The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King

Chapter 99

There was a sigh from the Alpha’s end of the line before he said, “Lucy, for the infinite time, it’s just Clement to you. I swear, if you call me by my title again, I’m going to start calling you ‘Your Highness’.”

Xandar instinctively held Lucianne tighter when jealousy crept into his being at how the Alpha sounded more flirtatious than irritated.

“Clement, get serious! When was this taken?” Lucianne exclaimed with zero humour. A steady inferno started building in Xandar’s chest at how close they seemed to be that the Alpha insisted Lucianne only called him by his name. And this Alpha wasn’t even a part of the alliance. Just how many men were after his mate anyway?!

Alpha Clement began speaking, “First of all, it’s good to hear that you’re okay. Second,” He matched her serious tone as he said, “this photo was taken only a minute ago. I forwarded it to you as soon as my Beta sent it to me. We should be worried, right?”

Lucianne’s eyes never left the photo showing several large footprints, which could only belong to Lycans. Her voice was calm when she asked, “Do these lead anywhere?”

Clement’s reply was immediate, “The tracks stopped at the river. They must’ve crossed it, shifted back to their human form and disappeared into that thick forest behind our pack. Our warriors are awaiting instructions but I told them I’ll ask you first. Should we be worried, Lucy?”

Lucianne bit her bottom lip before she spoke reluctantly, “We should all be, Clement. I’m glad that i t was just the footprints they found and not the creatures themselves but I can’t help but wonder what they were doing there.”

“Beats me. I’m all the way over here. If they came to kill me, they must’ve been disappointed.”

“This location is too far from the pack house to know you’re not there though.” Lucianne uttered and pondered for a moment before she said, “Clement, you might wanna ask Beta Nina to tighten security around your pack border. Get the families to lock themselves in their panic rooms from midnight until daylight for the next ten days. Place a few more warriors up in trees to look-out for incoming attacks. Blue Crescent should be able to spare a few warriors. Link Juan to get our people to help. Ask for seven of them, if possible.”

“Yup, I’ll do that.” Clement said before he chuckled lightly.

Lucianne looked at her phone in annoyance as Xandar’s grip around her abdomen tightened even further. “Clement, this is real right? It’s not a joke, is it?”

said, “It is real, Lucy. I wasn’t laughing because of that. Believe me, I’m worried too. But…” his tone came out flirtatious when he continued, “…when I hear you speak like that, it just reminds me
