The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King

Chapter 56

He took in his mate’s unperturbed expression and asked, “Why is it that you don’t look surprised?”

Lucianne shrugged and said, “Because it’s not surprising. Rogue Lycans didn’t exist at that time. So how would you know about rogue wolves?”

He stroked her hand and smiled sadly, “We should’ve known.” .

Lucianne’s grip tightened and their eyes locked, she said assuringly,(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) “You do, now. You were young, Xandar. And you had no access to that information during King Lucas’s reign. But the fact is you chose to notice us as soon as you could. That’s more than enough. You and Christian have changed so much for all of us.”,

Xandar scoffed before he said, “Wolves are still terrified of us though.” He recalled how the werewolves in the collaboration didn’t feel safe speaking to him and Christian unless Lucianne was there, bridging their species. He wondered if he could ever be half as good as her in terms of connecting with them.

Lucianne stroked his hand lovingly as she said with an encouraging smile, “Give it time, darling. They’ll come around. Besides, many of the wolves here are already warming up to you and Christian, and also to Weaver and Yarrington. Word will spread when they return to their packs, and our species will begin to see that not all Lycans are menacing.”

Xandar’s eyes widened with Lucianne’s choice of words as he said, “Menacing. Wow. My dear,” Xandar chuckled. “If I remember correctly, I’ve only ever killed hunters who breach our inter-species agreements and Lycan criminals who deserve the death penalty. And also a few rogue wolves who we found trying to trespass for illegal intentions. That’s probably around ten kills in the last eighteen years. You and your friends, on the other hand, my love, have probably lost count of the number of rogues you had to eliminate to save your packs. And we’re the menacing species?”

The waiter came with their food and Xandar reluctantly let go of Lucianne’s hands as the plates were placed on the table. His mate thanked the waiter with a polite smile before she turned back to Xandar and said, “Menacing in intention was what I meant, my darling.(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) It’s like you said, the Lycans never did anything for us but every year they would take fifty percent of our pack’s revenue…well, until eighteen years ago, that is. Thank you for lowering i t to ten percent, by the way.”
