The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King

Chapter 85

After training and lunch, the alliance met at Xandar’s villa. They gathered in the King’s huge study, and the cousins got spare chairs and a foldable table out of the basement. They laid the report on the round table, and Toby and Sylvia offered to take notes while they discussed, reading through the report again together to see if their thoughts matched those of everyone around them.

Xandar noticed that Lucianne was checking the time every few minutes but he didn’t think much of it until her phone chimed in between their discussions. Lucianne stood from her seat as she said, “I have to go now. My ride’s here. I’ll see you guys in the dining hall tonight.”

Xandar reflexively held onto her elbow and asked frantically, “What ride?”

She furrowed her eyebrows in confusion at his question as she replied matter-of-factly, “The ridet o take me to tea.”

“What tea?” Xandar asked in jealousy as he thought to himself, ‘Who is she meeting with? Does she have eyes for someone else? Someone better? WHO IS HE?!!’

Lucianne finally understood that Xandar forgot about who she was meeting. She smiled teasingly at her mate, and kissed him on his cheek before she said, “The tea with Annie, my indecent beast. Who else?”

“Oh.”Xandar relaxed before muttering to himself, “Right. That’s today.”

Christian chuckled at his cousin’s overreaction and said, “Let the Queen go now, cuz. My wife isn’t going to steal her away from you.” The wolves around the table were already chuckling as subtly a s they could.

It was only then Xandar realised that he was still holding onto his mate’s elbow like his life depended on it. He pulled her towards him to peck on her lips before uttering, “Link me if you need anything. And be safe, okay?” She blushed and nodded dotingly. The alliance members were throwing cheeky smirks in Lucianne’s way as she left the room.

Xandar’s eyes followed her out, and when they heard the front door shutting, Christian glanced at his cousin before saying, “Everyone, let’s see if the King focuses better with or without the Queen here.”
