The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King

Chapter 152

The Duke suggested, “I’ll mind-link Annie, and we’ll see if you can find your way in.”

Lucianne seemed uncomfortable when she asked the Duke and Duchess, “Are you sure?”

Annie scoffed as she said, “Lucy, what’s there to be unsure about? You’ve only ever looked out for us. We’ll give it a go if you want to.”

Lucianne still felt it to be wrong as she took a breath and muttered a reluctant ‘okay’. Their eyes started to glaze over, and Lucianne tried her best to enter their link. After a whole minute of failed attempts, she gave up. Everyone was a little disappointed but they couldn’t blame Lucianne for not being able to do it. She could already do more than every single one of them.

“I can’t. I couldn’t find a way in. I’m sorry.” Lucianne said guiltily.

Xandar stroked her hand as he said gently, “Maybe it’s because you can’t find it in your heart to find a way in, Lucy.” His comforting lilac eyes peered into her sad, black orbs as he explained, “You told me that you feel this ability you have is invasive and wrong. And you told me that you’ve only hacked into the pack leaders’ group link twice. Both times, you had a dire need to stop Juan, to defend those he was yelling at.”

After pecking an assuring kiss on her hand, he continued, “Maybe you have to see a need to hack into the link between Christian and Annie, sweetheart. A dire need, where you feel like you need to do this to protect or defend someone.”

Lucianne internalized her mate’s words, and she felt like a mental block was removed from her mind. When she came up with a reason she hoped would be good enough, she turned to Christian and Annie and asked, “Can we try it again?”

They smiled and nodded, their eyes glazed over again. Lucianne took another deep breath as she stared at the notepad in front of her and focused on her reason to hack. In less than ten seconds, her eyes glazed over, and the alliance started to get excited as Toby wowed in awe and Zelena squealed in delight.

Xandar smiled in pride as he watched his mate’s glazed-over eyes. ‘Unbelievably amazing’, he thought to himself.

When the Duke and Duchess’s eyes cleared, so did Lucianne’s. She narrowed her eyes and smirked in Christian’s way as she said, “No, Christian. I cannot hack computers with my mind like how I’m trying to hack mind-links.”
