Chapter 100

In Xandar’s chest, Lucianne continued her tale in a small voice, “Alpha Jake was bad news from the very start. Everyone saw it, except his parents. There was this negative energy that you can feel whenever his presence was close by.”

She sighed before saying, “He asked me for a dance but I said no. Luna Janice, being the cordial one in the pack house, told me that as children of pack leaders, we had to oblige simple gestures to keep the peace with our allies. She said that just because I was adopted, it didn’t make me any different. I was mad at her for pressing me like that but I was also driven by a sense of duty to my pack. So, I mentally prepared myself to oblige Alpha Jake’s request if he asked again, which he didn’t, thank Goddess. But his brother, Clement, did. As I told myself that I was doing it for my pack, I obliged. Clement is definitely not like his brother. The two couldn’t be more different.”

Xandar finally understood why she buried herself in his chest. Alpha Jake. That was definitely a name Xandar would never think of forgetting. He held her tighter as a form of assurance before muttering in controlled anger, “I can’t believe Juan’s mother made you do that. You should never have to do something against your wishes, Lucy.”

She took in his comforting scent before she said, “That was what Alpha Ken and Juan said. Well, what they yelled, to be more precise. The father and son threw a fit for two hours after the party when they found out what Luna Janice said to me. Their outburst definitely made me feel better. A t least I knew that a sense of duty to Blue Crescent didn’t mean saying yes to things that made me uncomfortable.”

Xandar’s mood eased considerably, and he kissed her temple as he said, “I would love to meet Alpha Ken one day. I need to thank him for this.” He took in a whiff from her neck before something struck him: If Jake was the Alpha, why was Alpha Clement…the Alpha? Is this a new pack system that he didn’t know about? Can a pack even be run by two Alphas?
