The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King novel Chapter 79

Chapter 79

In both the Lycans and werewolf communities, the words ‘mine’ and ‘yours’ have strong connotations, signifying that one is the other’s mate, bonded by the Moon Goddess. So, when Lucianne used the word ‘yours’, loosely interpreted, meant her. Her question may be asking how Xandar would react if someone took her away from him. That was not a good thing to ask, especially when he almost lost control with the rogue Lycan that morning during the interrogation

Onyx shades came and left Xandar’s eyes. He smirked and kissed the back of her hand that he was holding onto before declaring, “If they tried to take something that was mine, I’d take it back. I f they tried to take someone I’m trying to make mine, I’d kill them or torture them, depending on what you’ll let me do.”

Lucianne then sighed in regret and said apologetically, “It wasn’t supposed to come out like that, Xandar. I’m so,” he stood and leaned over the table to silent her with a kiss before pressing his forehead against hers as he whispered, “Don’t apologize, baby. I love you.”

Relief washed over Lucianne as she smiled shyly and said, “I love you, too.”

“Tell me you know that I love you, my little freesia.” Xandar demanded in a soft voice as he stroked her cheek.

Lucianne’s blushes got redder, and she bit her bottom lip before meeting his alluring gaze. “I know. Thank you.” Xandar smiled and pecked a kiss on her forehead before resuming his seat.

After eavesdropping on many of his subjects’ conversations, Xandar beamed at his mate. She met his stare and asked in bewilderment, “What?”

He kissed her hand and sighed in adoration as he said, “You are so perfect.” Before Lucianne could ask what he meant, he said, “They love you, Lucy. Our people love you.”

Lucianne met his gaze in confusion before she gaped at what Xandar just said and muttered quizzically, “Our people?”

Xandar smiled teasingly, “My Queen, you just told this King that he is your indecent beast, and that you love him. My people also became yours from the moment you said those things to me, don’t you think?”

“Huh. I guess that’s true.” She uttered in agreement as she processed the direct consequence of being the Lycan King’s mate.

Xandar chuckled at her pondering expression which he also found to be cute. He kissed her hand again, and continued, “Everyone in here has been talking about us. But mostly about you. They like how you were with Evie, and also how you smile and thank the waiters and waitresses who came to our table. They like that you’re real and down to earth. Everyone has nothing but respect and admiration for you, Lucy. Most of the mothers and mothers-to-be have already fallen in love with you.” 1

Xandar deliberately left out the businessmen stealing glances at his mate from time to time. And

there were three younger Lycans a few tables away who had the gall to scan Lucianne’s body with lustful eyes while she was looking through the menu. But when the three of them inadvertently glanced at Xandar and were compelled to meet his death glare, their eyes wandered elsewhere in the restaurant.

Xandar also didn’t mention what some older Lycans were saying, which were the petty things like his mate was too small to be a Queen; did not appear to come from a distinguished family, and that she wasn’t a Lycan. When he threw them a glare, they grudgingly spoke well about Lucianne for a moment, then changed the subject before leaving the restaurant in haste.

Lucianne was lost for words for a moment before the comer of her lips curled up into a smile,” That’s really sweet of them.” She gave his hand a squeeze before smirking, “I guess it pays to have the best hearing in the Kingdom.”

“Babe, the eavesdropping wasn’t deliberate. Some of them didn’t even bother being subtle.” of course, Xandar also didn’t mention a table of young, female Lycans who were being louder than they should be when they sneered at his mate and spoke lustfully about him.

Thank goddess wolf hearing couldn’t catch what they were saying. When Lucianne’s attention was on the steak, Xandar took the opportunity to throw them a death glare that even made one of them flinch in fear, before all six of them bowed as a sign of apology. They finished their drinks and left soon after too.

Not knowing about what her mate had been doing to anyone who spoke poorly about her, Lucianne chuckled at Xandar’s defence for eavesdropping before returning to her food. After a moment, she felt a stare from her side, and she traced it to the source. Her eyes met a female Lycan’s, who was sitting alone at a corner table.

When Lucianne looked her way, she immediately averted her eyes and pinned her sights to her phone on the table. Lucianne couldn’t help but find this woman in a red dress very familiar. Lucianne couldn’t take her eyes off of her as she continued to think. She then noticed that the chair facing the woman was pulled out, and there was a plate with unfinished food at that empty seat. Maybe she wasn’t alone?

“Babe, are you okay? What is it?” Xandar followed her gaze to the red dress woman.

The woman then stood without looking up and held her head low as she pretended to be talking o n her phone. She settled the bill and left.

After talking Xandar into letting her pay for dinner since he’d already paid for breakfast and lunch, he walked them out of the restaurant and to his car in frustration. When he held the door open for her, she pecked him on his cheek as she whispered, “Thank you. You’re so sweet.”

It was Lucianne’s turn to look at him hopefully with those large doe eyes as she copied his line, “Is it working?”
