The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King

Chapter 16

Chapter 16

Xandar and Christian both appeared bare-chest, only in shorts. They only took a microsecond to take in the scene before them, and without shifting, Christian went after the Lycan attacking the Alphas, and Xandar charged at the one near Raden and Lucianne before knocking him further away from his mate.

Raden stood in front of Lucianne’s lying body, shielding her from any possible attack. With the rogue Lycan gone, Lucianne gathered the little strength she had left and pulled the knife out of her body with her canines, and threw it on the ground next to her. Her eyes started tearing from the pain but the dizziness subsided. ‘Good’, she thought. There wasn’t enough silver in her body to kill her.

Xandar and Christian made breaking the rogue Lycans’ limbs look so easy. For the next few moments, the rogues’ whimpering and the sound of bone-cracking filled the air.

Xandar had already broken the limbs of the rogue he had over and over again, not giving it any time to heal or recover completely. Just killing the rogue would’ve been too merciful. The idea was to torture them for as long as possible before offering them a ticket to their death bed. Xandar tossed the rogue at a tree once, twice, three times.

Lucianne linked Juan as she endured the pain, ‘Get…Xandar. Keep…rogue…alive. Interrogate… Ask who sent…’

Juan shifted into his human form in an instant, and went to kneel by Xandar’s side before telling him Lucianne’s request. Xandar’s angered eyes locked with Lucianne’s pleading ones. He growled furiously before knocking the rogue Lycan’s head against a tree to make it lose consciousness. He made sure he broke another few more bones before he was satisfied.

Then, everyone heard a high-pitched whimpering which stopped at the distinct sound of a crack. The other rogue Lycan fell lifelessly from Christian’s hands. Xandar strode towards his mate, and Raden stepped aside. The King knelt next to Lucianne’s wolf. His eyes were

glistening but he was still boiling with anger as he looked at the blood stained white fur Lucianne’s paw was covering. Everyone heard quick footsteps approaching but they were not worried because it was just the other members of their alliance.

“Here,” Sylvia appeared with a large towel, covering Lucianne’s body so that she could shift back. Everyone else was shifting back into their human forms as well.

Beneath the towel, Lucianne gritted her teeth and shifted back, enduring the pain. This was, b y far, the most painful shift she had to endure. When she was fully human again, she let out a sigh of relief before continuing to grit her teeth to fight the pain. Watching his mate’s gritted teeth and cold sweat made Xandar feel angry and helpless. ‘I was supposed to protect her’, he thought to himself.

“Lucianne?” Xandar called out in a low voice, worry radiating from his eyes. Juan and Tate

were right behind him.

“Fine…need…minute….to…recover.” She responded as she fought through the pain.

Xandar held her hand, and she gripped his tightly as she coped with the pain. The sparks erupted from her hand and flowed through the rest of her body. She felt her bones recovering much quicker. The silver which was disappearing slowly before suddenly sped up in vanishing from her bloodstream. When she was fully recovered, she let out an exhausted breath and uttered, ‘Clothes.’

Xandar noticed that she was trying to get up and helped her, being as gentle as he could. Sylvia came with Lucianne’s clothes. Luna Lovelace then demanded, “Gentleman, turn.”

All the males turned instantly without argument. Xandar looked at Lucianne for one more second before turning around with the rest. Sylvia and Lovelace helped Lucianne with her inner wear, tank top and shorts. Lucianne moved her limbs slowly and cautiously, not wanting to risk breaking anything. Sylvia re-tied Lucianne’s hair, twisting it into a bun.

Luna Lovelace checked her one more time before declaring, “Alright. You can all look this way now.”
