The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King novel Chapter 93

Chapter 93

Lucianne felt Xandar’s panicked grip so she turned her attention away from Russell, who just came with Annie and Christian. Lucianne then stroked Xandar’s cheeks as she cooed, “Xandar, everything is fine, Breathe. Everything is alright.”

When his breathing steadied and Lucianne let go of his face, Christian came over to pat Xandar on the shoulder and asked in concern, “You alright, cuz?”

“Y-Yeah. Just need to splash some water on my face.” He got up from his chair to peck a kiss on Lucianne’s cheek as he whispered, “I won’t take long. I’ll be right back.”

To Lucianne’s surprise, her mate ruffled Russell’s hair with a warm smile before he headed to the bathroom sink to wash away the sleepiness. Xandar listened to their conversation while he was at the sink.

Lucianne was speaking to his four-year-old competitor now seated on her lap, “So, Russell. What were you building yesterday?”

After some rummaging sounds, he heard his mate gasping in astonishment and asked, “Is this a train?” He saw the little boy nodding through the mirror before Lucianne exclaimed, “You’re so clever, Russell!”

The little boy’s smile was radiant for only a moment before he patted Lucianne’s left leg with his small hand and asked, “Are you okay, Aunt Lucy?”

She smiled and kissed him on his forehead before responding, “I’m okay now. Thank you for asking, Russell. You’re so sweet.”

“I care about Aunt Lucy.” He said before leaning into her chest and making her heart melt.

Annie then said, “Ellia and Benjamin wanted to come. But Christian and I said that it was too risky. We only brought Russell because Xandar promised that he could come if he went home with us last night.”

Lucianne stroked the little boy’s hair as she asked, “Are they okay? The families?”

Christian looked at her in disbelief, “My Queen, they’re fine. Please, let’s just worry about you first.” He then locked eyes with his cousin when he exited the bathroom, “She deserves to sit on the throne more than you do, cuz.”

Xandar smiled as he responded, “We’re both on the same page on that point.”

Lucianne rolled her eyes and the alliance knocked on the door before walking in. “Oh, thank Goddess!” Toby exclaimed and came to give his best friend a hug. “Do you know how sh*t scary it was for us yesterday, Lucy?”

Lucianne chuckled, “Not as scary as what I’m going to do to you in training when I’m back on my feet again.”

Toby didn’t look scared at all this time as he smiled radiantly and said, “I’m looking forward to

that spar, Lucy.”

Lucianne looked at Toby in confusion but before she could assess her friend’s sudden change in reaction to a sparring challenge, he had already left her side to let Juan come next. Juan squeezed her a little before he asked, “Can you feel your legs?”

The Alpha released her as soon as Xandar moved closer to Lucianne’s side. Russell, who was placed on the floor when the alliance came in, tried to get Lucianne’s attention again. She lifted him up and placed the little boy back on her lap before looking at everyone as she asked casually,” So, by any chance anyone can guess why someone was trying to use Oleander on me? I’m still a little tired to think.”

“What, Lucy?” Juan asked.

Her hand reached for her mouth when she realized she uttered something that was supposed to b e confidential. She really needed to recover faster. Fatigue always did this to her. Xandar pecked a kiss on her temple as he uttered, “It’s okay, baby. It was going to come out either way.”
