The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King

Chapter 228 Two Hundred and Twenty-Eight

It was a given that Sebastian would bump into Lucianne. With nothing but annoyance, the Lycan King muttered, “You’ve got to be f*cking kidding me.”

He dashed out of the door, and the first thing he heard Lucianne said was, “I killed her. I’m not sorry that I did it but Iam sorry for your loss.” Sebastian’s voice was soft and gentle when he responded, “She would’ve continued to find ways to hurt you if you kept her alive anyway, my Queen.”
