The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King

Chapter 24

Xandar’s smile increased in its radiance as he continued, “In our history, no Queen was known to have fought alongside her people. It’s because of that that Lucianne was ready to sever our mate bond to continue to fight for those who couldn’t.” There were gasps of shock and despair that didn’t even bother to be subtle, mostly from the werewolf community. Juan, Tate and Toby started feeling uneasy. 2

Xandar smiled as he continued to speak, “And to be honest, she would have been doing the right thing.” This garnered no laughter or support, only silence and confusion. “I don’t see why she must give up protecting our people when the whole point of being a Queen is to protect the people.

Her name will go down in history for many great things. But arguably, the most significant thing that Lucy will be known for is being the first Queen to grace the battlefields with her presence, and fight alongside our people. I would be an idiot of a King if I forbade her from continuing what she does. Werewolves, you will not lose her. Lycans, you have no idea how fortunate we are to have her.” 1

Lucianne’s eyes were already glistening, touched by Xandar’s words. He kissed the back of her hand before saying, “Our Goddess could not have blessed our Kingdom with a more qualified Queen. And I can only hope to be a King worthy enough to rule alongside you, my dear.”

As Xandar held onto her hand, he knelt on one knee and tilted his head down to bow in her direction before addressing Lucianne in a thunderous voice, “My Queen.” 1

Lucianne’s posture straightened in shock. Behind Xandar, Christian knelt and bowed in the same manner as his cousin, and addressed her equally loudly, “My Queen.”

One by one, everyone in the hall, including the members of the alliance, knelt, bowed and uttered ‘My Queen’ in the way that their King and Duke were doing. Lucianne was so stunned that, for a moment, she could not find her voice.

When she found it, she took a deep breath and said, “Rise. All of you.” Even she was surprised by the power which exuded from her vocal chords. It was so different from how she normally spoke that she wondered whether it was really her who said it.

“Long ago, I made a promise to myself that as long as I live, I will do everything i n my power to protect the innocent and defend the vulnerable. Tonight, I am making that same promise to everyone in this Kingdom. It is an honor to have fought alongside so many brave and noble warriors and leaders over the years, all of whom I’m proud to call my brothers and sisters. And
