The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King

Chapter 153

The King was touched. His late parents would throw an unnecessary birthday party where he had to mingle with people he didn’t even want to meet, let alone speak to. And when he reached a marital age, his mother had the annoying habit of introducing him to every eligible and ‘acceptable’ bachelorette at these parties.

When his parents both passed, Xandar immediately did away with the parties, and celebrated it with Christian and Annie instead. Although it was a much smaller celebration compared to what his parents did for him, he preferred spending the day with the people he loved and was close to as opposed to guests he had to constantly watch his tongue, attitude and temper around.

Lucianne wanted to help the wolves set up the food but everyone just pushed her away, asking her to ‘sit and wait while the rest of them did it. Frustrated, Lucianne muttered, “Stupid large-sized werewolves.”.

Literally no one took that as an offence because largeness in body size is actually a compliment for a wolf and a Lycan. They simply smiled and chuckled like Lucianne wasn’t fuming right next to them. Juan pressed back a smile at her remark and her reaction. Unless it was combat or sneaking around, his sister’s size had always been a disadvantage. Always.

While Toby was arranging the paper plates, cups and plastic cutlery, he decided to entertain his friend so h e said, “We could do worse, Lucy. We could ask your mate to carry you and put you in your seat right there instead of letting you stand around us here.”

“Do NOT give him any ideas, Toby!” Lucianne’s eyes burned into his.

Xandar was helping out Luna Lovelace with the punch and soft drinks on the side when he heard that. With a glint in his eye, he muttered, “And that’s my cue.” Before Lucianne had the chance to argue, he scooped her up and placed her into her seat, pushing the chair deep in to make it more difficult for her to get out.

“I’ll get you the food, sweetheart.”

“Xandar, I can walk. I’m fine! I’m not a baby!” Lucianne whined.

Xandar then said, more seriously, “In your own ways, you’ve all taught me so much about combat, rogues, and even leadership. A leader should always fight with its people, defending them at all costs. Having met all of you, and being bonded to this over-responsible mate of mine, I’m determined to join you in any battles to

With a gracious smile, the King announced, “It would be an honour, if those of you named would help us on a temporary basis, and it’d be even better if we can turn that help into a permanent one, with Gamma Tobias as our Defence Minister; Luna Lovelace
