The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King

Chapter 92

A quarter to five in the morning, Xandar was resting his head on the bed next to his mate, taking i n her scent as he stroked her hand when, suddenly, he heard her soft moan. His body shot up from the chair, and he inched his face closer to hers as he uttered, “Baby. Baby, are you awake? Can you hear me?”

Lucianne’s fingers moved slightly in Xandar’s hand, and her eyelids pressed down for a moment before they opened halfway to reveal those dazed black orbs. Her dry lips parted as she muttered,” Xandar.”

Xandar’s eyes were tearing up with relief and joy. “Baby. Oh, Goddess. You’re okay. You’re okay.” H e kissed her on her lips and she responded, albeit very weakly.

When she felt his tears and he pulled away, she asked weakly, “What’s wrong, Xandar? Are you okay?”

He scoffed. She was the one on the hospital bed. He chuckled as he said, “I am now, my love.” He kissed her forehead, her nose and her cheek. “I missed you.”

She smiled with heavy eyelids as her hand started stroking his in retum. He kissed her fingers before saying, “I’m going to go get a doctor, okay? I won’t take long.”

“Wh-What? Wh-Where am I?” Lucianne started looking around as quickly as she could manage.

Xandar panicked. He didn’t want her to strain herself so he held her face gently in his hands and cooed, “Shh. Baby, you’re okay. You’re safe. You’re in a hospital. I’ll explain everything but I need to get a doctor to check on you first, okay?”

“Okay.” She answered slowly and softly.

When Xandar left her side, Lucianne saw a bottle of water on the nightstand and tried to reach for i t. Xandar beat her to it, and he helped her sit up before holding the bottle for her as she drowned half of its contents. When she uttered a soft ‘thank you’, he kissed her cheek and got her to lie back down before signaling Dr Karr to come over. 1

Dr Karr checked everything from heart rate to blood pressure to normal reflexes, and he was very satisfied with the results. He then asked Lucianne, “How do you feel now, My Queen? Any dizziness? Nausea? Discomfort on any part of your body.” Lucianne shook her head with a small smile.

“Any pain?” The doctor asked. She shook her head again.

“Not even in your left leg?” He asked in great concern. Again, she shook her head.

He was visibly relieved to hear that before proceeding to ask, “Do you feel sleepy, my Queen?”

“No. Just a little weak.” Lucianne muttered, barely loud enough for the two Lycans to catch.
