The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King

Chapter 233 Two Hundred and Thirty -Three

Lucianne sat up and held her breath, as did everyone else. On the side, Greg seemed like he couldn’t care less what happened to him but it did concern him that Lucianne looked worried. She shouldn't be under any stress given how hard the past few weeks had already been for her. He was only stealing momentary glances of her before but he was finding it difficult to look away now, until his cousin threw him a glare.

Greg rolled his eyes just to annoy his cousin one more time before reluctantly looking away. Lucianne felt Xandar’s jealousy, so she pecked a quick kiss on his jawline to calm her beast.

His imprisonment term shall be thirty years. The Duke may be released earlier, or placed under house arrest for good behaviour if and when such a time comes.” 1 Judge Cook placed the sheet of paper he held in his hand back on the bench table and said, “Crimes are taken seriously in the Court of Law. The violators shall be punished in order to protect the society at large. That being said, those who choose to come

Disregarding all the growls being thrown her way, Kelissa was screaming like a madwoman on her way out, shouting about how everyone would regret taking those pictures of her and reporting on the case, that she

her head, where he pecked a kiss and said, “The...podcasts in her confinement cell ought to help with the craziness.” Lucianne narrowed her eyes, and questioned, “That's your choice of word, Xandar? Podcasts? And what do you mean ‘help with the craziness’? She’s going to
