’s chair upright again and the three men resumed their seats as well.

The rogue coughed a few more times before he answered Xandar’s question from earlier, “N-N o. My instructions were to eliminate the wolf. The white one with a striped tail. We were not told that she was the Queen.” 1

Toby scoffed and commented mercilessly, “Some Tacticians they have.”

“Didn’t even do their research right.” Sylvia said in agreement.

Lucianne wasn’t sure if she agreed. At the time of the attack, she wasn’t exactly welcoming to the idea of being Queen yet. And technically speaking, she wasn’t their Queen now. Everyone just called her that. So, Lucianne said, “Well, they’re not exactly wrong. I mean, I’m technically not the Qu…”

“Shush, Lucy.” Toby cut her off, and then he threw her a cheeky smile before offering a small bow and saying, “My apologies. What I meant to say was, ‘Shush, my Queen’.”

Lucianne narrowed her eyes before pushing Toby with just enough force to make him tilt sideways as he chuckled. Tate allowed himself a brief look at Lucianne before returning his sights to the next room.

Xandar continued, “Why her?”

“We were not told that either. We’re never told why we are to target a certain… target. The only one privy to these reasons would be the boss. Not even the Tacticians would know. As fighters, we are just told who we’re after, how we are to attack, when and where the attack should take place.”

“Why the Jewel Pack?”

“Their warriors are weak. We were to attack to draw out the target.”

Juan exclaimed in anger, “You were instructed to kill pack members until my sister showed u p to defend them?!” Even the wolves in the other room were agitated. Zelena stood up from her chair, and inched herself nearer to the glass, simmering in fury. Tate’s hands were clenched into tight fists. Toby, Raden and Sylvia stiffened in controlled anger.

The rogue’s lips were sealed, until Xandar growled, “Answer him.”

“Yes.”

Low growls were emitted in the watching room, and Lucianne said cautiously with evident worry, “Guys, we’re good. He’s cuffed up. Everyone is safe. Let’s all just calm down.” Everyone watched their smallest member and threw each other cheeky smirks again before Juan’s shouting caught their attention.

“How did you know she would be there?! Anyone could have gone there to fight off the rogues instead!”

“Answer.” Xandar commanded.

“B-Because the research was done. She showed up whenever weak packs needed help. We were assured that she would be there. If she weren’t, we were told to kill until she came.”

No one could deny this. Whenever Blue Crescent had to pick which ally to help during simultaneous rogue attacks, Lucianne always got Juan to let her and her warriors go to the most vulnerable pack first. They would then ask other equally strong packs to assist the other allies under attack.

Tate seemed to have read her mind when he said in a low voice, “Lucy, the Jewel Pack’s casualties are not your fault. You shouldn’t be blaming yourself. You saved the rest of them. W e all did. Their Beta himself told you that the pack owes you. This is the rogue’s fault, Lucy, not yours. Don’t think otherwise, okay?”

The three of them growled in unison. Xandar growled a second time before he broke the rogue’s nose, left ear and fractured his chin before shouting, “HOW DARE YOU SPEAK ABOUT OUR QUEEN IN THAT MANNER?! IF SHE DIDN’T ASK ME TO SPARE YOUR LIFE, YOU’D JOIN YOUR FRIENDS IN HELL RIGHT NOW!”
