The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King

Xandar’s eyes glistened in happiness and gratitude. He pulled Lucianne into a deep kiss before parting their lips to ask, “How did I get so lucky to be bonded to you, my love?”

Christian coughed to get his cousin’s attention. His voice was more cheerful than before when he said, “Sorry, cuz. But she’s bonded to all of us, as in, the whole Kingdom. You have to share her. She’s everyone’s Queen, not just yours.”

“Thanks for spoiling my moment with my mate.” Xandar complained with narrowed eyes.

Christian disregarded his cousin’s sarcasm and offered a wide grin and a playful bow as he said, “As your favorite cousin, it is my greatest pleasure to annoy you, your Highness.”

When Lucianne was chuckling from watching the Duke bow like that, her mate pecked a surprise kiss on her cheek before whispering into her ear, “Thank you, baby, so much. I needed that.” A kiss on her ear lobe and he uttered, “I love you.”

As the usual blushes crept up her cheeks, Lucianne said, “I know. I love you, too.”

They still had some time before the court resumed its session. So, Xandar got out his phone to type out a draft for the press statement. The four of them then passed his phone around amongst themselves to proofread and edit the text until they were all satisfied.

After recess, the court invited Patrick Dupont to take the stand next. And after the first few questions, it was clear that Dupont was derailing from his original defense. Initially, he said what the other ministers said, which was that he accepted the money due to Greg Claw’s coercion.

Today, however, Dupont argued that he “didn’t have a clue” that government funds in large sums had been channeling into his account for almost two decades!

The prosecutor asked with furrowed brows, “Mr Dupont, didn’t you say that you knew about the fund transactions but that you were coerced to perform those illegal transactions?”
