The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King

Chapter 59

After a twenty minute drive, a large skyscraper came into view. Xandar parked on the lower ground floor and they took the elevator up. Xandar’s hand never left Lucianne’s waist as he led her out through the elevator doors, and as soon as they turned around the corner, Lucianne halted in her steps at the sight before her.

“Woah.” She muttered as her black orbs sparkled at the sight of the large space filled with endless shelves of books. As she adjusted to her surroundings, she took small steps forward t o look around. The carpeted floor absorbed any sounds of footsteps, making the place quiet enough to read. The lights lit up the place enough to give it a sophisticated look. The music playing subtly in the background puts one in a mood to relax and dive into whichever book held their interest

Lucianne’s eyes snapped back to Xandar’s elated lilac ones as she exclaimed in a whisper,“ This is La Librairie, isn’t it? The largest bookstore in the Kingdom!” 1

Xandar’s eyes were also shining at the sight of Lucianne’s excitement, “It is. You‘ve clearly heard of it.”

Her eyes continued to scan the place while she explained, “I’ve read about it and seen pictures of it in the news. But the sight is still breathtaking.” She looked at the ceiling which was said to contain engravings of reputable authors of the past. She then looked at the pillars which had the most famous quotes of each century. She then uttered, “The twenty-eight-floor building which holds every book known to Lycans, werewolves, vampires and humans. All in one place. This is amazing!” 1

“Yes, you are.” Xandar said from her side. Lucianne turned back to find his sincere and affectionate gaze fixed on her. She was moved. She heard about this place for years but never got to come because it was in Lycan territory so she didn’t think it would be wise to enter as a wolf. She didn’t want to be kicked out and appear in the news for it. But Xandar brought her here without her having to ask.

She then asked in curiosity, “How did you even know that I’m crazy about books?”

She then extracted a brown hard-covered book before flipping it over to check the contents. Her finger ran down the chapter titles, and then she turned the book over to check the price. Xandar then said, “Baby, you can take whatever you want. You don’t have to worry about the cost. I’ll take
