The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King

Chapter 139

On Saturday morning, Lucianne woke up to Xandar pulling her back into bed the moment she tried to get out. After two minutes of persistent whining of needing to use the bathroom, Xandar finally released her. They went for their usual run and spent some time in the shower together before having breakfast.

Xandar then drove them to the government headquarters. Upon entering through the high metal gates, Lucianne saw that the headquarters was a large estate on its own, and the endless rows of empty parking lots showed the numerous employees working in the white and grey building. If it weren’t for it being the weekend, those lots would’ve been filled with vehicles.

After Xandar parked in his reserved lot, they got out of the car and hand-in-hand, Xandar led Lucianne to the entrance. The large automatic glass doors slid open when they were four steps away. Xandar couldn’t take his eyes off his mate, who never failed to look like an adorable curious cat whenever she was in a new place.

As they walked along the corridor, Lucianne’s bright eyes scanned the large portraits of past Kings and Queens hung in frames against the beige walls. Her feet stopped when she reached the portrait of the late King Lucas and Queen Vera. Lucianne couldn’t help but feel a negative energy from King Lucas’s eyes, despite its lilac shade. And with Queen Vera, she couldn’t feel anything. The Queen was smiling but the smile carried no happiness, like her lips simply curled up for the sake of the painting.

A pair of strong arms snuck around her waist, and Lucianne felt her mate’s warm breath tickling her ear a she whispered, “We’ll do better than them, Lucy. We’re already doing better than them.” He then pecked a sweet kiss on her cheek before taking in her scent from her neck.

When Lucianne heard the approaching footsteps of the cleaners, she immediately tore her eyes away from the portrait and made Xandar release his intimate hold on her. He groaned at Lucianne’s need for them to behave’ in public before gluing his hand on the small of her back as they continued walking down the corridor.

When they came to the very centre of the building, she looked at the statues of revolutionary Kings, heroes and heroines placed near the walls right before the entrance of each hallway. The features of the statues were highlighted not only by the outstanding craftsmanship but also the glowing lights from the chandelier that hung from the high ceiling.

When Lucianne had finished studying the hall, Xandar pressed the side of her body against his as he whispered with a smile filled with pride, “Soon, they’d have to make room for a statue of you in this hall. The first Queen standing among the Kings, heroes and heroines.”
