The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King

Chapter 179

Xandar’s body shot up when Juan, Tate and Christian screamed his mate’s name. His eyes searched for her and found her right behind him, in Juan’s embrace.

“NO, BABY!” Xandar went to the Alpha, and carefully took Lucianne from him. Xandar held her close to his chest. Why was her body so cold? And why was she turning grey? Christian explained what happened in a cracked voice. Lorenz reported that there weren’t any visible improvements on Lucianne’s condition yet, and the grey veins on her arms and legs were creeping up her neck, reaching her face.

They dashed back to the submarines, hoping to get back to the pack clinic on time to carry out a blood transfusion for Lucianne. Since the poison had not been in her bloodstream for as long as it was in Xandar’s, there may be time. Lorenz had already sent word to their neighboring pack to send more blood to Faint Moon as soon as possible.

They told the submarine operators to step on it, and Xandar’s own tears began trickling down his face as he pressed Lucianne’s body deeper into his chest. He buried his face in her hair as he whispered, “Baby. Why? Baby, please wake up. Please. I love you. Please.”

When Toby saw his best friend, he cursed before he went forward and knelt on both knees as he studied the grey lines all over her body before he mouthed ‘no’. Lucianne didn’t even look this bad the last time Oleander was in the system. None of them recall seeing any dark grey veins from the window outside the operating room where Lucianne was being treated.

“What’s the status, Lorenz?” Lovelace asked, even though she and everyone else were afraid of the answer.

Lorenz looked at the indicator in his hand as he muttered, “Her heart rate is slowing.”

Xandar nuzzled her partially-grey nose, and gently pressed his forehead against hers as he whispered, “Fight, baby. Please. We need you. I need you. Lucy, you can’t leave me alone here. Please, fight.”

After another ten agonizing minutes, Lorenz gasped and let out a sigh of relief as he showed the indicator in his hand to the very lost non-medical alliance members. The doctor wiped away the tears in his eyes and cleared his throat before he explained, “Her breathing is picking up, as is her heart rate.”
