The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King

Chapter 134

The four ministers felt the tension the moment they stepped foot into the hall. With their heads held low, they knelt on one knee before the royals as they uttered, “Your Highnesses. Your Graces.”

Lucianne smiled graciously as she spoke in a much gentler voice, “Yarrington, Weaver, Pamela and Vanessa, it’s so nice that you four could join us tonight, despite your current workload.”

Her warmth was contagious, and the atmosphere of the room took a 360-degree turn, their mood easing with the Queen’s mellowed voice. Xandar matched his mate’s smile as he said, “Stand, ministers.” 3

They stood, all looking less fearful than before. Yarrington then handed a grey folder to Christian as he started explaining, “We’ve negated the last two complaints made against you, your Grace. I’ve asked Vanessa and Pamela to trace the roots of the complaints, and they found that all ten false allegations were made from the same IP address.” He then looked behind him as he said, “Vanessa, it’s your cue.”

When Yarrington stepped aside, Vanessa looked mostly at the encouraging Lucianne and Annie as she spoke, “Basically, we traced the complaints to the location that it was sent from. Oddly and coincidentally, all ten were made from the same IP address and the same device, a laptop registered under the name of Herbert Horasho Martin’, and the IP address is the Dawson residence.”

“Huh.” Lucianne muttered in response as all eyes fell on the two Lycans who were as white as sheets at this point. 2

Christian and Xandar growled at the young couple so fiercely that they even made Dorothy burst into tears. For the first time, Lucianne didn’t stop Xandar. She was equally enraged. The click-clack of Lucianne’s heels and Dorothy’s sobs were the only sounds in the dining hall when Lucianne walked towards them.

Xandar, Christian and Annie were not far behind her. Every Lycan and wolf held their heads low when they walked past. When Lucianne was right in front of them, Dorothy sobbed even louder. The couple would leave but they doubted that the two policemen behind them would let them go.

Lucianne didn’t bother faking a smile and asked curtly, “Why did you both do it?”

Herbert opened his mouth but nothing came out. Dorothy continued to sob as she spoke incoherently, “I didn’t w-want to. Her-bert made me.”
