The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King

Chapter 58

Xandar made sure he held his mate’s hand tighter to intensify the sparks for this next phase. He cleared his throat and began, “The Kyltons are a distinguished family. And they have been a close friend of the royal family for generations. But for the longest time, their heir was a male. When the most recent Kylton was an heiress, my father had this insane plan to…pair u

Lucianne shifted in her seat and averted her gaze. Xandar kissed her fingers while still holding on to her hand as he continued, “My mother, being the doting wife that she was, supported it without question. When I went up to my father about the…issue, he told me that I’ll grow to understand why he was doing what he was doing. It was all about saturating as much power as possible for him. When I went up to my mother and begged her to persuade m y father to change his mind, she just…told me that everything was going to be okay. That the… engagement was not going to be a bad thing, that things would eventually work itself out.”

Lucianne was biting her bottom lip at this point to cope with the feelings of unworthiness, and Xandar stroked her hand tenderly, trying to assure her that his heart had only ever been given to her. “Baby, hey.” She still couldn’t bring herself to look at him.

She felt uneasiness tingling in her chest and subconsciously placed her free hand over her heart, like she was shielding it from getting hurt. The sight made Xandar’s animal whimper. I t felt like she was shielding her heart from him. He felt the helplessness from the previous night all over again.

Cautiously, he kissed her fingers deeply as he linked, ‘Lucy, I don’t agree with what they did. I never have. It felt wrong from the very start. I’ve never loved anyone the way I love you. Please, baby, look at me.’

Lucianne took a moment, and swallowed the lump in her throat before meeting his pained gaze as she whispered, “So what happened next?”

He managed a sad smile when he saw how strong his mate was trying to be. “Grandpa Brock threatened to cut all Blackfur ties with the Claws if my parents kept insisting that I was to marry someone I didn’t want. The Blackfurs dominate many industries, mainly shipping and

“You really don’t have to think about my late parents, Lucy. If you saw what everyone sees in you, you’d realize that the late King and Queen are not worthy of your acceptance. You’re too good for them. You’ve done more in your years than they have done in both their lifetimes combined. I’m
