The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King novel Chapter 73

Chapter 73

Toby then groaned and said, “Lucy, I’m on your side. But he’s your mate. He should know. And besides, he might even love you more after I say this.”

“I’m going to kill you for letting this slip, Toby!” Lucianne hissed.

“Yeah, I thought so. Sorry, Lucy.” Toby said guiltily before looking at the confused Duke and King as he started explaining, “Being the only one who can heal from silver without blood transfusion, Lucy always… shielded us from the blades. She’d… throw herself in front of those one or two rogues if we don’t manage to make them drop the knives quickly enough. In this room, she’d shielded me,” his eyes went around the room as he continued listing, “Tate, Juan, Sylvia, Zelena and Raden.” 1

Xandar’s eyes pulled away from Toby when he was done. He looked at his mate and lifted her chin up gently to make her black orbs lock with his partially onyx ones as he asked in a low voice, “You did what?”

She shrugged and defended herself meekly, “We didn’t have time. It was the safest way to keep the number of lives we have.”

“What about your life?!” Xandar asked in hushed anger.

She said softly, “Xandar, I wasn’t going to die. On the battlefield, I’ve always managed to get the blade out quickly. I’ve always healed.”

Xandar’s eyes glistened despite his hardened expression as he sighed in frustration. He pressed her into his chest and kissed her hair as he uttered in a homicidal tone, “When we find out who’s in-charge, I’m going to shred him very slowly for making you do that.”

Christian then asked, “Just out of curiosity, my Queen, how many times have you done it?”

Lucianne looked to the side from Xandar’s chest and said, “It doesn’t really matter, Christian. It’s in the pa…”

Juan then said, “Hale mentioned that it was a hundred and two as of the last attack.” 1

“Juan!” Lucianne’s eyes drilled into her brother’s as she exclaimed.

Xandar held her tighter. His arms caged her body like he wanted to shield her from getting hurt. She returned her sights to her mate and said, “Xandar, I’m all healed. I’m fine. Some of it wasn’t even stabs, just minor scratches. In fact, some were so minor that I joined the battle again a minute later. The plan was always to stab them back with their own knife after I goti

Xandar buried his face in her hair as he uttered, “It doesn’t make it any less wrong. You shouldn’t have to get hurt.”

“Xandar, I’m fine! Look at me! I’m fine!”

He let her part their bodies, and Lucianne’s heart ached at Xandar’s watered eyes. She cupped his cheeks and pecked a kiss on his lips as she assured him, “Darling, everything turned out fine, okay? We have a lead now. Things are only going to get better from here. Let’s just focus o n the now, okay?”

Before Lucianne could say anything more, Xandar lifted up her dainty hands and pecked a sweet kiss on her fingers before he said, “Easy now, babe. They were just enlightening us.”
