The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King novel Chapter 94

Chapter 94

Lucianne shook her head again before she said, “No. The last thing I remember was the pain spreading from my left calf. And the smell of the poison.”

“Smell?” Dr Karr asked.

“Yeah. Being a wolf, I’ve never come into contact with Oleander in any way. I’ve read about them but I’ve never studied their properties. Yesterday was the first time I got its scent. It smells terrible, doesn’t it? What’s it made of anyway? I know there must be mercury, salt and granite. But what’s the last thing I’m missing?”

The doctors were lost for words for a moment before Dr Gina managed to say, “Th-Thioacetone, my Queen. It’s a substance powerful enough to induce nausea even in small amounts.”

Lucianne nodded in understanding, “Hm. Makes sense.”

Dr Kart furrowed his eyebrows in concern, for more visit :- www.noveljar.com “My Queen, the amount of Thioacetone in it is so little that not even a Lycan can pick up the scent. And Oleander is odorless, scientifically speaking.”

All eyes were fixed on Dr Karr, who was looking at Lucianne like she was some medical mystery. Lucianne sighed in despair and complained to herself in a hushed tone, “This again?! You’ve got to be kidding me!” Despite her soft voice, everyone heard her.

Xandar, who was already at her side, pecked a kiss on her cheek and said, “Relax, sweetheart. It’s a good thing. Another first.” He then explained that Lucianne was able to smell silver and some other substances that were known to be ‘scientifically’ odorless, and that she was the only wolf known to be able to heal from silver on her own.

Juan then said, “You never told me about smelling silver, Lucy.”

Lucianne responded with a shrug, “I thought everyone smelled it.”

Toby then muttered under his breath, “So that’s why she always knew where those silver blades were coming from.” He pondered before looking around the room at those Lucianne had shielded i n the past before declaring, “We are some lucky b*stards Lucy saved.”

Lucianne felt Xandar’s grip on her hand tightened, and she threw Toby a fierce look as she said,“ You are going to get so badly hurt on the training ground for letting that slip twice.”

Toby chuckled, “Oh, this one was on purpose, Lucy. And like I said, I can’t wait for that spar!” Lucianne looked at her best friend like there was something wrong with him.

Dr Karr cleared his throat and asked in curiosity, “So, apart from silver and Oleander, is there any other poison that you’re able to heal from, my Queen? Tanicia, Lumila…”

Xandar growled at the insensitive way the doctor asked the question, making the poor man and his colleague flinch before they both bowed as a sign of apology. Lucianne turned to her mate and started stroking his hand as she said in a soft voice, “Darling, it was just a question. It’s alright. Breathe, okay?”  

His eyes were still fierce as he kissed her temple and placed her body on his lap, pinning her back to his chest as his arms secured across her shoulders and around her waist. Lucianne looked apologetically at the doctors, whom her mate just frightened, and said, “Not that I know of, Dr Karr. It’s just silver and Oleander now.” 2

Xandar’s grip tightened around her as he said in a low voice, “And we’ll keep it that way.”

“Y-Yes, of course, your Highness. I apologize for my insensitivity.” Dr Karr uttered nervously.

Xandar nodded curtly and said, “Don’t let it happen again.for more visit :- www.noveljar.com ” Lucianne hit him on his biceps with the back of her hand, completely disapproving the homicidal tone he was using but he ignored her protest, pecking a kiss on her hairline instead.

Dr Karr uttered with another bow, “It won’t, my King. We’ll let you rest now, my Queen. Do let us know if you need anything.”

Xandar turned to her and said gratefully, “Thank you, Luna Zelena.” His sights returned to his annoyed mate as he said, “You don’t know what it felt like to almost lose you, Lucy. You don’t know how scared I was yesterday. How scared we all were. That question came out completely wrong.”

Xandar’s phone rang all of a sudden but his grip on Lucianne remained tight as he answered the call. “Chief Dalloway?”

“Your Highness, I am so sorry to bother you right now. But would it be possible for you or the Duke t o come to the station? A woman is confessing to have ordered a child to be killed. And it so happens that the child in question was shielded by the Queen.”
