The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King

Chapter 31

Lucianne took a deep breath before she began spilling the beans. “So you both already know the number of rogue attacks last year was, by far, the worst. And applications for relief following those attacks were undoubtedly a lot as well. But less than 10% of the submitted applications ever made it past the phase of being reviewed. And out of our own 132 allies who were attacked last year, we found that only twenty of them got their relief applications approved. But only four out of those had the funds disbursed to their pack. The rest still have‘ funds disbursement pending’ on their status. Here comes the part that really hurts.”

So, packs who have successfully received funds are obliged to throw a pack party, just among their own pack members, to celebrate their good luck.

“Sweetheart, don’t apologize.” Xandar’s face was still serious when he took her hand and kissed it before placing it on his lap as he stroked it lovingly.

Very cautiously, Lucianne said, “If it makes either of you feel any better, you both have practically been approving relief applications these past few days when you spoke to pack members, so the process has sped up for many of them. It’s just the issue of disbursement now.”
