The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King

Chapter 145

When they came to the end of a broad hallway with bright lighting, Xandar started with the first portrait Unlike what Lucianne and everyone else learned in school, the Lycan in this first portrait was actually more influential than the King at that time.

Xandar explained that the plump woman with auburn curls in the picture was the late King’s sister, who has offered the King back then loads of ideas on how to detect if foreign species, such as vampires or human hunters enter their territories. In school, credit for such revolutionary ideas were given to the King, not his sister. She wasn’t even his second-in-command because of the sexist laws which forbade such an appointment at that time.

The second one was a man with a thick moustache and beard, and his eyes, to Lucianne’s surprise, were painted onyx. Xandar explained that this was a very powerful minister who always made himself heard. His intelligence and no-nonsense attitude was the very reason why even the King of that time chose to listen to him over the second-in-command. Sadly, he was assassinated when he was asleep, and the murderer behind his death was never found. 1

When they reached the third, it was a woman with dark brown hair reaching her lower back. Her blue eyes shone brightly against her pale, freckled, skin. Xandar then said, “This is the one I wanted to show you. Her name was Rosalie Tatiana Caberel. She was an expert in medicine, and was both loved and hated for her quick mind and sharp tongue. She went through two rejections in her lifetime before meeting her third chance mate, the Crowned Prince.”

Lucianne’s surprised eyes locked with Xandar’s smiling ones. Lucianne herself went through rejections before meeting Xandar, too. What a coincidence!

Xandar then continued, “Rosalie was conducting an operation on the King when she met the Prince, Reagan. Some books suggest that she wanted to sever the bond as soon as they found each other.”

Lucianne blinked at the second coincidence. Xandar stood closer to his mate, and held her hand tighter. She then asked in a small voice, “What happened then?”

Xandar gazed at his mate as he whispered, “He didn’t let her. Practically begged her for a chance despite his engagement to a noblewoman. Rosalie managed to recite her part of the rejection in the end but Reagan never accepted it.”
