Chapter 70

Lucianne narrowed her eyes in Zeke’s way, “We’ve been through this, Zeke. Tate changed himself, and…” “No, he didn’t.” Toby uttered with a taunting smirk in his Alpha’s way.

Lucianne threw Toby a glare before going back to Zeke, “He did. And let’s get one thing straight. For Xandar… I didn’t… ‘make him kneel to me.”

When everyone heard the sound of metal slamming onto the floor, their sights returned to the next room. Chief Dalloway slammed the rogue’s chair upright again and the three men resumed their seats as well.

The rogue coughed a few more times before he answered Xandar’s question from earlier, “N-N o. My instructions were to eliminate the wolf. The white one with a striped tail. We were not told that she was the Queen.” 1

Toby scoffed and commented mercilessly, “Some Tacticians they have.”

“Didn’t even do their research right.” Sylvia said in agreement.

Lucianne wasn’t sure if she agreed. At the time of the attack, she wasn’t exactly welcoming to the idea of being Queen yet. And technically speaking, she wasn’t their Queen now. Everyone just called her that. So, Lucianne said, “Well, they’re not exactly wrong. I mean, I’m technically not the Qu…”

“Shush, Lucy.” Toby cut her off, and then he threw her a cheeky smile before offering a small bow and saying, “My apologies. What I meant to say was, ‘Shush, my Queen’.”

Lucianne narrowed her eyes before pushing Toby with just enough force to make him tilt sideways as he chuckled. Tate allowed himself a brief look at Lucianne before returning his sights to the next room.

Xandar continued, “Why her?”

“We were not told that either. We’re never told why we are to target a certain… target. The only one privy to these reasons would be the boss. Not even the Tacticians would know. As fighters, we are just told who we’re after, how we are to attack, when and where the attack should take place.”
