The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King

The next morning, Xandar scrolled through the headlines on his phone while he waited for Lucianne to fix her hair, which already looked perfect to him. After reading a few articles on the corruption case, he smiled, and picked the best one as he approached his beautiful mate. His arms crept around her waist from behind as he handed his phone to her and said, “Have a read, sweetheart.”

Xandar inhaled Lucianne’s scent from her neck when she skimmed through the article. It reported on the trial, and reproduced the statement the four of them collectively wrote while they were in the court cafeteria the previous day.

When Lucianne reached the end of the statement, her body stiffened. Her widened eyes were still fixed on the screen when she asked, “Why is my name above yours?”

Xandar’s lips curled into a smile at her neck when he explained in amusement, “Because it was your idea, my love. Why do you seem so surprised?”

“Because the Queen’s name normally comes after the King’s?” Lucianne pointed out matter-of-factly.

Xandar showed a disgusted look before saying, “That wouldn’t be fair. You want to burn down the patriarchy, don’t you? I’m helping you do just that, in my own little way for my own little freesia.”

“This is NOT a little way at all, Xandar.” Lucianne noted firmly, and turned to see his affectionate lilac eyes gazing deeply into hers while his head rested on her shoulder. She pecked a kiss on his nose and uttered gratefully, “Thank you, my love.”
