The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King

Chapter 225 Two Hundred and Twenty-Five

Lucianne challenged her mate with equally fierce eyes and tone, “And he ENDED it, my King. Are you saying that doesn’t matter? At all?” Silence ensued and she continued, “You very well know we were hitting a dead end with the corrupt ministers. The audits Ellia gave us were flimsy because they were in hard copies, hidden for almost two decades. It wasn’t possible to authenticate those. The court was ready to throw it out as suspicious evidence. Even if we got Ellia and the others to testify, there was a chance that the sentencing wouldn't be as heavy as it now is. Greg's evidence came in a chip, and it was authenticated with ease. The strength of the evidence he handed over put those people he colluded with behind bars. Now, he’s even given himself up.”

Xandar argued, “If I remember correctly, we arrested him, Lucy. He couldn't run.”

Lucianne’s eyebrows raised as she questioned him, “Do you really believe that? Do you really think he couldn’t get out of anywhere if he wanted to? How do you explain his impeccable disappearance for the past couple of weeks? And if he wanted to run, why didn’t he do just that right after sending us the location of the Kyltons’ residence? Why did he wait for us to get there to bring him back with us?” Xandar averted his eyes and breathed in anger because he wasn’t able to answer her. No one could answer Lucianne, or argue against her. She turned to face everyone and said, “We only have him now because he is giving himself up. I don’t know why he’s doing it but if there isn't a  alanced indictment for Greg, then every other
criminal lurking in the dark corners of the Kingdom would never see the point in leaving their ways and coming to us. We CAN’T have that. We can’t disregard the help that a criminal has given to the government and the monarchy. Omitting to take their contribution into account amounts to a form of punishment that is greater than torture, greater than any punishment that can be imposed by the law.”

“What's that? What can be greater than torture or death?” Juan asked the question running through everyone’s minds.

Lucianne’s eyes met her brother's, and she declared, “Betrayal.”

excruciating. She felt the anguish from the rejections and the betrayal from two of her past mates. She also felt betrayed by the Moon Goddess, who was not supposed to hurt her if she didn’t do anything wrong, and who was not supposed to bond her to creatures who would hurt her. On many nights, she wished that she would just wake up dead. It was no secret that it took her many weeks and even months
